Mitsubishi Triton Quest - Full details
Mitsubishi Motors has seen more promising times. The company took a big hit over two decades ago as part of the aftermath of Japan's bubble economy and the '97 Asian Financial Crisis more than other carmakers. Iconically popular models like Lancer are gone and so is the company's Ralliart world rallying program.
Another model that got the axe was the ever so reliable Mitsubishi Galant. With the popularity of the utility vehicle segment on an all-time high, the Japanese carmaker is trying to recoup its market share by focusing on its SUVs and 4x4 vehicles. In this segment, Mitsubishi has even managed to supersede the likes of ever so formidable Toyota.
For that matter, it was the company's 4X4 vehicle portfolio that encouraged the Renault Nissan Alliance to legitimize its support for Mitsubishi motors. Even Nissan with its extravagant spending potential could not keep up with Mitsubishi and its innovations.
Truth be told, in certain sectors, Mitsubishi Triton is the crowd favourite as opposed to the Toyota Hilux. As for Malaysian markets, Mitsubishi Triton has a long way to go before it can take on the likes of Hilux.
This is why during the conception of the latest generation Triton, Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia took special care to offer customers the best ever model to have ever donned this nameplate. The Malaysian-spec Triton know gets equipment, tech, and features similar to those offered in larger markets like Thailand. So, in the following article, we will present all relevant details about the tri- diamond brand’s incredibly capable utility vehicle.

Exterior
The aesthetics of the 2019 Triton Quest are to a great extent similar to its models positioned towards the top of the range of the truck's lineup. The outgoing model embodies Mitsubishi’s latest design language and features sharp angles,
prominent creases and sculpted body panels. The more inexpensive variants are shorter than the premium models. This is so that the trucks offer more utility by making it easy to load and unload cargo in the flatbed.
The front is dominated by chrome accents, a large air dam and diffuser. We also find LED daytime running lights and chrome accents which can also be seen on the side- view mirrors. Mitsubishi Triton Quest also comes equipped with large fog lamp clusters as standard across its variant lineup. On the sides we can also find chrome accents on door handles and Triton Quest rides on 185- inch alloy wheels.
The 2019 Mitsubishi Triton Quest is offered in four different color schemes which include Jet Black Mica, Graphite Grey Matalic, Diamond White and Sterling Silver.
Interior
The designers definitely took a utilitarian approach while designing the cabin of 2019 Triton Quest. There are more modern and attractive interior spaces in the segment but Triton gets the job done.
The resolution of the touchscreen infotainment system is low but it manages to recoup some brownie points by equipping the entertainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The cabin now also flaunts attractive materials that have been used tastefully.
For instance, Triton Quest now comes equipped with a leather steering wheel which has been lifted out of the premium outlander SUV. The leather treatment can also be found on the door panels and around the center console stack. The all-new Triton also gets roof-mounted A/C vents. Triton Quest’s J- Line cabin design also features very comfortable and spacious seats that can be flipped over to access a small storage compartment.
