Mitsubishi pajero sport

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is the new generation of Pajero launched in 2012. The rugged SUV competes with Toyota Fortuner, Hyundai Sante Fe, Ford Endeavour and other humongous SUVs in India, although, Mitsubishi unlike Toyota is not that active in luring customers through the means of pricing, marketing and dealerships across the country. Mitsubishi has tagged this SUV a notch too higher and this would definitely not wash with Indian customers. 2012 Mitsubishi Pajero is pitched for South East Asian, South American, Latin American, South African and Russian markets.

 Mitsubishi India which works in collaboration with Hindustan Motors launched Pajero in India back in 2002. Over the year, Pajero has proved its worth by winning the world’s toughest driving contest: the Dakar Rally. The new Pajero Sport has undergone a sea change from the previous Pajero. The new Pajero is basically built on Triton pick-up truck platform. Its competitor Toyota Fortuner is based on Hilux pickup platform. The SUV Pajero SFX assembles in India (Chennai) through completely knocked down units from Thailand. However, the Pajero Sport is brought as CBU. The pick-up truck derived body on ladder frame, high ground clearance, high riding double wishbone with coil springs and a stabilizer bar suspension set-up at front and three-link set-up with coil springs and stabilizer bar suspension at rear and the gap between the rear wheel arches and the tyres give it a raw SUV look.

 Pajero Sport has Mitsubishi's old family grille flanked by a set of attractive clear-lens headlamps with projector beams with self-levelling. The SUV looks supreme with its tight haunches and distinctive wheel arches enclosing 17 inch wheels. Rear of Pajero Sport is dominated by Alfa Romeo-esque tail lamps. Chrome door handles complement the lushness of Pajero Sport. Even the new front chrome grille with slashed bars or either side of the Mitsubishi logo looks amazing. Round fog lamps look like two eyes and skid plate looks like the smiley face. Ground clearance of 215 mm is more than desired and gives a macho look to the SUV. Side silver step helps in easy ingress and exit from of high held Pajero Sport.

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport has been blessed with great interiors and exteriors. The interiors have been done carefully and the firm has made sure that passengers get a perfect and pleasurable experience during the ride. The front cabin is spacious and loaded with tons of latest features. Starting with the infotainment segment, the SUV has been equipped withMulti-mode center information display, which shows the time, date, temperature and music info. The 2 DIN touch screen stereo is fantastic accompanied with evenly spread 6 speakers for perfect music and entertainment. The air conditioning system has been installed with the smart climate control system. The AC vents have been spread out evenly so that the rear seat passengers are also be relaxed even in hot summers of India. The seats have been covered in high quality leather, which provides the entire interiors a very posh and luxurious feel. The sporty beige color further adds more charm and a lush ambience to the interiors of new Pajero Sport SUV.

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is a pleasant SUV to watch at. For any SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle), the exterior appearance matters a lot. Mitsubishi Pajero does not compromise on that front and boasts of a sturdy look on its exteriors. The new projector headlamp cluster with levelling looks very stylish and flanks the front chrome grille with slanting bars. The chrome plated vertical bar-type front grill divided in two halves to let the elevated Mitsubishi logo shine in between. The chromed outer door handles add to the beauty of the SUV. Mitsubishi has put some real effort and innovation in designing exteriors of Pajero Sport to make it a solid build SUV that does not look rugged at all. Right below this is the license plate slightly overlapping with the bumper. The headlamps are uncluttered and separated from the fog lamps below. The silver front skid plate not only provides robustness to the vehicle but also slyly enhances the elegance. It has chrome plated power door mirrors for a finished aggressive front look.

 On the rear, an intermittent wiper-cum-washer and a high mounted stop lamp not only contribute to handiness but also to back beauty. The chrome plated and garnished rear license plate adds to the beauty. On the sides, black roof rails and sidesteps for all doors highlight its SUV status while power windows, metallic door handles, keyless entryand illuminated ignition key cylinder lay the impression of luxury. The choice of 17-inch light alloy wheels with front and rear mudguards is perfect for this SUV. The six choices of unique colors give some excitement to buyers. Though overall the thought put in front design does not seem the same for rest of the vehicle.
