I drove both before opting for the Pajero Sport. It was more comfortable and had a better feel behind the wheel, with the fortuner feeling very harsh and rudimentary. I have no regrets 12 months later. Loving the Mitsubishi.

I bought 2020 Pajero Sport Exceed 12 months ago. I looked at Toyota Fortuna and Isuzu MUX as well. The Fortuna is a touch better offroad, but the Pajero Sport is a better car everyday and has more features and tech options.

Thanks for your review, just placed an order for a new Pajero Sport after driving both the Mitsubishi and Toyota. The full time 4WD option , better road handling and much nicer interia of the Pajero Sport made the decision a no brainer for me. Extra bonus was that the Mitubishi was $2K cheaper than the best price I could get from any Toyota dealers in WA. It also came with a 10 year warranty!

the best people to listen to are the ones that own the car and go off road in it and 98% of the comments in this review say the pajero is better and not just in this review too and dont forget that a lot of people that do reviews are payed by the manufacturer to talk the vehicle up

I have to disagree. I have friends that drive the Toyota and I have the Mitsubishi. In pretty much all conditions the Mitsubishi wins, including when we swap cars. Unfortunately Toyota think that they are another BMW and can charge more for the badge. So the Mitsubishi is the winner all day every day in my book.

We bought the Fortuner. Although it’s the mid-spec GLX model, towing a 6x4 box trailer loaded with 400KG payload plus two adults and a kid in the car, 2 suitcases and a fridge in the boot and some extra stuff…overtaking other cars on the freeway was a breeze! Often sitting on 100-110km/h the fuel consumption was 11.2L. Although never tried the Pajero Sport so can’t compare, we are very happy how the Fortuner performed.

bought 2020 pajero sport , it works all right , very comfortable , traveled over 20k now from mel to sydney and to Brisbane with 3 tank feul easy.

I just bought a fortuner, it perfom very well and I'm enjoying it

We bought 2 Fortuners 12 months ago and really disapointed.. 2 starter motors and a new set of injectors later found ourselves stuck getting them towed into the workshop ourselves because Toyota warranty apparently didnt cover this...beware no roadside assistance and depending on where you buy it from little care factor from the dealer until forced...poor form.

Mate what track is that? Looks sensational

I’d go the Pajero and get it tuned.

I've got the Exceed 2021 Exceed. $10,000 cheaper than the cowboy badge. And has 10 years warranty. Taken to Stockton and Redhead beaches and drove around my mates brand new Prado and hiluxs. All cars had less than 3000km and the Pajero was light years ahead in the sand. Totally disagree with this review. On muddy fire trails the Pajero Sport is brilliant too. Diff lock works well but hardly use it as the traction mode settings work awesome. Your review didn't even explain them. As far as luxury the Pajero has air con ducted through the roof to the third row (I have dogs) and all seats can lie flat if you sleep in it. Was absolutely no comparison to me. And reached the opposite conclusion to you guys. Also, the fuel economy while commuting is around 7-8L 100km in traffic.... Pajero for the big win.

Would like to see a review which includes the Everest and new MUX. Those fold up seats in the Fortuner take up so much room….

he looks like King Horik in " Vikings "

I am still convinced 4x4 australia have no idea what they are talking about, please stop posting crap. Both my mates Prado's got stuck in a farm off-roading and my Pajero sport crawled through with NO issues. I can tell you I have made regular trips to Vic High country with no issues on capability, Stop being so bias with Toyota!!

Greetings from KERALA, INDIA. I am big fan of Toyota fortuner ( manual transmission)

Just purchased a new fortuner after test driving both. I used to own a Triton Ute and found that whenever I washed it water would leak into the cab due to poor quality door and window seals. I noticed that the Pajero sports appeared to be exactly the same. The Pajero sports door handles feel extremely weak and feel like they’re going to break and fall off when opening and closing the doors. The Mitsubishi also lacks alot of power considering we test drove one without a bullbar or tow bar and the fortuner had all the extras and was far more responsive off the mark at roundabouts or traffic lights. For us we chose the fortuner because of the additional power, Toyotas customer service which we have always had positive experiences with when we have owned Toyotas in the past and the fact that it just feels like the build quality is superior to the Pajero. For those on a tighter budget yes the Pajero may be a good vehicle but given we want to tow with our fortuner and needed the extra power we decided to go the Toyota.

If you can afford it, skip these two & get the LC 150 Prado 👌 Verrry niiice

We love our new Fortuner. The Mitsi "didn't get a leg in" mainly due to the Child Seat Anchor points being above the Rear Door. (we prefer them to be behind the 2nd Row Seats). Next, the Toyota Dealer and Spare Parts Network is hugeeee. Want anything for a Mitsi and you need to go to a major town or city. Fortuner shares the same engine and drivetrain with Hilux, so parts should be fairly easy to source. Also, is the Mitsubishi company themselves..... they didn't renew Pajero because they openly said they were moving away from 4wd's and larger vehicles, because the market wants small SUV's. This then makes me think their after sales supply might not be very good in 5-10 years time.

Got the 2021 fortuner krusade and nothing but issues like with all the Diesel engines including the v8 diesel, injector issues, turbo issues, also the dpf. Toyota use to be reliable up till the 80 series cruiser and live axle front hilux. After that’s gone nothing but downhill and they rely on the badge for reliability. So sold it cheap and got me the Paj Sport and have to say so much better even towing in the high country and great dividing range where is cold and wet and slippery going from gravel/dirt to bitumen towing a small camper 1.6t so much better as you can select AWD and you get no under steer like I experienced in the Toyota.

I choose Mitsubishi pajero because the driving performance better very good handling especially when cornering and Mitsubishi best for speeding on offroad and highway the Dakar rally champion

Mitsubishi pajero. can travel assurance in rainy season

I'm getting more and more convinced you guys haven't got a clue what you're talking about. Unsubscribed.

I think that this reviewis a very biased opinion anyways as I have the Pajero Sport and feel that it is much better than the Fortuner.. of which I also am quite familiar with

4wd 24/7 panel rate the Triton best bang for buck, reliable, warranty, designed with real 4wd in mind. Save $ and buy another toy. Toyota owners are like Collingwood supporters.

Toyota Fortuner Crusade versus Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Exceed | 4X4 Australia 😁 mitsubishi xpander vs toyota innova

I hv a pajero sport 2020. It has better assistance in the wheels for making sudden moves and it’s more easy to drive, and the suspension is better. The Fortuner feels like you are driving a tractor when you want to make a turn and feels like you are driving a Hilux since it’s suspension is so stiff you could end up having Kirby failure 😣 😂.

The winner is the one with more than half a million miles 10 years from now . That land mark is Toyota territory with the long runner 2.7 gas engine , not inspiring, and lack power but very reliable. The only iron engine block left. ( aluminum is junk in comparison .)

Transmission in the Pajero and tech overall is much better that the outdated Fortuner!

Mitsubishi the king very very very gooood five star cross country winner

Mitsubishi pajero is the greatest king of champions Guinness books of world Record, cannot challenge by Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota, Nissan, Isuzu,range rover , Mercedes,and many others brand , only Mitsubishi can invented the new style super select gearbox which can shifting in 100 kmph very very best driving performance in handling stablity cornering driffting sliding manuvering sterling

Stop saying cars we (USA) don’t have. I’m so jelly

I own pajerosport and my sister own new fortuner i drove her car and feel that pajero sport suspension are too floaty especially in indonesian road that are all uneven and bumpy , also the seat in pajerosport are very tiring for long trip than fortuner. Engine power low end are very lag compared to fortuner even the fortuner in indonesia are only 149hp 2.4 engine. Overall i regret with my decision 😅

I upgraded my 200 series to a Mitzy and never looked back.

Fortuner is my pick, more guts and better quality.

As a fortuner owner in india i really miss mitsubishi pajero

I have the fortuner and love it

iv watched several of these comparisons and the split over what to buy is 50/50 . some say pajero is better off road , you say fortuna is .... guess its subjective ... what swaying me to pajero is it seems like toyota attract the dick head drivers on the road .. Camry drivers are the worst .. and now these camry drivers are upgrading to the suv .. i cant be in that crowd .. :P

Pajero”s engine is gutless unfortunately! Everything else is perfect

TOYOTA

Good grief, such a bias review from a toyotaphile no less! In every aspect of the review, the Paj Sport was slightly better or ahead, but based on the only thing lacking … a bit of ‘pickup and go’ and the reviewer opts to choose the Foretuner! Time for Toyota to lift their game IMO - old platforms, old tech, boring vehicles.

Mitsubishi for me. Much better layout for a very tall driver. Toyota just don't seem interested in making their vehicles suitable for tall people.

Your commenters are right, you are a biased channel. Glad I unsubscribed.

No matter how good the features are in pajero sports it the ugliest looking car in Australia. Fortuner win 🥇..

Fortuner is not even close to pajero 😂 pajero is your winner 🏆 hatts off

The Everest is better than both of these.

i liked the idea of the Pajeros tech until I found out it was garbage and the reversing camera was a potato
