The Mitsubishi Triton VI Double Cab 2.4 Hyper Power (184 Hp) Automatic, launched in July 2023, represents the latest iteration of Mitsubishi’s globally popular pickup truck. While not officially sold in the United States, the Triton (known as the L200 in many international markets) is a significant player in the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America, Europe, and Africa. It caters to buyers seeking a robust, versatile vehicle for both commercial and personal use, offering a blend of practicality, durability, and increasingly, modern features. The sixth generation, specifically the Double Cab variant with the 2.4 Hyper Power engine, aims to enhance these qualities with improved performance and technology.
Mitsubishi Triton VI Double Cab: An Overview
The Triton VI Double Cab is positioned as a mid-size pickup truck, competing with models like the Toyota Hilux, Nissan Navara, and Ford Ranger in international markets. The “Double Cab” configuration designates a model with two rows of seating, offering increased passenger capacity compared to standard cab versions. The 2.4 Hyper Power designation refers to the engine variant, a turbocharged diesel engine designed to deliver a balance of power and fuel efficiency. This generation represents a substantial redesign, focusing on enhanced safety, comfort, and off-road capability, while maintaining the Triton’s reputation for reliability.
Engine & Performance
At the heart of the Triton VI Double Cab 2.4 Hyper Power is a 2.4-liter inline-four cylinder diesel engine, designated the 4N16. This engine produces 184 horsepower at 3500 rpm and 430 Newton-meters (317.15 lb.-ft.) of torque between 2250 and 2500 rpm. The engine utilizes a diesel commonrail fuel injection system and is equipped with a turbocharger and intercooler to optimize performance. The longitudinal engine layout contributes to a balanced weight distribution. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine’s design prioritizes both power delivery for hauling and towing, and fuel efficiency for everyday driving. The inclusion of a Start & Stop system further contributes to improved fuel economy in urban conditions. The power-to-weight ratio is 75.3 horsepower per liter, indicating a reasonably efficient engine for its class.
Design & Features
The Triton VI Double Cab boasts a modern and rugged exterior design. As a pickup truck, its body style is inherently utilitarian, but Mitsubishi has incorporated design elements to enhance its aesthetic appeal. The Double Cab configuration provides seating for five passengers and offers a practical cabin space. Key features include a robust chassis designed for durability and off-road capability, a comfortable interior with modern amenities, and a cargo bed suitable for various hauling needs. The vehicle’s dimensions – 5320 mm (209.45 in.) in length, 1865 mm (73.43 in.) in width, and 1795 mm (70.67 in.) in height – provide a substantial presence on the road. A ground clearance of 222 mm (8.74 in.) enhances its off-road prowess. Safety features, while varying by market, typically include ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) as standard, with higher trims potentially offering advanced driver-assistance systems. The Triton VI Double Cab is designed to be a versatile vehicle, capable of handling both demanding work tasks and comfortable family transportation.
