    Our most recent review of the 2023 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport resulted in a score of 7.5 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Contributing Journalist Marcus Craft had this to say at the time: The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is a very capable off-road vehicle and it also functions quite well as a daily driver. And in top-shelf GSR guise, it has plenty of standard features onboard.

    Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2023 Interior

    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.

    Shown above are interior details for the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2023.

    Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2023 Colours

    Exterior paint options across the MY23 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport line-up includes 'White', 'Impulse Blue', 'Sterling Silver', 'Graphite Grey', 'Terra Rosa', 'White Diamond' and 'Black Mica'.

    Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2023 Boot Space

    The MY23 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport’s cabin is narrow compared to most of its rivals and there are plenty of other SUVs and 4WD wagons around that offer more room inside.

    Boot space is 131 litres with the third-row seats in use. With the third row out of the way, cargo space increases to 502 litres. With the second and third rows stowed away, there is a listed 1488 litres of cargo space.

    Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2023 FAQs

    Does the 2022 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport engine have a timing belt or timing chain?

    The Mitsubishi 4N15 engine in your Pajero Sport has a timing chain rather than a toothed rubber belt. As such, the chain should be good for the life of the vehicle rather than requiring periodic replacement as a timing belt does. However, this does not make the valve-train maintenance-free, as this engine requires valve clearance adjustments every 60,000km.

    Cracked cylinder head on a 2016 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Exceed

    Cracked cylinder heads and blown head gaskets are not completely unknown on this engine, but exactly how big a problem it is is the real question. There’s one theory that the cylinder heads crack when mechanics over-tighten the fuel-injector hardware or try to remove stuck injectors with too much force.

    The good news is that replacement cylinder heads are readily available and can be had in bare form or in fully built-up form including all valves and springs.

    What tow vehicle or hybrid camper should I consider for after retirement?

    The last decade of dual-cab four-wheel-drive utes have emerged as the tow-vehicles of choice, and you see them everywhere filling roles exactly like the one you have planned. Popular models include the Ford Ranger you’ve nominated, Toyota HiLux, Mazda BT-50, VW Amarok, Mitsubishi Triton, Nissan Navara and Isuzu D-Max. But there are also cheaper alternatives including makes like the South-Korean made Ssangyong and various Chinese brands like LDV and Great Wall.

    Just make sure you know exactly how much you need to tow before making a decision as some of the cheaper models don’t have the same outright towing capacity and even if they do, some of them don’t have the engine performance to make towing as easy as it should be. For parts availability, the Toyota would be king in really remote areas, but any of the major brands are pretty well covered in Australia.

    Meantime, don’t rule out ute-based wagons such as the Ford Everest, Isuzu MU-X, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and Toyota Fortuna. These offer better ride comfort when unladen thanks to more sophisticated rear suspensions and most have as much or almost as much towing capacity as their ute brethren.

    Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2023 Range

    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.
