Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Design and technology

Because sharing a platform with the Strada Triton, Pajero Sport outer appearance is quite similar to his brother, especially on the front. In terms of looks, Pajero Sport looks more "stylish" than the Fortuner, especially Everest. Design Pajero more "sweet" and modern, which combined a pair of muscular fenders. In addition, the Pajero fitted roof rails and foot step to facilitate female passengers climbed into the cabin. Home side rearview mirror is also wrapped to chrome accents add a luxurious impression.

Dimensions looks more compact, but more width when compared to Everest (1788 mm), and shorter than Fortuner (1850 mm). With a length of 4695 mm, width 1815 mm, height 1840 mm and 2800 mm wheelbase, Pajero Sport as an estate that stands tall. 215 mm ground clearance enough to traverse the heap of stone, soil, and even puddles in the streets when the city was flooded.

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Interior

Pajero Sport pamper riders through the meter cluster is attractively designed and equipped with back-lit meters which gives the appearance of luxury and easy to read. The system used is capable of playing audio and imbued CD/MP3/WMA USB port. Meanwhile, the steering wheel has been equipped with audio switch controls which can be used adjust the volume, track selections, and sound mode controls.

Pajero Sport cabin feels quite comfortable thanks to the wrapping material for leather seats. Leg and head room is also quite a relief, both in the front, middle, and rear. Luggage space is available quite widely. And there is enough extra space behind the third row seat. We can save a few items covered under the floor cover floor. If the baggage is still deemed less roomy, we can pull the lever in the middle of each row seat to fold it. Mitsubishi claims, reached 866 liter trunk capacity when the third row seats folded and 1649 liters with the third and second row seats folded.

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Performance

The heart pacemaker is still using a model that had already been used Strada Triton, which is 2.5 liter, DOHC, turbodiesel intercooler, with common-rail technology. Power 136 hp at 3500 rpm and 314 Nm of torque at 2000 rpm. Power and torque are channeled into the two rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic trasnmisi INVECS-II.

For power and torque, the Pajero Sport came in second place after the Ford Everest (143 hp and 330 Nm). While the Fortuner was in a position protruding (102 hp and 260 Nm). Despite weighing nearly 2 tons, the performance of the proffered Pajero Sport sufficient. Acceleration 0-100 kpj, finished in 16.3 seconds (14.6 seconds Everest). Acceleration 0-402 meters with a time of 20.6 seconds achieved by speed of 113.8 kpj.

2011 Mitsubishi Outlander GT Review

The Mitsubishi Outlander GT trim level was new last year to the Mitsubishi Outlander lineup and returns for the 2011 model year carrying all the same equipment, such as the all-wheel-drive system from the Lancer Evolution, a potent V6 engine and tight handling dynamics. Other than the price, the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander GT is unchanged, and that's OK. The Outlander stays nicely planted around turns, yet the suspension still offers adequate absorption abilities for the rough road conditions so very common around Detroit after a long winter.

The Rockford Fosgate sound system, which is part of the optional Touring package installed on our tester, sounds great, too. The big wheels and decent ground clearance helped as well.

The premier model in the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander lineup receives a "GT" rear badge along with a "S-AWC" rear decal, the latter alphanumeric designation signifying this crossover's exceptional traction enhancing Super All-Wheel Control system that was originally developed by Mitsubishi engineers for the company's legendary Lancer Evolution high-performance sports sedan.

The 2011 Outlander GT comes equipped with a wide array of standard amenities and convenience features.

The good: The 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander GT's S-AWC system does a fantastic job of keeping the crossover's handling in line, even in wet conditions. The Evolution X's claim to fame is its S-AWC all-wheel-drive system. To review the Mitsubishi Outlander GT S-AWC, we need to keep the Evo in mind.

The S-AWC system means the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander GT gets Mitsubishi's Active Center Differential (ACD), which sends nearly 100 percent of available torque to the front axle under normal conditions, but can divert as much as half of the available torque from the 3.0-liter engine to the rear axle for a 50/50 split. It also gets Super Active Yaw Control (S-AYC), a torque-vectoring system that uses an active differential to send up to 70 percent of torque available on an axle to either the left or right wheel to enhance handling.

The 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander GT S-AWC system has three modes. Torque is still automatically apportioned between the front and rear axles. We put the Outlander's S-AYC to the test on the same mountain roads on which we tested the Acura MDX SH-AWD's torque-vectoring system; however, the roads were slicked with rain this time around, adding an extra level of danger for the GT's S-AWC system to deal with.

The Outlander's instrument cluster featuresan S-AWC indicator that provides information about the operation of the ACD and S-AYC systems. The way the Mitsubishi Outlander GT front end pulls itself back in line is predictable and, if you're not looking for it, nearly transparent. Pushing the Outlander too hard in wet conditions would overwhelm even the S-AWC system. Impressive as the Outlander is, an Evo X it is not.

The world's most uncomfortable third-row seat

Besides the Outlander being generally larger overall, one of the key differences between the Outlander and the Outlander Sport is the availability of a third-row seat that boosts our Mitsubishi Outlander GT model into the seven-seater class.

2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Electric Reviews

2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Reviews

Others say there’s no way the Mitsubishi i-MiEV will fit American frames comfortably. Many reviewers are impressed with the i-MiEv’s performance on the road; the car has more strength than its small frame suggests. The Mitsubishi i-MiEV is top heavy, making it susceptible to crosswinds. Mitsubishi says the i-MiEV averages about 80 miles on a fully charged battery, depending on road and weather conditions. Reviewers say about 50 miles per charge is a realistic range. Eco mode decreases horsepower and allows the brakes to regenerate battery power. After testing the Japanese version of the 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, reviewer opinion doesn’t reveal anything unexpected about the world of electric cars: the i-MiEV is small; battery range is nothing compared to gasoline engines; chargers are scarce; batteries take too long to recharge; and the interior is cramped.

If you're considering buying a pure electric car that seats more than two people, then right now your choices are pretty slim, as in you have just one: the Nissan Leaf. Even at that tempting price, the base ES version of the Mitsubishi i is no stripper, as standard niceties include full power accessories, filtered air-conditioning and even a heated driver seat. For a couple grand more, the SE version adds alloy wheels, upgraded interior trim and upgraded audio. Mitsubishi is claiming a range of 85 miles, which is a bit less than the 100 miles promised by the Nissan Leaf. Charging times vary according to what system you have. A "Level 3" public quick-charging dock can provide 80 percent charge in just 30 minutes, provided you opted for the SE Premium package.

At 2,600 pounds, the Mitsu is fairly light for an electric car; the Nissan Leaf weighs about 700 pounds more. Of course, other all-electric cars are on the horizon as well, one of the more notable ones being the Ford Focus Electric.
The estimated price will be $30,000 before the $7,500 federal tax credit for which electric cars are eligible. The Mitsubishi i-MiEV (pronounced "meev") originally stood for Mitsubishi Innovative Electric Vehicle, but the company now uses MiEV to represent the electric drivetrain, with the tagline "powered by MiEV."

Exterior
At 144.8 inches in length, the Mitsubishi i-MiEV is about an inch shorter than the Mini Cooper and more than 3 feet longer than the Smart ForTwo, a two-seater. It's taller than both at 63.6 inches.

Interior
The i-MiEV's interior is roomier than one might expect, with surprising headroom thanks to the car's tall stature. The i-MiEV's drivetrain consists of a 330-volt lithium-ion battery pack with a capacity of 16 kilowatt-hours of storage, a 63-horsepower electric motor and rear-wheel drive. When equipped with a second charging port, the Mitsubishi i-MiEV can be charged to 80 percent (roughly 80 miles of range) in 30 minutes using a quick-charge station.
