Welcome to our comparison of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport vs Holden Trailblazer for 2017. Huh? What’s a Holden Trailblazer? Initially the Trailblazer was called the Holden Colorado 7 which describes it’s origins as a ute or LCV (Light Commercial Vehicle). It is also the same design as the Isuzu MU-X if you really need to know. \u00a0Nothing wrong with that, as it means a higher level of durability and the the rebranded Holden Trailblazer now falls in line the the US version of the same name and design. The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is nearing \u00a03 years old in it’s current guise and we regard it as one of the best real 4WD and medium size SUV currently available. Both are also wagon versions of their LCV to ute based counterparts the Triton and the Colorado.<\/p>\n

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport vs Holden Trailblazer exterior: No question that both SUVs can be challenging to the eyes but in different ways. The Pajero Sport is the most futuristic or modern designs, essentially a concept design but made reality. The front is aggressive but good looking but the rear is simply futuristic will a vertical heart beat tail lights. The Trailblazer is the opposite of the sleek inspired Pajero Sport. The Trailblazer is not a good looking car or SUV, it is truly a design from any old school South Korean, specifically Daewoo, so it’s budget. We can’t say the design is insulting the tastes of buyer which here aren’t many but more the designers at Holden who clearly ignored the obvious. The Trailblazer is noticeable larger than the Pajero Sport on the outside.<\/p>\n

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport vs Holden Trailblazer interior: The Pajero Sport interior is a nice place to be, it’s not an up to date design although has all the features required in a 2017 SUV. The conservative and simple design is a contrast to the adventurous exterior design but at least it looks and feels good. Note that hard plastics done properly will look no different to claimed higher quality or more expensive and marketed soft touch plastics. The Trailblazer interior has been updated and it doesn’t look like an ‘under construction’ design anymore. It’s design looks good and feels Ok now but there are still obvious cheapness like the prior \u00a0generation steering wheel which is insulting as for the driver it’s cheap folks.\u00a0Easy overall win on the interior comparison part for the Pajero Sport.<\/p>\n

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport vs Holden Trailblazer engines and technology: The Trailblazer has all the basic safety systems and infotainment tech and includes Apple and Android compatibility although sound quality could be improved for the price. The engine is worth a mention for having engine for having a\u00a0 stand out 500Nm worth of torque although only 147Kw which should make shifting the 2.2 tons of Trailblazer a stressful drive. The Pajero Sport likewise has all the safety features and more compared to the Trailblazer.\u00a0The Pajero Sport’s specification trump card is auto brakes in emergencies, surround camera system, adaptive cruise control and many more. Apart from that Pajero Sport engine specs are just as good with 133Kw and 439Nm torque and given that it weighs around 200Kg less than the Holden makes for any perceived short fall.<\/p>\n

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport vs Holden Trailblazer road test: Yet to drive the Pajero Sport so check back later.<\/p>\n

The conclusion to the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Vs Holden Trailblazer is the Pajero Sport. The Pajero Sport looks better inside and out has more features especially in the safety aspect and a better sounding stereo. Sure the updated Trailblazer aka Colorado 7 is a definite improvement over the last model but unless you need the additional size it is missing a lot of features although one thing it has is more interior space. The Trailblazer does not live up to the meaning of it’s branding. In terms of price the Pajero Sport is the best value for money real 4WD regardless of model. There is no reason why you would consider any other similar SUV apart from the looks and perhaps brand.<\/p>\n
