Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Facelift (2025) Price & Specs

The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Facelift has touched down in South Africa. Here’s how much you can expect to pay, plus what’s changed?

The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Facelift is a diesel-powered, three-row family SUV which is assembled on a ladder-frame chassis. As a reminder, it is pitched against the Toyota Fortuner, Ford Everest and recently-facelifted Isuzu MU-X.

Mitsubishi Motors SA has been pretty busy on the product front with a new-generation Triton double-cab bakkie and the Outlander Sport which replaces the ASX. The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport facelift enhancements are numerous, with the key changes occurring under the skin, but the most impressive part is the pricing hasn’t changed.

“The latest iteration of Pajero Sport is much more than a facelift, it’s further proof of how we’re recalibrating our entire range in sync with the ever-evolving automotive landscape. In an extremely price sensitive market, we are meeting customer expectations by delivering more value for money whilst entrenching our commitment to reliability, intelligent engineering and no-nonsense quality,” says Jeffrey Allison, General Manager Marketing for Mitsubishi Motor South Africa (MMSA).

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport changes

At the front, the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport facelift gets a revision to its front grille and redesigns to the front and rear under garnishes. There are new-look 18-inch wheels on duty too.

Climb inside the cabin and you’ll spot the new 8-inch fully-digital driver display, redesigned steering wheel which is said to offer a modernised driving feel and the roofliner gets a new black material for what Mitsubishi calls a premium cabin aesthetic.

Standard specification continues to be comprehensive with leather-trimmed seats, dual-zone climate control, sunroof, electronic tailgate, keyless operating system, smartphone pairing, auto levelling dusk-sensing LED headlights, front foglamps, daytime running lights, rain-sensing windscreen wipers, rear park distance control, a rear-view camera to name but a few.

In terms of powertrain, the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport facelift is powered by the 2.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder diesel motor which makes 133 kW and 430 Nm. Power goes to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The four-wheel drive derivatives continue to use the Super Select 4WD-II system with centre differential lock, offroad modes and low-range transfer case.
