We’ve seen spyshots and we’ve even seen patent images showing us exactly how the new Mitsubishi Pajero Sport will look like, but there’s a big difference between looking at a car through 2D patent drawings and full on undisguised spyshots such as these.
These images were found on Thai website Headlightmag’s forum. From what we understand from the Thai to English translated text, the new Pajero Sport was undergoing a TVC shoot and the photographer sighted it from a high-rise residential building nearby.
The new striking face has a big lower intake framed by a border that also links the headlamps to the fog lamps. This is MMC’s new signature look as seen on the latest 2016 Outlander and also concept cars like the XR-PHEV. The elements inside the grille are horizontal, as opposed to the Triton’s vertical chrome teeth, and eat into the headlamp clusters. The SUV’s rear contains wraparound tail lamp clusters with a “tail” that goes right down to the bottom edge of the tailgate
The new Mitsubishi Pajero Sport will debut on August 1, which is within weeks after the scheduled unveiling of is rival the Toyota Fortuner. Both are based on pickup trucks – the Toyota Fortuner is based on the Hilux while the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is based on the Triton.

By far the sexiest of the SUVs launched this year. Looks good, waaaaaayyyy better than the Triton which it was based from. Can’t wait to see it in the metal!
The front is awesome, the rear abit mehhh because of the odd looking tail light.
Please do fit better engine & drivetrain better than the Fortuner.
This design make the Fortuner looks old and boring.
If Fortuner using Hilux engine,Pajero using Triton
2.8l diesel 174hp/450Nm vs 2.4l 178hp/430Nm
Navara engine also that good 2.3l twinturbo-diesel making 187hp/450Nm
Why oh why, Toyota still making big displacement yet lower power that the smaller displacement.
Mitsu 2.4l RM760 , Nissan 2.3l RM680 ,Toyota 2.8l RM1320
Roadtax gonna be pricey for Toyota, almost double the Mitsu&Nissan
First impression, CR-V.
Look carefully u can see honda language all over the car. including the rear lights. Any designer from honda join mitsu recently?
Toyota, advanced in reliability and sustainability.
Apple to apple pls. Don’t compare to 2.8 1GD engine.
MMM said no 2.4 MIVEC diesel because of our low quality diesel. We still got old 2.5 4D56 – 178 hp 350 Nm.
Compared with Fortuner 2.4 – 160 hp 400 Nm, more torque yet drinks less fuel.
Diesel means torque, not hp – it’s how fast to pull the wall, not how fast to crash the wall.
I still want to buy Fortuner over this Pajero. I’m still wiggling with the Myvi accident.
yeah right. The old Hilux failed the moose test and almost roll over. Go watch in youtube.
Were you sleeping when Toyota unveiled their latest line of engines to be introduced in the new Hilux and Fortuner?
(1GD-FTV)
2.8 litre 177 hp at 3,400 rpm and 450 Nm
(2GD-FTV)
2.4 litre 150 hp at 3,400 rpm and 400 Nm
This is the new Toyota GD engine, as I said earlier…is there any new engine?
details please…
better not to park near low yat plaza..
OMG…the rear look awful and cacat… The coming new fortuner will look better than this…
that rear is just soooo odd looking….the first 3 quarters is fine n good , the final quarter is aweful…very hard to like
well, Pajero only for those who love ‘self pleasuring’..or a wanker..
The kink in the rear lights, it is a bit weird for me. Front looks good though.
Front looks like Honda Odyssey, rear is a bit weird but still looks better than current one.
suddenly the new pajero sport and the new triton swap identity. the former used to be conservative, now becomes edgy and funky and one-of-a-kind. the latter used to be edgy and one-of-a-kind, now becomes more “normal looking” and conservative.
All New Fortuner vs All New Pajero Sport
Much better than upcoming Fortuner. But overdone rear. Perhaps the statement which said “there is nothing perfect in this world” is true…
Front looks promising, but the rear is kinda weird.
the ass will look better if without the long red reflector..
That rear lamps… Inverted new xc90
those tail lamps make it seem like the suv is crying blood lol
I’ll buy toyota fortuner over this if UMW put vsc and more airbags on the new fortuner. I know suv is meant to be big, but this pajero is not just bulky..its obesity. The body and front design is not proportionate but again have to see it in real metal. Front design good but rear just so so. Toyota Fortuner rear is good, but front has less character than this new pajero…but of course both design are better looking than their current one.
The front face is the “dynamic shield” styling previewed in the 2015 Outlander down under. I suppose this will be Mitsu design for now. IMHO the front design looks Ok but the rear might raise a few eyebrows. Its that love it or loathe it depending one’s taste. At least it looks heaps better than the fortuner
They should have used this grille for the triton. All the chrome on the triton face just looks weird
Bouncy times are here
Wow the design.. it looks better than the new fortuner
i think the thais and filipinos will make this so freaking gangstaaaaaa
hopefully this is not as unstable & unsafe as its predecessor.
I have no problem with the rear.
But strangely, I feel that the new Fortuner gives more peace of mind, probably becuz of the myvi knock-off accident.
Crv/iriz front.. Jazz ass
Holy shit what have they done with the rear end? The rear lights look like they’re crying blood after seeing their own hideous design hahaha
tail lamp seems to be crying
“Crying” lamp design seems like a trend now.. look at Cadillac CT6
The car rear looks like crying.
Honda wannabe, front is typical Honda design, back is upside-down jazz tailights.
wow !! very futuristic ! even more better looking than fortuner !
