The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is a rugged wagon that is very good off road but comfortable – and easy to drive – on the road. There are five-seat and seven-seat versions, both offering excellent fuel economy from a modern diesel engine and an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
Pros Excellent value for money, auto braking as standard
Cons Relatively cosy cabin, poor third-row head room
Mitsubishi has given its Pajero Sport large 4WD an update for the 2020 model year, adding further ammunition with which to battle the Ford Everest, Isuzu MU-X, Toyota Fortuner, and Holden Trailblazer. Like the MY19 Triton ute upgrade (the Pajero Sport shares much of the pickup's running gear), the revised SUV looks tougher thanks to its 'dynamic shield' grille and headlight combination, higher bonnet, and new running lights and bumpers.The polarising old vertically-arrayed tail lights have been reduced in size and the bumper made larger. The alloy wheel design is new, and side steps are apparently slightly higher-mounted to bolster ground clearance.
Pros Fun to drive, fun to look at, practical enough. Excellent range and charging. A Very Good electric car
Cons It’s a bit big - you have to think full-size SUV when parking - could be a bit odd-looking for some, not exactly cheap
Pros Stylish design inside and out Good to drive Fast charging and clever vehicle-to-load tech
Cons Firmer ride than some alternatives Rear visibility isn't great The boot could be larger
Pros More stylish than most mainstream EVs, athletic and refined driving behavior, comfy and roomy inside.
Cons Infotainment system has some drawbacks, lacks game-changing driving range, small front trunk space.
