Mitsubishi Malaysia has launched the Pajero Sport with a more powerful powertrain. The enhanced powertrain sports a Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT) bolted on the 2.5l DI-D commonrail diesel engine, producing 178 PS@4000 rpm and 350Nm@1800-3500rpm of power and torque respectively. The 7-seater now directed its power to all four wheel via a 5 speed automatic transmission complete with paddle shift. Compared with previous GL and GLS version, the VGT gets an additional 42PS and 36Nm of power and torque and gained an additional gear ratio.
The Pajero Sport VGT costs RM167,375.80 plus insurance. To put it into comparison, the non-VGT GS 4WD is only RM5,000 cheaper. Summarized specs and photos are after the jump
