Pajero Sport gets updated for 2023

MITSUBISHI has announced a bevy of minor updates to its Pajero Sport large SUV range.

 

Entering production next month and available in dealerships from April, the MY23 Pajero Sport range will see tyre pressure monitoring fitted as standard to two- and four-wheel drive GLS, Exceed and GSR grades, while new colour options will also feature.

 

Additionally, the Japanese importer says it will continue to offer the Deluxe Package on GLS variants.

 

Offered as part of the grade walk, the pack includes front power seat adjustment, leather upholstery, door card and console lid trims, 360-degree camera tech and steering-wheel-mounted camera activation switch on top of those features found on the GLS grade.

 

For MY23 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport GLS and Exceed variants, the Impulse Blue paint colour is returned to the palette for the first time since 2021.

 

GSR variants add a new two-tone colour option dubbed Terra Rossa, which arrives with a contrasting black roof, while GSR trim continues to feature a suite of black accents including 18-inch wheels, bonnet emblem, front and rear bumper garnish, grille, tailgate badging and rear spoiler.

 

The expanded colour range takes the number of hues available on the Pajero Sport range to nine, which now includes White, Sterling Silver, Graphite Grey, Terra Rossa, Black Mica, Impulse Blue (new), White Diamond, White Diamond with Black roof, and Terra Rossa with Black roof (new).

 

Interior finishes are unchanged for 2023 with black cloth offered on GLX and GLS variants and synthetic leather on GLS Deluxe, Exceed and GSR variants.

 

The Pajero Sport range has increased in price by between $500 and $1000, depending on variant, now beginning at $44,940 plus on-road costs. Mitsubishi will continue to offer the Pajero Sport range with a trio of bundled accessory packs:

All variants are covered by Mitsubishi’s 10-year warranty (five years if servicing is not done at a Mitsubishi dealer) and capped-price servicing program.
