New Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2020 gets off-road-focused accessory packs

Mitsubishi Australia has released three new off-road-focused accessory packs for buyers of the facelifted Pajero Sport large SUV.

The Signature Pack costs $2999 and adds silver under garnishes front and rear, black or silver ‘Pajero Sport’ bonnet lettering, black fender flares, a tailgate spoiler, illuminated scuff plates, textile floor mats and an interior emblem.

An extra $1800 will get buyers the Signature Plus Pack, which bundles in a black or polished nudge bar, an LED light bar kit, a tinted or clear bonnet protector, headlight protectors, black fender flares, weather shields, a towbar, a 50mm towball, a tailgate spoiler, illuminated scuff plates, textile floor mats and an interior emblem.

Alternatively, the $6999 Expedition Pack features a black or polished frontal protection bar, a snorkel, an EBC kit, roof rack cross vars, a Rola Titan MK2 roof tray, a towbar, a 50mm towball, a tailgate spoiler, scuff plates and a luggage tray.

Many of these accessories can be purchased separately, but opting for the packs saves buyers about $900 (Signature Pack), $1400 (Signature Plus Pack) or $2200 (Expedition Pack).

The Signature Plus Pack bundles in a black or polished nudge bar, an LED light bar kit and a tinted or clear bonnet protector.

As reported, the facelifted Pajero Sport entered Mitsubishi showrooms last month, with the four-wheel-drive priced between $46,990 (entry-level GLX) and $59,990 (flagship Exceed) plus on-road costs.

The Toyota Fortuner rival shares its 133kW/430Nm 2.4-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine with the Triton ute it is based upon, although its eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission is unique.

The Expedition Pack features a black or polished frontal protection bar, a snorkel and a Rola Titan MK2 roof tray.
