All five Triton VGT variants have a powerful 2.4-litre MIVEC Turbo diesel DI-D commonrail VGT Intercooler engine with 181ps at 3,500rpm and 430Nm at 2,500rpm.

Transmission is either a six-speed manual or a new six-speed automatic with sport mode.

All Triton VGT variants have safety features such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), brake assist, Active Stability Control (ASC), traction control, brake override system, Hill Start Assist, Trailer Stability Assist, rear parking sensors, and ISOFIX child seat points.

Two airbags, fabric seats, a Easy Select 4WD system and driver's seatbelt reminder are also standard kit except for the top Adventure X variant.

Features that are exclusive to the flagship Adventure X variant include the Super Select 4WD-II system, automatic bi-LED projector headlamps, LED daytime running lights, automatic wipers, Apple Carplay and Android Auto, paddle shifters, leatherette seats, powered driver's seat, Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) with Autonomous Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Lane Change Assist (LCA), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Auto High Beam (AHB), Ultrasonic Mis-acceleration Mitigation System (UMS), front passenger's seatbelt reminder, front parking sensors, and seven airbags.

Mitsubishi Motor's Super-Select 4WD II system, developed with decades of experience in off-road competition such as the Dakar Rally, delivers optimum traction and handling characteristics on all surfaces.

Also, Hill Descent Control automatically applies brakes on downhill terrain, allowing the driver to focus on steering operations.

The new Triton is also billed as having a a best-in-class turning radius of 5.9 metres.

Driver assistance systems include Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) which can detect vehicles and pedestrians ahead; Blind Spot Warning with Lane Change Assist (BSW with LCA), which helps avoid colliding with another vehicle when changing lanes by detecting vehicles behind or at the rear quarter and alerting the driver with an audible alert and flashing light in the left or right door mirrors.

An Ultrasonic Misacceleration Mitigation System (UMS) is now fitted to help reduce accidents resulting from improper use of the accelerator when moving off or reversing in carparks and other confined spaces.

This system sounds a buzzer and displays a warning if front or rear sensors detect a nearby obstacle. Engine output is also automatically controlled if the driver suddenly accelerates during such situation.

Also helping to enhance safety is Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) which helps avoid collisions when reversing by scanning the area on either side.

If a vehicle is detected approaching, the driver will be alerted to take appropriate action.
