Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2020 review: GLS off road

[@henkstols9326]

Very few reviewers mention that it can drive in 4wd on sealed surfaces, well done.

[@petron1954]

Obviously those reviewers do not understand the super-select system if they neglect that important feature.

[@carsguide]

Thanks mate. I'm a fan of Super Select simply because it is so damn effective. Thanks for watching and commenting. - Crafty

@@carsguide he didn't even mention drive modes...or used them to climb up that hill

[@martinlanza1236]

It's exceeded my expectations, been to numerous 4WD tracks around Sydney and twice to Frazer - never let me down. The cabin is quieter than a Mazda3 on the motorway at 100kmph.

[@autogoperformancezz4017]

Even in exceed model can reach $65,000, but worth for money. Very good .

Great car, I bought one on 29th April, 2021 in the UK. Best car I have ever had. Steven Carter, Colchester U.K.

[@PrettyGreenMonk]

Has it been reliable so far @Steven carter i may be buying one this week

[@stevencarter1563]

@@PrettyGreenMonk I have done 5800 miles so far, one annual service. Does about 34mpg very smooth transmission excellent brakes very comfortable in the cabin. I use it for Beekeeping, plenty of space in the boot for all my gear. I have two Thule roof bars which don"t make any noise. The adaptive cruise control always keeps you at a safe distance from the car in front. It drives well on the farm off road. Headlights are very good you can see a long way ahead. We have fitted a Garmin Sat Nav which is larger to see. Never seems to need anything doing except for tyre pressures 34 psi all round, I use 4 wheel drive all the time. Heating/ cooling/ heated front seats all work very well. The Aircon cold setting is probably too cold. I set it at 22° centigrade and it is nice and cool in the cabin, you can turn on rear fans as well even cooler then. It is a fantastic car has a range of about 400 miles but in actual use driving carefully probably near 500 miles. Best car I have ever had 👍 Steven Carter Colchester UK

[@stevencarter1563]

@@PrettyGreenMonk I forgot to mention extend you 3 year service plan to 5 which will save you money. The other thing depending on climate you will have to pay extra for heated wing mirrors because my car came from Australia, I think that was £504 extra and they do work and clear misting on wing mirrors.Toyo tyres are good and solid no problems. My car colour is red and looks great. We haven't had snow last Christmas but if we get some the car will be lovely and warm inside. Windscreen clears very quickly just check wiper blades are not frozen to screen before you operate. Steven Carter of Colchester UK

On our 3rd Mitsubishi. Suspect this model will be the next as we seem to have become brand loyal.

[@HammerRocks]

I still have a soft spot for the "real" Pajero. I hope Mitsubishi change their minds and create a successor to the current model. Maybe do a retro style look, like what Land Rover did for the Defender.

[@dushyantx]

How is it better than the sport?

[@HammerRocks]

dcx for one, it’s looks. Particularly the rear end. Plus I prefer the spare tyre to be mounted at the rear, not under the car.

I get mine next week. No digital speedo in the GLS but the Exceed has. Biggest gripe; no 5 seat version in the Exceed.

[@JasonLowderTheRanga]

Owned the previous model for 3 years and 120,000k. Swapped to a cx-5 turbo for this lease for a bit of fun. The other half and myself have agreed we'll be going back to the Pajero sport for the next lease in 2 years time.

[@petron1954]

I agree with you on the 5 seat issue. Not everyone wants 7 seats. Owned a 21sy Anniversary Pajero for nine years. The third row seat was removed the day I picked up the car and put into storage then put back in the day I dis[posed of the Pajero. Underfloor storage was extremely useful.

Was the off-road mode(Rock) and rear diff lock engaged and were the tires deflated at that slippery climb? Great review nevertheless, probably one of the most in-depth off-road reviews done for the Pajero Sport by far.

[@youidiphilistin2999]

[@kevinblythe2192]

With suitably deflated AT or MT tyres it would have likely made that slippery incline with ease.

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jaypod]

Nice review, mate. I wanted to get this in the Exceed trim. But ended up buying the Eclipse Cross Exceed instead, mainly because most of my trips are short distance. Like to the gym or get something from the shops. Didn't want to get bogged down with DPF problems. Also couldn't afford the Pajero Sport! :D May be when I have my own house and wife buys another smaller sporty car that she has been dreaming about, I'll get one of these. Can't live without the features that Mitsibishi provides. Lane Departure alert, blind spot monitoring and the 360 degree camera are really useful.

[@bricksandwheels]

[@darkscarlet4600]

The fact the back seats tethers fix in the ceiling makes 7 seat seating ridiculous with a strap in your face the whole trip... It just baffles me. The 4WD is tough but still needs a few iterations to iron out quality of life cabin issues.

[@PleiadesOfBirdham]

Great review thanks.

[@FinalCall]

Driving top spec 3.0 petrol 2019 model. Off-road every weekend and never need LR or difflocks. Able to keep up with JKs FJs and patrols without a struggle. Nothing new to speak of in 2020 version except the ICE and facelift. Look out for deals on 2019 version as driving will be identical. Having had a 3.8 pajero in the past, and got rid because of the 120kph alarm and constant seeking on the highway, the MS totally exceeds my expectations.

[@carsguide]

The claimed braked towing capacity is 3100kg. The heaviest thing I've towed with a Pajero Sport was a 1000kg off-road camper-trailer so I can't comment with experience about how it'd go with a 18ft-24ft boat, but, having said that, I reckon it'd do pretty well.

[@aussisapiens]

Hi Crafty, thanks for good review. I liked that it's lighter on promo and heavier of off-road performance info. I used to own mid-2000's Nissan Patrol 3l TD manual, bought it for off-roading, had a sedan for city driving. I'm eyeing the market to get an SUV for city use on weekdays and for frequent off-roading on weekends/holidays. How do you compare Pajero Sport vs Isuzu MUX (they seem to be in the same price range, but I'm not aware about MUX having factory diff lock)? Do you or CarsGuide have a side-by-side comparison for these two SUVs? Thanks mate. Alex

[@anthonyramdin1037]

I know you didn't ask me but the current mux isn't a match for the PS. However Isuzu is supposed to bring out an updated mux either later this year or early next year. Then you have to wait for it to come to whatever country you are in. So that might take a while. Pricing more than likely for the updated mux will be greater than the PS. The mux might have similar features however and would get a rd lock. But the PS is the best in it's class rn. Really, really good off road, lots of features, has a reliable engine+transmission and is pretty spacious inside. I think it was the same carsguide that put the mux, Fortuner, everst and ps against each other but that was like 4 years ago. The ps I think won that btw. Hope this helps.

[@jamiebrown9207]

Get the mux 3gen next year (2021) come with diff lock as standard plus 140 kw and 450 newton meters of torque.
