Mitsubishi Motors' new generation Triton ute has made its international debut in Thailand.
Presented for the first time in production form, the 2015 Mitsubishi Triton is promised to be more efficient, offer high levels of safety and raise the bar for passenger car-like steering performance, quietness, and ride comfort across the class.
Powered by a new all-aluminium 2.4-litre MIVEC turbo diesel engine with variable geometry turbo and paired to a new 6-speed manual transmission or optional 5-speed automatic, the new generation model retains Triton's working vehicle durability and load-carrying capacity without compromising passenger and drive comfort.

Exterior styling has been updated for the 2015 model, helping the Triton to achieve outstanding aerodynamic performance compared to other models in the ute class. The new design contributes to Triton's fuel efficiency and quiet performance, while retaining traditional Triton styling cues.
Generous interior space has been achieved across all the three available body styles - single cab, double cab and club cab body, while the strategic placement of sound insulation, absorption and vibration damping materials contributes to significantly improved cabin quietness.
Mitsubishi Motors Australia Executive Director of Marketing Tony Principe said the new generation Triton is designed to successfully perform the dual role of work truck and family car.
"The 2015 Triton is part of a new breed of Mitsubishi vehicles that reflect the sizable investment we are making in the development of world-class SUV and light commercial vehicles," he said.
"New Triton makes a significant leap forward in all areas, particularly in terms of passenger comfort, manoeuvrability and efficiency, and still delivers on the toughness, reliability and off-road performance that have made Triton such a success in Australia."
This month's Triton launch marks the start of sales of the new generation model in Thailand where it will be produced for domestic and international markets.

Mitsubishi Triton: Fifth-generation offers a new route for the ute

ON NOVEMBER 2 2015 |   IN  CAR REVIEWS ,  LATEST NEWS  |   BY  ALASTAIR SLOANE  | automotivenews.co.nz I went to Japan in late 2005 to drive the fourth-generation Triton . I expected the usual route for a ute: a beat over mix of good and bad roads and some 4WD work. Instead, Mitsubishi confined the drive to its high-speed banked test circuit. Why? Because it said it wanted to show the double-cab test ute was underpinned by a chassis that showed car-like characteristics. It quickly halted talk about the radically different look with: “Yes, but wait till you drive it.” Anyway, the ute turned out to be pretty well behaved, sweeping up and down the banked circuit at 130-140km/h, lap after lap. But the polarising new design always headed conversation, even after Mitsubishi’s senior Japanese executives said the company forecast huge growth in the ute sector beyond 2005 and wanted a new look to appeal to a new audience.

Hyundai Motor's net profit down 14 percent on strong won

By -
26 Jul, 2018 7:50pm SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Hyundai Motor Co. said Thursday its net profit for the second quarter fell 14 percent over a year earlier due to the South Korean won's strength against the U.S. dollar. South Korea's largest automaker said its April-June net income was 701 billion won ($626 million), compared with 817 billion won a year earlier. It was lower than the analyst consensus of 897 billion won, according to financial data provider FactSet. Sales inched up 2 percent over a year earlier to 24.7 trillion won ($22.1 billion) but operating profit sank 29 percent to 951 billion won ($849 million). Hyundai Motors's profit fell despite it having sold more vehicles. That is because its overseas profit repatriated to South Korea shrank due to the cheaper U.S. dollar. In April-June, car sales rose 11 percent over a year earlier to 1.2 million units. For the first half of this year, sales rose 4.5 percent to 2.2 million units. In the U.S. market,...
