The Pajero sport looks a bit more refined, but I prefer the boxy shape of the old Pajero, and the old-school SUV looks.
I agree
PAJERO great all round 4WD. I've taken my 25th Anniversary edition Pajero every where and it has never failed me.
I am a former owner of a Mitsubishi Pajero and Nativa having just returned from Kuwait where I owned and drove both for the past 15 years. I was very happy with both vehicles and look forward to owning a new Pajero in Canada next year.
I'm on my second Pajero and like everything about the vehicle with the possible exception that, when towing a heavy camper, the rear tyres wear faster than solid axles that I have owned.
The 3.2 turbo diesel is a real beauty, switching from 2x4 to 4x4 on the fly is a nice feature for a bloke that lives down a dusty gravel road. And the fuel economy of around 9.5L/100kms isn't too bad at all.
Sad to not see Mitsubishi not continuing with the real Pajero as the Sport just fails to interest me in any department.
Sure man. The pajero is a good car. But the pajero sport can do anything what you said. I would say its more fuel effecient. Unless you are an american. If you had one you wouldnt say this. This Sport just towed a 3 ton trailer. He went to many offroad paths worldwide. He is my travelling buddy. I am sad that the pajero stopped making. Aswell as Lancer. But they just have to keep going right?
Sad I love the pajero shogun. Please Mitsubishi keep the shogun going like the marcedez G class keep the design but upgrade the technology.
Me too honestly
I own a new pajero sport, but I love the old pajero because of its rugged looks and designed for real off-roading.
There is only 1 true Pajero - the old school boxy Pajero!😆😆😆
ummm no, the second generation is much better, the third just improves on that, the forth is meh
@@jonathanlucas4848 I love our 2017 Pajero sport 🔥
😂😂😜
finally someone dares to do a head to head honest review rather than another car commercial !!
I love the regular Pajero, in particular the SWB version. I'd be very disappointed if Mitsubishi stopped making it!
lapamful on the bright side they'll be cheaper to buy. You can maintain cars for a long life, don't need new ones if you like any old models
Me two
Me to
Well here we are 2022. It was discontinued since 2021. True offroaders in its genuine form.
I have the NT Pajero and by far is the best car I've owned. Incredibly reliable, and will go just about anywhere I point it (the twin lockers, lift and offroad tyres do help of course). The Sport has great low range gearing (better than the Pajero), hill decent control and even smarter traction control. While the 8-speed auto must be a nice thing, the Asin 5-speed in the Pajero is bullet proof - there is a reason why Mitsi were comfortable giving a 10 year (yes 10) warranty on the drive train.
When I purchased my second Pajero, the 10 year warranty was definitely a deciding factor in the decision over a Prado.
I like the old generations more because they look premium for those days,also they were more capable,had a solid rear axle and more simplicity
The old style pajero looks great. Still a winner and more sure footed on the rougher terrain.
Agreed
But spare parts is a problem
It does
im from Morocco I like your videos you have such a beautiful country
They should bring back the old design with new engine...Just like this old design...more..more..more... Beautiful..in the eyes of many....as I heard all over the place.
I love Pajero! Driven Pajero 1, 2 and 3. Great cars. Pajero Sport is not my thing.
I agree
Me to.
I personally prefer the old school off-road style one to pajero sport:]
I'm a new proud owner of a Pajero Exceed 2017 and test drove the sports and the GLX and loved them both and I'm a small person so the sports leg room didn't worry me but did to my partner as he didn't like the console. I chose the Exceed over the sports as it felt more sturdy and smoother in power for towing a 2 Horse Angle float, but so glad I bought this now as they might be extinct soon.
mus1c4m3 we did too!
lmao the pajero and pajero sport can both be exceeds..your statement is invalid..pajero models are GLX GLS and exceed paj sport is the same
Just bought a 3.6 V6 2020 Pajero in the Middle east still on sale
I'm in Riyadh... It's still in offer.... Can I contact you to know more details...
We thought we would look at a pajero sport, got in it and straight away realised its just to small and compact. We bought an nx gls which we absolutely love. It may be old design but it feels big but a breeze to drive and the 5spd auto is very smooth.
It's nice and decent but you should have gotten the prado rather lol. Although it's aged too, it's also better in almost all aspects especially in terms of power and refinement plus equipped with modern features.
I wish USA would sell these - the little diesels are awesome. And both look modern, equipped well, priced right and look pretty good off road. Come on Mitsubishi, sell us the good stuff, not the front drive grocery soccer mom units...
Thanks for the review. I had wondered what the sport was like. I'll stick to the real Pajero I think. I am not also all that keen on the unnecessary lines on the sport
I'm still prefer the Original one
I barely can understand what you are saying! Put subtitles please!
you do know he's Australian right???
Haha me too but I sorta understand
I still have the 04 Gen. The best suv I've ever owned
I feel a lot of people got used to the big boat cars. I own the previous generation triton (2006 curved shape) and even though I'm over 6ft I don't feel cramped.
I want to push my triton to 400hp so I might pillage the pajero 3.2 and fit it with diesel treatment to push it into euro 6. I love the large pajero steering wheel also more than the outlander wheel
I own a Paj Sport mid range 5 seater.i recently went and viewed the original Pajero shape with a tape measure and beleive it or nor the Paj Sp has more room in almost all areas.i do still find it a tad narrow however.still a great car
Absolutely not....
No i just made it up hey@waza3350
Guy's the video is great but we can barely understand what you are saying. Your voice needs to be clearer in order for people to understand your comments. Keep up the good job with better voices
i understood every word they said, i think its you not their voice
M F I agree maybe English is not his first language.
I don't understand either.
stendec Stretcher Australian is his first language
Yeah I thought he's rapping lol
Im shocked Mitsubishi hasn't tried to market it here in North America given how truck and SUV crazy its been here lately. What do ALL carmakers want right now? a 7 seat crossover, and Mitsubishi has one, but not here. Then again, I kinda feel like they've generally given up in North America so maybe its just a case of "meh"
cmiiw, but ive heard that mitsubishi currently focusing on the southern-hempsphire market only because they cant compete with the other "japanesse big-brands" such as toyota,honda,nissan in northen-hempshire market
You forgot Mazda.
they market the outlander there. that keeps some of the suv shoppers happy. so they don't have a complete vacuum in NA market.
Montero sport is not a crossover. It wouldnt do so great. It is a body on frame true 4x4 offroader.
Jose M it’s the perfect competitor to the Toyota 4Runner (since the Nissan Xterra has bene discontinued).
I love the old school Shogun.
My dads got a pajero 2015 love it
It would have been interesting to see both vehicles try to drive back up that muddy slope, I doubt either one would have made it but I would like to have seen how they fared. I suspect that being heavier the 'proper' Pajero would have done better.
I'm about to have my PS gasoline engine in 1 more week. I've done lots of researches and 3 drive tests, 2 of them off road. I prefered PS over Toyota Fortuner. PS gives a better ride sensation. Cheers!
Well... having watched this I guess I can search other youtube videos for a proper test.
My first 3.5NM 2001.. 480,000 km never missed a beat,should have kept it. 2012 NW 3.2 220,000 km zero problems Think I will buy another soon before they go the way of the Dodo. Prior I has 2 x Landcruiser Wagons with 4.5, I had a Nissan Shorty with te 3 litre petrol, also had a 1980 Cruiser Tray Back all good vehicle. I am a bit rough on vehicles however I run fully synthetic oil and keep em clean and well maintained
Still love the mighty Pajero. Will take is little brother as well.
I have a 2015 Pajero....I agree that what I really want is the engine and the gearbox of the sport.....not enough reason to ditch the present truck for the new one
Pajero will go down as a legend.
A polite debate at the end.
The wife has the Paj sport and I have the NT Paj . Prefer my Nt as it feels roomier and I’m not hitting my knee on the centre console like I do in the sport , also both are rated to tow my caravan however the Nt has a much more stable feel on the rd , I guess when the time comes to pass the Nt to my daughter then I’ll probably look at a cruiser or Patrol
Honestly, after doing some test drives on both of those Pajeros, the original Pajero beats the Sport model. I choose Pajero cos it still has it's charm and looks good, even though it still looks the same since late 2006...go old Pajero!!!
What model was the noisiest and wich one was the most comfortable in term of suspension ?
I do love the new sport, however its a shame they're ditching the original
Good honest review thank you.
first the Evo and now the Paj... wtf Mitsubishi!!!!
The end of Mitsubishi as we know it
Japanese SUVs have very good quality with reasonable prices ... !!!
But ugly looks 😪
Leres mas
guys which one is better for offroading specialy steep dunes pajero 4 3.8 or pajero sport 3.0 ?
Pajero 4th generation with 3.8 + new off-roading capaiblity.
I test drove Pajero Sport and a Prado, I liked drivability of Pajero over Prado for some reason
Pajero is more fun to drive
You guys make nice reviews, love to watch them..
Im just gonna pick both, cuz both is so handsome😍
The Pajero is the REAL Pajero. The Pajero Sport was originally called Challenger based of a Triton Ute so it's NOT really a Pajero.
Both are great 👍
I like the PS
it's mitsubishi i love
do you have to be so vague? the title is Pajero vs Pajero, I actually want to know which one is better off-road/on-road, etc.. like actually say "the sport is better off-road and this is why, etc.." This was borderline useless.
I have Montero sport or pajero sport and its fun to drive...
it doesn't matter if you have a Australian accent as long as you speak clearly.
So well explained.
I'll take the pagero over the Sport without a doubt (not in white).
The sport has too much curves and details and ... it is just not a very pretty car.
Be the biggest mistake mitsubishi make to stop the pajero /shogun
In talks with Nissan to co-develop the new model, looks to be possible platform sharing with new Patrol
Plant fitter Mobile Repair agree
Totally agree. I cant decide what to buy next. Defiantly wont be new Paj!
Plant fitter Mobile Repair
@mitsubishi please don't stop the pajero
Abdullah Mohammed They are in Talk to Launch a New Montero by 2020
Great review
The sports is just to refined makes it look like a city car and not a off road car I’m sure the specs are great but you can’t beat the original
Bad audio, barely hear him with the music.....
Took the Pajero sport for a test drive, if you 6”3”/193cm or taller, save the time and don’t bother, the stupid plastic flare from the centre console will chew up leg space and make it impossible to drive. No idea why they put it there. Got the Pajero instead
Pajero has a lot of head room, more than prado.
I have the NT Pajero, very reliable get decent fuel economy with diesel. Pajero sport looks like a, Triton with, a hardtop bit lazy Mitsubishi took that, approach. Off road pajero is very good, just get yourself a, decent set of all terrains and some basic recovery gear and can go almost anywhere.
Old school pajero design is the best
i own a 2015 pajero 3.5 v6 engine its nice and comfortable i dont like the montero or pajero sport its really small inside and cant move much
I own a Pajero 2008
.. I
I wouldn't trade it for anything
The old school is still the winner.
Great and we need and wish videos in Real Best 8K 60fps HDR10+ resolution clarity quality and Sound in full HD 3D Stereo Surround , Soon Please,
Pajero rocks!!!
Have my gen 4 14 years. Brilliant machine
I don't get why these two aren't here in the U.S. at least send a limited run. The 4 Runner is still selling out here like hotcakes. I don't want a Wrangler or a Cherokee or a pickup. Everything is turning into Minivans with high heels and all wheel drive. Hello Mitsubisi!!!! Enough with the mini crossovers. Send us at least one of your large vehicles.
I have a 2009 pajero 3.8litre petrol long wheel base with 80000 miles.Here in Israel,you get the feeling that Mitsubishi is 'winding down'...poor selection in the showroom(we are like western europe).2003-2009 i owned a P.Sport wich reminded me of the Toyota 4Runner(now only in north America)
Nice review, Pajero sport is ugly and to small for a family of 4 going of road for the holidays .time to move on and get a Ranger or Toyota.
is that family of 4 fat americans?
Camptime Tent I suggest you to not buy toyota but you can buy a lexus
can't fit a family of 4 in a 7 seat vehicle? Time to get a diet not a Ranger or Toyota.
I get where he;s coming from! You just stereotype. I'm an Aussie, so what?. The issue is, that once yu put the gear in the boot, there is no space left in the PS. It is also narrower than the real Pajero. It is based on a Ute/ Pick-up and it shows.
So, until you get in one, test drive it, think of the things you will be carrying, and NOT towing, and gowing for a camping trip where you need most things inside the cab, then reply accordingly with a proper answer.
Camping is normally a week long thing, not a weekend at a campsite! Remote wilderness, no access to anything except what you bring with you.
Also holidays as the OP(Original Poster) mentioned, would mean more than a casual weekend.
So again, where does your comment about "is that family of 4 fat americans" need to mentioned, unless you are a troll ;-)
Pajer10 Clicks: some "7 seaters" are not real 7 seaters. I have an MDX, of which is a TRUE 7 seater, this is an occasional short trip 7 seater. There is no boot space left if you use the 3rd row. So your point is mute.
So his point is valid.
guys actually what is the montero here ... i often gets confused
That was great. All questions answered. Not!
Good day, can anyone who owns both or have driven both tell me which offers the better ride quality? Which one has a quieter cabin and handles bumps better?
Sport slaughters the Pajerosarus Rex in all those departments. It’s not even close.
Saya lebih suka Pajero lawas/ Shogun, modelnya tidak membosankan
tip - mic up properly
I'll own up to being a Pajero owner and that Pajero Sport would have to have one of the ugliest arses this side of K K
It's insane how costly Pajero is in Australia !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In UAE you get a brand new 3.8 V6 Pajero with Full option for less than 24 000 USD.....
why not upload in 1080?
The old Pajero has a better road visibilty
whats a mishubishi? , geez what a dope presenter
I feel like I'm about to fall asleep with this presenter, get some life into the show
old is gold
Old facka
Amiel Vallecera
What do you mean by "slang"? Did the presenter speak vulgar street language?
What he is saying I don't understand
It is not Pajero if there is no differential lock!
الحين وش افضل مونتيرو او باجيرو؟
💪Cars tanks
Mitsubishi...please bring Pajero back in India...
Bought a Pajero Sport, but couldn't let the old Pajero go.
Current Pajero interior is a real nice place to be and no doubt a lot better than Thai Pajero Sport.
Nope, it's not. As an owner of this 4WD, the dashboard is a disaster in bright sunlight. The Mitsubishi design team's selection of speedo and tacho colors and lighting makes it utterly impossible to read when sun shines on it directly, or indirectly on a bright day. Extremely dangerous in heavy motorway traffic around speed traps. Death stares you in the face in this car.
I haven't had that issue. Try turning up the brightness of the dash lights all the way. Can see clearly after doing that.
the pajero is japanese and not a glorified daewoo like the sport..
No, you are wrong adam.
Old school pajero looks sooo much better. This variannt is actually known as montero in India and is a super expensive car due to all the stupid taxes & fees.
*4D56 is a beast*
Pajero sport is better then old class Pajero Inshallah soon I will buy Pajero sport
Each to his own. Depends what you are looking for :)
looks like shit
Whats the theme song?
Why music when u talking?
Sett out text!
i feel like the dad is the pajero and the son is the pajero sport
pajero Sport... i really like it.
Jose Miguel but pajero is better
Akash pandiaraj you are right. Pajero(here Montero) is better... But looks a bit old... maybe just need a review, but we can denied it's better!!!
The pajero/montero sport is gay as f*ck!
COROLLA95 toyota cars are fucking dumshit
+Akash Pandiaraj yeah fucking dumshit like you
Mishabishi
Old model design is much better...
