MITSUBISHI TEST REVIEW

One of my acid tests for this
category of large, 7-seater SUV's is the
convenience of use of the additional
two seats in the rear. Here, the Pajero
Sport scores points for the fact that the
seats flip up easily from the base of the
boot area. Access to these seats is also
easy with the middle row seatback
folding over and then flipping forward to
allow trouble-free entrance. Once
ensconced in the rear, leg room is rather
limited but passengers are treated to
dedicated air-con vents as well as large
windows for this section. As with all
competitors, boot space is extremely
limited when all seven seats are in use.
A tow bar and trailer would be the
answer if travelling with a full
complement of passengers.
The Exceed spec provides all
possible luxuries that you would expect up front plus an additional two in the console for middle row passengers is a bonus in
as well as seven airbags for safety. this family vehicle. Some competitors should take note here!
Personally, I think that the standard The new Pajero Sport range is very competitively priced, ranging from R609 995 to
sunroof should be upgraded to a much R689 995 for the Exceed as tested. A 5-year/90 000km service plan is included. n
