Welcome to the new Subaru Outback vs Mitsubishi Pajero Sport comparison for 2019. The choice to compare the two is due to compareable price and purpose. The Outback as it’s name suggests is capable of going ‘outback’ which it is but not to any sort of challenge the the branding suggests. The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is a genuine 4WD with start of the art off road traction technology and capability. Conversely the Pajero Sport branding implies it is ‘sporty’ drive as much as the Outback is capable of going ‘outback’. Note that there is a updated 2020 updated Outback now in full release – these are notes on the 2019 model.<\/p>\n

Subaru Outback vs Mitsubishi Pajero Sport exterior design : The Outback is a Ok looking car (it’s not an SUV) it does look awkward front and rear on. Designs are after all a personal opinion. However you would need to have a mental check up if you call the Outback a good looking car – because it’s not. The Pajero Sport is a good looking SUV and unique in the class. It stands out regardless of colour but being futuristic. Sure some many regard the design as awkward \u00a0in some parts however overall it does work and we think one of the better looking SUVs on sale at the close of 2019.<\/p>\n

Subaru Outback vs Mitsubishi Pajero Sport interior: The interior design of the both models are completely conservative, variations on an industry template. The Outback interior is a nice place to be with quality materials. It is the best description of the interior no more or less. It has lots of space but only in terms of length. The Pajero Sport interior is a nice place to be but only because you mentally adjust to the design, acknowledging that it is ultimately based on a LCV or light commercial vehicle aka the Triton. You can tell by the family resemblance on the outside as well as the inside but they do look different The interior materials are OK and best described as nice though not on the same level of niceness as the Outback. We prefer the seating position in the Triton asset’s more upright but the higher quality materials in the Outback.<\/p>\n

Subaru Outback vs Mitsubishi Pajero Sport engines and technology: The Pajero Sport only has one engine option, a reasonably powerful turbo diesel shared with the Triton ute. The engine is paired with the 8 speed automatic unique to the Pajero Sport so should be more economical and faster than the Triton. Safety systems were very good when released with feature like adaptive cruise control, auto emergency brakes, surround camera system and more which are more than many real 4WDs at the same price or more expensive at the time of this review. On top of these the Triton has one of the most advanced on and off road 4WD system currently available. The Outback has a OK engine options but the base 2.4 petrol is just adequate. The 6 cylinder petrol is the only engine worth getting if you want any sort of performance. The safety systems in the Outback is the most advanced available in the price bracket BUT only in the top range version.<\/p>\n

The conclusion to the new Subaru Outback vs Mitsubishi Pajero Sport comparison is the Pajero Sport. It;s clear that both have been designed for different purposes. The Pajero Sport is a genuine off road 4WD and packed with features for that, however it also has the features to handle urban duties just as well as urban biased SUVs. The Outback is a high rise wagon based on the Liberty or Legacy sedan and it is biased to urban and weather effected sealed roads with trail capability. The AWD system is for slippery and low traction conditions like snow, ice and light dirt. Any other terrain and out of it’s design brief. In essence the Pajero Sport is the better compromise that’s OK on road and great off road. In comparison the Outback is best only on certain conditions.<\/p>\n
