2024 Mitsubishi Triton VI Double Cab GSR 2.4 (204 Hp) 4WD Automatic

The Mitsubishi Triton VI Double Cab GSR 2.4 (204 Hp) 4WD Automatic represents the latest iteration of Mitsubishi’s globally recognized pickup truck. Introduced in February 2024, this model is part of the sixth generation of the Triton, known as the Triton VI. While not traditionally a high-volume seller in the North American market – where Mitsubishi has focused on SUVs and smaller cars – the Triton is a significant player in the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, Latin America, and Africa, competing with vehicles like the Toyota Hilux, Nissan Navara, and Ford Ranger. The Double Cab configuration offers a balance between cargo capacity and passenger comfort, making it suitable for both work and family use. This particular GSR variant emphasizes performance with its 2.4-liter diesel engine and advanced four-wheel-drive system.

Mitsubishi Triton VI Double Cab GSR 2.4: An Overview

The Triton, historically known as the L200 in many international markets, has built a reputation for ruggedness, reliability, and practicality. The sixth generation, and specifically the GSR 2.4 model, aims to enhance these qualities with updated technology, improved safety features, and a more refined driving experience. The Double Cab body style provides seating for five passengers and a versatile cargo bed, catering to a wide range of needs. The GSR trim level typically denotes a higher level of equipment and performance enhancements compared to base models.

Engine & Performance

Powering the Mitsubishi Triton VI Double Cab GSR 2.4 is a 2.4-liter inline-four cylinder diesel engine, designated the 4N16. This engine produces 204 horsepower at 3500 rpm and 470 Nm (346.65 lb.-ft.) of torque between 1500 and 2750 rpm. The engine features a turbocharger with an intercooler, a diesel commonrail fuel injection system, and a double overhead camshaft (DOHC) valvetrain with variable valve timing (VVT). This combination delivers a broad torque curve, providing strong pulling power for towing and hauling, while also offering reasonable fuel efficiency. The engine’s power-to-weight ratio is 10.5 kg/Hp, or 95.3 Hp/tonne, and the torque-to-weight ratio is 4.6 kg/Nm, or 219.6 Nm/tonne. The engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, delivering smooth and efficient gear changes. The drivetrain is a sophisticated four-wheel-drive system, allowing for permanent rear-wheel drive with on-demand engagement of the front wheels via an electrically or mechanically operated clutch. Fuel economy figures, measured using the WLTC standard, are 11.8 l/100 km (19.9 US mpg, 23.9 UK mpg, 8.5 km/l) in urban conditions, 7.7 l/100 km (30.5 US mpg, 36.7 UK mpg, 13 km/l) in extra-urban driving, and 8.8 l/100 km (26.7 US mpg, 32.1 UK mpg, 11.4 km/l) combined.
