Intended for anyone who wants to look stylish without having to modify it with aftermarket accessories, the New Triton Athlete does use the basic Triton Exceed, but for this special version, Mitsubishi added a front bumper garnish, then the black grille was painted complete with Aksesn honeycomb in it, and do not miss the DRL and LED lights as the lighting. Steady again, attached a black orange sticker on the bumper, which shows Mitsubishi's unique Dynamic Shield concept.

Then reinforce the impression of sportiness, over vender, wheels, door handles, mirrors, rear bumper and footstep, wrapped in black. Meanwhile in the tub, sports bar and rear windshield shield, which makes it look full and sturdy. As with the previous Triton generation, the door is designed to be occupied, so even if there are additional spoilers installed, you will still be free to sit on it. It's just that even though the price of the Mitsubishi Strada Triton Athlete is priced more expensive, it doesn't add a tub cover.

Besides the exterior, there are a number of additions to the interior line, such as the seat covers that are added with an athlete-shaped orange emblem, along with detailed stitches on the leather seats, door trim, gear levers, and orange steering wheel.

Engine Performance
No need to doubt, the price of Mitsubishi Triton Athlete can be said to have a pretty good difference from the type exceed, but the engine used is the same, ie in the form of a 2477cc type 4D56 engine in C / RI / CT / C, combined with a bore x stroke of 91, 1 x 95.0mm and 16.5 compression ratio that promises steady power, it is noted that from this machine the new triton athlete can produce maximum power of 178 PS at 4000rpm engine speed.

Then the torque produced is also not playing, which is 4000 nm at the 2000rpm rotation. So make no mistake, even if you have a large and long body size, the acceleration is fast. But you need to know, there are two transmission variants that New Triton Athlete offers, namely 5-speed automatic and 5-speed manual, complete with easy select 4WD, but for the transfer from 2WD to 4WD, you still have to stop first when you replace it.

Suspension and Legs
The ground clearance that New Triton has is the same as the Exceed variant, which is 220mm. Although high, this sporty double cabin car is very sturdy, in addition to being equipped with tires measuring 245/65 front-rear on the 17 inch Ring wheels, the back line is supported by Rigid Axle type suspension, Elliptic Leaf Spring, Telescopic Shock Absorber independent wishbone / coil spring / telescopic shock absorber / torsion bar stabilizer, which is specialized in double cabin cars in general, so as not to be low when the tub is filled with full charge.

Then the front sector uses an independent wishbone/coil spring / telescopic shock absorber/torsion bar stabilizer, which makes it able to provide more comfort to users when maneuvering in various road conditions. The braking side is fairly standard in general, in the form of a ventilated disc for the front, and a drum on the back side. But in order to optimize it, Mitsubishi added ABS & EBD features.

Features and others
Different from other triton types, the athlete version gets an additional smart keyless plus the start & stop engine, so it doesn't need to be complicated, because it only needs to enter the key in a pocket, and start the engine with one push of the button panel on the right side of the steering wheel.
