Mitsubishi is adding a Pajero Sport with Shogun touches to their local offering, which is sure to appeal to fans of off-road driving as well as families who prioritise adventure and a variety of leisure activities. Namibian salesmen have confirmed the limited edition can be ordered, and will take about three weeks for domestic delivery. 

The all-new Pajero Sport Shogun Limited Edition is based on the Aspire 4×4 derivative, and this locally-developed model will join the range just below the Exceed derivative.

“Since being introduced in 2020, the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport has impressed with the way that it combines its legendary off-road acumen with its family-friendly attributes,” said Jeffrey Allison, General Manager: Marketing at Mitsubishi Motors South Africa (MMSA).

Featuring seven seats, the Pajero Sport is unique in the manner in which it combines real off-road ability with luxury on-road comfort for the whole family.

The Shogun nomenclature is well-known, as it has been utilised across a variety of special edition Mitsubishi models throughout the years to accentuate the outstanding qualities of these vehicles. These special edition models have always been well-received and snapped up by Mitsubishi fans.

The Pajero Sport Shogun is differentiated by a variety of aesthetic enhancements as well as the fitment of additional equipment to bolster this model’s legendary off-road ability even further. It is also a great opportunity for Mitsubishi fans to own a very exclusive model.

The Pajero Sport stands out from the crowd with a Dynamic Shield front grille that ensures a stylish and modern appearance. This is accentuated by strong yet flowing lines, as well as rugged and durable finishes. The Pajero Sport Shogun is differentiated aesthetically by a black bonnet decal and badging.

Aspire models on which the Shogun are based are only available in Jet Black or White Diamond, with a two-tone roof and feature black roof rails, a black front grille and 18-inch alloy wheels. On Shogun models, these are wrapped with Special All Terrain Tyres measuring 265/60R18, and featuring white writing. 

“The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is fitted with a variety of additional equipment that adds to the aesthetic, protects the vehicle and enhances its capability, while adding a degree of exclusivity,” Allison added.

Shogun’s specific equipment includes a black Shogun nudge bar, a snorkel, side-window deflectors, fender flares and Shogun rock sliders.

Mitsubishi’s Super Select 4WD-II takes the guesswork out of off-road driving by ensuring that engine output, transmission settings and braking are optimised for superior traction across challenging surface conditions. Four selectable off-road modes include 2H, 4H, 4HLc (4WD High range with centre diff locked), and 4LLc (4WD Low range with centre diff locked).

The Pajero Sport also boasts noteworthy off-road credentials including an approach angle of 30 degrees, a departure angle of 24.2 degrees and a 23.1-degree ramp over angle that ensures it will not shy away from any obstacle.
