A look at the Pajero Sport 2015

The 2015 Pajero Sport should be described as a utility vehicle that will be the testimony of its class. In this article, we will discuss about the salient features of this Mitsubishi creation. If you are planning to bring this new version of the vehicle to your garage, this discussion is sure to help you.

The company has made this version of the Pajero Sport more attractive and distinctive by giving it an outstanding new face. The rear of the car has also been improved. You now have an adventurous rear end equipped with LED taillights and a much longer rear end. In short, the unit looks more attractive than ever.

The best thing about the aforementioned changes is that they haven’t interfered with the vehicle’s off-road capability. Mitsubishi has kept the car’s ground clearance unchanged; it still has a ground clearance of 218mm. The Japanese automaker hasn’t altered the new Pajero Sport’s departure, ramp angles, and drag approach, either. According to the company, those SUV features are already class-leading.

If you are wondering if you can take your new Pajero Sport everywhere, rest assured. Tests in Japan showed that this Mitsubishi creation will deliver great performance on all types of terrain. The main feature responsible for making the Pajero Sport an off-road car is its generous suspension linkage and space under the body.

Now let’s talk about the most important feature of any car, its engine. This unit has borrowed its engine from the Mk5 Triton. To be more precise, the car is equipped with the Japanese firm’s newest 2.4L MIVEC 4N15 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine. The engine is capable of generating a power of 133 kilowatts at 3,500 revolutions per minute and a torque of 430 Nm at 2,500 revolutions per minute.

The vehicle’s braked towing capacity has been increased. Before it was 3000 kg and now the company has increased it by 100 kg. The car’s curb weight has also been increased by 70 kg, which means that the car now weighs 2070 kg without any passengers or luggage in it. Despite increasing the SUV’s curb weight, the automaker has managed to keep it lighter than most of its rivals. Rival vehicle models such as Fortuner, Everest and Colorado weigh 2,135 kg, 2,495 kg and 2205 kg respectively.

Mitsubishi says the Pajero Sport’s fuel economy and CO2 emissions have also improved. Only time can tell if these claims made by the Japanese company are true.
