Triton自面市以来先后赢获国内外多项汽车奖。

在马来西亚销售的Triton车款包括3.2公升的4×4自排款式、2.5公升的4×4自排和手排款式以及2.5公升的4×2手排款，Triton的每一个车款都是赢奖款式，而使它成为唯一全系列赢奖的小卡车。

三菱小卡车自2006年推出L200款式开始，即Triton之前的款式，便连续3年赢获Autocar Asean汽车杂志的“年度小卡车奖”，Triton 2.5则于隔年荣获同样奖项，而2008的年度小卡车奖则颁给Triton Lite。

除此之外，它的旗舰款式Triton 3.2也赢获“2008新海峡时报-马来亚银行年度车奖”。

马来西亚三菱汽车的总执行长大野惠三在新车推介仪式上对报界说：“对我们来说，Triton的表现是马来西亚三菱汽车的最大成就。自2006年推介以来，Triton的销量大幅度增长，而成为本国当前第二畅销的小卡车。这款原本已赢奖无数的小卡车，改款后所呈现的更雄浑外型和进一步升级的功能，必令它成为更受欢迎的车款。

在价格方面，Triton Lite 是由RM61,458.80起、Triton 2.5 M/T（手排）RM87,051.80、Triton 2.5 A/T（自排）RM91,921.80，而Triton 3.2是RM99,143.50。Triton 2.5的价格只限于推介期间。

所有Triton车款都是整装进口，厂家提公3年或100,000公里保用优惠，视何者为先。

美观大方的风格

三菱汽车的工程师虽然在改款的过程中对车子的多个部份作出改进，但是，他们却尽量维持Triton的独特外观，以期毫无争议地在同级车市场上成为领导群伦的车款。不论是讲究设计风格或从事小生意的用户，新添的特点都能迎合每一个人的需求。

Triton当初面试的时候，为市场带来全新的气息，它也证明坚韧的小卡车不一定要像其它竞争牌子般所坚持的传统作业车设计。改款后的Triton保留其独一无二的特徴，惟车头呈现了新的设计，令它看起来更雄X及显眼。

防撞杆已重新修饰，边角呈现容纳雾灯的设计；冷却水箱的格栅则换上具有运动感的蜂巢设计。前防撞杆底下的饰板现改喷银漆，以配合车子的新外观。至於价格相宜的Triton Lite则拥有漆色前防撞杆、双辐条式水箱格栅和新型状的车头灯，以显现更高级的外观。

Triton的轮拱现已喷上跟车身相同的颜色，而属旗舰款的3.2公升款式还额外安装设计独特的侧边踏板和充满运动感的17寸铝合金轮辋。Triton 2.5的16寸铝合金轮辋则换上新的设计。

功能进一步提升

Triton的独特外型设计除了展现美感，也营造比同级车子更宽敝的内厢空间。改款的后斗已加长，以增加载物空间，不论是作业或休闲之用都很理想。

车子的全长增加220mm至5,295mm，其中后斗的载物盘增加了180mm。此外，载物盘的高度也增加55mm，使拥有1,505mm X 460mm面积之载物盘的长度和深度大增。

美观的内厢

Triton宽敝和舒适的内厢以及充满运动感和轿车般的仪表板设计备受车评界和顾客的赞赏，小改后的车款也尽力强化这方面的优点。

四轮驱动款式的驾驶舱装上设计美观的两级式中央仪表台，内有新添的RV表。RV表是Triton独有的装备，以显示各种行车资讯，如尚存燃料可行里数、平均速度、耗燃率、数码式指南针、气压计、高度表和车外气温等。Triton 3.2的气温调节钮键现以改为黑色，看起来更加高尚雅致。

增添的其它新项目包括高品级的座椅垫布和前座位之间的靠手，以提高舒适水平。

坚韧又强劲

在市区环境使用，Triton固然显现其精致和文明的一面，但是，它也不失作为一部小卡车所具备的强韧特性，这有托於三菱汽车继承自达咯尔越野赛中无以伦比的致胜强点。梯形的底盘架构和三菱的RISE（强化抗撞安全进化概念）车身为Triton营造了应付越野环境的超凡强韧性能和卓越的公路操驶特性。

Triton的旗舰款是由3.2公升排量的引擎驱动，这台引擎可产生160匹马力的最高输出功率，而最强扭力可达343牛顿米；至於2.5公升的引擎，则可产生136匹马力的最高功率和最强314顿米的扭力。两者都是双缸顶凸轮轴（DOHC）、16阀、柴油直接喷注共轨涡轮增压引擎，并具备进气冷却器（intercooler）。

引擎的动力是通过三菱的Easy Select 4WD传动系统输送至车轮，而且司机可在每小时不超过100公里的速度下，在两轮驱动（2WD）和四轮驱动（4WD）模式之间进行切换。Triton 2.5也有手排变速款供选择。

Triton Lite的动力来自经济省油、经久耐用及可靠的2.5公升排量单缸顶凸轮轴（SOHC）、8阀柴油引擎，而传动系统是手排变速及两轮驱动（2WD）模式。

安全

Triton拥有Rise车体结构（Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution），经过加强的底盘结构能够承受撞击力，先进的车架提供卓越的扭曲和弯曲承受力，加强安全和保护功能。

Triton 3.2和Triton 2.5更备有前座安全带之预缩装置（Pre-tensioner）及束力控制装置（Force-limiter）及双安全防撞气囊，给予驾驶者和乘员最大的安全防护，动力驾驶盘和ABS（Anti-lock Braking System）结合EBD（Electronic Brake-force Distribution），确保煞车、紧急转弯及其他行车状况的安全。

马来西亚三菱汽车在全国拥有33间展销中心，其中6间为3S中心，此外，它也拥有46间维修服务中心。请游览www.mitsubishi-motors.com.my，以查阅详细资讯。

三菱汽车在赛车运动方面拥有悠久的历史，在赢获2007年达咯尔越野赛冠军后，创下连续7年夺冠的纪录。

Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia yesterday launched the facelifted Lancer 2.0 GT sedan and enhanced Grandis 2.4 MPV.

New on the revised Lancer is a fresh front featuring a reprofiled bumper and a bolder front grille with a chrome outline for Mitsubishi’s signature “jet-fighter” grille, reminiscent of the style of the iconic Lancer Evolution.

The car continues to work with the GEMA 4B11 2.0l 16-valve twin-cam block, with no change to the output of 153bhp of power and 199Nm of torque, or any revisions to the INVECS-III CVT tranny.

The interior continues pretty much like before too, with automatic climate control, a 6-speaker CD/MP3 sound system with steering wheel controls and a multi-information display being part of the inventory list.

There’s a new shade though, solid white, and this joins Black Mica and Red Metallic as the three available colours for the 2.0 GT.

Meanwhile, the Grandis receives a refreshened exterior and more equipment in the interior.

The vehicle gets a new body kit comprising extensions on the front and rear bumpers as well as side skirts that match the 17-inch alloy wheels perfectly. Door visors on all four doors complete the exterior changes.

Inside, all seven seats and door inserts are now trimmed with black combination leather for a plush feel, while the steering wheel and gear knob are now wrapped in black leather. Stylish scuff plates add a touch of class to the cabin.

Priced at RM 160,401.10 (on-the-road without insurance) in Sarawak and RM160,220.00 in Sabah, the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport will be available at all showrooms in East Malaysia today onwards.

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Arrives in East Malaysia

Pajero Sport has garnered immense response since global debut in Moscow last year. Over 9,000 units of Pajero Sport have been sold worldwide since last September. Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia aims to sell 500 units of the fully imported Pajero Sport nationwide by the end of this year.

Using a Common Rail direct injection system for higher power and improved fuel efficiency, the Pajero Sport comes with a 2.5-liter diesel engine which delivers an impressive 136PS output at 3,500rpm and top-class torque of 314Nm at 2,000rpm.

“Mitsubishi Motors has been at the forefront of developing the world’s most pioneering 4×4 technologies for over 70 years. The Pajero was launched in 1982 and even today the 4th generation Pajero continues to be the benchmark of 4×4 technology and refinement.

“As Sabah and Sarawak are known for its rugged terrain, the new Pajero Sport is just the right 7-seater SUV for those who are looking for off-road driving with heavy duty usage in luxury and comfort. With the proven track record of the legendary Pajero, the new Pajero Sport is indeed one of the best SUVs the market has to offer,” said Mr. Keizo Ono, Chief Executive Officer of Mitsubishi Motor Malaysia.

“The Pajero Sport offers the best of both worlds – whether highway cruising or off-road adventure. With on-demand 4WD for sure traction, a rigid ladder frame for improved stability, and durable suspensions for maximum balance, the new Pajero Sport delivers quality performance, reliability and safety,” added Mr Ono.

The Pajero Sport offers ample passenger space and comfort, with plenty of cargo space and multiple storage compartments

The Pajero Sport’s 3-row, 7-passenger, seating configuration can be varied to accommodate various cargo scenarios. Leather seats and DVD audio visual system with USB connectivity, iPod and Bluetooth ready come standard on the Pajero Sport.

Also used in the legendary Pajero, the Super Select 4WD (SS4) driveline that incorporates the principles of Mitsubishi Motors’ All Wheel Control (AWC) philosophy transmits drive torque effectively to all four wheels on all types of surface. With the SS4, switching between 4WD and 2WD when cruising is made possible.

The Pajero Sport will also have an INVECS-II (Intelligent & Innovative Vehicle Electric Control System) 4-speed automatic transmission with Sport mode which allows the driver to manually select the preferred gear for sportier driving experience.

The riding comfort is made possible by its double-wishbone front suspension with coil springs combined with a 3-link coil spring rear suspension, both with stabilizer bars, giving unmatched traction and stability with a higher ground clearance for going off-road.

A power assisted rack and pinion steering system provides good road feel, better response and a class leading turning radius of only 5.6 meters.

Pajero Sport’s safety features include front and reverse sensors, projector headlamps and fog lamps, high mount stop lamps, ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) with EBD (Electronic Brake-Force Distribution), dual SRS airbags, Mitsubishi’s exclusive RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) body, pre-tensioner and force limiter seatbelts, collapsible steering column and safety brake pedal.

The Pajero Sport will be available at all Mitsubishi Motors showrooms in East Malaysia from 10 July onwards. Colours available are Eisen Gray Mica, White Pearl, Cool Silver Metallic, Dark Blue Mica and Platinum Beige Metallic.

In total, Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia has a total of 34 showrooms nationwide, out of which eight are 3S Centres and 46 service centers.

In its commitment to quality and reliability, Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia offers a 3-year or 100,000km warranty for the new Pajero Sport.

“This latest 3S centre will enable customers to see and experience the complete range of all Mitsubishi vehicles on one site in complete comfort. Together with Jimisar Autotrade, we look forward to high level of sales and after sales service for our customers in this region,” said Mr Keizo Ono, Chief Executive Office of Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia.

“The Mitsubishi Motors brand is in an excellent position to continue its positive growth thanks to its reliability, high quality and value for money factor; and therefore we are confident of the vast market potential of Mitsubishi Motors cars in Sarawak,” said Dato’ Ismail Salleh.

As part of its disabled-friendly commitment towards OKU (Orang Kurang Upaya) employment, Jimisar Autotrade has employed two disabled persons to work at the new 3S centre. Exclusive facilities at the new 3S centre are also designed for the disabled.
