Mitsubishi Triton gets update and price increase

Wednesday, 8 April 2026

One of the country’s most popular dual-cab utes — the Mitsubishi Triton — has been given a mild update for 2026, and with it an equally mild price increase.

Whilst Mitsubishi’s local arm has yet to issue a release on what the update entails, it is likely to echo the changes that the Triton has received across the ditch in Australia.

The key update is a series of tweaks to its suspension, including revised front spring rates and shock absorber valving. These changes are said to improve the model’s ride quality and handling.

When looking at the Triton’s core double-cab wellside variants, most models have been given a price rise of $1000.

The variant that’s shifted the most is the entry-level GLX wellside, which in 2WD and 4WD configuration has had its price before on-road costs lifted from $43,990 (2WD) and $50,740 (4WD), to $46,990 (2WD) and $51,990 (4WD).

The most notable variant that bucks the trend is the flagship VRX 4WD, which gets an unchanged sticker price of $59,990 plus on-road costs.

There is also a new model that’s been added to the mix, the GLX-Sport 4WD. Priced from $49,990, it is $2000 less than the standard GLX.

It adds a sports bar (it’s the only model in the range to get one), 18-inch wheels, leather-wrapped steering wheel, carpeted floor, silver seat stitching, an extra pair of speakers, and swaps the heavy duty leaf spring set-up for the more compliant tune of the GLXR.

The Triton’s changes come as its platform-sharing Nissan Navara cousin arrives in the country. Whether the Triton’s suspension tuning can match the locally dialed Premcar tuning in the Navara could be critical with customers considering the two models.

Despite its price revisions, the Triton remains cheaper than the Navara across the board, with the latter starting at $54,690 plus on-roads.

The Triton's 2.4-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesel powertrain has received no changes, with its output still rated at 150kW of power and 470Nm of torque.

CORRECTION: Car Expert has corrected this story to show the price of the GLX 4WD is $51,990, not the $53,990 originally published. And to show that the GLX-Sport is $2000 less, not $2000 more, than the standard GLX.
