Mitsubishi Triton Motors Australia is preparing to significantly expand the Triton lineup during 2025, adding Club Cab and cab-chassis variants to complement the existing dual-cab ute models. The Japanese manufacturer launched the new-generation Triton earlier this year exclusively as a dual-cab configuration, but additional body styles are now confirmed for the Australian market.
According to Mitsubishi Motors Australia representatives, both cab-chassis models and Club Cab ute variants are scheduled to arrive in the latter part of the first half of 2025. This expansion strategy represents a significant broadening of the Triton’s market appeal, targeting commercial operators and buyers seeking more specialized configurations.
Club Cab Configuration Details
The upcoming Club Cab variant will feature a two-door design with extended cabin space behind the front seats, offering more interior room than traditional single-cab configurations while maintaining a more compact footprint than dual-cab models. Government approval documents indicate two distinct Club Cab variants are planned: one equipped with manual transmission and another featuring automatic transmission.
Both Club Cab configurations will utilize Mitsubishi’s proven 150kW turbo-diesel 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine, maintaining the same 3500kg braked towing capacity that has made the dual-cab models popular among commercial users and recreational enthusiasts.
Market Positioning and Competition
The expanded Triton range will compete directly against established rivals offering similar body configurations. The Club Cab will challenge the Ford Ranger Super Cab, Isuzu D-Max Space Cab, Mazda BT-50 Freestyle, Nissan Navara King Cab, and Toyota HiLux Extra Cab in the increasingly competitive mid-size ute segment.
Interim Solutions and Strategic Approach
Mitsubishi’s measured rollout strategy has allowed the company to maintain market presence through continued availability of previous-generation Triton models in cab-chassis configurations. The outgoing generation remains available exclusively in cab-chassis format across GLX base trim levels, offered in single cab, Club Cab, and dual-cab variants.
This strategic approach has enabled Mitsubishi to focus initial new-generation launch efforts on the high-volume dual-cab segment while developing optimized versions of alternative body styles. The company has also confirmed plans for a blacked-out GLX-R variant to further diversify the dual-cab lineup.
