JOHANNESBURG – Mitsubishi South Africa 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.
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 media and South Africans with the way that it combines its legendary off-road acumen with its family friendly attributes,” says 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 to South Africans 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.
What differentiates the Shogun model?
The Pajero Sport Shogun is differentiated by a variety of aesthetic enhancements as well as the fitment of additional equipment that will bolster this model’s legendary off-road ability even further. It is also a great opportunity for South African 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.
Legendary off-road ability bolstered
“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” adds Allison.
Shogun 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 guess work 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), 4LLc (4WD Low range with centre diff locked).
The Pajero Sport 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.
Premium interior
The interior features all the Aspire premium touches, comfort and luxury. Key features include black leather seats, a power slide and reclining function for the driver’s seat, electric windows all round and dual-zone climate control with a rear ventilation duct for the second row of seats.
A multi-function leather steering wheels places audio and cruise controls settings at the driver’s fingertips and a full-colour digital instrument display ensures visibility of all relevant information. A large eight-inch touch screen is centrally mounted and facilitates Mitsubishi’s advanced smartphone-link display audio.
Safety that puts families first

This includes seven airbags, ISOFIX child seat anchors, active stability and traction control, ABS brakes, EBD and an emergency brake assist system.

Tried and tested powertrain
Under the bonnet the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is powered by a 2.4 litre MIVEC four-cylinder intercooled turbodiesel engine that boasts 133kW and 430Nm which is coupled to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Peace of mind comes standard
The fitment of the Shogun specific equipment has been done in such a way that it improves styling and capability without affecting the legendary reliability that Mitsubishi’s product offering is known for.
This result is backed up by the fact that the special edition Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Shogun is sold with an additional two-year drivetrain warranty, bolstering the warranty to five-years/100 000km alongside the standard five-year/90 000km service plan and five-year roadside assistance. Service intervals are set at every 10 000 km.
