120 Series |
Here's a quick comparison between the current Hilux and the latest Mitsubishi Triton L200. Both are 2010 model year variants. We like the Hilux but at this point prefer the Nissan Navara or Frontier due to its more comfy ride but both look conservative compared to the latest Mitsubishi Triton L200. There are many factors in choosing the right car and the latest Triton L200 has lots to commend it. In fact in our opinion has virtually everything you'd expect in a car and since this has been written after the Navara the Triton is our new favorite. Mitsubishi took quite a risk having a single diesel engine for the entire 4x4 Triton line-up from 2010. There are no other engine options - at least for the Australian market. They have plenty of other engine options for a petrol elsewhere in the world and that's probably the reason it is not as popular as the other models from Toyota and Nissan. The new engine is state of the art and on paper produces
as much if not more power and torque than the larger engines in the Hilux or Navara... Peak torque
of 400Nm comes in at 2000 RPM as well so there is tons of low down go and
power up top too! |
Clearly Mitsubishi takes design risks and the Triton L200 is no exception. The design is amazing, exterior wise it looks like a concept car! Overall we like it - modern and looks cool. The key selling point on some models was that the Triton can be used as an AWD or rear wheel drive on normal roads. Not many pickup class vehicles have this capability. Compared to the Hilux the Triton's ride was similarly stiff but I though almost had a sporty edge? Handling was secure and less body roll. Interior noise wise the Triton was probably the same. The interior also felt smaller and the rear passengers sat noticeably higher than then rest. The interior despite the thin seats felt like a nice place to be due to better materials in obvious locations. Additional equipment like the terrain computer impresses. As for its competitors stay tuned for some more
comparisons over the next few months. Our leader board reads
like this: Note that you should always check with your local
dealer for correct and up to date specifications and pricing. |
