Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2017 is a complete frame SUV, the number of which can be counted on the fingers, if not one, then one and a half hands. In the article there is a photo, price, characteristics of the receiver of the legendary SUV.
Review content:
Crossovers, SUVs, hatchbacks off-road- the whole car market is packed with these terms. And now it is customary to call an SUV a car with an electronic imitation of all-wheel drive, with limited slip differentials instead of the good old blocking. There is no longer any talk about the fact that the SUV should be a frame, otherwise it's just words down the drain. And the new Pajero Sport 2017 does not throw such words. It is still based on the platform from the brutal semi-truck L200, which, admittedly, is one of the best in its class. Perhaps it’s worth taking a closer look at the new generation of Pajero Sport, moreover, there’s really something to see.
Design Pajero Sport 2017
Indeed, a new generation. And this is not about a modified bumper, not about a revised clearance or added foglights. The new Pajero, in comparison with the previous generation, looks incredibly modern, aggressive and nimble. The old representative of the Pajeroids looked impressive and solid, but in his forms there was bulkiness and sluggishness, mixed with blatant sluggishness. Yes, of course, the car itself was not like that, but they meet something “according to clothes”, and you can’t argue with that.
And so the designers from the Land of the Rising Sun decided that it was time to change something. For a long time they could not decide what to change and agreed on the opinion that everything should be changed. Something too often the word "change" sounds. Most likely in the company it sounded no less.
So, the new “muzzle” turned out to be really stylish, solid, but at the same time swift and light. This is what the previous generation lacked. At all, new design- this is an excellent occasion for those who like to breed holivar, because there really is something to discuss.
narrow chrome grille radiator, smoothly flowing into the headlights, an abundance of chrome in the front, swollen “cheeks” of the bumper, a sloping hood with big amount sharp lines, a wide air intake in the center and small foglights. The combination here is really beautiful, it could not be better. But there is one thing, but it lies in the bumper. Yes, this is an SUV, yes, it should look brutal and terrify off-road. But it should not look like a dispute between two designers who could not agree on the height of the clearance. The last one, who lost the argument, as if on purpose stuck a completely unnecessary “skirt” on the bottom, covering the cent with a honeycomb grid. It's somehow wrong. The rest of the claims are difficult to pick up. You either like it here or you don't.
In profile, the new Pajero Sport has remained the same giant on huge wheels. It is very clearly visible here how the designers tried to combine the two edges of the hood, the front of which had to be lowered, and the rear raised at least to the level windshield. By the way, the height of the new Padzherik is 1.8 meters. Indeed, a giant.
The database already comes with 18-inch wheels and 265/60 tires. Yes, Pajero Sport almost half a meter less than the cargo co-platformer, however, even wheelbase at 2.8 meters is able to inspire respect. You look at him in profile and think: “This is how it should look real SUV! Indeed, huge wheel arches, which seem to foresee gigantic wheel travels with no less impressive dimensions. You immediately pay attention to the gap between the arches and the edge of the tread. Ground clearance Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2017 is 218 mm. It's hard to find a competitor. For a platform with a body, this value is 205 mm.
If in front and in profile emotions roll on their own, they appear from nowhere, then from behind new SUV jumped up a bit. They no longer roll, they have quieted down somewhere, and all the arguments that the mind brings in the hope of luring x are somehow far-fetched. But the Japanese are not discouraged. They claim that in the dark the new Pajero Sport cannot be confused with any other car, and arguing with them is to be a fool.
The flowing lights seem to be hooked on the asphalt now, pulling the SUV down more and more, and in the end it will go underground. As for the darkness, at this time of day this feeling increases exponentially. The Japanese seem to have taken the new XT5 and thought that they are cooler, they can lower it even lower. And they dropped it. But they couldn't stop in time. Okay, enough about the lights. If you do not pay attention to them, which is very difficult, then you can understand that this is Pajero Sport only by nameplates. No chrome for you, like the front (only the bar of the number), no high cost and style. Everything is simple and neat, but it looks a little clumsy, which repels. Well, the Japanese did not have enough before the end of the picture, it happens to everyone. Many and about the middle is not enough.
Salon Mitsubishi Pajero 2017
Inside, the new Pajero Sport is just as radically different from its predecessor as it is from the front. This is not only due to modern technologies, which the car has acquired, but also an overall increase in comfort and design level.
Most of the previous Padzheriks are a dumb frame SUV (may the owners forgive us), which was created for off-road and its conquest. Nothing superfluous, just something that can really come in handy somewhere in a swamp in the Taiga. But here everything is different.
To start, driver's seat. Let's start with the fact that the driver's seat has become much more comfortable. And the point is not only in the elongated pillow, but in the abundant number of adjustments, by the way, most of them are useless. Most of the details in past generations seemed to have been borrowed from the truck (formally it was), but the manufacturer did not plan to adapt these elements to the interior in any way " cool car". It's bulla is just functionality, plus some (very little) style.
A deep instrument panel with a large display in the center is installed in the center, here on-board computer with so many features that the eyes run wide. Here you have the position relative to the horizon (remember, such a round device on the center console), here is the gyroscope (there), and the fuel consumption, and the remaining fuel. In general, everything you need to know if you are drilling off-road into deep jungle.
However, that's not all. SUV got dual zone climate control, a decent multimedia system, which is completed with navigation. Also, the new Pajero Sport boasts a heated steering wheel and rear seats.
There is a camera activation button on the steering wheel. all-round view, and on the central tunnel there are an abundance of drive control buttons. Yes, it's all electronically activated, but the frame with underdrive and differential locks speaks for itself when needed.
Concerning general comfort, then, according to the Japanese, the noise in the cabin at a speed of 100 km / h decreased by as much as two decibels. If we estimate that the calm breathing of a person is 10 decibels, then the Japanese, as they say, "sucked it out of their finger." Yes, the new 207 Pajero Sport still rides like a truck, it's still designed for places where reliability, flotation and brute strength are needed. The new generation has all this in abundance.
On the back sofa of space - you can, if not in big football, then definitely play mini-football. The size of the trunk in the normal position is 430 liters. If you fold the second row, then you can place an elephant: the free volume is as much as 2500 liters.

Features Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2017
So, it has already been said that the basis of the new SUV is the platform from the L200 pickup truck. However, the new Padzherik surpasses its predecessor in many ways. For example, the depth of the ford to be overcome has increased to 700 mm, which is almost waist-deep for an adult man. The ground clearance has also increased, as discussed above. The angle of entry in the back remained the same, but in front it decreased by 6 degrees (became 30).
Concerning power plant, That old engine was slightly modernized and derated from 222 horses to 209. The Japanese say to increase the resource. Yes, the power has dropped, but the torque has remained almost the same - 279 Nm. For inline six on gasoline excellent result. Consumption on the highway will be 11 liters, in the city about 14.5 liters. On average, consumption fell by 2 liters per 100 kilometers. And this despite the fact that acceleration to hundreds and maximum speed remained almost at the same level as with the old engine. The steering mechanism became with an electric power steering with variable effort, but cardinal changes took place in the transmission.
Now the drives are driven by an eight-speed automatic from Aisin. As center differential installed Torsen, and the torque can be transferred in a ratio of 60:40 in favor of front wheel drive. A multi-plate electromagnetic clutch is installed at the back.
Next year a production is planned in Kaluga this car to the conveyor, where, most likely, another power unit. It will be a diesel 2.4-liter turbodiesel with 4 cylinders and a turbine with variable geometry, at the inlet there is a phase shifter, and the power will be 184 Horse power s. Such a unit is already being installed on a co-platform with a bodywork, which we have already mentioned. The engine torque inspires respect - 430 Nm from the very 1330 rpm and up to 2700. But, these are all plans and dreams, as long as there is only "gasoline".
Price and configuration Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2017
As already mentioned, the SUV with "our" engine comes only with all-wheel drive. There is a huge amount of technology, which is very easy to get confused. So, the configuration and prices of Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2017.
Instyle
The price of a complete set will be 2.8 million rubles. There will be a full bag of pillows, a keyless entry system, rear camera, climate, cruise, LED headlights, standard audio system with changer, leather interior and other nice little things.
Ultimate
Hi-Fi acoustics, an all-round camera, a blind spot monitoring system, a collision avoidance system and other amenities will be added here. The price of the Ultimate package for Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2017 will be exactly 3 million rubles.
Competitors Mitsubishi Pajero 2017
So, at the beginning of the article it was already said that there were not so many “Moors” left. But who can become a specific competitor for the hero of our review?
First of all, this Land Cruiser Prado. But then Padzherik takes one strong argument- price. In addition, it is larger, it is more solid, it does not have such a voracious motor, which, by the way, is enough, as they say, “for the eyes”.
Jeep Wrangler. Yes, the guy is serious, but something Wranglers do not travel around the country. The thing is that this Wranger will go gold for repairs, and many consider it inappropriate to buy it. And if you estimate that the base is half a million more expensive than Padzherik Sport, then everything falls into place.
Kia Mohave . For most, it will be a dull Korean giant, from which you can’t get rid of later. Machine for the ages, only for one owner. Compared to the new Pajero Sport: outdated design, both outside and inside. The price is less, but let's not forget about the stereotypes - it's hard to argue with the Japanese, especially when it comes to frame SUVs.
Haval H9. And this is perhaps the most serious argument. The thing is that this is the same Prado in the old body, but assembled in China, manufactured under license. The list of equipment is impressive, but here's one catch, the body is old. And by this, few people want Chinese Land in an old body for the price of almost a new one. Well, that's all, Pajero Sport on horseback.
Video Mitsubishi review Pajero Sport 2017:
Mitsubishi feels more and more confident in Russia. Not so long ago, the Japanese announced the resumption of production at the plant in Kaluga Pajero Sport, lower prices for an SUV and talked about the return ASX crossover. In addition, the company revised its sales forecast for the Russian market. Instead of the previous 20 thousand cars, the main goal now is to sell 30 thousand cars. "RG" tested the Pajero Sport. The model has become even more popular in our country after the appearance diesel version. It was with such a machine that we decided to get to know each other better.
It seems that the days of frame SUVs are over, the world is ruled by crossovers of various stripes: small, medium-sized, large. But Mitsubishi sees it differently.
Pajero Sport - the front looks original and very brutal, as a car overcoming obstacles should.
Along with the Outlander, the Pajero Sport received an X-shaped Dynamic Shield design. So, massive chrome elements of the front part of the body stand out. The tapered headlights merge with the upper part of the grille, and fog lights sank to the very bottom.
But about how the car looks from behind, a lot of copies have been broken. "flowing down" rear optics not everyone appreciated, considering this decision controversial.
However, appearance frame SUV - this is not the most important thing. Such machines are bought primarily for their off-road capabilities.
But let's look at the interior first. Leather with contrasting stitching, metal and piano lacquer - everything is solid and tasteful. The only pity is that the front panel plastic is harsh. And frankly, there is nowhere to put the phone - there are no corresponding niches.
Everything else can hardly be faulted. I liked the front seats, which received improved lateral support and an elongated leg cushion. During the test, the back did not remind of itself even once.
At the driver's seat, you don’t have to get up to speed for a long time - you can sit comfortably behind the wheel right away. Plus, the Pajero Sport has excellent visibility, so you get used to the car very quickly.
In front, as well as in the back, there is a lot of space - even very large passengers can easily accommodate. Only in the second row it will be boring - there is neither its own outlet nor USB charging slots. In the age of gadgets, this is, of course, an omission. This will be especially acute when traveling long distances.
Trunk volume (almost 700 liters) will please many. The standard equipment includes a mesh for attaching any small things. And it is very useful here - things will not fly around the trunk, and then they will not have to be collected in all corners. There is also a 12 V socket - just right for a car refrigerator.
The diesel Pajero Sport is equipped with a 2.4-liter 4N15 4-cylinder engine. This unit debuted in 2014 on the new generation of the L200 pickup truck. Max Power the motor is 181 hp. at 350 Nm. Installed under the hood additional battery, y petrol versions there is no such.
What is the main advantage of a heavy fuel engine? Peak diesel power is available from 2500 rpm. This will especially please when you decide to test all the abilities of the car off the road. The gas pedal is responsive and allows you to dose the thrust very accurately. In the previous generation, many journalists noticed a clear turbo lag in a diesel engine, this is not the case in the current one.
Yes, and it is traction that can get you out of difficult situations where gasoline engine the car is in danger of stalling. Plus, a diesel engine will indeed be more economical, only 11 liters of diesel fuel per "hundred" in difficult road conditions.
Clearance new Pajero Sport is impressive - 218 mm. Suspension elements, components and assemblies under the bottom are covered with protection, so overcoming obstacles is a pleasure. Yes, and swim "Padzherik" is always ready - the depth of the ford for a car is 70 cm. Impressive numbers!
What about banks, you ask. They exist, but are kept to a minimum. Besides, who told you that a two-ton car with a frame, with a high center of gravity and heavy wheels, can completely eliminate rolls? It just needs to be understood and accepted.
An 8-speed "automatic" allows this giant to feel quite confident in city traffic. The gears shift smoothly, if necessary, the "box" easily shifts to lower ones. At the same time, in motion, the motor picks up perfectly if you want to accelerate. Energy-intensive suspension, any road bumps- It's not a problem.
However, in the city, the SUV looks like an alien, this is clearly not his habitat. Pajero Sport is not for those who travel on the route home-work-home, but on weekends go shopping in shops and malls. If you are not going to knead tons of mud, swim across rivers and overcome ditches and gullies, this car is not for you.
Pajero Sport is one of the best options in this segment. And, of course, you need to stop your choice on a diesel engine. In Russia, it is sold at a price of 2,199,000 rubles. The main competitors of Mitsubishi in our market - Toyota Fortuner and Toyota Land cruiser Prado - offered from 2,599,000 rubles and from 2,199,000 rubles, respectively.
After the presentation in Bangkok on August 1, 2015, the new Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2017 was expected to be seen on the roads of Russia by the summer of this year. The realities turned out to be sadder than forecasts - an off-road vehicle familiar from numerous photos has only recently begun to be exported from Thailand. What makes future owners of the 3rd generation Pajero Sport to place pre-orders, despite the solidly “grown up” cost? 
Inherited from Tritons
The platform for the creation of "Mitsubishi Pajero Sport" 2017 is still a chassis that has long been tested for strength Mitsubishi pickup L200, after modernization, demonstrated on the "Tritons" of the 5th generation. The five-door body turned out to be 90 mm longer than the 2nd generation - the new dimensions of the SUV: length 4785 mm, width 1815 mm, height including roof rails 1805 mm.
The body design, in comparison with its predecessors, has changed quite a lot. On the front-facing photos, the narrow strips of the front LED optics, connected by chrome-plated elements of the false radiator grille, look completely original. The side glazing of the cabin is very different from the 2nd Pajero Sport series. The fresh corporate identity was named Dynamic Shield and was first shown on the updated Mitsubishi Outlander 3 at the end of 2014. 
The interior of the new Pajero Sport, as far as it can be seen in the photo, also largely inherited the features of the extreme generation of the L200 Triton. The main differences are the multifunctional steering wheel with gearshift paddles and the selection of finishing materials. The impression of luxury and comfort leather interior reinforced with chrome inserts. The driver's seat is easily adjusted to any height and complexion due to the adjustable height and angle of the steering column and electric front seats. 
For those who value safety! Additional passive protection for the driver's and passenger seats at Pajero Sport, it provides bodywork according to the RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) scheme. Together with carrier frame reinforced body pillars resist impacts from any direction, including in the event of a rollover onto the roof. The impact energy is extinguished due to the crushing of specially created deformation zones. For the first time such Mitsubishi body used in 1996 on the Galant, in which the role of the frame was performed by a double longitudinal subframe.
Engine and transmission - no options yet
The already poor choice of engines by the start of sales completely disappeared. The news that the new 2017 Pajero Sport is being imported into the Russian market with only one engine option has upset many. But is the time-tested V-shaped “six” with a volume of 2998 cm 3 and a power of 209 hp developed at 6000 rpm so bad? (154 kW)?

It is doubly interesting when in familiar places and in good famous cars you find something new. It seemed to me that the roads winding through the Colchis forests in the vicinity of Sochi, I know thoroughly. And I’m familiar with the SUV: it has been sold here since last year. Things are going sluggishly - so far only 753 cars have been sold. The reason for weak demand is the lack of alternatives gasoline engine: how to beat the Land Cruiser Prado with a voracious three-liter aspirated engine with a capacity of only 209 “horses”?
The main rival is the Land Cruiser Prado with a 2.8‑liter diesel engine (177 hp). Such a Toyota with a gun costs from 2,807,000 rubles. There are still far new Kia Mohave. With a three-liter diesel engine (250 hp) and an automatic machine, it is priced at 2,419,900 rubles. So Pajero Sport, as they say, is on the market.
The 3rd generation Mitsubishi Pajero Sport reached Russia in the summer of 2016, and then it only came with a gasoline engine (which was installed earlier) of 209 hp. s., in April 2017, a version with a 2.4 181 hp Diesel engine came to the Russian market. With.
Pajero Sport 3 generation turned out to be quite solid and original in design. On the road, the car immediately stands out from the stream and the front and rear
In the pre-maximum and maximum configurations, it is installed LED optics.
IN maximum configuration a warning system radar was also installed frontal collision(FCM), hidden in the logo on the grille, to scan the road in front of the vehicle and warn the driver when the distance to the vehicle in front begins to close too quickly.
The system notifies the driver with an audible and visual signal. If the likelihood of a collision increases, the system applies the brakes, prompting the driver to brake. If a collision appears unavoidable, the system automatically applies the brakes in emergency braking to reduce or even prevent a collision (braking function).
And How nice bonus also thanks to the radar on the car implemented adaptive cruise control. It is possible to set the speed and choose the distance to the car in front, and Pajero Sport itself will keep the distance and speed of the car in front without the participation of the driver.
The suspension of the car is just super, all its nodes are attached to the frame and not to the body, and accordingly all the loads go to it, but nothing penetrates into the cabin. Suspension travel and articulation are huge.
The spare wheel is located under the bottom, after all, it is a frame SUV, to get it you just need to turn the winch on which the wheel is attached.
Volume luggage compartment 800 liters, with the seats folded down, the volume will be already 1800 liters. You can transport almost everything in it, the loading height is not so high, it is comfortable to load cargo. There are options in the world with a third row of seats, cup holders in the arch tell us about this, but in Russia this option is not available, since few people will buy it, because the 3rd row is only for children, adults can be put there, but they there will be little comfort. And who usually buys SUVs with three rows of seats, the last row removes and stores somewhere in the garage and uses iml in best case once a year.
Wheels are set to 18 radius, in the last generation they set 17 radius. The front brakes were modified at the car, increasing the diameter brake disc and installing a 2-piston stopping support, the car brakes noticeably better.
There are two engines on the car, a proven 3.0 petrol with 209 horsepower and a new 2.4 diesel with a capacity of 181 horses. These engines are paired with an 8-speed AISIN automatic, with a diesel there is another option for a 6-speed mechanical box gear shifting. It is diesel that is popular with us in Russia. Under the hood of Pajik with diesel engine there are two batteries of 68 a / h, this is a special adaptation for the northern regions. Therefore, you should not be afraid that it will not start in the winter.
The interior of the car is spacious but not so big, this is a fee for the frame, it significantly eats up the interior space, but it eats up absolutely all the bumps that happen on our Russian roads. The driver is comfortable behind the wheel.
The visibility of the car is decent, high commanding position and large mirrors (in the maximum configuration, sensors for monitoring blind spots are additionally installed, information is displayed on the mirror and on the central display).
The steering wheel is now adjustable in 2 planes, in the previous generation only by tilt, now it is convenient to find the optimal position. And has been improved steering rack it has reduced the number of revolutions from 4.3 to 3.8, which greatly simplifies driving in the city when maneuvering and parking, and the turning radius of the car is 5.6 meters, this is very good indicator for an SUV.
The mirrors of the car are well designed and they practically do not get dirty while driving.
The car starts with a button, it is located on the left side (as in real Zhiguli and Porsche cars), which is not usual by modern standards.
Nearby is the mirror control unit.
Below the ESP disable button, parking sensors, and collision systems.
On the center console, under the multimedia system, there are buttons for controlling seat heating, rear cross-axle differential lock, blind spot monitoring systems, steering wheel heating and a cigarette lighter.
The climate control system provides separate temperature control for the driver and passenger, and an air conditioning compressor with increased power, more efficient cooling, cabin filter located in the glove box.
The multimedia system (this one comes in the pre-maximum and maximum configuration) is fully touch-sensitive, the sensor is quite clear. You can connect your smartphone via the CarPlay apps - Apple and Android Auto, make calls, use maps, listen to music and access messages with a single touch or word by activating Siri with your voice via the steering wheel control button. Smartphones must be connected via cables.
The display is very clear.
In the maximum configuration, all-round cameras are installed that display a picture from above the car, there are dynamic stripes and the ability to select one of the cameras. When moving forward, the cameras work at speeds up to 10 km / h and backward constantly when the R position is on.
The main advantage of Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is its transmission Super Select II.
This transmission allows you to drive in rear wheel drive (to save fuel), on the go up to 100 km / h, connect permanent all-wheel drive and use it without restrictions. On the go, you can also turn on the locking of the center differential, but only this must be done on low speeds and on low friction roads. And the last mode is already reduced speed.
Also in this car there is an active traction system with 4 modes.
3 modes work with a locked differential, these are: gravel - it is set by default; dirt/snow; sand.
And the last fourth mode is only available with a lower row transfer box- difficult conditions.
And it is still possible to lock the rear axle differential, only in the mode of locking the axle differential or reduced speed, while the active traction system will be disabled. This mode works at speeds up to 12 km / h, if the speed is higher, then the cross-axle differential is unlocked, and when the speed drops to 6 km / h, it will again lock itself.
Also in the Pajero Sport there is a Hill Descent Control (HDC) Hill Descent Assistance System.
The system is designed to prevent vehicle acceleration when driving downhill on mountain roads. The principle of operation of the system is based on maintaining constant speed when descending by braking the wheels, as well as controlling engine settings. Braking is very gentle, due to this, HDC avoids drift and possible rollover of the car on steep and slippery slopes.
And on all configurations, an electronic parking brake is installed.
Since the car is new to Russian market the Era Glonas emergency call system is already installed on it, the button is located on the ceiling near the glasses storage box. The glasses box itself is just huge, in my opinion you can store not only glasses in it, but even a purse will fit there.
The second row of seats is quite spacious, of course, the landing here is higher than the first row of seats (the frame is to blame), but it is convenient to be here, the backrests are tilt-adjustable, there is an armrest with cup holders. And for passengers there is a two-stage heated seats. The buttons are located on the doors next to the niches for storing drinks.
And one more important point, Pajero Sport protects its passengers well enough so that they do not get dirty when boarding and disembarking, the doorway is clean, all the dirt remains on the plastic door lining.
For passengers of the second row, there is a control unit for the intensity of blowing the ceiling deflectors, it is combined with the rear row lighting dome.
The car turned out to be quite interesting, since November 2017, Pajero Sport 3 was again assembled at the PSMA RUS plant in Kaluga, which means that the price tag for it will be pleasant for the consumer.
