"Mitsubishi Pajero Sport" is a rally SUV from the Japanese automaker, known throughout the world. Being the flagship car of the manufacturer, it was produced in several generations. The last, fourth, has undergone a complete restyling, which eventually made the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport even more popular.

Exterior

Perhaps this is the only car whose creators remained true to the classic off-road body design and did not change it. The exterior of the Mitsubishi Pajero is simple and brutal, which gives confidence and reliability to the car owner. After restyling, the SUV received a new grille, new-shaped fog lamps and a modified front bumper with integrated running lights. The stern "Mitsubishi Pajero Sport" remained unchanged: only the spare wheel cover was updated. The latest generation of the car turned out to be very bright and modern, without the elegant body lines that are often found in modern crossovers.

Excellent vehicle handling is ensured by the built-in frame of increased rigidity. On thethe doors of the new "Mitsubishi Pajero" flaunt strong moldings that provide additional protection and body safety. Similar protection is installed in the engine compartment and suspension.

The high rear bumper "Mitsubishi Pajero Sport" immediately indicates that the car is primarily an SUV. The crossover is offered in several body colors: gray, white, graphite, silver and beige. For an additional fee - about 17 thousand rubles - "Mitsubishi Pajero" 4 generations can be painted in any other color.

Interior

The interior of the crossover, offered by Russian official dealers of the Japanese concern, is designed for five passengers and a driver. There is enough free space in the back to comfortably accommodate passengers of any height and build. The 4th generation Mitsubishi Pajero interior trim is made of high-quality and tactilely pleasant materials. The front seats are heated and offer excellent back and hip support.

It is worth noting separately in the interior of the new "Mitsubishi Pajero" a comfortable steering wheel with audio control buttons and cruise control. The steering wheel is adjustable only in height, which, however, is fully offset by a wide range of settings for the driver's seat. The ergonomics of the Mitsubishi Pajero interior are standard at a high level, thanks to which the driver quickly gets used to the location of the levers and control keys.

Three-zone center console presented with multimediasystem, climate control and on-board computer. The rear seats slide in different directions and are equipped with reclining backrests.

The volume of the luggage compartment "Mitsubishi Pajero Sport" is 663 liters with the condition that five people will already be in the car. If necessary, the usable boot space can be increased to 1789 liters.

The interior of "Mitsubishi Pajero" largely repeats its exterior: the absence of unnecessary details, stylish inserts and ease of design provide a presentable and high-quality appearance, which is largely due to the use of high-quality materials. However, the SUV also has a minor drawback: average sound insulation, which many owners complain about. However, a similar problem was encountered only in Mitsubishi Pajero 2 and 3 generations: the restyling eliminated it.

CV

Restyling "Mitsubishi Pajero" 3rd generation did not make fundamental changes to the car, but made the new - fourth - generation more stylish and modern. The brutal and strict design of the car inspires a sense of reliability, confidence and security.

High clearance allows you to easily overcome not only curbs, but also various fords and pits.
