Mitsubishi Pajero Sport GLS 4x4 2022 Review

[@realjohnboxall]

It's a Mitsubishi. They have a great philosophy of making cars that just last with everything you need and nothing you don't. Great value, incredible warranty and it does what it says on the tin very well - 4WD station wagon. That engine/SuperSelect-II transmission has been around for years, battle-hardended and if maintained per spec will last a lifetime.

[@DaveGiveUsAWave]

I have a GLS and have taken it off-road, carried 7 full size adults and honestly cannot fault its versatility. A great all round car. Yes lacking some tech that these newer cars offer, but for the price point this car can handle everything thrown at it.

[@Quokka_VR]

This review starts off very negative until the reviewer finally gets it. Yes, this is not a soft, quiet, car-like SUV.... it is a tough, rugged, reliable and very capable 4WD family truck.

[@tyzon00800]

It’s a shitbox bottom end feeder with sdv and gwm

[@bosscrop8234]

​@@tyzon00800 any justification for your ridiculous claim?

[@wjchivers]

Exactly right James, this is not a car-like SUV, in fact it is a bit of a handful around town (I have owned one for almost a year). Get it onto the highway and it starts to make sense. On the fire trails everything falls in to place, you understand how the engine, transmission, 4wd systems and suspension work. I love it - but I recommend anyone thinking of buying one to rent one first as I did. A 20 min drive from a dealer will not tell you what you need to know about this truck.

​@@tyzon00800 pajero has won how many dakars?how many rally's has Mitsubishi won. You have no clue what you are talking about..drive train is unbeatable

[@angusnz7910]

I think this reviewer is better sticking with city poser SUV’s and mummy wagons. Pajero is a decent 4x4 for the money, and those 2 things are it’s selling points…it’s a proper 4x4 and it’s a decent price. If you want something that not ‘an old girl’ then by all means spend 25% more. No I don’t own one, but know people who do…it’s one of those vehicles reviewers don’t go for, but private owners love.

[@LL2500]

I tried both PS, MU-X and new Everest recently, and I picked PS finally. MU-X is bigger and more cabin space, but the engine is noisy and shaky, just like driving a bus or .... you know ISUZU light truck. New Everest is better in most aspect, but the 3rd row space is too small. I am 177cm, I can fit in PS's 3rd row easily with a decent knee room, but I cannot fit into Everest's 3rd row even I push 2nd row forward.

[@RocketRod63]

“Mitsubishi’s reputation for uninspiring cabin design”……this reviews off to a great start👍👍

[@T0nyGTSt]

although this SUV has an old ladder frame platform the sad thing is that it has a very advanced 4wd system, in fact I dont think it has a competitor that is as good... unless you go to a Land Rover or something prestige... that in itself makes a good argument for this over competing 4wds which have a much more primitive read less safe 4wd system...

[@M.P.J.F_UKcitizen]

I own this model in the UK, like all of the moanstream media sites they approach these SUVs from "car review" i.e. the wrong perspective, the Pajero Sport is a 4x4 SUV not a car based AWD SUV..... Like with all things in life, there is a trade off, if you want a car that you can occasionally park on the grass....... then the Pajero Sport isn't probably for you. (PS I love mine)

[@LiT0308]

Be aware that the ebreak and screen will fail right after 2 years of ownership, they cost around $1000 each to replace

[@peterclark2230]

The pajero sport has always been (markerted in Australia as the Challanger) it was never an Outlander as reported .The transfer case has a center diff that can be in high range unlocked on high friction surfaces (from the Gen 2 Pajero) and the rear axle is not independant as reported (agian donanted from the Gen 2 Pajero). would be great if the reporter had half a clue what he was reporting about!

[@fishingwiththomas]

Exactly. I am still waiting for his answer to my question.

[@johnnumbat9782]

Yes Peter I commented above on the mistaken model names etc - this reporter has no idea

[@carsales]

Thanks for your comments guys. Feann knows the difference between a Pajero, a Pajero Sport, a Challenger - and yes an Outlander. It was a slip of the tongue and if you check out the written review you'll see he knows his stuff. But thanks for pointing it out - always appreciated! www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/mitsubishi-pajero-sport-gls-2022-review-138194/

[@johnnumbat9782]

This vehicle concept began as a Challenger not an Outlander which was the smaller crossover Mitsubishi and not at all capable off-road - editor needs to check their facts - I’d happily own a Pajero Sport or Toyota Fortuner instead of a conventional Pajero or Toyota Prado because the annoying swing out rear door is a deal breaker for me as it provides no overhead protection from the elements and impedes into space of car parked behind you

[@stendecstretcher5678]

I agree on the door.

[@richlawrence4160]

the "Pajero sport" is a triton ute based station waggon. Its predecessor was the "Challenger" based on a previous generation of triton. The outlander is a car like SUV not the same thing, and you show pictures of previous model outlanders. Of course the manufacturers switch model names and specs in different markets of the world, so who knows?

[@indecesiveman5539]

This car is one of the most popular SUV here in Indonesia along with Toyota Fortuner and Honda CRV

[@fourocker]

No it didn't start out as an Outlander but actually as a Challenger, Triton based of course, I had a 3.2 LWB NT Pajero for years, bloody good vehicle, actually the best I ever owned and miss it.

[@GeorgeKingSlayer]

Please Mitsubishi bring back the 3.2 Pajero 😢😢

[@gjmob]

3 link independent rear suspension?

[@fishingwiththomas]

When did it go to an independent rear end?

[@richlawrence4160]

Even has a rear underbody shot showing the spare and the solid rear axle.

[@rogenlaishram7589]

I like the old design better.

[@Will-nb8qk]

geez man if those old bones are still good then why the negativity

[@mrz1281]

hopefully the nissan renault merger brings a new platform and tech

[@wedantasatrya9458]

I’m just wondering why they don’t have the Pajero Sport Dakar line like the one in Indonesia here in Australia

[@ev0wat]

I’ve spoken to the dealership about this and it’s because over 100k so nobody will ever buy it!

[@jkclassy3643]

Overall a good truck.

[@leewenlong2008]

i drove it over 40k now since 2020 new model, it worthes the dollar u spent...

[@mantahoan4999]

total amount you have to pay to buy this car ?

[@hamba-Allah21]

Allahumma sholli ala sayyidina muhammad wa ala alihi wasohbihi wasallim lailaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu minaz zolimin ya ghoni ya mukni ya Allah

[@Benedicto-gw4dj]

Yeah montero underchassis is old that its very much the same as the gen 2 pajero

[@mvnorsel6354]

I wish they made a sedan version made in Adelaide with a 3.8 V6.

[@xboxice2005]

Best to used old running gears thats proven ay 😀

[@Will-nb8qk]

Yeah this guys reviews were weird lol

[@user-gk1nt6sm2z]

It's not a girly SUV, it's a real 4wd. Wakee wakee.

[@madjid0235]

I like this suv

[@dornathanfuchs2546]

the pajero models and outlander are two diffrent product lines, pajero was discountined 3 years ago :(

[@namelast9340]

What are you talking about. There is 2023 Pajero

[@keeganspring]

This guy is the mid range SUV of car journos. He's not much to look at, and can't deliver what his more expensive counterparts offer. He's not as smart and has old bones. He's not innovative either, but he will get the job done.

[@Will-nb8qk]

i think this guy was just being negative with ulterior motives lol. I’m not in the market for a 4wd but what ive seen of P sport they are much better than what this guy is letting on. It’s sad listening to review likes this.

[@Titanium308]

every second word you said was OLD, if you don't like it just say so..... the engine is a rattler, I'm convinced you are not experienced enough to do reviews

[@shaun1900]

average and not to bad and ok is used consistently across the review - says all I need to know - get an Everest and be done.

[@tonydcurrawong]

So.....Buy a Rexton?

[@coldude2559]

It's cheap on an aging platform...and it shows!!!

[@adilnizam2120]

this looks like a MPV

[@Luketa1978]

In my uncle 4x4 shop those Pajeros woould be rhere all the time. They are just not made for off road. But thanka for yhem..fords..gmc..he could make money. If o ky Toyota was offroad he would be a broke guy

[@matthewwayne4684]

clearly you don't like Mitsubishi, please never review again

[@andreyalex5639]

🇷🇺👍👍

[@bulldog9708]

It is the ugliest car in the segment by a mile, especially the rear, when are Mitsi updating it ?

[@pudingaomar6341]

Mitsubishi is a dying brand

[@robbierolly453]

Som 1 dosnt like mitsubishi
