Next-Gen Mitsubishi Triton
The next-gen Mitsubishi Triton is making waves in the bakkie segment, officially recognised as a finalist for the prestigious 2025 South African Car of the Year (COTY) award.
Competing in both the 4×4 and bakkie categories, as well as for the overall title, the Triton stands out for its rugged design, advanced technology, and impressive versatility.

Mitsubishi Putting Resources Into Social Programmes
Posted by Group1 Mitsubishi on 15 Feb 2023 under General
A big corporate like Mitsubishi not only trade globally, it is also part of every society in which it does business. The social health of each such community will contribute to a good business environment, so it makes financial sense to invest in these societies. But corporate responsibility goes beyond money, and through the years Mitsubishi has built up a solid reputation for getting involved and building the communities they serve.
Major Facelift For The 2023 Mitsubishi Xpander Cross
Posted by Group1 Mitsubishi on 16 Jan 2023 under Mitsubishi Xpander
The Mitsubishi Xpander is well-known and well-loved in South Africa – a versatile 7-seater people carrier that looks and acts like an SUV. It gives you the ability to carry a lot of people, or a lot of stuff, or some people and some stuff, even people sitting next to each other with long cargo next to them.
The Xpander Cross, which hasn’t made it to South Africa, was launched three years ago with the basic Xpander we know, but with even more SUV cred.

MPV Battle: Mitsubishi Xpander vs Toyota Avanza
The MPV segment doesn’t always get the attention it deserves but the seven-seater segment is more competitive than you may think. This brings us to the Mitsubishi Xpander and how it might compare to the Toyota Avanza since both are among the more popular people carriers.
So, if you’re looking for a family car that can seat seven people in relative comfort with space to boot, here’s a closer look at some of the features, driveability and performance of the Mitsubishi Xpander with some comparisons to the Toyota Avanza.
Which One To Choose? The Mitsubishi Pajero 4×2 Or 4×4?
Posted by Group1 Mitsubishi on 11 Oct 2022 under Mitsubishi Pajero
Which One Is For You – Mitsubishi Pajero 4×2 Or The 4×4?
We all love the Mitsubishi Pajero with its seven leather seats and large wheels, its space and luxury features, all bought together by its rugged good looks.
The thing is you have a choice of two 4×2 and three 4×4 models, so which one is for you? They all have the excellent 2.4L DI-DC 8-speed A/T 4X2 engine that gives you 133kW at 3500rpm and 430Nm at 2500rpm, the same smooth 8-speed automatic transmission and so on.

Comparing The Mitsubishi Triton, Toyota Hilux And Isuzu D-Max

Which 4×4 Double Cab – Triton, Hilux Or D-Max?
My grandfather once refused to buy a specific bakkie because the tail lights wrapped around the corners of the load bed, and these would have been knocked out within a week on his farm.
But the days of choosing a bakkie because you are a farmer or a builder are long gone unless you are a farmer or builder.
Thing is, most of us buy bakkies because they represent the lifestyle we want. Your top-range double cab 4×4 offerings today will give you more luxury and safety than a grand sedan ten or twenty years ago, as well as a load bed and major off-road capability.
