If you’ve been waiting for more variety in the Mitsubishi Triton lineup, good news is coming your way. The Japanese automaker has confirmed plans to broaden the Triton range significantly during 2025, adding body styles that many tradies and commercial buyers have been asking for.
What’s Currently Available vs. What’s Coming
Right now, if you walk into a Mitsubishi dealership looking for a new Triton, you’ll only find dual-cab ute models. That’s been the case since the new generation launched earlier this year. But this limited selection is about to change in a big way.
Mitsubishi Australia has confirmed that both Club Cab ute models and cab-chassis variants are heading our way in late first half of 2025. This expansion will give buyers much more flexibility depending on their specific needs.
Club Cab Models – Perfect Middle Ground
What Makes Club Cab Different
The Club Cab sits between a single-cab and dual-cab ute. You get two doors but with significantly more space behind the front seats compared to a basic single-cab setup. This makes it ideal for people who occasionally need to carry passengers but don’t require the full rear seating of a dual-cab.
Competition in the Club Cab Space
When the Triton Club Cab arrives, it won’t be alone in this segment. Here’s what it’ll be competing against:
| Brand | Club Cab Model Name |
|---|---|
| Ford Ranger | Super Cab |
| Isuzu D-Max | Space Cab |
| Mazda BT-50 | Freestyle |
| Nissan Navara | King Cab |
| Toyota HiLux | Extra Cab |
Government approval documents reveal Mitsubishi plans both manual and automatic transmission options for the Club Cab. Like the existing dual-cab models, these will pack the same 150kW turbo-diesel 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine and maintain the impressive 3,500kg braked towing capacity.
Cab-Chassis Models for Commercial Users
Why Cab-Chassis Matters
Cab-chassis models are essential for many commercial operations. Without a tray or tub, these vehicles offer maximum flexibility for fitting custom equipment, toolboxes, or specialized work setups. Think trades people, delivery services, or anyone needing a specific rear configuration.
Bridging the Gap
Interestingly, while new Triton buyers wait for cab-chassis models, Mitsubishi has kept the previous-generation model available exclusively in cab-chassis form. You can still get the older Triton in base GLX trim as single cab, Club Cab, or dual-cab chassis configurations.
Strategic Timing and Focus
Why the Delay?
Mitsubishi’s decision to launch dual-cab models first wasn’t random. The company wanted to establish the new Triton in the most popular segment before expanding to more specialized variants. This approach let them focus resources on getting the mainstream models right.
The continued availability of previous-generation cab-chassis models also meant there wasn’t an urgent gap in their commercial vehicle lineup.
Additional Range Expansion
GLX-R Model Coming
Beyond the new body styles, Mitsubishi is also planning a blacked-out GLX-R model for the dual-cab range. This suggests the company is serious about covering more market segments and buyer preferences.
Market Context
The timing makes sense when you look at the broader ute market. Every major player offers cab-chassis options – Ford Ranger, GWM Cannon, Isuzu D-Max, Mazda BT-50, Nissan Navara, and Toyota HiLux all have these variants available.
What This Means for Buyers
More Choice Coming Soon
If you’re in the market for a Triton but the current dual-cab-only range doesn’t suit your needs, it’s worth waiting until the second quarter of 2025. The expanded lineup should offer something for most commercial and personal use cases.
Pricing and Specifications
While Mitsubishi previously announced pricing for a GLX+ 4×4 Club Cab earlier this year, current specifications and final pricing for all new variants will likely be confirmed closer to launch.
Industry Impact
The Triton’s range expansion reflects how competitive the Australian ute market has become. Manufacturers can’t afford to leave gaps in their lineups, especially in commercial segments where specific body configurations can make or break a sale.
For buyers, this competition translates to more options and better value across the board. The Triton’s expansion will likely pressure other manufacturers to ensure their own ranges remain comprehensive and competitive.
Mitsubishi’s commitment to expanding the Triton range shows they’re serious about capturing more market share in Australia’s ute-obsessed landscape. Whether you need a Club Cab for occasional passengers or a cab-chassis for commercial work, relief is coming in 2025.
