Pajero Sport ‘Shogun’ – Equipped with R70k worth of extras!
Mitsubishi pair up with 4×4 favourites such as ‘Tough Dog‘, ‘Stofpad‘, ‘Opposite Lock‘ and ‘Front Runner‘ to bring you the ultimate off-road experience.
The Pajero Sport Shogun edition is equipped with R70,000 worth of off-road accessories, at absolutely no extra cost!
Some of these accessories include the following:
- Tough Dog heavy-duty shock absorbers
- All-terrain tyres
- Underbody protection plates
- Rock-sliders
- Snorkel
- Detachable tow bar
- Rubber cargo protector
- Roof rack
- Latest new Garmin GPS Nuvi-cam device
“Pajero Sport families use their vehicles regularly to head off the beaten track. With this in mind, we approached some of South Africa’s best known off-road specialists to put together a list of bespoke adventure gear for the Pajero Sport,”
says Wynand Pretorius, Chief Operations Officer (COO) at Mitsubishi Motors SA.
“The combination of extra off-road protection, hard-wearing shock absorbers and all-terrain tyres will open a world of possibilities for 4×4 enthusiasts who enjoy technical driving,”
says Pretorius.
An off-road snorkel, custom roof rack (with spotlight) from Front Runner and a detachable tow bar complete the overland kit, and this ensures that every Pajero Sport Shogun will be easily distinguishable, no matter where it takes the owner.
These extras bring the total tally of off-road equipment to over R70 000. Despite all these additions the Shogun’s retail price remains R514 900!
The Pajero Sport is equipped with Mitsubishi’s popular 2.5 Di-D turbo diesel engine, which in high-power specification delivers as much as 131kW and 350Nm of torque.
For the Pajero Sport Shogun edition, this engine has been mated to Mitsubishi’s very popular 5-speed automatic gearbox.
“The Pajero Sport has gained in popularity since the introduction of the high-power 2.5 Di-D engine at the last Johannesburg International Auto Show. It has since triumphed in multiple comparative shootouts, thanks to its wide torque band, five speed automatic gearbox and its exemplary driving dynamics on gravel,”
adds Pretorius.
The new Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Shogun will be sold in limited numbers, but the first units have already been dispatched to Mitsubishi dealers across South Africa, Swaziland and Namibia. The Pajero Sport Shogun will cost R514 900 and is sold with a 5-year or 90 000 km service plan and a 3-year or 100 000 km manufacturer’s warranty.
