Matte black covers adorn the rear lights, and a standard tow bar enhances utility, with a matching nudge bar as an optional addition.

It sits on Dunlop A/T 265/60R18 all-terrain tires on black alloy wheels.
Under the hood, the Triton Shogun keeps Mitsubishi’s 2,4-litre DOHC MIVEC diesel engine, producing 133 kW at 3 500 r/min and 430 Nm at 2 500 r/min, driving through a six-speed automatic transmission equipped with Intelligent Shift Control.
“This combination ensures a driving experience and power delivery that it is just right and always in the sweet spot, ensuring effortless performance as a daily driver, workhorse or overlanding companion, along with frugal fuel consumption,” says Allison.
The Triton Shogun’s interior also steps up with a Sony car audio system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
As part of the Triton lineup, the Shogun edition comes with Mitsubishi’s standard warranty of three years or 100 000 km, a 5-year/90 000 km service plan, and 5year/unlimited mileage roadside assistance, with service intervals every 10 000 km.
