Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM), the official distributor of Mitsubishi Motors vehicles in Malaysia will be introducing the new Mitsubishi Pajero Sport VGT, a new variant of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport in September.

The new variant of the Pajero Sport is set to offer a more powerful engine, advanced technology and safety features. 

The Pajero Sport VGT 2.5-litre Common Rail diesel engine will be fitted with a new powerhouse management that includes Variable Geometric Turbocharger, boosting power and torque to a significantly higher level respectively.

The Variable Geometric Turbo (VGT) technology uses variable vanes to control exhaust flow against the turbine blades, ensuring a constant delivery of additional fresh air to the engine for optimum output and performance. 

With an estimated price of RM 173, 000, the new Pajero Sport variant will be sold alongside the Pajero Sport GS 4WD and Pajero Sport GL 2WD, offering a wider option for customers.

The Pajero Sport is one popular sport utility-vehicle, with over 3,000 units sold in Malaysia since its introduction in Malaysia in 2009. The seven-seater Pajero Sport – which counts space, ride comfort, robustness, economy and a Dakar Rally heritage as its strengths – has been a serial winner. 

The Pajero Sport GS 4X4 variant won the Large SUV award from Autocar ASEAN in 2009 and the GL variant has done the same for 2010, impressing the judges by being “large, spacious, hardy and equipped with modern diesel engines”. It also took home the Large SUV champion at the NST/Maybank Car of the Year Awards 2009.

Mitsubishi Motors is the most successful manufacturer in Dakar Rally history, and this heritage of performance and robustness is built into the Pajero Sport.

Mitsubishi Motors has a long history in motor sports, including a record-breaking 7th consecutive victory at the Dakar Rally in 2007. Mitsubishi Motors has achieved an unequalled 12 overall victories in 25 years, a track record that is reflected in the performance and quality of the Mitsubishi Motors vehicles.
