Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Lauched in India

    Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Lauched in India

Mitsubishi-HM have launched their latest-generation Pajero Sport here in New Delhi and it seems

Around two years after the launch of its last new car model, Hindustan Motors has launched the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport SUV in India at Rs 23.53 lakhs.

The four-wheel drive offroader is powered by a 2.5-litre diesel engine putting out 178 PS of power. In terms of price, it competes with the Toyota Fortuner, Ford Endeavor, Chevrolet Captiva, Hyundai Santa Fe and the smaller BMW X1.

Kolkata-based HM assembles and markets Mitsubishi car models such as the Lancer, Cedia and Outlander in India.

at least for the moment, the company is content with a single variant for now. However, this is quite against the fabric, given how Toyota recently reset its Fortuner positioning by launching not one, but two additional variants; even an automatic.

Well, a 2477cc, inline, four-cylinder common-rail diesel motor that produces not 135 bhp, but a healthy 175 bhp at 4000 rpm and an equally impressive 40.4 kgm@2000-2500 rpm. And it's nearly as well equipped as its fellow-Japanese rival. You get Mitsubishi's renowned Super Select 4WD and a 5-speed manual gearbox to help you tackle most on and off-road situations.

The Pajero Sport rides on 17-inch alloys, wrapped by 265/65 R17 rubber. On the inside, the car comes loaded with driver and passenger-side airbags, leather seats, leather wrapped steering with audio controls and leather wrapped gear knob and four-wheel drive selector, an MP3 player with a USB slot, a multi-trip function that displays the altimeter, barometer, outside temperature, fuel information and audio display, automatic climate control for the fron passengers and manually operable blower controls at the rear, a 60:40 split central row and 50:50 split third row.

Additionally, the kit also includes projector headlamps with self-levelling, chrome door handles, rear parking sensors, ABS & EBD with brake boosters, rear wash wiper and defogger and a choice of six body colours. The Pajero Sport follows the tradition of the outgoing Pajero of being a capable off-roader, thanks to its 36 degree approach angle, 23 degree break-over and 25 degree departure angles.

ALERT: The Pajero Sport is currently available as a CBU and will co-exist with the current Pajero SFX until September 2012, when the SFX will be phased out. By then, the Pajero Sport's local assembly operations will begin. We expect prices of the Pajero Sport to drop even further then. Come September 2012 and the Pajero Sport will start being assembled in India as Mitsubishi will then import the CKD kits of this SUV. This simply means that the new car will see a 20-25% reduction in its price tag. This will also be the time when the grandpa Pajero SFX on sale in India will go out of production. We are now getting bored of saying that Mitsubishi is finally getting aggressive in Indian market. Recently, we saw a huge price cut on underrated yet capable Cedia sedan and Mitsubishi will soon launch a pocket friendly seven seater version of the Outlander. Keeping this in mind, it becomes even more probable that the Pajero Sport will become easier to buy and might give nightmares to the likes of Toyota Fortuner.

2013 Mitsubishi Outlander

             2013 Mitsubishi Outlander

Mitsubishi introduced  the all new 2013 Outlander at the 82nd Geneva International Motor Show. 

The evolutionary design of the new Outlander comes as no surprise as it was previewed by the Concept PX-MiEV at the Tokyo Motor Show held in December of last year.  The difference between the two cars is the softer front end and certain production bits like the outer mirrors. Mitsubishi described the new model’s exterior as “solid, safe and simple”.

The new Outlander has a seating for five, but an optional third row enables it to carry seven passengers just like the second Gen Outlander. The interior is also significantly improved with high-grade materials and soft-touch plastics. The new model’s dimensions are 4,655 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width and 1,680 mm in height with a wheelbase of 2,670 mm. All the dimensions of this new car are identical to the current car. It can also be equipped with Super-HiD headlights that are just about 1.4 times more powerful than the conventional HID headlights.

In Europe, the new Outlander will be made available with two different engines, a 2.0-L MIVEC petrol producing 150 ps and a maximum torque of 195 Nm and a 2.2-L diesel rated at 150 ps and 380 Nm of torque. The diesel unit is offered with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic while the petrol engine can be linked to a 5-speed manual gearbox or a CVT.  All-wheel drive is optional. As a standard on all models, start-stop button comes fitted. In early 2013, the range will further expand to a new plug-in hybrid power train that links a 2.0-L four-cylinder petrol engine to a pair of electric motors. Mitsubishi says that the Plug-In Hybrid EV system will allow for a driving range of 800 km and CO2 emissions under 50 g/km. Sales of the 2013 Outlander will begin in Europe this summer & in india late 2013.

The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport coming on this march 2012.

The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport coming on this march 2012.

The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport coming on this 2012 march .

Until a few years ago, we had two generations of Pajeros being sold in India. Come to think of it, we still have two Pajeros being sold. The difference is that earlier, both were branded as Pajero and now the newer generation has been christened as the Montero. The generation that is still being sold as the Pajero dates back to 1991 and is the second generation of the Pajero SUVs (Montero being the third). 

A month back, we had reported that the vehicle will be launched towards the end of this month. Now, the car has been delayed again.The Mitsubishi Challenger, nay, the Pajero Sport will be here only by March, at least that is what our sources suggest. The Challenger started its life in 2008 and it seems to be taking a fair amount of time to come to India. The Pajero Sport gets the same 2.5 litre diesel engine that is internationally available in the Challenger. This oil burner pumps out a healthy 140 Ps of power and it is said that the engine is fine tuned for fuel efficiency.

It may be noted that we had been hoping to have a rendezvous with this vehicle back at the recently held Delhi Auto Expo. However, Mitsubishi had to opt out of it as it ended up having to delay the launch owing to the devastating floods which gave a blow to its production facility in Thailand.

The Pajero Sport comes with an All Wheel Control Super Select 4WD mechanism which makes the vehicle quite a capable soft roader. The Pajero Sport will come to India in a 7 seater avatar with 3 rows of seats. It will also come loaded with active safety features life ABS and EBD and dual front airbags.

The Pajero Sport will be launched in India initially as a CBU import. However, if the vehicle gets a good response, safely expect Mitsubishi to start with assembling the car in India. It may be noted that the very capable and our favorite Mitsubishi Outlander could never really do well in the market. Primarily, the lack of a diesel engine proved to be quite lethal to the handsome SUV.

  

However, The mitsubishi might still end up getting the better of Toyota if it puts a competitive price tag on thePajero Sport.

MITSUBISHI GOING TO LAUNCH OUTLANDER HYBRID IN 2013

MITSUBISHI GOING TO LAUNCH OUTLANDER HYBRID IN 2013

Mitsubishi is working on its next-generation Outlander SUV, inspired by the recent PX-MiEV and PX-MiEV II concepts.

While the Mitsubishi MiEV concepts utilise a petrol-electric plug-in hybrid powertrain, the new Mitsubishi  Outlander is expected to stick with conventional petrol and diesel hearts.

A hybrid version of the new SUV has been expected since the first PX-MiEV was revealed in 2009, and a new report in Japan's Nikkei business paper this week suggests it could arrive as soon as 2013.

MITSUBISHI PAJERO SPORT ONLY ON QUARTER - 1, 2012

       MITSUBISHI PAJERO SPORT ONLY ON QUARTER - 1, 2012

In an official statement, Mitsubishi India has stated that the company will not be launching its Pajero Sport SUV in India at the Expo, as planned earlier. The delay has much to do with the flood situation in Thailand which jeopardized the operations of various carmakers, including Mitsubishi.

According to Mr. Manoj Jha, Managing Director, Hindustan Motors, “we had decided to launch Pajero as well as new variants from the HM stable at the Auto Expo 2012 in New Delhi. However, some dislocation of operations at Mitsubishi Motors’ Thailand facility due to natural calamity and unexpected events compelled us to alter our plans for participation in the auto show. The rescheduled launch of Pajero and HM stable vehicles will start from the first quarter of the coming year (2012) with appropriate publicity”

The new pajero may sport a 2.5-liter 16-valve inline-4 intercooled turbocharged DOHC diesel producing 136PS of power and 314Nm of torque. Equipped with ABS, Airbags, EBD, Collapsible steering column, Reverse Camera, Cruise Control & 2 DIN touchscreen, the Pajero Sports looks like a rather advanced piece of kit. The new version of the SUV will be sportier looking than the present one and would accommodate 7 people. Expect the price to be in the region of Rs. 20 lakh.

Mitsubishi is also mentioned another passenger vehicle in the New Year, without divulging any further details.

2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER

Mitsubishi has showed its plug-in hybrid SUV concept at the Tokyo Motor Show.

The new concept PX-MiEV is “very close to the production design of the next Outlander. Just change the wing mirrors and it’s almost the finished car.”

The PX-MiEV II previews a new four-wheel drive range-extender system that uses two electric motors, one to power each axle, and a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine.

Alternatively, the petrol motor can act purely as a generator for when the battery reserve is low but pure electric mode is still most efficient.

Mitsubishi sources confirmed that the power train would definitely make it into production and that it was a global vehicle.
