Many motorists call the Japanese SUV "Mitsubishi Pajero Sport" legendary. And indeed, these are not empty words. His first generation, which appeared in 1996, immediately gained great popularity in the world market. This generation of these cars has become one of the most prestigious and beloved in the whole world. After a single restyling, the Japanese SUV was produced for another 8 years and was already discontinued in 2008. But, despite this, the demand for Mitsubishi Pajero Sport (expert review also notes this point) did not fall at all. It can be seen in every city, in the east and in the west of Russia. But what made Mitsubishi Pajero Sport so popular? The feedback from the owners will help us understand this issue.
The appearance of the first generation of SUVs
Initially, the design of the car "Mitsubishi Pajero Sport" did not cause public enthusiasm. It was a standard jeep at that time with medium dimensions, the characteristic features of which were simple body lines and a square headlight design. But in 2000, this situation changed dramatically. The appearance of the novelty was completely changed, and a completely new Mitsubishi Pajero Sport appeared before the customers. Responses of owners said that the novelty has become more stylish and prestigious. When you look at the photo of the restyled version of the Japanese Pajero SUV, everything becomes clear.
The interior of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport car
The recall of the company's management said that the novelty did not plan to surprise everyone with its impressive interior. But still, the interior of the car impressed many. The reason for this was the simple and clear design of the torpedo, the convenient location of all the elements and control buttons, as well as harmoniously inscribed plastic parts. But this is not all the features of the interior of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport. Owner reviews also noted a high level of security. The Japanese really took care of this by installing 2 frontal airbags and 3-point seat belts with pretensioners, located on the front and rear seats. Among the electronic “innovations”, drivers noted the presence of a proprietary audio system with 6 speakers, heated front seats, as well as an additional instrument cluster above the center console. And all this was already included in the basic package!

Later on the restyled versions began to appear 170-horsepower gasoline unit with a volume of 3 liters. Since 2004, the engine range has expanded significantly - 2 turbo-diesel units with a capacity of 115 and 133 horsepower joined it, based on the 100-horsepower 4D56 engine.
