The new generation of Mitsubishi Triton has not been launched in Malaysia yet, but in Thailand, the pickup truck is already offered in a limited edition guise known as the Black Edition.

Based on the Double Cab Plus Ultra AT variant, the Triton Black Edition is available in two exterior colour options, namely Graphite Grey and White Diamond.

Regardless of the chosen colour, the truck comes with black exterior elements as seen on the Dynamic Shield grille, fog lamp covers, 18-inch alloy wheels, side mirror covers, door handles, and tailgate handle.

On top of that, the side steps and rear bumper are given smoked titanium accents to give the Triton an even more menacing look.

Inside, the cabin carries on the dark theme with a black seat upholstery, door panels, and dashboard, contrasted with white stitching and a white headliner.

Standard features include a nine-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and an ADAS system encompassing features like the Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM), Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Lane Change Assist (LCA), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), to name a few.

Powering the Triton Black Edition is Mitsubishi’s new Hyper Power 2.4-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel engine producing 184 PS and 430 Nm. It is only available with a six-speed automatic transmission.

Pricing starts at 1,027,000 baht (RM132,666). Mitsubishi says the Triton Black Edition will be offered in limited numbers, although the exact figures have not been disclosed.
