    • Unfortunately, you will have to wait. The earliest is 2018, and even then MMM is still fuzzy about the timeframe for the Pajero Sport’s introduction in Malaysia.

    It’s a shame Mitsubishi doesn’t sell the all new Pajero Sport here.. which I have no clue why

    therefore the current 4×4 SUV market is dominated by either Isuzu or Toyota.. yet Mitsubishi is still selling its dinosaur old Pajero Sport.. what a shame
