Mitsubishi has updated safety specification on its Pajero Sport7-seater SUV while also increasing the towing mass for both 4×4 and 4×4 derivatives. But that’s not all, a convenient 120W Power Plug is now also included to charge laptops and other electronic devices while you are on the move.

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.
