What is it?

The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Shogun is fitted with a variety of additional equipment that enhance its styling and ability. The all-new Pajero Sport Shogun Limited Edition is based on the Aspire 4x4 derivative and this locally developed model will join the range just below the Exceed derivative.

Exterior:

The Pajero Sport stands out from the crowd with a Dynamic Shield front grille. The Pajero Sport Shogun is differentiated aesthetically by a black bonnet decal and badging.

Aspire models on which the Shogun are based are only available in Jet Black or White Diamond, with a two-tone roof and feature black roof rails, a black front grille and 18-inch alloy wheels. On Shogun models these are wrapped with Special All Terrain Tyres measuring 265/60R18 and featuring white writing.

Shogun-specific equipment include a black Shogun nudge bar, a snorkel, side window deflectors, fender flares and Shogun rock sliders.

Interior:

The interior features all the Aspire premium touches, comfort and luxury. Key features include black leather seats, a power slide and reclining function for the driver’s seat, electric windows all round and dual-zone climate control with a rear ventilation duct for the second row of seats.

A multi-function leather steering wheel places audio and cruise control settings at the driver’s fingertips, and a full-colour digital instrument display ensures visibility of all relevant information. A large eight-inch touch screen is centrally mounted and facilitates Mitsubishi’s advanced smartphone-link display audio.

Powertrain:

Under the bonnet the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is powered by a 2.4 litre MIVEC four-cylinder intercooled turbodiesel engine that boasts 133 kW and 430 Nm, which is coupled to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
