launches flashy double cab bakkie in South Africa"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Mitsubishi is offering a special edition Triton Athlete double cab bakkie in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>The sporty new Triton Athlete is assembled in Mitsubishi\u2019s Thailand factory and shares the underpinnings of the top-of-the-range Triton double-cab 4&#215;4 automatic derivative.<\/p>\n<p>The Triton Athlete makes use of the 2.4-litre turbodiesel engine with 133 kW and 430 Nm of torque.<\/p>\n<p>It will be priced at R559,995 &#8211; the same price as the range-topping Triton Double Cab 4&#215;4 Automatic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The new lifestyle-orientated Triton Athlete does not only look sportier and more athletic than its double-cab siblings, but also offers an upgraded towing capacity of 3.1 tons to tow any lifestyle equipment, as well as increased safety features such as 7 airbags and Isofix child seat anchors for increased passenger and child safety,&#8221; Mitsubishi said.<\/p>\n<p><a
