JAKARTA - The medium SUV segment is currently on the rise and is the choice of many people. Not without reason, because it offers many advantages that are indeed the answer for national automotive lovers.

Currently, there are several brands that offer medium SUVs, including Mitsubishi with its flagship, the Mitsubishi New Pajero Sport, a new model in the medium SUV class that has no doubt about its quality and toughness.

The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport model has been present and well known by the Indonesian people for more than 15 years and has become an icon of a vehicle that Indonesian customers have loved since its inception.

Known for its dynamic design, superior performance, and high functionality, the Mitsubishi New Pajero Sport is here to redefine the concept of adventure for diverse consumers, offering a perfect blend of style, comfort, and practicality for its users.

There are several advantages offered on the above cars, so what are they?

2.4L MIVEC Diesel Engine Proven to be Tough

The New Pajero Sport is equipped with a 2.4L MIVEC Turbo Diesel engine that has proven its reliability. Its maximum power is in the range of 181 PS, with a peak torque of around 430 Nm.

The character of this engine is very strong in the lower to mid-range, making the Pajero Sport easy to drive on hills, stable when carrying heavy loads, and reliable when off-road. This engine is designed for long-term use in accordance with the character of a true SUV.

Big Torque at Low RPM, Comfortable for Daily

One of the main advantages of the Pajero Sport engine is the large torque that is present from low engine revolutions. The effect is very noticeable when stopping and going in city traffic, overtaking vehicles, and driving up hills without having to step on the gas pedal excessively. As a result, drivers are not tired quickly and the car feels responsive without having to be driven aggressively. An engine that drivers crave.

MIVEC Technology Makes Engines More Efficient

The MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control) technology is found in the Pajero Sport diesel engine. This system helps optimize valve opening, maintain combustion efficiency, and the effect reduces fuel consumption without sacrificing performance. So it's no wonder that for a large diesel SUV, Pajero Sport's fuel consumption is quite efficient, both in the city and on trips outside the city.

Smooth Machine Character and Minim Vibration

The 4N15 engine which is a new generation diesel provides a much smoother vibration sensation, so that passengers in the cabin do not feel like they are riding a diesel car. Long journeys are also more comfortable. Moreover, there is an additional cabin damping and tuning of the Pajero Sport engine that you use as a family car and an adventurous car.

Using a Responsive Modern Transmission

The powerful 4N15 engine of the Pajero Sport is paired with a sophisticated 8-speed automatic transmission. The effect makes gear shifting smooth and responsive with a close gear ratio for optimal efficiency and acceleration. This transmission makes the engine power more effective, both when cruising on the toll road and when driving over heavy terrain.

"Basically, this 4N15 engine is a very good all-round engine so far. Because it is fuel efficient, power, top-down torque can, the engine is silent, and then it is very bad, and what makes me happy is that it is a clean engine. For emissions it is also good. That's why this engine is maintained," said Mitsubishi Motors Indonesia Brand Ambassador, Rifat Sungkar, some time ago.

Ready for Off-Road Thanks to the Engine that Can Handle Banting

For adventure lovers, the Pajero Sport engine is very supportive of off-road activities. This is because its character is stable when it is low, which is very needed to crawl on rough roads. The engine is also not easy to overheat with the support of good and precise block materials, with maximum engine cooling systems. The engine remains consistent when used in mud, sand, rocks, and steep slopes.

Relatively Controlled Maintenance Costs

Despite its great performance, the 4N15 Pajero Sport engine is known to be easy to maintain with abundant spare parts availability. As an illustration, the maintenance cost of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Dakar Ultimate 4x4 type 0-100 thousand kilometers (about 5 years of use) at the official Mitsubishi Motors workshop network spread throughout Indonesia only ranges from IDR 12 million.

This makes the cost of ownership remain rational for the long term, both for personal and operational use.

Long-term and Stable Selling Value

The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 4N15 diesel engine has proven to be reliable and durable for use by hundreds of thousands of users. There are minimal major problems, so it helps to keep the resale value of the car high. This factor is important for consumers who think about investing in long-term vehicles.
