Mitsubishi has previewed its “most adventurous utility ever”, the upcoming Triton Raider. 

Inspired by rally raid competition vehicles and engineered in Australia, the Raider has been tested in some of the country’s harshest terrain. Its final pre-launch trials took it through the rugged Flinders Ranges, including intense sandstorms in Arkaroola, demonstrating the ute’s off-road capability.

Mitsubishi has not revealed any technical specifications, features, or pricing for the Triton Raider yet, but more information is expected as the model’s 2026 debut approaches. For now, the Raider offers a glimpse of Mitsubishi’s focus on adventure and Australian-engineered performance.

Earlier this year, Mitsubishi also announced two new Triton Special Editions, aimed at simplifying what can often be a complicated accessories list. The GLX-R Special Edition targets tradies and fleet buyers with a “Tradie Accessory Pack” that includes a tow bar, bed liner, side steps, and weather shields – while removing the sports bar to better suit canopy fitment. 

The GSR Special Edition caters to lifestyle and touring buyers with a “Touring Accessory Pack” designed to deliver an adventure-ready dual-cab ute straight from the showroom. Priced from $58,490 for the GLX-R and $66,140 for the GSR, these variants offer factory-backed, pre-configured options that balance convenience, value, and real-world usability.

The 2026 Nissan Navara – a Triton twin – arrived in Australian showrooms earlier this week. Built on the same platform but tuned locally by Premcar, the Navara is offered in four 4×4 double-cab grades – SL, ST, ST‑X, and PRO‑4X – with suspension, 4WD systems, and off-road geometry specifically calibrated for Australian conditions. Pricing for the MY26 Navara starts at $53,348.
