2 Answers
This vehicle is available in both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions, with the four-wheel drive model featuring a full-time four-wheel drive system. The Pajero Sport is a rugged off-road vehicle. Below is an introduction to the Pajero Sport: 1. The standard configuration for rugged off-road vehicles is either a part-time four-wheel drive system or a full-time four-wheel drive system. The Pajero Sport's full-time four-wheel drive system includes a dog clutch differential lock, making its four-wheel drive performance exceptionally strong. 2. The Pajero Sport is equipped with two types of engines: a 3.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine. 3. The 3.0-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers 252 horsepower and a maximum torque of 310 Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power output at 6000 rpm and its maximum torque at 4000 rpm. It features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 4. The 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine produces 137 horsepower and a maximum torque of 205 Nm. This engine achieves its maximum power output at 5250 rpm and its maximum torque at 4000 rpm. It also features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
Yes, the Pajero Sport typically offers a 4WD version, and I personally drive the top-of-the-line 4WD model. For normal city commuting, it’s quite hassle-free, but once you encounter rain or muddy roads, the 4WD really shines—power is automatically distributed to different wheels, providing stable traction and preventing slippage. I live in the suburbs, and once when my neighbor’s car got stuck in a mud pit, I easily pulled it out with the Pajero Sport, all thanks to its Super Select system. Most configurations come with a 4WD option, but the base model might be 2WD—cheaper but with limited capability. Personally, I think it’s worth spending a bit more, as it enhances both safety and driving enjoyment. Maintenance isn’t a hassle either; Mitsubishi parts are durable, requiring only one or two check-ups a year. Daily fuel consumption is slightly higher, around 1-2 liters more per 100 km, but the sense of freedom during off-road adventures is priceless. I’d recommend opting for the 4WD version, especially if you love traveling or often drive on rural roads.
