The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport has a reputation for bulletproof reliability and sure-footed 4×4 capability when tar turns to sand. The new Pajero Sport arrived on local soil last year and Mitsubishi has now improved the specification, towing mass and included a handy 120W Power Plug to charge devices on the go.
On the safety front, the Pajero Sport now gains an additional driver’s knee airbag, bringing the total airbag count to 7 while also now including Isofix child seat anchors as part of the standard specification.
The Pajero Sport is a formidable 7-seat offroader that competes with the Toyota Fortuner, Ford Everest, Isuzu mu-X and the Haval H9.
In addition to the improved safety specification, the Pajero Sport 4×2 now has a maximum towing mass of 2 700 kg while the 4×4 derivative is now able to tow a total mass of 2 790 kg.
The Pajero Sport is powered by a 2.5-litre turbodiesel engine with 133 kW and 430 Nm of torque and is mated with a 8-speed automatic transmission. Offroad 4×4 driving is made possible with Mitsubishi’s Super Select II 4WD system and hill descent control.
Buyers will be happy to know that the latest specification update has not resulted in a price increase and pricing for the Pajero Sport has remained unchanged.
Pajero Sport 4×2 A/T – R569 995
Pajero Sport 4×4 A/T – R619 995
The Pajero Sport is covered by a 3-year / 100 000 km manufacturer's warranty and a 5-year / 90 000 km service plan with 10 000 km service intervals.
