New Pajero Sport to arrive soon
ULTIMATE: SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE FOR ADVENTURERS
Refined driving dynamics are combined with luxurious carlike comfort.
Mitsubishi Motors South Africa (MMSA) will be introducing its highly-acclaimed allnew Pajero Sport in September 2017.
This stylishly designed new-generation Mitsubishi sport utility offers refined driving dynamics thanks to an array of cutting-edge technological enhancements, including a stateof-the-art eight-speed automatic transmission.
The addition of various new driver and passenger luxuries and comforts make the all-new Pajero Sport an everyday pleasure to drive – be it tight city corners, maddening highways or any other dirt or off-road surface.
The genuinely exemplary driving behaviour of the new Pajero Sport is primarily due to the flawless combination of its impressive high performance, new-generation aluminium cylinder block turbo-diesel engine and its modern high-tech eight-speed automatic transmission (including transfer gearing with low range for the four-wheel drive derivative). The four-wheel drive derivative also boasts the latest edition of Mitsubishi’s unique Super-Select II-4 4WD-system.
Boasting Mitsubishi’s stylish Dynamic Shield front-end design, the striking Pajero Sport shows off its elegant and contemporary design lines which ooze a demanding presence on the road.
The all-new Pajero Sport is the ultimate sport utility vehicle for the modern-day adventurer. Its excellently refined driving dynamics, sophisticated design and impressive road presence, combined with luxurious car-like comfort and exceptional space, as well as Pajero’s iconic brand admirability will undoubtedly ignite that spirit for adventure that forms part of each and every South African. Toyota recorded sales in excess of the 10 000 unit mark, delivering 10 506 new vehicles to South African customers last month.
This sales tally resulted in a market share of 23% for the manufacturer, which outsold its closest peer by 3 059 units. Toyota South Africa now holds the title of market leader for 37 years and six months.
Toyota SUVs remain a firm favourite, with 2 086 SUV sales logged for the month of June. The lion’s share of SUV sales stems from the segment-leading Fortuner’s 1 198 sales. Toyota RAV4 once again topped the small-SUV segment with 553 RAV4s finding new homes last month.
Sales of the new C-HR have stabilised to targeted levels, retailing 167 units in June.
Toyota further strengthened its position in the LCV market by capturing 32.5% segment share, originating from 4 634 LCV sales in June. Hilux was the main LCV contributor, thanks to a robust 3 161 units sold in the month.
Other noteworthy achievements for Toyota for the month of June were the sale of 1 159 Etios vehicles, 435 Avanza units, and a combined 1 420 unit sales of Corolla, Corolla Quest and Auris.
