What did Mitsubishi change in 2025 Triton?

It’s only been two years since Mitsubishi launched the all-new Triton in Southeast Asia and just over a year since Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) revealed the latest generation pickup truck. But over in Thailand, where it originates, the automaker has given the midsize pickup an upgrade.

That’s right, Mitsubishi Motors Thailand has just unveiled the 2025 Triton, and it’s sporting some neat upgrades. While it’s not exactly a facelift, the automaker was focused on giving it more amenities and new technologies. For starters, the 2025 Triton is now available with adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assist, which can automatically slow down the pickup to a complete stop.

Models equipped with dual-zone climate control now also benefit from a nanoe X air purification system that inhibits the growth of bacteria and delivers a fresher-smelling cabin. Meanwhile, the leather seats now come with “Heat Guard,” which reflects heat for better comfort.

Style-wise, the 2025 Triton still looks relatively the same, more or less. However, it’s now available with blacked-out exterior elements that appear to have been derived from the top-of-the-line Athlete. They mostly replace the shiny chrome bits, which can be seen on the Black Dynamic Shield, the LED foglight bezels, side mirror caps, door handles, tailgate handle, rear bumper trim, and side-steps. Even the 18-inch alloy wheels were painted black to suit the pickup’s more aggressive look.

Mechanically, the 2.4L turbo-diesel engine remains as is and is available in two states of tune. The top-of-the-line Athlete benefits from a bi-turbo system that generates 204 PS and 470 Nm of torque, while the non-Athlete variants only come with a single turbo, which puts out 183 PS and 430 Nm of torque. Transmission choices include a six-speed automatic and a shift-by-wire six-speed manual gearbox.

With the 2025 Mitsubishi Triton now available in The Land of Smiles, perhaps we can expect the updated pickup truck to arrive in the Philippines sometime later this year or in 2026.
