2023 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport price and specs

The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport receives some new colours and minor specification updates for 2023, as well as slight price increases.

All 2023 models are between $500 and $1000 more expensive than before, though tyre pressure monitoring has become standard fit on GLS, Exceed and GSR models.

The updated range enters production in February 2023, with dealership arrivals set for April.

Impulse Blue joins the colour palette for GLS and Exceed variants, while the flagship GSR gains a Terra Rossa exterior finish paired with a black roof.

Otherwise, the Pajero Sport is unchanged. As it’s based on the current Triton and a next-generation ute has been spied testing, the Pajero Sport is likely towards the end of its life cycle.
