Tougher than a Ford Everest, Isuzu MU-X and Toyota Fortuner? 2022 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport scores Arctic Trucks treatment

Mitsubishi's Pajero Sport has been given the Arctic Trucks treatment, resulting in the AT35.

Mitsubishi’s Pajero Sport is the latest model to receive the Arctic Trucks treatment, following builds available for the Toyota HiLux, Isuzu D-Max and Volkswagen Amarok.

Designed to tackle the toughest of terrain, the Pajero Sport AT356 scores a number of upgrades including 17-inch wheels shod in 315/70 all-terrain rubber, an increase in ride height, a widebody kit top accommodate the wider track width.

The result is 270mm of ground clearance, up a substantial 52mm from a stock Pajero Sport, as well as an increase to approach and departure angles to 34.5 and 28.8 degrees respectively.

Buyers hoping for a boost in power will be disappointed however, as the Pajero Sport AT35 retains the standard engine as before.

This means a 2.4-itre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine sending 133kW/430Nm to all four wheels via an eight-speed torque converter automatic transmission.

Of note, the Pajero Sport is also offered with a 3.0-litre petrol V6 engine in overseas markets like Russia and the Middle East, which punches out 162kW/285Nm.
