Mitsubishi's Montero Sport makes a long-awaited return, but we're not getting it - Digital Trends
Rugged, old-fashioned body-on-frame SUVs are an endangered species in the United States, but there’s no shortage of them in markets like Australia. The newest family-hauling off-roader is the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, a seven-passenger SUV whose roots go back to the Montero Sport that was deep-sixed over a decade ago. The Pajero Sport rides on the same frame as the L200 pickup, but it wears a more muscular-looking design that’s characterized by a tall front end with chrome accents, sharp headlights, and a wide grille. Faux aluminum trim adds a finishing touch to the look, making the Pajero Sport stand out as one of the most premium off-roaders Mitsubishi has ever offered. In Thailand, one of the Pajero Sport’s biggest markets, power is provided by a 2. 4-liter turbodiesel engine that’s bolted to Mitsubishi’s first-ever eight-speed automatic gearbox. Further technical details are not known, and they’ll likely vary greatly from market to market. Related: Mitsubishi’s next Montero will be a budget Land Rover LR4.
