pajero sport 2023 review

The 2023 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is the ute-based family wagon that refuses to wear a polo shirt—more flannelette, less finesse. Its 2.4-litre turbo-diesel and 8-speed auto deliver a workmanlike shove of 133 kW/430 Nm, with Super Select II 4WD making weekend tracks feel entirely legal.

Tow rating is 3,100 kg braked and real-world fuel use hovers around ~8–9 L/100 km if you’re gentle; neither stat crowns it king, but both are honest. Cabin tech is straightforward with CarPlay/Android Auto, the third row is more "kids after footy" than adults, and the ride can thump on choppy suburban bitumen. Value is strong, safety kit decent (AEB and adaptive cruise on upper trims), and Mitsubishi’s warranty stretches up to 10 years/200,000 km if you play by the dealer-service rules. If you want plush, look elsewhere; if you want a dependable seven-seater that actually likes mud, this one earns its keep.
