This 4WD Is Reliable But Old-School (Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2024 Review)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 лип 2024
- Detailed review and test of the 2024 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport GSR, including 4WD system, diesel engine, price, features and interior.
The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is getting on in years but it still delivers a mostly honest, decent experience. But there are flaws, including a lazy ESC system and an inflexible, relatively small boot.
Still, the Pajero Sport is cheaper than key rivals like the Isuzu MU-X and Ford Everest. It also has a long - but conditional - warranty. Should you buy a Mitsubishi Pajero Sport or wait for the new model that is on the way?

This car is still worth it even now, reliable and easy going.
Rented this car for a road trip all around Tasmania last yr for 2 wks. Strong contender for that purpose in my opinion. Only negatives needs a better sound system and software interface system.
Do you want reliability or all the shiny tech? I think you can find it in a German cars. You can't have everything in a car
@xayvath5221 The new Pajero will be a completely new package, new interior, new tech and a total overhaul of the old one. I think it will be the best of both worlds with shininess and capability.
I've owned a Pajero Sport Exceed for 2 years and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good family sized 4WD. The only negative for me is the standard Toyo Open Country A32 tyres (these are not A/T tyres)... they are absolutely crap in wet weather in 2WD, but the ESC improves grip if used in 4WD mode. I just upgraded to a new set of Falken Wildpeak AT3W All terrains... problem solved!
agreed 100% , same experience, same tyres, much happier!
I also have the Falken Wild peak tires, but on an outlander and they are awesome tires.. I wish Mitsubishi brings the pajero to the US. Sadly we don't have it here.
Great to hear a journalist acknowledge that there are some advantages to having a 4*4 that’s a more practical size than the current batch of obese tanks
Prado kakadu isnt obese. What do you call the land cruiser 300?
@@oriondoublecrosseda whale 🫴
I'd get this over a junk GWM Tank 300
Always liked these. It's a shame these aren't offered in the market I live in. Nor the Fortuner or Everest.
which country?

These will be collectors items soon...grab one for your towing!
I was looking at an Outlander until I realised a 2WD Paj Sport was only a bit more. And no horrible CVT. It would have been rude not to.
I got the MY23 GLS with deluxe pack, tow kit and bits and pieces for 55k. Good price?
I have brought it, 100% Amazing exterior and interior design, reliable, built quality, SUV 4x4, mileage, luxury’s feel with impressive leather interior but not a cheap hard plastic like other SUV’s.
Pajero sport with excellent Engine and performance, great off-road experience.. no price cheat, worth having it.
Be aware that the ebreak and screen will fail right after 2 years of ownership, they cost around $1000 each to replace
Not covered under Warranty?
Customers complain about unreliability german cars loaded with tech and redundant features that break and fail way before you get your moneys worth, but they dont like a car that has none of those tech feature but will last forever
Exactly
old school = reliable
latest tech = for short term
Pajero sfx was love 🤍
Driving around town what are your thoughts on the Pajero Sport VS Outlander? I like the size of the PS especially in the 3rd row but since its an older platform compared to the Outlander not sure if its worth spending a bit more to get the PS.
Older is better. A CVT is a roll of the dice. That engine and transmission in the PS will last forever.
Always liked pajero sport, but spending significant time in traffic, can't afford two different vehicles. Did anyone experience DPF malfunction relatively earlier, let's say, at 30-45 k miles?
I have not heard of that problem with the Triton or the PS. My friend with other brands who had issues were from short town/city driving & a simple blast out the road seemed to rectify the issue
Is this really a 2024 Pajero or just a 2023 model?
I thought the 2024 pajero coming out laterr this year.
I'm looking at buying a 2023 Exceed and really enjoyed this review. 👍👍
It’s 2023 model. 2024 model has 135 Kw .
You keep mentioning rivals. Which ones are you referring to ? That have the same features or better for that price range?
I'd like to know too
I thought the ps had the better seats out of Everest and mux
Do you think SsangYong Rexton is a contender?
Living in the UK I can't believe how cheap that is !!
They should give more power to Pajero.
i would say not a bad car but a bit overpriced for how old it is
2012 model, 2024 price
Spot on da Kooodhi😂

Soon old school will be more expensive rather than cell phones on the wheels
The older, the better reliability and the more parts and accessories
Inferior to the real Pajero in every points. Bring us back the real Pajero. We need a new one. A real one.
It's discontinued
@@xayvath5221 Nohhh ??? You sure ?
@@waza3350 yeah you can Google it. They made the final version of the 4th generation called "final edition".
Not really in every point.
Sport have solid rear axle and it's body on frame which is the way Mitsubishi should've stay with their main suv.
Other than that, even eliminating the frame won't stop the rust, which is another issue with the previous Prado competitor.
I'd rather have them make new Sport, based on new Triton which got slightly bigger (especiall width) and as a result - improved interior space.
The only missing thing is short wheelbase option.
@@Kierdziol They do plan to produce a 2026 Pajero Sport based on the new Triton. Mitsu said that their Next real Pajero will still be its own breed so probably still an unibody design similar to the new Land Rover.
The graphics display and reversing camera resolution is poor. Very dated interior.
Bring back the real Pajero....
It's discontinued buddy. If you want fancy interior why would you choose the pajero (which looks more outdated than the pajero sport) and go for the shiny land/range rover.
Do you want a fancy car or something that is reliable and get you out of the mud. So fancy and hardcord can't go along. You have to choose and stop complaining that you can't have everything in a car
@xayvath5221
They are working on a new one.
Already had a 2022 Paj Sport Exceed and sold it after 12 months it was such a great car not!
@@strider88888 the pajero is discontinued don't you understand it. I'm not talking about the pajero sport which the suv version of the pickup truck Triton (called also l200, strada in other markets)
@@xayvath5221
Don't you understand????
Mitsubishi has commenced development of a new, full-size Pajero available 2027.
Yes - The old Pajero was discontinued in 2021.
No stock left for me. I couldn't get one and ended up buying a Pajero Exceed Sport in early 2022.
The current Pajero Sport was based on the Triton Ute, and raiding the Mitsubishi spare parts bin. It wouldn't even make up my driveway ín 2WD. Ít's way overpriced for what you get.
I had a Prado for a long long time and it did everything. Supplemented that later with an Amarok V6. Bought a Pajero Sport Exceed to replace the Prado, and kept it less than 18 months and then bought a Subaru XT Outback to replace it. The Outback has better quality, power and traction than the PS. The PS has slightly more luggage space, and ride ht. But the Outback is so much better ....
@@strider88888 So for now we can estimate that the new Pajero will be bigger, have hybryid drivetrian so yet another oversized/overweight model while there's not much in the compact market.
Also, comparing utillity based suv to mid-size station wagon/crossover (Outback) is just silly.
Better replace it with something else before cvt will wore out.
It’s about to be replaced.
Not sure I’d say about to be. The new gen hasn’t been revealed, so we’re at minimum six months from the new model arriving in Australia - probably more
One year minimum
Nice review, I enjoyed it. Looking forward to the updated Pajero Sport, hopefully they style it well, and keep it reasonably priced. I’d do it’s likely to be my next car.
Interior is yuk. I wait for the tank 500 and go from there
Wtf its a automatic 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They look so tippy. Easy to roll for sure.
They have rolled just have to hit the side kerb going fast and u end up on the side
No more than any other ute or 4x4.
Like the MUX !
Yes, I see a lot of people in the Emergency department after rollovers with 4wds. Minor injuries usually. You would definitely be silly to get a 4wd if you are going to drive at high speed or don't need an off-road vehicle. If you are driving behind one you can see them lean just going around a corner.
Other than the new Triton coming out, every Mitsubishi model is forgettable
Very ugly car!!!
I still like 2012 model
Pure offroader 🗿🗿🤌🤌
