Just two weeks after its South African launch, the Next-Generation Mitsubishi Triton has claimed the coveted Bakkie of the Year title at the prestigious TopGear South Africa Awards 2024, powered by WesBank. This remarkable achievement underscores Triton’s immediate impact in one of the world’s most competitive bakkie markets.
Why The Judges Were Impressed
The TopGear Awards recognise vehicles defining excellence across innovation, performance and value. Judges praised the Triton for its compelling blend of unique styling, a spacious and practical interior and exceptional off-road capability. Crucially, they highlighted its outstanding value-for-money proposition as the decisive factor.
