WE’RE BIG FANS OF Mitsubishi’s large SUV, the Pajero Sport. It’s an honest, down-to-earth large SUV that meets the needs of plenty of people. So the updated Pajero Sport should prove to be even more popular.
“The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport continues to elevate Australian adventures, bringing reliability and value to the large SUV segment,” said Mitsubishi Motors Australia CEO, Shaun Westcott.
“This family-friendly vehicle features several key specification updates for the 2023 model year, ensuring it continues to be the vehicle of choice for those wanting to drive on or off road, with two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive models,” he said.
The 23MY Pajero Sport range will arrive in dealerships from April, 2023.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System added to Pajero Sport GLS and above
A new Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) has been added as standard equipment to Pajero Sport GLS and above grades.
Available in GLS 4×2 and 4×4, as well as Exceed and GSR models, Mitsubishi’s TPMS alerts the driver via a dashboard warning when a tyre falls below a pre-defined pressure. This pressure can be independently set by the driver to suit the terrain or conditions at hand.

Proven performance
