Special new ute arrives in Australia: 2025 Mitsubishi Triton GSR special edition announced to take on the Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain, Ford Ranger Wildtrak and Toyota HiLux

Mitsubishi is adding some variety to its Triton line-up.

The Japanese brand has announced a new Triton GSR special edition, which brings some cosmetic and tech advancements.

It is priced from $63,140 (before on-road costs), which is slightly cheaper than the existing GSR.

Mitsubishi Australia’s head of product, Bruce Hampel, said the new special edition was based on feedback from dealers and customers.

“We saw an opportunity to enhance customer choice for the Triton GSR, with a more rugged appearance. The GSR Special Edition combines the GSR’s impressive specification with a distinctively-themed exterior package that further broadens its appeal,” said Hampel.

It has a graphite grey grille with embossed Mitsubishi lettering.

Mitsubishi has installed a black sports bar and the regular GSR’s fender flares have been removed, which the brand said opens up the GSR to be fitted with more accessories.

The special edition also has the brand’s improved safety tech that allows for adaptive cruise control to be engaged up until the vehicle comes to a complete stop rather than shutting off at 25km/h or lower.

The Triton GSR special edition, and all Mitsubishis are covered with the brand’s conditional 10 year/200,000km warranty. Owners must service their vehicle at a dealership every time to maintain the long warranty, otherwise it reverts to five years/100,000km.

Mitsubishi has a 10-year capped-priced servicing program.

The Mitsubishi Triton is one of the most popular utes on sale in Australia with close to 15,000 units being sold in 2024.

A new version arrived early in 2024 and brought it up to speed with the rest of the class with a braked towing capacity of 3500kg. The previous version tapped out at 3000kg.

It is powered by a 2.4-litre twin-turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine that makes 150kW and 470Nm, paired with a six-speed automatic and four-wheel drive.

There is a strong chance the Triton could use plug-in hybrid power in the near future to boost performance and reduce fuel use. Its alliance partner, Nissan, has confirmed it will use Mitsubishi’s plug-in hybrid power in its next-gen Navara ute due in 2026.

A hardcore Ralliart off-road version has also been mooted by the brand, which would give it a genuine rival to the class leading Ford Ranger Raptor.
