The all-new Mitsubishi Triton made its ASEAN debut back in July this year, and now its ASEAN NCAP crash test results are out. There’s nothing too out of the ordinary here, as the pickup truck has managed to score a 5-star ASEAN NCAP rating. That’s good news for those who are anticipating its launch in Malaysia.
From the published crash test report, the all-new Mitsubishi Triton scored 26.01/32.00 for Adult Occupant Protection (AOP), 44.72/51.00 for Child Occupant Protection (COP), 15.16/21.00 for Safety Assist, and 8.18/16.00 for Motorcyclist Safety. The overall score for the Triton is 74.71 which grants it a 5-star rating.
Safety equipment present on the all-new Mitsubishi Triton includes autonomous emergency braking (AEB), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Forward Collision Mitigation system (FCM), Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Lane Change Assist (LCA), and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).
Built on an all-new platform, the all-new Triton is powered by a newly-developed 4N16 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine which gets three different tuning settings – High Output, Standard 1, and Standard 2. The most powerful version outputs 150 kW (204 hp metric) at 3,500 rpm and 470 Nm at 1,500-2,750 rpm. The other two tuning settings of the 4N16 make 184 hp/430 Nm and 150 hp/330 Nm respectively.

The all-new Mitsubishi Triton also comes with Mitsubishi Connect which allows your car to be connected to your mobile phone. With Mitsubishi Connect, you can use your phone to find your car (location access), check the remaining fuel volume, check the oil condition, check the driving history, remotely start the air conditioning, remotely operate the headlights, and remotely operate the horn.
Already launched in Thailand upon its ASEAN debut, we should be able to see the all-new Mitsubishi Triton on our roads soon. Currently available in Malaysia is the outgoing version of the truck with 4×4 and 4×2 versions.
