Max Power: 181 PS (178 bhp) @ 3,500 rpm
The Pajero Sport is powered by the 2.4-liter 4N15 MIVEC turbo-diesel engine. This engine features an all-aluminum cylinder block to reduce weight and a Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) that optimizes the compression ratio for high power at low RPMs. This allows the SUV to maintain effortless highway cruising while providing the punch needed for quick overtakes.
0-100 km/h: 12.3 Seconds
For a large ladder-frame SUV weighing over 2 tons, the Pajero Sport delivers a respectable 0-100 km/h sprint in roughly 12.3 seconds. This performance is largely credited to the high torque-to-weight ratio and the quick-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission that keeps the engine within its optimal power band during acceleration.
