The petrol version is a 2.4-litre four-cylinder motor doesn’t have a turbocharger, and it produces 94kW (at 5250rpm) and 194Nm (at 4000rpm). There’s a five-speed manual gearbox, and it’s rear-wheel drive only.

There’s also a 2.4-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine producing 133kW of power (at 3500rpm) and 430Nm of torque (at 2500rpm). There’s the choice of a six-speed manual transmission or a new six-speed automatic (up from the existing five-speed auto), and that’s whether you choose the 4x2 or 4x4 model.

Standard on GLX is a trip computer, cruise control, power steering, air conditioner, halogen headlights and daytime running lights, a 6.1-inch touch screen media system with Bluetooth phone and audio streaming (two speakers for the sound system in the single cab, four in the extra cab, and four in the dual cab), AM/FM radio and USB connectivity. GLX models roll on 16-inch steel wheels.

There are some models in the GLX range that see Mitsubishi’s ADAS (Advanced Driver Assist System) added - they are the 4WD Club Cab auto cab chassis, double cab manual (2WD), double cab auto pick-up (4WD), and double cab auto cab-chassis. 

The ADAS pack consists of forward collision mitigation (collision alert and auto emergency braking, or AEB), lane departure warning, auto headlights and auto wipers. That’s in addition to a reversing camera and rear parking sensors, stability control and seven airbags on all models.
