February 7: Mitsubishi Pajero Sport update imminent

An update for the 2024 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport off-road SUV is imminent.

4X4 Australia understands the updated Mitsubishi Pajero Sport will feature exterior design revisions and interior enhancements, with first arrivals due in Australia around April.

Dealer information seen by 4X4 Australia confirms the model-year 2024 Pajero Sport will adopt a new ‘QG’ model code to replace the ‘QF’ model currently in runout.

It will remain available in GLX, GLS, Exceed and GSR variants.

The updated model will not be based on the new 2024 Mitsubishi Triton platform, with the next-generation Pajero Sport not due until some point in 2025 at the earliest.

While the exact changes are unknown, revisions could include new bumpers and alloy wheels, an updated infotainment system similar to the latest Outlander and Triton, and features already available overseas – such as a sunroof or a Rockford Fosgate audio system.

Some active safety features, such as lane-change assist, blind-spot alert and rear cross-traffic alert, could also be standardised for lower-spec variants in line with the Outlander and Triton.

The updated Pajero Sport will continue to feature the 133kW/430Nm 2.4-litre ‘4N15’ single-turbo four-cylinder diesel and 3.1-tonne braked towing capacity shared with the outgoing Triton, though the engine is mated to an eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission.

Indonesian production switch for some Mitsubishi Pajero Sports

As Mitsubishi prepares to launch the updated Pajero Sport, production has temporarily shifted from Thailand to Indonesia for the GLX 4x4 variant to reduce supply delays, with a plan to return to Thailand for all variants in due course.

There are no specification changes for the Indonesian-built GLX 4x4 variant.

It follows a shipment of Toyota Fortuner vehicles – a direct rival to the Pajero Sport – imported from Indonesia that arrived in 2022, while the 2005-17 Suzuki APV and the 2012 Nissan Micra were also built in the Southeast Asian nation for the Australian market.
