    Being a facelift, the updated Mitsubishi Pajero Sport retains the overall silhouette, but adds a few new touches.

    Powering the 2024 Pajero Sport is a sole 184hp, 430Nm, 2.4-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine that's mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox.

    Mitsubishi Pajero Sport facelift: will it come to India? 

    It’s been a few years since Mitsubishi left the Indian market, and while the Pajero Sport was once offered as a Toyota Fortuner rival, we do not expect it to make a comeback anytime soon. Although one of its rivals, the Ford Endeavour, was also discontinued in 2021 when the American carmaker ended its India operations, Ford is currently evaluating relaunching it.
