The rear profile also received an upgrade in the form of new T-shaped tail lights and a subtle spoiler for better aerodynamics. Two new exterior colours added to the palette are – Yamabuki Orange Metallic and Blade Silver Metallic.
The interior is where Mitsubishi really changed a lot of things, the brand focused on improving shoulder and knee room.

The driver gets a 7-inch multi-informational display while at the center is a 9-inch infotainment screen that has a 360-degree camera function, smartphone connectivity, and also the Mitsubishi Connected Services which allows owners to control the vehicle from the smartphone.
The new ladder frame platform of the Triton is built with 60 percent higher torsional rigidity and 40 percent higher bending rigidity. Upfront it uses a double wishbone independent suspension system, while the rear has leaf springs and thicker shock absorbers, It still retains drum brakes for the front and rear but the steering system is now electric.
