The mid-size SUV carries the company's new front fascia, also visible on the smaller Eclipse Cross.
Known as Montero Sport or Shogun Sport in some markets, the third edition of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport has been in existence since August 2015, so the timing seems perfect for a mid-cycle refresh. The intermediate SUV already had a bold design with an imposing fascia, but the facelift gives a new boost by applying the new visual identity called "Dynamic Shield" that we saw on the cross Eclipse. You will find almost the same fascia as on the L200 / Triton pickup on which the Pajero Sport is based.
Upon entering the cabin, Mitsu installed an 8-inch digital instrument cluster and an updated touch screen of the same size for the infotainment system. The Pajero Sport feels a little more upscale than previously thanks to more padded surfaces on the inside, while rear pbadengers now have access to their own power outlet next to the USB port. An electric tailgate with handsfree function is also available, as well as the ability to access some of the controls and information of the SUV via a smartphone.
With this upgrade, Mitsubishi enhances Pajero Sport's range of safety features by adding Lane Departure Assistance and Rear Cross Traffic Alert systems. Opt for the four-wheel drive model and your SUV will come with a redesigned switch giving access to off-road mode. The updated storage tray, accessible from both sides, as well as the revised lower console complete the changes made to the interior.
As with the pre-facelift model, the Pajero Sport 2020 uses a 2.4-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine shared with the Triton. That's good for 178 horsepower (133 kilowatts) and 430 Newton meters (317 lb-ft) of torque transmitted to the road via an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Mitsubishi has already launched sales of Pajero Sport updated in Thailand, where the intermediate SUV is being built in Laem Chabang's factory.
