MOTORING NEWS - Mitsubishi have brought a special edition of their already excellent Triton Double-Cab.
Fully imported, the Athlete boasts increased safety and specification levels, which includes 7 airbags, Isofix child seat anchors and a 3.1 ton towing capacity to tow any lifestyle equipment.
The sporty body styling kit and matching interior seat trimmings as well as the increased safety and specification levels do not come at a premium as this grandiose new derivative is launched at the same retail price of the standard Triton Double-Cab 4×4 automatic.
As one would expect of a special edition model, luxury, comfort, appearance, performance and a host of other features are added to enhance desirability and occupant safety has not been ignored.
No fewer than seven airbags (dual front airbags, side airbags, driver’s knee airbag and curtain airbag) as well as Isofix child seat anchors, side-impact protection bars and a high tensile steel body structure for more effective reinforcement, the Triton Athlete is clearly aimed to top the class.
The benefits created by “versatility and practicality” of the top-of-the-range double-cab bakkies are the biggest motivating factors for lifestyle and adventure buyers who have an active family lifestyle.
“Mitsubishi’s new Triton Athlete caters for the needs of the ‘trendy’ lifestyle segment of the luxury double-cab market,” says Nic Campbell, general manager of Mitsubishi Motors South Africa (MMSA).
Fully imported, the Athlete boasts increased safety and specification levels.
