The Triton GSR Special Edition is Mitsubishi’s clever play to lure Aussie buyers with flagship features at a slight discount. For India, it’s a tantalizing "what if" – a premium pickup that blends workhorse grit with urban style. Unless Mitsubishi considers local assembly, though, it’ll remain a distant dream for Indian ute lovers.

In Australia, pickup trucks (or “utes”) dominate roads, farms, and worksites. Their versatility makes them essential for both tough jobs and weekend getaways. Mitsubishi’s Triton has been a key player in this segment for years, known for durability and value. Now, the brand has launched the 2025 Triton GSR Special Edition – a slightly cheaper version of its top model, packed with style and tech upgrades.

Triton’s Legacy

The Mitsubishi Triton is a trusted name in Australia’s ute market. Over decades, it has evolved from a basic work vehicle to a premium option, competing with rivals like the Toyota Hilux. The GSR trim, introduced earlier, added luxury features like leather seats and advanced tech.

The 2025 Triton GSR Special Edition retains the flagship’s core strengths but costs $700 AUD less than the regular GSR. Here’s what’s new:

Design Updates

Removed fender flares: Cleaner, simpler look.

Black sports bar: Replaces the sailplane for a tougher appearance.

Graphite Grey grille: Features embossed Mitsubishi branding. ** Leather seats with orange stitching:** Sporty, premium feel.

Power-adjustable driver’s seat: Comfort on long drives.

Roof rails and dual-zone AC: Practical for work and family trips.

Improved Technology

Adaptive cruise control: Now works in stop-and-go traffic (previously stopped at 25km/h).

Same 9.0-inch touchscreen and surround-view camera: Easy navigation and parking.

Unchanged Performance

2.4L twin-turbo diesel engine: 150kW power and 470Nm torque.

6-speed automatic transmission and 4WD: Reliable for towing and off-roading.
