Spied: Next generation Mitsubishi Pajero Sport

The Pajero Sport is currently the only model that Mitsubishi offers in India. Monthly sales continue to remain in the early triple digits and the most recent update to the SUV was the addition of an automatic transmission. Now, fresh images of the next generation Pajero Sport have surfaced.

The heavily camouflaged test mule was spotted in Australia and leaves a lot to the imagination. Styling cues include a strong definition line along the side, sleek headlamps and possibly restyled tail lamps as well. In Australia, the Pajero Sport is named the Challenger and shares its design cues with the Triton pick-up truck. The Triton recently received a refresh, which is why it is being speculated that the new Pajero Sport will feature a similar look.

The spy shots come in at an opportune time as Toyota is developing the next generation Fortuner, while Ford will launch the all new Endeavour. Mechanical changes to the new Pajero Sport can only be speculated for now, but Mitsubishi could use the new Triton's 2.4-litre engine that makes 181 BHP and 437 Nm of torque. The SUV is currently offered with a 2.5-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine that makes 176 BHP and 350 Nm of torque.
