2022 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport GSR Is Australia’s New Range Topper

Mitsubishi Australia has added a flagship model to the 2022 Pajero Sport lineup in the shape of the seven-seat GSR. At the other end of the Pajero Sport range, two new two-wheel drive variants have also been introduced, named the GLX and GLS.

With the addition of the GLX 2WD, the Australian Pajero Sport’s starting price (RRP) is now AU$43,940 (US $31,600). The GSR spec starts at an RRP of AU$60,940 (US $43,782) and builds upon the luxury offered by the Exceed spec with a few cosmetic enhancements.

Available in either Black Mica or White Diamond (the latter with a black roof), the GSR features 18-inch black alloy wheels, front and rear bumper garnish, and blacked-out exterior and interior accents. The black treatment is also applied to the front and rear bumper garnish, radiator grille, and roof rails.

Updates to the interior are minimal, and the GSR features three rows of seats, with the rear-most set of chairs able to fold into the boot floor. The body-on-frame construction of the Pajero Sport (also known as the Shogun Sport and Montero Sport in other markets) will no doubt continue to endear itself to customers looking for a capable SUV.

The GSR is available exclusively with Mitsubishi’s Super Select II 4WD system, as well as the same 2.4-liter turbo diesel engine that is also found in the Triton pick-up and the rest of the Pajero Sport range. The engine develops 133 kW (174 hp / 176 PS) and 430 Nm (317 lb-ft) of torque and is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Finally, electric lumbar support for the driver’s seat is now standard across the range, joining other features including Forward Collision Mitigation, Adaptive Cruise Control, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an 8-inch touchscreen, and climate control.
