All new Pajero Sport is here

ʂ Legendary Pajero heritage shows in Mitsubishi’s ability when you leave the road. NEW-GEN TURBO DIESEL PRODUCES 133KW AND 430KW

Mitsubishi has unveiled the new Pajero Sport, powered by the new-generation high-performance MIVEC 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine producing 133kW and 430Nm and coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission for both the 2WD and 4WD models.

The latter has low-range as well as Mitsubishi’s latest version of its Super Select 4-II 4WD system which now also boasts electronic off-road assistance.

To further enhance the offroad experience provided by the unique Super Select 4-II 4WD system, Hill-Descent Control has been added for additional safety when on dangerous ground. In addition, the selectable Off-road Mode maximises traction on unsealed surfaces.

The additional electronic assistance allows the driver to select either the Gravel, Mud/Snow, Sand or Rock setting to suit surface conditions and optimise engine output, transmission settings and braking for superior traction.

With the added lockable rear differential to this magnificent 4WD system, the new Pajero Sport offers superior road holding under any conditions, on and off the road, and is virtually unstoppable.

The 8-speed auto box also offers a sport mode with manual shifting and paddle shift allowing the driver full control for sportier driving, long descents and unusual towing conditions.

LED headlights with auto levelling and daylight running lights as well as a headlamp washer for the 4WD version, are standard features, while a LED high-mounted rear stop lamp on the tailgate provides additional safety.

In line with its Pajero heritage, the newcomer boasts double wishbone coil springs with a stabilizer bar in the front and multi-link suspension with stabilizer bar in the back.

Soft-feel leather seats further enhance the quality feel of the new Pajero Sport.

The driver seat is electrically adjustable. The second row of seats offers a 60:40 split with tumble, reclining and sliding function with a centre armrest and cup holders.

The third row of seats folds flat into the floor to minimise intrusion into the cargo space when not in use.

Passenger comfort is improved with a tilt and telescopic steering wheel with paddle shifts, rear park distance control with a rearview camera, dual automatic air conditioning with rear passenger temperature controls and an electric parking brake.

Other standard features, include a keyless operating system with electronic start function, multi-function leather steering wheel with audio and cruise control, Bluetooth with hands-free voice control and fold-away electric door mirrors incorporating turn indicators.
