Exterior Very bold and tall stance separates it from all its competitors the only SUV in this price range that is comparable is Toyota Fortuner.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Modern, Comfotable and neet. The entertainment system is a big eye sore and comes from the 1980's. Asence of a modern touch panel and naviagtion(present in fortuner) is a big drawback for a car woth over 25 lacs on road.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox For a 2500 CC engine very responsive and best in the class. fastest pickup among the competitors and excellent offroad ability definately make it a desirable car.
Ride Quality & Handling The ride quality is very good and specially when offroading.
Final Words I was planning to buy the Pajero sport but when I did my research I found that in Thailand and Philippines the car comes with a state of the art touch screen display with navigation and reverse camera and is 5% cheaper than Toyota fortuner. If the company wants to capture Indian market it will need to put its best foot forward and bring in the best and most modern fitments and get the pricing right. It is a beautiful SUV but the company has to realize that at this price point in a mature market like India it can not save much by cutting corners.
Areas of improvement Entertainment system and pricing.
Strong car with a solid feelOutdated stereo with no touchscreen, bluetooth etc
