Mitsubishi introduces tougher Triton Savana pickup in Brazil

Mitsubishi has unveiled a tougher version of its popular Triton pickup, built to take on the most demanding trails. Called the Triton Savana, the limited-edition model was launched in Brazil and comes with upgraded off-road gear and stronger features designed for rough terrain.

Based on the sixth-generation Triton Katana trim, the Savana uses a twin-turbo diesel engine and has a payload capacity of up to 1100 kg.. To make it more capable off-road, Mitsubishi fitted it with new accessories, including a factory snorkel and a raised rear differential breather. These upgrades allow the truck to wade through water as deep as 31.5 inches,  around 30% more than the regular version.

The Savana also gets front and rear skid plates, rock sliders, and an anti-scratch X-Liner coating for added protection. It comes with a roof rack, recovery board, shovel, tow hitch, and rear strap for hauling cargo or other vehicles. The truck rides on 18-inch pinwheel-style wheels wrapped in Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac RT tires for better grip on rocky or muddy terrain.

Under the hood, the Triton Savana carries the same 2.4-liter twin-turbo diesel engine used in the standard Triton lineup, producing around 201 horsepower and 470 Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission paired with Mitsubishi’s Super Select 4WD-II system, allowing drivers to switch between 2H, 4H, and 4L modes depending on road conditions. The suspension setup remains double wishbone at the front and leaf spring at the rear, helping balance comfort and load-carrying capability.

Mitsubishi will build only 80 units of the Triton Savana, priced at around $65,000 (roughly P3.8 million). Unfortunately, this model is exclusive to the Brazilian market, meaning Filipino fans won’t see it in local showrooms.

Even so, the Triton Savana hints at what Mitsubishi could bring to future global models. The brand has recently been teasing more rugged designs and off-road concepts, showing that it still knows how to make trucks built for adventure.

For now, Filipino buyers can still check out the local lineup of Mitsubishi vehicles available on AutoDeal.com.ph
