Tomorrow, the 12th of March, a very rare phenomenon will grace the Indian petrolheads. Mitsubishi is all set to launch a new product in the Indian market. After much delay (3-4 years, I think), the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport will finally be launched in the Indian market. We have already discussed about the technical specifications of the Pajero Sport that will reach Indian shores.
However IAB can now bring you a massive gallery of the Pajero Sport spyshots snapped from every angle possible.
Sources privy to the launch of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport have told IndianAutosBlog.com that it is likely to be priced between 24-24.5 lakh rupees (ex-showrooom). The Pajero Sport will be positioned above the Pajero SFX (Pajero Classic) as the latter has a huge fan following in India.
Mitsubishi is said to have thought this pricing strategy over carefully as it wants to avoid cannibalization between the two models. Mitsubishi has no plans to drop the SFX from its lineup which has acquired the image of a heritage model. It will launch a single variant of the Pajero Sport on Monday loaded with features.
