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

The Mitsubishi Triton VI Double Cab GLS 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 GLS 2.4 variant is positioned as a mid-range offering, combining a capable diesel engine with a four-wheel-drive system and automatic transmission.

Mitsubishi Triton VI Double Cab: An Overview

The Triton, known as the Mitsubishi L200 in some markets, has a long history dating back to 1978. The sixth generation, launched in 2024, represents a significant redesign focusing on enhanced durability, 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 broad range of needs. The GLS trim level adds features focused on comfort and convenience, making it a well-rounded option for buyers seeking a practical and capable pickup truck. The 2.4-liter diesel engine is a key component, offering a blend of power and fuel efficiency.

Engine & Performance

The Mitsubishi Triton VI Double Cab GLS 2.4 is powered by 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. The engine’s power-to-weight ratio is 98.1 Hp/tonne, and the torque-to-weight ratio is 226 Nm/tonne. The engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, which efficiently transfers power to the all-wheel-drive system. The all-wheel-drive system operates with a permanent rear-wheel drive configuration, engaging the front wheels as needed via an electronically or mechanically operated clutch. Fuel economy figures, measured using the WLTC standard, are 11.8 l/100 km (19.9 US mpg) in urban conditions, 7.7 l/100 km (30.5 US mpg) in extra-urban driving, and 8.8 l/100 km (26.7 US mpg) combined. The engine also incorporates a Start & Stop System to further improve fuel efficiency.
