New Pajero Sport Automatic Launched at 23.55 Lakhs

Mitsubishi Pajero has a great lineage in India. Its image has been often associated with powerful and rich politicians. The original SUV was withdrawn from the market by Mitsubishi many months back and now it only sells the more modern Pajero Sport in the country.

Considering Mitsubishi’s lack of presence and interest in India, Pajero Sport has been doing pretty well in sales. And in order to continue and build up the ante, the Jap has just launched the Pajero Sport Automatic.
