Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Design and technology

Because sharing a platform with the Strada Triton, Pajero Sport outer appearance is quite similar to his brother, especially on the front. In terms of looks, Pajero Sport looks more "stylish" than the Fortuner, especially Everest. Design Pajero more "sweet" and modern, which combined a pair of muscular fenders. In addition, the Pajero fitted roof rails and foot step to facilitate female passengers climbed into the cabin. Home side rearview mirror is also wrapped to chrome accents add a luxurious impression.

Dimensions looks more compact, but more width when compared to Everest (1788 mm), and shorter than Fortuner (1850 mm). With a length of 4695 mm, width 1815 mm, height 1840 mm and 2800 mm wheelbase, Pajero Sport as an estate that stands tall. 215 mm ground clearance enough to traverse the heap of stone, soil, and even puddles in the streets when the city was flooded.

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Interior

Pajero Sport pamper riders through the meter cluster is attractively designed and equipped with back-lit meters which gives the appearance of luxury and easy to read. The system used is capable of playing audio and imbued CD/MP3/WMA USB port. Meanwhile, the steering wheel has been equipped with audio switch controls which can be used adjust the volume, track selections, and sound mode controls.

Pajero Sport cabin feels quite comfortable thanks to the wrapping material for leather seats. Leg and head room is also quite a relief, both in the front, middle, and rear. Luggage space is available quite widely. And there is enough extra space behind the third row seat. We can save a few items covered under the floor cover floor. If the baggage is still deemed less roomy, we can pull the lever in the middle of each row seat to fold it. Mitsubishi claims, reached 866 liter trunk capacity when the third row seats folded and 1649 liters with the third and second row seats folded.

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Performance

The heart pacemaker is still using a model that had already been used Strada Triton, which is 2.5 liter, DOHC, turbodiesel intercooler, with common-rail technology. Power 136 hp at 3500 rpm and 314 Nm of torque at 2000 rpm. Power and torque are channeled into the two rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic trasnmisi INVECS-II.

For power and torque, the Pajero Sport came in second place after the Ford Everest (143 hp and 330 Nm). While the Fortuner was in a position protruding (102 hp and 260 Nm). Despite weighing nearly 2 tons, the performance of the proffered Pajero Sport sufficient. Acceleration 0-100 kpj, finished in 16.3 seconds (14.6 seconds Everest). Acceleration 0-402 meters with a time of 20.6 seconds achieved by speed of 113.8 kpj.

UK Police Forces to Employ Mitsubishi i-MiEV, Speed Criminals Rejoice...

UK Police Forces to Employ Mitsubishi i-MiEV, Speed Criminals Rejoice...


While police officers in the States are getting ready to welcome the 2011 Chevrolet Caprice, in the UK the boys in blue -well, at least some of them- will soon be cracking down crime with the help (?) of Mitsubishi's all-electric i MiEV. The five-door micro car was showcased in full police livery at the National Police Show in September and according to the Japanese automaker, since then the company has been swamped with requests from UK Police Forces to trial the i MiEV.

Mitsubishi said that the first production versions of the i-MiEV are set to arrive in the UK in November 2009 and will be on the road in December 2009, with West Midlands Police being the first department to run the all-electric micro car in full operational use.

The four-seat, bubble-shaped i-MiEV gets an electric motor that makes 47kW / 64HP and 180Nm (132.8 lb-ft) of peak torque. Power is delivered to the rear-wheels with Mitsubishi claiming a range of 100 miles and a top speed of 81mph (130km/h).

Certainly not the best choice if you're trying to pursue someone but we gather that the i-MiEV will most likely be used by urban cops for light tasks.

2010MY Mitsubishi Pajero SUV gets More Powerful Diesel Engine

Mitsubishi's European division has launched the 2010MY Pajero, which is also known as the Shogun and the Montero in some markets in Europe as well as other parts of the world. The minor model year facelift brings a prepped up version of Mitsubishi's 3.2-liter inline four turbo diesel engine that now makes 200HP and 441Nm or 325 lb-ft of torque, up from 160HP and 381Nm respectively.

2010 Mitsubishi PajeroDespite the 25 percent increase in performance, Mitsubishi claims that along with the introduction of a new 5-speed automatic transmission, the 2010 Pajero 3.2-liter DI-D achieves greater fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions compared to the outgoing model.

In particular, the combined consumption of the Pajero 3-door with a 5-speed manual gearbox has been reduced from 9.2 to 8.5 lt/100km with corresponding C02 emissions of 224g/km, down from 244g/km while the Pajero 5-door with the new auto box consumes on average 9.6 lt/100km instead of 10.6lt/100km.

Furthermore, the new Pajero 3.2 DI-D's towing capacity has been increased from 2,800kg to 3,000kg in the three-door model and from 3,300kg to 3,500 kg in the five-door version.

Other improvements for the 2010 model year include a thicker windshield and additional insulation that help reduce noise levels, new 17- and 18-inch alloy wheel designs and an upgraded version of Mitsubishi's Multi Communication System (MMCS) with a disk capacity of 40GB.

Shanghai Clone Wars: Landwind X8 vs Mitsubishi Outlander

Shanghai Clone Wars: Landwind X8 vs Mitsubishi Outlander

There are clones and there are clones. While some come pretty close such as Lifan Motors' effort to give birth to a five-door MINI Cooper, other like Jiangling Motors's Landwind X8 that made its debut at the Shanghai Show this week, is a dead ringer for Mitsubishi's Outlander. For those of you with a weak memory, China's Landwind became known for being the first Chinese automaker to enter the European market with the SUV that spectacularly failed a crash test carried out by the ADAC, Germany's largest auto club.

But you still haven't heard the best part of the story; according to the Landwind, the X8 will be offered with two engines: a common-rail turbo diesel from Italy's VM Motori that develops 140HP and 350Nm of torque and -get this- a Mitshubishi sourced, 2.4-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine with 150HP!

Sales of the Landwind X8 are to start in China during the second half of the year.

Mitsubishi Outlander GT Shows its EVO-Inspired Fascia in New York

Mitsubishi Outlander GT Shows its EVO-Inspired Fascia in New York

Pride and joy of Mitsubishi's stand at the New York Auto Show is the new Outlander GT Prototype which essentially provides us with the first look of the stylistic updates that the Japanese firm is readying for its compact crossover. And by this we basically mean the Lancer EVO cloned inspired front end design that gives the Outlander a much more aggressive appearance than the current model.

Mitsubishi Outlander GT Prototype CarscoopAside from the EVO's signature 'Jet Fighter' grille and the reshaped Bi-Xenon headlamps, the Outlander Prototype also sports several other new design elements, such as a reshaped front bumper, side mirrors, fenders and hood, a new rear bumper and side sills, plus a new polished finish on the aluminum roof panel.

Complementing the exterior changes, the GT's cabin has been refreshed with the addition of grained synthetic leather with contrasting double stitching, new chrome accents plus a few EVO-inspired design cues like the aluminum sport pedals and the new three-spoke steering wheel.

Mitsubishi Outlander GT Prototype CarscoopThe New York Show Outlander GT prototype also features a series of upgrades under the hood with the 3.0-liter V6 engine benefiting from improvements that include a reduction in intake restriction plus optimized camshaft timing and compression ratio. The changes result to a 10 horsepower bump for a total of 230HP while Mitsubishi claims that the V6's torque curve has also been improved. The prototype model features an upgraded shifting program and Idle Neutral Logic for the automatic transmission.

However, the most significant change concerns the adoption of the Lancer EVO X's 'Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) system that uses an active front limited-slip differential and an electronically contorlled 4WD coupling for improved handling, traction and stability. Furthermore, Mitshubishi has upgraded the Outlander with shorter and stiffer suspension, larger Brembo brakes and a set of 19-inch O.Z. racing wheels.
