Feature Showdown
Both come with modern infotainment systems.
The Mitsubishi Triton counters with Apple CarPlay. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.
Drivetrain
The Tata Xenon uses a 2.2L DICOR producing 110kW and 320Nm of torque, sent through a 5-speed manual to a 4WD layout.
The Mitsubishi Triton responds with a Diesel making 150kW and 470Nm, paired to a automatic driving the rear wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 11.3 seconds.
The Mitsubishi Triton has the clear power advantage at 150kW vs 110kW. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Tata Xenon measures 5,125mm long on a 3,150mm wheelbase, 195mm shorter than the Mitsubishi Triton at 5,320mm (3,130mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Tata Xenon generally means more rear legroom.
For towing, the Mitsubishi Triton leads with a 3,500kg braked capacity vs 2,500kg. That 1,000kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
