| Fuel Type | Diesel |
The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport line-up in Australia consists of four models – the GLS, GLS, Exceed and top-spec GSR – and in five- or seven-seat configurations.
All models are powered by a 2.4-litre turbo-diesel engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission – the powertrain is capable of producing 133kW and 430Nm. The Pajero Sport sits on a Triton ute chassis but with rear coils at the rear, making it a comfortable off-road tourer.
Pros
- Straightforward to own and drive, with no unnecessary gimmicks
- Ample room for passengers and cargo
- Effective off-roader
Cons
- The diesel works hard but sounds rough and feels a bit old-school
- Drives more like a ute than a modern SUV, especially on rough roads
- Functional but dated interior, with hard plastics
