A little information about the mighty Triton pickup

The Mitsubishi Triton is infused with the automaker’s legendary off-road DNA, which translates into an advanced two-stage turbocharged technology. The first stage utilises High-Pressure Turbo to ensure quick air intake at low RPM, and the second stage is activated via Low-Pressure Turbo, taking over at higher RPMs. Overall, its 2.4-litre two-stage turbo engine with clean diesel tech pumps out a maximum power of 204 PS along with a peak torque of 470 Nm.

In addition to this, the Triton is blessed with motorsports-derived handling that offers absolute control to your fingertips, all thanks to inclusions like -

• Super Select 4WD-II with four selectable modes that deliver stability on wet surfaces and outstanding cornering performance on dry pavement
• 7 Drive Modes, including Mitsubishi's special Gravel Mode that allows for max speed on slippery/gravel surfaces
• Active Yaw Control (AYC) helps drivers precisely handle the car on slippery surfaces
• Active Stability & Traction Control (ASTC) maintains vehicle stability and optimises traction by applying brake force to spinning wheels as needed
• Active Limited Slip Differential (Brake Control Type) prevents wheel spin on slippery roads by applying the brake, thus ensuring better road grip & control
• Hill Descent Control (HDC) applies brakes and maintains traction when travelling downhill

Coming back to MMM’s upcoming ‘Live to Drive’ event, here participants will take part in various interesting challenges, each highlighting Triton’s performance & comfort capabilities. Here is the list of challenges and their details -
