Mitsubishi Pajero 35L 2019 Automatic

In the case of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport we find underpinnings shared with the recently updated Triton utility. The pair is mechanically identical, and shares a familiar cabin décor and frontal styling treatment. The rear-end (obviously) is unique to the Pajero Sport, and includes a third row of seats and 1488-litre boot behind a top-hinged tailgate. At the other end we find Mitsubishi’s carryover 2.4-litre MIVEC four-cylinder turbo-diesel (133kW/430Nm) matched to an Aisin-sourced eight-speed automatic transmission. The plentiful ratios mean the Pajero Sport is a smooth and reasonably efficient performer with a wide selection of gears for off-roading – a two-speed transfer case providing all of Mitsubishi’s proven Super Select-II four-wheel drive capabilities.
If a roomy, well-equipped SUV with seven seats and off-road ability is on your shopping list, you could do a lot worse than to take home a Pajero Sport. It really is a very capable family hauler with a kit list that embarrasses many of its nearest rivals – and a better level of interior fit and finish too. Powered and heated leather seats, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, dual-zone climate and keyless entry and ignition mean the Pajero Sport Exceed ticks a lot of boxes. Adaptive cruise control and parking sensors front and rear help the cause, as does sensibly sensitive auto lights and wipers.
