Mitsubishi Thailand has unveiled the updated 2024 Pajero Sport in Bangkok. It’s basically our current Montero Sport but with a new look and a few upgrades.

It has a new hexagonal front grille and redesigned front and rear bumpers. It also sits on new 18-inch alloy wheels.

The interior was likewise given some stylized changes.

It now has two-tone diamond-pattern leather seats that provide eight-way power adjustment with driver lumbar support, and a new multifunctional steering wheel with paddle shifters identical to that on the Triton.

Added accessories include a new eight-inch digital driver’s display, an eight-speaker Mitsubishi Power Sound System, and a 12.1-inch roof-mounted monitor with smartphone connectivity for rear passengers to enjoy.

It also gets a more powerful 2.4-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine (4N16) with 181hp and 430Nm—179hp for the previous 4N15—and a new six-speed automatic transmission. Four off-road modes are still available via the Super Select 4WD-II system for models equipped with it.

The Pajero Sport is available in 4WD and 2WD variants, with prices starting at 1,389,000 baht (P2,157,000). We’re hoping this model will make its way to our shores within the year.
