Conhecido como Montero Sport ou Shogun Sport em alguns mercados, o Mitsubishi Pajero Sport chegou à sua segunda geração em agosto de 2015, então estava na hora de receber uma atualização no seu visual. O SUV já tinha uma cara bem ousada com sua grade enorme, mas o facelift vai um pouco além ao aplicar o design "Dynamic Shield" da marca, visto no Eclipse Cross e, mais recentemente, na picape L200 Triton - que dá origem ao Pajero Sport.

Entre no carro e verá que a fabricante instalou um painel de instrumentos digital de 8" e uma central multimídia atualizada e com display também de 8". O Mitsubishi Pajero Sport parece mais refinado do que antes graças às superfícies com materiais macios por todo o interior, enquanto os passageiros de trás tem acesso à sua própria saída do ar-condicionado, ao lado de uma porta USB. A tampa do porta-malas conta com acionamento elétrico por movimento, e o proprietário ainda tem acesso à informações e alguns comandos do SUV pelo smartphone.

Com a atualização, a Mitsubishi aproveitou para melhorar a segurança do Pajero Sport com mais equipamentos com assistente de mudança de faixa e alerta de tráfego cruzado. Passe para o modelo 4x4 e o SUV terá um botão redesenhado que muda o modo off-road. Fechando as mudanças no interior está o porta-objetos atualizado e o console inferior revisado.

Assim como o modelo pré-reestilização, o Pajero Sport 2020 utiliza um motor 2.4 turbodiesel de quatro cilindros, usado também pela picape L200 Triton. Gera 181 cv e 43,8 kgfm de torque, transmitido pelo câmbio automático de 8 marchas.

O Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2020 já começou a ser vendido na Tailândia, onde o SUV é produzido. O lançamento em outros mercados ainda não foi confirmado. A mudança no Brasil pode demorar um pouco, já que o utilitário foi lançado em abril.

Product overview

Fused with sedan-like comfort and functionality, the new PAJERO SPORT inherits the PAJERO series off-road capability, reliability and durability in a mid-size SUV.

It was redesigned with the theme of Elevate your Journey. It features more powerful yet refined exterior, high quality and comfortable interior with advanced functions. The new PAJERO SPORT is created to meet the drivers' desire for exploration and adventure.

(1)Exterior design accentuates wide, sculptured and powerful appearance

The MITSUBISHI MOTORS' signature Dynamic Shield front view design concept has been further evolved on the new PAJERO SPORT while securing good visibility, emphasizing the sense of wideness with the headlights continuing from the front grille and the combination lamps at the bumper corners. The higher bonnet of the vehicle exhibits a deeper front face, while a more solid, powerful chrome part design projects a more refined, sophisticated appearance.

(2)Advanced and convenient new components

Easy-to-read 8 inch color LCD meter, and 8 inch Smartphone-Link Display Audio (SDA).
Power Tailgate (safety mechanism included) with a new hands-free feature.
MITSUBISHI Remote Control offers a number of functions that facilitate ease of access. It will send notification to the driver's smartphone to lock the doors via the app when the driver leaves the vehicle with the doors unlocked. The Power Tailgate can be opened or closed by smartphone. In addition, the tailgate reservation system can be preset by smartphone anywhere, which enables the driver to open or close the tailgate automatically when he/she approaches or leaves the vehicle. The keyless operation system is effective between the vehicle and within Bluetooth* operating range.

(3)High quality and comfortable interior

Refreshed floor console and soft padded interior door handles enhance the overall interior look with quality and comfort.
Storage tray that sits under the floor console can be accessible from left and right sides. New AC power outlet added on the existing USB plug at the console rear panel improves usability for all passengers.

(4)Integrated vehicle performance

The 2.4L MIVEC turbo diesel and an 8-speed automatic transmission delivers excellent environmental and smooth performance.
Enhanced safety features with the addition of Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) functions.
The new PAJERO SPORT retains the Super-Select 4WD-II system that delivers optimal traction for all surfaces and confidence-inspiring handling characteristics. The off-road mode with a newly designed switch on 4WD models elevates all-terrain performance and self-extraction capability through the integrated control of engine output, transmission settings and brake power.
