The 2021 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport looks the same as it did last year, but a closer look at the features list reveals some changes.
Prices are also up by $500 for the GLX and Exceed, with the range now opening at $47,490 before on-road costs for the five-seater GLX.
The GLX is now the only way to get a five-seater Pajero Sport, with Mitsubishi axing the two-row option from the mid-range GLS.
The GLS also loses its previously standard leather upholstery and power-adjustable front seats, though it gains a new Deluxe option package.
The $2250 package adds back leather upholstery and power front seats, as well as the previously Exceed-exclusive surround-view camera.
Adaptive cruise control is now standard across the range with its inclusion in the base GLX.
As Mitsubishi typically offers, there are nationwide drive-away deals available across the range.
The 2021 Pajero Sport is currently on sale.
