Mitsubishi Montero Sport lives on in Russia

Mitsubishi is planning to unveil the 2009 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport at the Moscow Auto Show, which has become a haven for SUV-loving new-money flamboyance. The Pajero Sport is just another name for the truck-based Mitsubishi Montero Sport that was discontinued in the United States.

The new Nativa replacement will aim for the “active lifestyle” market as the standard Pajero has moved upscale. Features include a 3.5L V6, water-repellent seats, two or three rows of seating, and a waterproof luggage compartment. Also standard will be Mitsubishi’s Super Select 4WD system.
