The next-generation Mitsubishi Triton and Nissan Navara will be offered with a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain option and their core development will be led by the youngest partner of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance. Mitsubishi has previously confirmed that replacements for the existing Triton and Navara will essentially be twins under the skin and perhaps badged as the Triton Ralliart and Navara NISMO. While Mitsubishi and Nissan will share a common ladder platform to replace the current Triton and Navara (and the Renault Alaskan and Mercedes-Benz X-Class).
The new Mitsubishi L200 (known as the Triton in some markets) has been developed to embody the Engineered Beyond Tough keyphrase which underlined its creation. Elements making it significantly more competitive include. More powerful styling that incorporates the latest iteration of the Dynamic Shield front design concept; an enhanced 4WD system that delivers improved off-road performance and the latest in active safety and driver assistance systems. Overall, the new model features significant refinements to the durability and reliability required by the commercial user and to the comfort and ride quality sought by the private user.
