Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2022: versatile vehicle with noteworthy off-road potential.

The new model of the mid-size SUV Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2022 offers a harmonious combination of premium passenger car comfort with the full-fledged driving potential of an all-wheel drive off-road vehicle.

According to independent experts, a compact jeep with a frame platform, a modified body design, a modified interior and edited parameters of the chassis can take high ranking positions at the start of sales.

The advantages of the new version of the Pajero Sport model in demand in the world market of 2022 include the latest materials and technologies, successfully implemented layout and design solutions.

Restyling also had a positive effect on the efficiency of the standard technical and electronic component systems, and on the efficiency of power units.

Exterior

In the photo in all four projections, the novelty looks stylish, expressive and as presentable as possible. Front end construction attracts attention:

stepped contour relief of the engine compartment cover;

massive silver lamellas of the ventilation duct and textured mesh of the radiator cladding;

interesting three-level design of multifunctional blocks of frontal xenon or in top configuration — LED optics.

The layout of the front end also includes a narrow ribbed bumper profile and a protective and decorative panel of a narrow plastic body kit, which is characteristic of a high cross-country vehicle.

In profile, the new body demonstrates:

contrasting combination of silver roof rails and lower window semi-perimeter with black matte finish of two wide vertical pillars;

decorative chrome plating of mirrors and door handles recessed into the body;

longitudinal profiles of stepped body relief and protruding wheel arches with a signature pattern of 18-inch aluminum composite rims.

In the structural and layout properties of the rear side of the body, one should note the slight slope of the panoramic window, the original configuration and graphics of the parking lights, the decorative strip, the brand logo and the stepped reliefs of the large-format tailgate.

When viewed from the rear, the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2022 is also identified by the silver bezel of the fog lamps and three square cutouts of the rear body kit.

The large-caliber exhaust trunks brought out under the bottom of the trunk are not visible from the top view.

The peculiarity of the body design of the new Pajero Sport is the absence of external brutality typical for SUVs.

Despite the large number of functional and decorative elements of the aggressively sporty style, the visual perception of the Pajero SUV of the Sport series is generally positive.

Interior

Futuristic notes are seen in the design of the salon interior, front panel configuration, ergonomics of five comfortable and comfortable seats.

Natural leather, good-quality and beautiful plastic, a large number of decorative expressive accents of polished metal prevail in the interior decoration.

The arched configuration of the analog-digital instrument panel fits into the upper sector of the four-spoke multifunction steering wheel with two blocks of command buttons.

Located between the vertical ventilation deflectors, the digital display combines media and entertainment functionality with touch activation of on-board systems.

The complete set of new items — advanced output characteristics of multimedia equipment, driving systems and active safety.

The design of the tunnel includes in its list a rocker of a five-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed automatic transmission with a compact joystick, cup holders, a travel mode switch, and an extended list of organizers.

The soft armrest also serves as a cover for the refrigerator compartment.

The front seats will delight motorists with lateral support, extended ranges of operational adjustments, cooling circuits and heated seats.

The minimum boarding and road service of the rear sofa is compensated by the spaciousness and large volumes of individual space for each of the three riders.

The convertible sofa allows the 700-liter boot volume in the luggage compartment to be increased to 1800 liters. The full-size spare wheel is mounted on an external sling under the bottom of the compartment.

The fourth generation model is based on the advantages of a modular platform from the extreme version of the L200 pickup, with a multi-link front axle suspension and a spring — continuous rear axle.

The traction characteristics of the standard 2.4-liter turbodiesel 181hp / 430 N • m have been substantially improved.
