2023 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport pricing and features

The updated 2023 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport has been detailed for Australia.

Following a more extensive update for model-year 2022, which saw the addition of a pair of new two-wheel-drive variants and a blacked-out flagship GSR, Mitsubishi's largest SUV has received a minor specification bump for 2023.

It is accompanied by price rises, with the entry-level GLX up $500, while the GLS, GLS Deluxe, Exceed and GSR are up $1000.

Tyre pressure monitoring is the only specification change for GLS variants and above, joining two new exterior finishes: Impulse blue for GLS and above, and terra rossa red with a black roof for the GSR.

Production will commence in February, with first deliveries expected in April.

To the end of November, 8194 examples of the Pajero Sport have been registered in Australia in 2022, placing it behind the Toyota LandCruiser Prado (20,132), Isuzu MU-X (10,043) and Ford Everest (9388) body-on-frame large SUVs.

Engine, drivetrain, and fuel economy

Under the bonnet, the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is powered by a 2.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine. It produces 133kW and 430Nm, and is coupled to an eight-speed torque converter automatic transmission.

It has a maximum braked towing capacity of 3.0 tonnes on 4x2s and 3.1 tonnes on 4x4s.

Four-wheel-drive models add Mitsubishi’s Super Select II system with selectable off-road modes, alongside paddle shifters and hill descent control.

A rear differential lock is also standard on four-wheel-drive GLS, Exceed and GSR grades, but is not available on the GLX 4x4.

All variants have a 68-litre fuel tank.

Safety

The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport was covered by a five-star ANCAP safety rating from 2015, based on testing conducted on the related Triton ute.

This five-star rating will be removed on December 31, 2022, with a newly-introduced six-year timestamp affecting its less-stringent 2015 credentials.

Existing models will retain this rating, but will appear under the 'previous models' section on ANCAP's website.

Seven airbags (dual front, side and curtain, and driver's knee) are fitted as standard.

Each variant includes the following active safety equipment as standard:

GLS variants add rain-sensing wipers, while blind-spot warning, rear-cross traffic alert and lane departure warning are exclusive to the flagship Exceed and GSR.

Dimensions

The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport has a 2800-millimetre wheelbase, and is 4825mm long, 1815mm wide and 1835mm tall.

2023 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport boot space

The five-seat Mitsubishi Pajero Sport GLX has a 673-litre boot.

With the rear seats up, the seven-seat Mitsubishi Pajero Sport has a 502-litre boot capacity.

Folding the second row increases luggage capacity to 1488 litres (7-seat) to 1624 litres (5-seat), while there's 131L of storage with the third-row in place.

Warranty and servicing

Like the wider Mitsubishi range, the Pajero Sport is covered by the marque’s 10/10 Diamond Advantage coverage with a 10-year/200,000km warranty and 10 years of capped-price servicing.

If the vehicle is serviced outside of the Mitsubishi dealer network, the program reverts to a standard five-year/100,000km warranty.

A complimentary 12-month roadside assist program is available, with the service can also be expanded for up to four years – provided the vehicle is serviced by a Mitsubishi dealership.

Availability

The 2023 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport will arrive in Australian showrooms in April.
