Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Aspire Details
Cosmetically overhauled Mitsubishi Pajero Sport model aiming to rival the outgoing Ford Everest Sport.
.
.
Unveiled two years ago after an initial refresh the previous year, Mitsubishi has revised the Pajero Sport line-up with the inclusion of a new Aspire trim level.
.
Positioned between the unbadged base model and the range-topping, four-wheel-drive-only Exceed, the Pajero Sport Aspire, touted as an alternative to the outgoing Ford Everest Sport, brings a number of bespoke exterior fixtures with the interior remaining unchanged.
.
Subtle but easy to spot, the tweaks comprise a black Dynamic Shield grille, black 18-inch alloy wheels, black roof rails and a choice of two two-tone colours; White Diamond and Jet Black.
.
Inside, the interior still sports seven seats trimmed in black leather with features being carried over from the base model.
.
This means the standard fitting of an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone climate control with rear vents, cruise control, electric lumbar support for the driver’s seat, a multi-function steering wheel, reverse camera with rear parking sensors, auto on/off LED headlights with High Beam Assist, rain sense wipers, cruise control and trailer stability control.
.
Like the rest of the range, the Aspire’s powerplant continues as is with outputs of 133kW/ 430Nm from the 2.4 DI-D turbodiesel engine.
.
An eight-speed automatic is again the sole transmission option with buyers having the choice of either rear-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive, the latter boasting the SuperSelect II system, Hill Descent Control and four off-road modes; Gravel, Sand, Mud/Snow and Rock.
.
Price
A three-year/100 000 km warranty and a five-year/90 000 km service plan are included in the Aspire’s purchase price.
