Glimpse of New Mitsubishi Pajero

MANILA: Call it Pajero or Montero, but indeed this SUV in the above teaser looks like some atrocious and hungry Leopard who is waiting behind the dark forests to come on roads in light. The Mitsubishi Group, a Japanese automaker has released this teaser of 2016 Pajero Sport ahead of its planned debut on August 1 at the 2015 Bangkok International Grand Motor Sale Show.

The teaser really does not tell much but it certainly confirms the patent drawings of the same vehicle that already surfaced before. It seems the brand has made its Pajero more upscaled than the outgoing generation. Even though based on Triton, the new model comes with unique front end design with big lower intakes that are framed by a border, which takes a curve around fog lamps and continue till headlights.

Over to the side, it has character lines running on the lower edge and is continued to the rear and front quarter panels as well. The rear has new light cluster with tails that goes till the bottom edge of the tailgate. All this shows that Mitsubishi has taken good efforts to make Pajero bolder so that it can be distinguished from Triton.

Talking about the engines, the actual state will be revealed on August 1 only but it is expected that it will be using 2.5-litre turbo diesel engines that produces two different output, one is 136 PS churner with 324 Nm torque and second is 178 PS of power with 400 Nm of torque.
