The 2025 Mitsubishi Triton GLX-R delivers another option in Australia’s thriving ute market, with the new generation Triton providing a versatile 5-seat dual cab that’s not only comfortable and practical, but is good off road too.
On the outside, the Triton looks the goods, with its large bold front grille, black 18-inch alloy wheels, black sports bar, and additional black accents. Our test vehicle came with the optional tub liner and tow bar, with the latter supporting a 350kg braked towing capacity.
Available in Diamond Red or White, Black Mica, Blade Silver, Impulsive Blue, and Graphite, it’s powered by a reliable 2.4-litre bi-turbo diesel engine that delivers a commendable 150kW of power and 470Nm of torque.
The engine paired with a smooth six-speed automatic transmission that ensures effortless gear shifts, whether cruising on highways or looking to navigate rocky trails. The Triton’s Super Select II 4WD system adds to its capability.
The setup allows users to seamlessly switch between driving modes, optimising performance in varied conditions, including Eco, Normal, Gravel, Snow, Mud, Sand and Rock. These combine with 2H, 4H, 4HLC and 4LLC for plenty of options.
With a 75-litre fuel tank, the Triton averages a respectable 7.7-litres/100km (at least when you’re not towing), equating to an exceptional driving range of around 974km. The interior isn’t flash, but the cabin is fit for purpose, with the fabric seats provide adequate support.
The GLX-R variant misses out on a smart key and push-button start, making it feel a little underdone for the price. Add in the fact the seats have no power adjustment and only the driver’s window scoring auto up and down, and things feal cheap, at best.
Halogen headlights offer limited visibility and the air-conditioning setup is single zone. It does score a leather wrapped steering wheel though, complete with multi-function controls for music and activating cruise control.
A 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, and AM/FM radio. The four-speaker sound system lacks clarity and bass, resulting in average audio quality throughout the cabin.
A 7.0-inch multifunction driver’s display provides an array of information, including a digital speedo, compass, fuel consumption, music, and outside temperature. There are two USB inputs up front, two in the rear, and a 12V socket. No wireless charging is available.
Ample storage is provided throughout the cabin, with bottle holders in all four doors, a sunglasses pocket, open upper glove box and a large and deep centre cubby. The 2025 Mitsubishi Triton GLX-R has a 5-star ANCAP safety rating.
Key features include driver attention alert, front cross traffic alert, a surround view camera setup, blind spot warning and a driver monitoring system. The latter has to be one of the most annoying of its kind.
In addition, the vehicle is fitted with ABS, ELA, EBA, ASC, airbags and two child seat anchor points. Covered by a 10-year or 200,000km warranty when you service with Mitsubishi’s Diamond Advantage program includes 10-years or 150,000km capped price servicing.
The GLX-R Double Cab has a starting price of $56,490 drive away. You can find out more from the Mitsubishi Motors Australia website, or by talking to your local dealership. To get a low rate finance quote, talk to Australia’s best reviewed car finance broker; Credit One.
