Depending on the variant, the MY23 Pajero Sport has manual or power-adjustable driver and front passenger seats.

The dash and 8.0-inch touchscreen media unit are nicely integrated, but that screen is too small. Mitsubishi looks set to rectify that with the likely introduction of a 9.0-inch screen in the 2025 Pajero Sport.

The steering wheel has paddle shifters for sporty shifting and it is reach- and height-adjustable. All buttons and dials on the current Pajero Sport are easy to operate.

Second-row passengers have access to three top tether points, two ISOFIX points and a fold-down arm-rest with cupholders. There are USB charge points and a power socket in the back of the centre-console storage box.

The second row is sufficiently comfortable – with adequate head and legroom – and passengers in the third-row seat have access to cupholders and air vents.

The 2023 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is available as a five- or seven-seat wagon. Depending on the variant, seats are either cloth or 'leather appointed'. They are generally comfortable and supportive.

The second row is in a 60/40 split-fold configuration; the third row in the seven-seat variant is in a 50/50 split-fold configuration.

The MY23 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport has a 2.4-litre, four-cylinder, turbo-diesel engine, which produces 133kW at 3500rpm and 430Nm at 2500rpm, and it has an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The MY23 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is capable of doing the 0-100km/h sprint in approximately 11.5 seconds. Top speed is around 190km/h.

Official fuel consumption for the MY23 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport GSR is 8.0L/100km on a combined cycle. Our on-test fuel-consumption figure, from fill to fill, was 9.6L/100km.

The Pajero Sport has a 68-litre tank, so, going by that fuel-consumption figure, you can reasonably expect a driving range of approximately 680km from a full tank, but that’s after having already subtracted a safe-distance buffer of 30km from the original total.
