Sporting a bold new look, the new Mitsubishi Pajero Sport looks nothing like the Triton it’s based on. LED daytime running lights in the shape of light bars does give the Pajero Sport an upmarket appeal, while the large chrome surrounds on the front grille give it an unmistakable identity. The rear end is also new, with an almost triangular rear light that “flows” to the bumper. A very unique design, we must say.

No word on powertrain as yet, but do expect the new Pajero Sport to carry over the same engine as the new Triton locally, which is a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder engine with an intercooled Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT).

With an official debut slated for early next month, this year will be interesting, as Toyota will be launching the new Fortuner very soon, while Ford has already launched the new Everest. It will only be a matter of time before the battle commences locally. Which of these SUVs do you guys prefer?
