2010 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport review

[MitsubishiDxb]

First off, the Pajero Sport should not be confused with the Pajero.

Despite the shared name, the Sport is a separate entity, and not a regular Pajero with a dash more adrenaline.

No, the Pajero Sport is more of a pick-up truck adapted for seven passengers, based as it is on the L200. Globally, this car is seen as a replacement for the Nativa, but the Nativa remains on sale in the Middle East alongside its new sibling.

The Pajero Sport is designed to offer a no-nonsense way of carrying up to seven people on or off-road, with a few luxuries thrown in to make things more comfortable. It fits in between the Outlander and the Pajero in the Mitsubishi line up.

The Pajero Sport is powered by a 3.5-litre V6 developing a rather lowly 184bhp, a figure saved only by the more reasonable 303Nm or torque. The engine is attached to a four-speed automatic transmission and a part-time four-wheel drive system.

Three trim levels are available. The entry-level Low/Line trim features chrome door handles and a leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, a CD player with the all-important AUX socket for MP3 players and manual air conditioning, as well as dual front airbags and keyless entry. It rides on 17-inch wheels.

The Medium/Line trim level adds front fog lamps and rear parking sensors, as well as roof rails, while inside there’s wood-grain panelling, an uprated stereo and automatic air con. Safety-wise, the Medium/Line gains ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution, and is also fitted with cruise control.

The top level High/Line trim adds leather seats, sunroof and an uprated air con system while also adding a rear differential lock for enhanced off-roadability.

I bought a brand-new GLS SE 2010 Mitsubishi Montero Sport in the Philippines. My query is why Mitsubishi labelled their Mitsubishi sport cars with different names. It should have been a global name, rather than, Montero in the Far East, Pajero in the Middleast or Challenger in Australia. Any reason for that name juggling?

HI To answer your question

Mitsubishi Pajero is named after Leopardus Pajeros a small cat native to Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador.

But Unfortunately Pajero also had another meaning in Spanish.  

Pajero

Spanish slang word meaning 'He who fiddles with himself for sexual gratification'.

(http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Pajero)

So in countries where Spanish may be spoken (like Philippines) it goes by the name Montero.
