It’s been nearly three years since the latest Mitsubishi Pajero Sport was introduced in Thailand, and still Malaysia has yet to receive it. That could finally change as the pick-up-based SUV has been spotted by reader Acoi Al-Ameer at Puspakom Wangsa Maju, hinting at an impending local launch.
The vehicle in question appears to be a top-spec model, judging by the bi-LED headlights, lashings of chrome exterior trim and large 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels. There really isn’t much to be said about the Dynamic Shield face, vertical LED tail lights and mildly rejigged Triton interior, given that we’ve already written so much about them.
It should be noted that in other markets, the Pajero Sport is available with a Forward Collision Mitigation System (autonomous emergency braking), Blind Spot Warning and a Ultrasonic Misacceleration Mitigation System that protects against pedal misapplication. While we’re not sure if ours will have it, it’s not too far of a stretch, given that top-spec Triton models already have seven airbags and stability control.
Also already offered on the Triton is the 2.4 litre MIVEC turbodiesel engine making 181 hp and 430 Nm of torque, although the Aisin eight-speed automatic transmission is still only available on the Pajero Sport. The Super-Select 4WD-II full-time four-wheel drive system with an Off-road Mode and Hill Descent Control is also limited to the Pajero Sport.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Buy toyota wish better.. fortuner is the beast..
This Pajero will gv Boyue SUV a run for its money.
At that prices and outdated specs? Hahahaha!
Pity Proton cerai Mitsubishi and pissed them off. Otherwise we can have rebadged ASX and Pajero in Malasyia
Both time tested.
Why do P1 need to rebadge ancient dinosar ASX when they can rebadge Volvo inspired and lastest tech Boyue?
Proton had made a better Lancer than Mitsu
Capro engine drinks petrol like crazy. Better to use back Mitsubishi engines
specs in this mitsubishi is so good
I rather buy a Japanese car than a China car!!
I rather buy germany car than a Jepunis car
The current Pajero Sport’s launch in Malaysia is somehow already overdue. Here in Indonesia it’s a best seller, so best selling that it is no longer imported from Thailand but locally assembled instead.
Pajero Sport in Indonesia have become the ride of choice for the newly-rich, politicians, as well as mining/oil companies’ fleet of SUVs. The sales are indeed also spread rather evenly across the major Indonesian islands.
Way to go Mitsubishi Malaysia!!
Another failure for Mitsubishi Malaysia just like Outlander because of poorly-efficient fuel consumption. Malaysian ditched Mitsubishi long time ago
Ale utoh.. There are more Land Cruiser or Lexus RX than this sheetbox mang
How different is it from Outlander?
Pajero sport is pickup base SUV like Fortuner while outlander are normal SUV like CRV.
What about ASX then?
Smaller.. Dimwit
Yucks
Cannot accept the rear design
Hope John is reading this and understand how far our Malaysia auto industry have fallen behind compared to our neighbours. Sad but true!
Ahh, u mean like how the makers of iconic Evos, Galant VR4, Eclipse, FTO & GTO is now reduced to making 3rd world cars? Yes, indeed sad how far Jepunis auto industry have fallen behind compared to China. Truly sad but true!
Proton rebadge Mitsubishi… Mitsubishi die in Malaysia.
Proton rebadge Suzuki… Suzuki die in Malaysia.
Proton in Malaysia… Malaysia die.
Nope.

P2 in MY… Pipu die.
Heard about this Pajero Sport coming to Malaysia for around 2 years already.. If they still price this sky high w/o kit.. Then it’s Goodbye Mitsubishi.
They are following ETCM’s strategy of super late introductions.
Super ugly deaign of the rear..like no other mitsubishi. Then, super ugly wood trim in center console..are we still in the 80’s?
The exterior ok, but interior is No No No… Fake woods design looks super cheap!!!
like finally? after so long…
If it’s priced below $200k, then it will sell
Belakang macam innova lama…
Way better than fossilized fortuner.
Interior design failed
Hell it’s about time. By the time they intro this here the facelift would be coming soon for the rest of the world.
Rather wait for facelift and see
The first thing I would do after getting the Pajero Sport is put on aftermarket rear lamp covers with body-colored part for those two red ‘tears running down’.
I guess triton facelift is coming very soon if this launch. But recent triton buyer will sure very dulan. Kikiki
lampu belakang menangis
This pajero sport so good even some indon named his child as pajero sport haha
The interior freak me out.
The rear is like as though the back lamps are melting. The interior, with fake wood panels, are so 90s. Come on Mitsu you could do much better than this.
rear lights are inspired by someone in tears is it??
Sort of inverted CRV tail lights.
I’ve been saying I’ll buy this car when it comes to Malaysia since 3 years ago it launch in Thailand. But the bottom line is they come with the spec that introduce in Thailand like the Safety System and the interior. Sorry, the wood trim is not for me, it’s consider a deal breaker.
Hope its launched soon, Mitsubishi Malaysia is just too slow.
When it will lanch in india
Hope they bring swb 3 doors diesel engine here
