Mitsubishi previews an all-new compact SUV concept  Though we'd dearly love to be writing about the latest bonkers special edition of a Triton, ASX or Pajero right now, we're left with the Mitsubishi XFC Concept. Of course, it's a compact SUV, unveiled in Vietnam and previewing a new crossover for the Southeast Asian markets. So, this means we’re not likely to see this new compact SUV at Mitsubishi Stellenbosch , but let’s take a look at what we know about it anyway. Mitsubishi says that the XFC Concept aims to be the “best-suited buddy for an exciting life", something we know dealers like Stellenbosch Mitsubishi would love to sell. The exterior design includes chunky arches, an angry-faced grille and T-shaped lights that have more than a hint of Volvo about them. Apparently, it follows a philosophy of ‘Robust & Ingenious’. The interior looks fantastic as well - with plenty of soft-touch materials and some lovely-looking leather/cloth seats. Not too screen-heavy e...

The 2022 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport GLS is one of the few seven-seat SUVs on the market with proper 4x4 credentials As one of a handful of  seven-seat SUVs with proper off-road credentials  currently on the market, the  Pajero Sport  remains popular with adventure-driven families. And for good reason; it’s well-priced and comes with a generous warranty and class-leading after-sales support. In its current guise though, this  Mitsubishi Pajero  was first released back in 2015 and is somewhat long in the tooth - despite a mid-life refresh in 2020 that was largely cosmetic. With an influx of more modern large SUVs arriving locally - think Everest - is the ageing Pajero Sport still a worthy consideration? The 4x4 models that occupy  the Mitsubishi Pajero line-up  - GLX, GLS, and Exceed - with the choice of either five or seven pews available. The mid-spec GLS we have here is the cheapest entry point into a seven-seat 4x4 variant. Interior Despite feeling...

Strong on value, the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport continues to play at the pointy end of the ute-based SUV market What’s it all about? Bakkie-based SUVs like the seven-seat Mitsubishi Pajero Sport are an increasingly popular option for adventurous family buyers. As practical and as comfortable as road-biased rivals, they offer the go-anywhere ability and towing capacity of the body-on-frame light commercial models from which they’re derived – a bit of a ‘cake-and-eat-it’ kind of SUV, if you will. In the case of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport we find underpinnings shared with the updated Triton utility. The pair is mechanically identical, and shares a familiar cabin décor and frontal styling treatment. The rear-end (obviously) is unique to the Pajero Sport, and includes a third row of seats and 1488-litre boot behind a top-hinged tailgate. At the other end we find Mitsubishi’s carryover 2.4-litre MIVEC four-cylinder turbo-diesel (133kW/430Nm) matched to an Aisin-sourced eigh...

  The Mitsubishi Triton is once again available in single cab workhorse guise, a format that hasn’t been offered in the current generation until now. Aimed squarely at business users, the new Triton single cab GL model is priced at R409 995, an R75 000 saving over the entry-level double cab GL variant announced earlier this year. Like the latter, the newcomer is powered by a detuned version of the familiar 2.4-litre turbodiesel engine, which in this guise produces 100kW and 324Nm. The single cab is available exclusively in rear-wheel drive format, with a six-speed manual gearbox. The vehicle is fitted as standard with a limited-slip differential, which enhances traction by redistributing the engine’s torque to the wheel with the most grip. As you’d expect, the entry model rolls on 16-inch steel wheels, suspended at the back by a leaf spring suspension system. The vehicle will carry up to a tonne, and integrated cargo hooks are provided to secure loads. The cabin is workmanlike, t...

Legendary seven-seater discontinued The great Mitsubishi SUV survival story has come to its end. Although many Mitsubishi fans gravitated to the brand through the gaming console performance of its Lancer Evos, the reality for South Africans has always been the Mitusbishi Pajero . For three decades the Pajero has been a proven adventure SUV, capable of touring all across southern Africa, without bother. Mitsubishi’s future product development can no longer afford to carry the outdated ladder-frame SUV. In production since 2006, time was finally called on the Pajero in 2020. With its ageing platform and cabin architecture, not to mention relatively underpowered and inefficient engines, the Pajero is unable to compete with a surge of newer seven-seat SUVs. It was only in March 2020, where Mitsubishi proposed an all-new Pajero would be coming in late 2021 or 2022. The idea, however, has been canned as the brand focusses on small to medium-sized SUVs going forward.  News from the Japane...
