The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is yet to arrive in Malaysia, but in Indonesia, the Triton-based SUV is in its second phase. The seven-seater is now locally assembled in the Republic, and the new CKD variant will be sold alongside those imported from Thailand.
Local assembly at the new Cikarang plant brings savings and greater value, and the CKD Pajero Sport Dakar 4X2 Ultimate variant introduces plenty of new kit to the equation.
The active safety equipment list is particularly impressive for this type of car, with Forward Collision Mitigation System, Blind Spot Warning, Ultrasonic Misacceleration Mitigation System and Adaptive Cruise Control all standard along with seven airbags, five more than the five imported variants.
Also in is a nine-inch roof-mounted monitor that’s connected to the front 2-DIN head unit and audio system. Small but meaningful improvements include the addition of a door lock button on the driver’s door panel and illuminated power window switches. This variant has a beige interior with wood trim for a traditional luxury feel.
There’s also a tailgate spoiler, but the Pajero Sport’s striking exterior – with those “long-tail” signature rear lights and Dynamic Shield face (the Triton would look great with this fascia, don’t you think?) – is otherwise unchanged.
Also unchanged is the powertrain, which comprises a 2.4 litre MIVEC turbodiesel with 181 PS and 430 Nm of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with steering paddle shifters. The Pajero Sport Dakar 4X2 Ultimate is priced at 549 million rupiah (RM178,401). This or the Toyota Fortuner?

When Malaysia launching?
Yes, when are we getting this in Malaysia and please, bring in the full specs model
Mitsu takes Toyota’s cryin car design into a whole new level. What a cryin shame.
it’s a pity to see MMM still selling a dated Pajero Sport here yet our neighbouring countries have been enjoying it for almost a year
There was a time when the real Japan made Pajero is available in numbers here. Now because of pricing we have to make do with this small, tall and unstable ‘Pajero Sport’ made in Asean.
@ Rocketman,
This new generation of Pajero Sport is not as unstable as the previous generation. The wheelbase for the Pajero Sport 2016 and the Pajero is almost identical with the former having a 30 degree approach angle and 25 degree departure angle.
The Pajero Sports 2016 is has been lowered with a ground clearence of 215mm vs the Fortuner 2016 of 225m and the Pajero of 225. I believe this should address your concerns about being unstable.
Cheers
Hello Mitsubishi, Y not assembled at Tanjung malim??
Front look handsome but ugly rear
I still go for fortuner…looks more handsome compared to that hideous back pajero….old pajero ftw
Ya, your top specs Fortuner sold in Malaysia is really under specs!
Elaborate?
love the rear design, when is it comings malaysia?
This 4×4 has some great reviews over in Australia, Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia. For the price and the features that the Pajero Sports is offering vs the other competitors, it is an excellent choice.
Go read some of these reviews yourself and judge the car with facts and what the car was intended for.
By the way what’s up with the fake wood? I rather the Australian version.
Malaysia should be a pioneer on automotive industries,
but due to protect local made and loosing many job opportunity,with great amount of foreigner investment
are going to Thailand and Indonesia.
just because of a small egg lost the chicken.
well what can i see we are going backwards,just look at our neighbor they are laughing us.
please delete that ugly wood decoration.
and bring in the exceed model from AUS.
bila bring here
When is this coming the MY?
