MMNZ rewards Diamond Dealers in a year of growth
Mitsubishi Motors New Zealand (MMNZ) increased its sales and market share in 2024. Recently it celebrated the standout performers contributing to those results at its annual Diamond Dealer awards. The ceremony was held at the Sheraton Fiji Golf and Beach Resort on May 19. While the total market fell by 14 per cent last year, MMNZ grew its overall share to 11.7 per cent with 14,156 registrations. That is an almost six per cent increase from the previous calendar year. And it cemented its third-place position. ASX and Outlander models were the second and third most popular passenger vehicles in 2024. Triton the third most popular light commercial vehicle. Eclipse Cross was the fourth Mitsubishi amongst the top ten, in sixth position. MMNZ Chief Operating Officer Tony Johnston commented: 'In a challenging market, it's exceptional value and customer service that will help to get you across the line. 'These are both things that customers associate with our brand and which is why, while the broader market contracted, we continued to build momentum.' That momentum continues into 2025, with MMNZ holding second place in the market with 4116 registrations as of April. 'That's also a testament to the resilience and commitment of our dealers across the country, and the enduring strength of our vehicle range,' said Johnston. 'We never rest on our laurels – as a business or at a dealer level – and the hard work continues across every aspect of sales, parts and service. 'Our annual Diamond Dealer event is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the very best of our high-achieving teams across the country and incentivise next year's winners. 'I'd like to congratulate our 2025 winners and say a big thank you to all of our dealers and their teams for never losing sight of the fact that our success is only ever measured in the satisfaction and loyalty of our customers.' 2025 Diamond Dealer winners and MMNZ Executive Team at the Sheraton Fiji Golf and Beach Resort Bay City Mitsubishi Brendan Foot Mitsubishi Delaney Mitsubishi Mexted Mitsubishi Morrison Mitsubishi Sockburn Piako Mitsubishi Morrinsville WR Phillips Mitsubishi Baigent Motors Cavanagh Motors 2025 Supreme Diamond Dealer: Morrison Mitsubishi Sockburn Mike Morrison First-time Diamond Dealer Morrison Mitsubishi Sockburn stole the headlines at this year's awards.

This year's success means Darrell now has an unsurpassed 17 Diamond Dealer awards to his name. He has also topped the charts for New Vehicle Sales in his group. The success of the dealership is rooted in a rural community with just 11,000 inhabitants, making this an even more remarkable story. Brendan Foot Mitsubishi – Dave Foot After going back-to-back in 2021 and 2022, Brendan Foot Mitsubishi makes a well-deserved return as a Diamond Dealer. Dave Foot and his team return, also taking home Top Market Share for their group.

Acer's ultra-portable Predator Triton 14 AI gaming laptop could be the coolest thing at Computex
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Intel's Core Ultra 200V Lunar Lake chipsets were announced last year for ultrathin and light systems. They are intended for use mostly in AI PCs and the MSI Claw 8 AI+ handheld. These mobile processors weren't expected ever to hit the mainstream gaming laptop market, and Laptop Mag was almost certain you couldn't connect a discrete GPU to the chip. But as they say, life finds a way. Acer has managed to connect a discrete Nvidia RTX 50-series gaming GPU to Intel's Lunar Lake to create the Triton 14 AI ultra-portable gaming laptop. The ultra-slim, ultra-light Triton 14 AI is intended for gaming and content creation, and based on Laptop Mag's recent hands-on demo, it just might be the coolest thing announced for Computex in Taipei next week. But other than an interesting chip combo, what makes the Triton 14 AI so unique? Price: €2,999 starting CPU: Up to Intel Core Ultra 9 288V GPU: Up to Nvidia RTX 5070 Memory: Up to 32GB Storage: Up to 2TB Display: 14.5-inch, 2880 x 1800, 120Hz OLED Battery: TBD Size: 0.68 inches thick Weight: 3.52 pounds The Triton 14 AI is a slim laptop, measuring just 0.68 inches thick. While not the thinnest laptop we've ever seen with a discrete GPU under the hood, it is incredibly slim for a 14-inch laptop. And at just 3.52 pounds, it'll fit in just about any backpack or laptop bag you own, making it super portable. Acer managed to slim down the Triton 14 to just 0.68 inches thanks to a combination of ultra-thin sixth-gen AeroBlade fans, a graphene thermal interface, and a new vapor chamber to keep the Triton slim and cool under pressure. Acer has opted for a fun, steel blue colorway on the Triton 14 AI, which sets it apart from the other black and silver gaming laptops on the market. The Triton 14 AI has an anti-fingerprint coating to keep it looking sleek even after hours of use. Acer has packed a 76Whr battery in the Triton 14 AI. Because Intel's Core Ultra 200V Lunar Lake chips are super power efficient, the Triton should have good battery life when surfing the web or even when gaming. While we expect battery life to take a bit of a hit due to the discrete Nvidia GPU and OLED display panel, the Triton 14 AI could easily last for 8+ hours of web surfing on battery thanks to its ultra-efficient CPU. We have already seen the benefits of an AI PC chip powering a gaming laptop this year, thanks to the Razer Blade 16 (2025). As the Triton 14 AI is a similar combo, just with an Intel CPU instead, it could end up nipping the Asus TUF Gaming A14 off our list as the gaming laptop with the best battery life. Acer has outfitted the Triton 14 AI with a 14.5-inch, 2880 x 1800, 120Hz OLED panel rated for 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut and sporting Calman verification. From what we've seen so far, this display looks great and has the potential to be a great tool for content creators. We saw a similar display on the Acer Swift X 14 (2024) last year. While our lab testing couldn't verify the 100% DCI-P3 rating, the display looked crisp and gorgeous in our hands-on testing. If Acer is using the same display or a similar OLED panel on the Triton 14 AI, it's guaranteed to be a great option for content creators or for gamers who really want an immersive, cinematic gaming experience. Intel's Lunar Lake platform is not the beefiest Intel CPU out there, that would have to go to the Core Ultra 200HX Arrow Lake chipset. However, Lunar Lake is certainly powerful enough to handle web browsing, spreadsheet management, video calls, and some light Photoshop work without breaking a sweat. The Lunar Lake integrated GPU is also pretty good for gaming in 1080p at Medium settings. Combined with a discrete Nvidia RTX 50-series GPU, and it should get even better graphics power for a smoother gaming experience. While we haven't reviewed an RTX 5070 laptop just yet, if it's anything like the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 laptops, it'll have some decent silicon power and all the advantages of Nvidia's new DLSS 4 technology to provide smooth, high framerates in even the most demanding games. Acer will launch the Triton 14 AI in July in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, with a starting price of €2,999. Due to constantly shifting US foreign tariffs, Acer has not yet published pricing or release dates for North America. But, when the Triton 14 AI becomes available in the US, you can bet we'll be angling to get it into our labs and put this Lunar Lake/Nvidia hybrid to the test. Computex showdown: Nvidia & MediaTek tipped to steal Windows-on-Arm spotlight Play 'FBC: Firebreak' first, if your laptop can handle a return to Control's Oldest House What links GTA 6, Cyberpunk 2077, and Baldur's Gate 3?

Seaside town named among UK's most affordable places to live set for huge £6million waterfront revamp
A SEASIDE town named as one of the most affordable places to live in the UK is set to get a brand new £6m waterfront revamp. The beachside project is set to include a two-storey restaurant and cafe area. 6 Lowestoft is home to the popular First Lights Festival, a 24-hour beach arts event, which celebrates the UK's first sunrise Credit: Alamy A new lift will also be installed to improve access to the seafront for beach-goers with mobility issues and pushchairs. It comes as a recent report by property portal Zoopla highlighted Lowestoft, in Suffolk, as one of the most affordable places to live in the UK. Zoopla found that 80% of towns in the south of England now have average prices more than four times household income. 6 An artist's impression of the new seafront cafe and restaurant complex in Lowestoft Wisbech in Cambridgeshire is the only town in the south of England with prices below three times income while Lowestoft, Wisbeth, Great Yarmouth and Peterborough were among the most affordable towns. The £6 million waterfront revamp is expected to make the town even more attractive to homebuyers – though it's been a lengthy process with completion of the project now expected 'later this year' following delays in the tendering process. The delays also mean the project will not be completed in time for the popular First Light Festival in the town, which celebrates the summer solstice in June. The quaint seaside town holds an interesting claim to fame as it's the first place in the UK Most read in The Sun 6 Ness Point in Lowestoft is the most easterly point in the UK Credit: Alamy The beach town is home to Ness Point, the UK's most easterly point. Overlooking the sea, Ness Point is marked by a large metal plate on the ground. Deck chairs are often spotted along the promenade, with visitors travelling throughout the night during the summer solstice to watch the sunrise. The redevelopment of facilities comes after East Suffolk Council was awarded £4.3 million through the Government's Levelling Up Fund in March 2023. A further £600,000 investment from East Suffolk Council's capital programme pushed the total cost of the project to just below £5 million. 6 The seaside town is home to all the usual seaside attractions such as a Victorian-style pavilion and several beaches Credit: Alamy With planning permission granted early last year, the project - which forms the third phase of the Jubilee Parade vision, with the development to complement the Eastern Edge beach huts next to it - started in April last year. It saw the existing 1930s structures on Jubilee Parade demolished, with the promenade extended onto the beach, as Sunrise at Zak's relocated to a temporary building nearby and temporary toilets were installed. This first phase of works was completed last summer. 6 Lowestoft's South Pier and Triton statue are popular with locals and tourists The second phase of the project - involving the construction of the main building - was initially expected to start in June last year, and expected to be completed by Spring 2025. But with delays in the tendering process for the second phase and increased costs - which has seen the total cost of the overall scheme now reach £6 million - work started around three months later in September. This has now pushed the overall timeframe for completion of the second phase back. This week the council said that while "funding for the entire project has been secured," and it "remains scheduled for completion later this year," it will not however be complete by the time the First Light Festival opens in June. The up-and-coming English seaside town with cheap booze and huge beaches A council spokesman said: "The first phase of construction was completed last summer, with some beach huts moved to create space for temporary toilets and cafe to be installed. "The existing structures were demolished, and the promenade extended onto the beach. "After a pause for the summer season, the second phase of construction began in the autumn last year and remains scheduled for completion later this year. "So far, the second phase of work has focused on engineering works to secure the site, including foundations and piling. "These works are progressing well." 6 Attractions in Lowestoft include this seafront train that runs near the Pavilion Credit: Alamy The council said the lift will connect the Upper Esplanade with the Lower Promenade, providing access to the restaurant space and first floor Eastern Edge beach huts. The council spokesman added: "Work on the structure of the building will begin upon completion of the ground works. "The new complex will greatly improve the facilities on offer at this part of the seafront and will also increase seafront access for everyone, and we are looking forward to its completion later this year. "We have seen increased costs however funding is secured for the entire £6m project. Read more on the Irish Sun "In August last year, the council took the decision to reallocate funding from the railway station project to provide further support for key Lowestoft regeneration projects, including Jubilee Parade. "The construction will not be complete by the time of the First Light Festival, but will be completed later in the year."
