2023 MITSUBISHI PAJERO SPORT

The 2023 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, shares its engine, transmission and much of its platform with the Triton ute, and has been engineered from the outset to be capable off-road. Its ground clearance, approach and departure angles and tyre choice are all intended to enable it to tackle terrain too gnarly for most ‘unibody’ SUVs.
