The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is longer than its predecessor, while the wheelbase and width stayed the same. Its dimensions: 4,785 mm long, 1,815 mm wide, 1,805 mm high, with a 2,800 mm wheelbase and 218 mm of ground clearance. The boot holds 500 litres with the rear seats up.
It is powered by a 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine with 209 hp. The 2,050 kg SUV reaches 100 km/h in 11.7 seconds and tops out at 182 km/h. Fuel consumption is about 14.5 litres per 100 km in town, 8.9 litres on the highway and 10.9 litres combined.
Don't be fooled by its elegant looks: the Pajero Sport is a true off-roader with a ladder frame, four-wheel drive and low range – a sibling of the L200 pickup that handles water crossings up to 700 mm deep. The second generation is a very reliable and comfortable mid-size SUV. You can also rent the Pajero Sport with a rooftop tent for two – see 4x4 with rooftop tent rental.
