Built on the Triton platform, the Pajero Sport is Mitsubishi's rival to the Fortuner and Everest in South Africa. The 2.4 DI-D versions are well equipped and usually undercut the Toyota on price, and limited runs like the Shogun edition keep interest up. It sells in small numbers, so depreciation is heavier than a Fortuner but used buys are strong value.
