The Return Of The Mitsubishi Triton Single Cab

 The Mitsubishi Triton is once again available in single cab workhorse guise, a format that hasn’t been offered in the current generation until now.


Aimed squarely at business users, the new Triton single cab GL model is priced at R409 995, an R75 000 saving over the entry-level double cab GL variant announced earlier this year. Like the latter, the newcomer is powered by a detuned version of the familiar 2.4-litre turbodiesel engine, which in this guise produces 100kW and 324Nm.

The single cab is available exclusively in rear-wheel drive format, with a six-speed manual gearbox. The vehicle is fitted as standard with a limited-slip differential, which enhances traction by redistributing the engine’s torque to the wheel with the most grip.

As you’d expect, the entry model rolls on 16-inch steel wheels, suspended at the back by a leaf spring suspension system. The vehicle will carry up to a tonne, and integrated cargo hooks are provided to secure loads.

The cabin is workmanlike, to say the least, with seats upholstered in durable vinyl upholstery. Although the picture shows manual wind-up windows, Mitsubishi says the local model features electric windows as standard. It also ships with manual air conditioning, central locking, immobiliser, dual front airbags and ABS brakes.

After-sales back-up comes in the form of a five-year/90 000km service plan, three-year/100 000km warranty and five years of unlimited-kilometre roadside assistance. Mitsubishi says it has also considered the price of replacement parts carefully to lower the overall cost of ownership.

“The launch of the Single Cab is firmly directed at the fleet and small business market and aimed to provide a cost-effective solution in the face of the steadily rising price of fuel and the recent repo rates hike,” said Mitsubishi Motors SA marketing manager Jeffrey Allison.

“Offering a more versatile commercial vehicle range is a clear indication of MMSA’s consumer-centric approach of listening to and acting on the needs of customers,” he added.

Allison also stated that Mitsubishi was planning further additions to the Mitsubishi Triton range, with details to be announced later.

Mitsubishi ASX Sport edition adds colour and tech

Image
Mitsubishi has taken some of that orange and black flavouring that it applied to the Triton ‘Athlete’ special edition and applied it to a new range-topping  Mitsubishi ASX edition called the Sport. The ASX Sport is based on the GLX model and sells for the same base price, but according to Mitsubishi it adds R30 000 worth of extras. Most notably, it adds an upgraded infotainment system that is now compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. As before, the factory-fitted 17.8cm touchscreen infotainment system also features satellite navigation and Bluetooth. On the outside, the Sport has been dressed up with a number of styling accessories, including a Sport decal set that consists of various black and orange strips as well as carbon fibre inserts. The special edition can be ordered with either white or grey exterior paint, and in both cases, it rolls on a set of gloss black alloy wheels. As with the GLX it’s based on, the Sport features a lengthy list of standard feature...
