Mitsubishi Triton Savana Arrives In Brazil With Snorkel, Rock Sliders And Bold Colors

Mitsubishi has a new toy for Brazil, and it’s targeted right at those who want a good weekend for themselves made of mud, rocks, and possibly a river crossing or two. Its name is the Triton Savana; it’s a special edition that it hopes will be tougher, and it’s a little more adventure-ready.

The new Triton arrived internationally in 2023 and was soon after on its way to South America. Mitsubishi is adding something more playful to the lineup than that. Savana takes the Katana flagship and puts on a hand-picked mix of off-road bits and visual accessories to take this high-spec Katana iteration to the next level.

Immediately, the exclusive colors establish the mood. Rally Yellow and Forest Green lend the truck the proper “let’s get lost” vibe, and matte graphite accents connect everything without yelling to get attention. It’s tough, but still clean. Besides, the Mitsubishi Triton Savana has rock sliders that double as steps, a roof rack for whatever gear you’re lugging in, and an authentic snorkel (not a fake plastic snorkel for looks).

In turn, the truck’s wading depth, thanks to that, jumps from 500 mm to 800 mm; thus, river crossings become much less stressful. It runs on 18-inch black alloy wheels, which are covered with big, all-terrain chunky tires. The suspension remains the same as it was on the Katana, so you won’t get any surprises on-road or off.

Under the hood, the Mitsubishi Triton Savana is all the same: the 2.4-liter bi-turbo diesel with 202 hp and ~347 lb-ft of torque, an eight-speed auto, and the Super Select II 4WD system with seven modes. No surprise: It’s a solid combo that has already proved itself in the regular Triton. 

As for the interior, future owners will end up with the same plush cabin as the flagship Katana, with all leather with red stitching, a 9-inch touchscreen, a 7-inch display between the gauges, wireless charging, dual-zone climate, seven airbags, and a full suite of driver-assistance features.

There will be only 80 units in Brazil, at a price of R$349,990 (roughly US$65,100). That’s approximately R$11,000 more than the Katana, but given the additional kit and the exclusivity, it feels like a fair gap.
