ANCAP noted the Triton demonstrated high levels of protection for occupants in crash tests, a broad fitment of airbags and advanced active safety systems as key standard equipment that supported the five-star rating

The Triton scored 86% for Adult Occupant Protection, 89% for Child Occupant Protection, 73% for Vulnerable Road User Protection and 70% for Safety Assist
