Overall Rating
Mitsubishi Pajero Sport:
The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is a body-on-frame mid-size SUV produced by the Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi Motors using the Pajero nameplate since 1996. Based on the Triton pickup truck, the Pajero Sport has spanned over three generations. It is unrelated to the full-size Pajero, which was also built on a Ladder frame chassis until 1999, switching to monocoque thereafter and was discontinued in 2021.
Mitsubishi has formerly used the Mitsubishi Challenger name for the vehicle in Japan and some international markets, but the name was dropped since the third generation in 2015 in favour of the Pajero Sport, Montero Sport, and Shogun Sport nameplates....(Read more on Wikipedia)
