2024 Mitsubishi Triton: Next-generation ute spied in odd disguise

A prototype 2024 Mitsubishi Triton has been caught undergoing testing in Sweden.

The new-generation Triton was snapped during cold-weather testing in the Arctic Circle by our spy photography partners, who spotted the Mitsubishi wearing an unconventional disguise.

While it’s not unusual for manufacturers to drape the body of the current model over the top of test vehicles to hide them in plain sight – as Toyota did with the 300 Series – Mitsubishi has strangely decided to mount older Mirage headlights to the front bumper of the Triton body.

Little is known about the next-gen ute at this stage, but the prototype here appears to have a slightly longer wheelbase and wider track than the current model.

A Euro pallet and a wire cage in the tub may be there to help test light loads in low-traction environments.

Thanks to the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, it’s expected the Triton and the Nissan Navara will share the same platform, with each brand assigned the development of certain models, but to be used by all three companies.

There’s no official word yet on when the 2024 Mitsubishi Triton will be revealed, but timing indicates we could see its unveiling either late this year or early 2023, with a local launch possible for the second half of next year.
