also seen on the smaller Eclipse Cross.

Known as the Montero Sport or Shogun Sport in some markets, the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport in its
third iteration has been around since August 2015, so the timing seems just about right for a
mid-cycle refresh. The midsize SUV already had a bold design with an imposing front fascia, but
the facelift kicks things up a notch by applying the updated corporate design dubbed “Dynamic
Shield” we’ve seen on the Eclipse Cross. You’ll find just about the same front fascia on the L200 /
Triton pickup truck upon which the Pajero Sport is based.
Stepping inside the cabin, Mitsu has installed an 8-inch digital instrument cluster and an
updated touchscreen of the same size for the infotainment system. The Pajero Sport feels a bit
more upscale than before thanks to more soft-padded surfaces throughout the interior, while
rear passengers now have access to their own AC power outlet next to the USB port. A power
tailgate with hands-free feature is also available, as is the possibility to access some of the SUV’s
controls and info through a smartphone.

With the refresh, Mitsubishi is boosting the Pajero Sport’s array of safety features by adding
Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert systems. Go for the 4WD model and your SUV is
going to come with a redesigned switch providing access to the off-road mode. Rounding off the
changes on the inside is the updated storage tray accessible from both sides along with a
revised lower console.
As it’s the case with the pre-facelift model, the 2020 Pajero Sport uses a turbodiesel 2.4-liter
four-cylinder engine shared with the Triton. It’s good for 178 horsepower (133 kilowatts) and 430
Newton-meters (317 pound-feet) of torque channeled to the road via an eight-speed automatic
gearbox.
Mitsubishi has already kicked off sales of the updated Pajero Sport in Thailand where the
midsize SUV is being built at the factory in Laem Chabang.

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.
