With the Pajero/Montero/Shogun name attached, this chassis-based Mitsubishi was one of the last vehicles built by the Japanese car-maker on a light-utility vehicle.
The Shogun Sport was offered with the name Montero or Pajero depending on the market where it was offered. It featured a small body on a high chassis taken from the Mitsubishi L200 pickup truck. But there was a different bodywork and, of course, a different interior.
The styling resembled the one from the L200, but with a different front fascia. It did, somehow, have a look of a station-wagon on stilts since it didn't have the spare wheel in the back. It was under the trunk. With its small windows and straight roofline, it looked faster than it actually was.
Inside, the Pajero/Shogun/Montero Sport featured plastic wooden trims, plastic dashboard and interior door panels. The center console was made out of plastic as well. Despite its long cabin, it was available as a 5-seat only. The rear seat passengers didn't have too much legroom, but it was fair even for above-average ones.
For the engine, the most common unit found under the hood was a 2.5-liter turbodiesel mated to a standard 5-speed manual. A low-range stick was next to it. Unlike its bigger brother, the Pajero/Montero/Shogun SUV, it didn't feature the intelligent traction system with three differentials. It was fitted with a classic 4x4 on-demand system with either rear or all-wheel drive without a center differential. But at least it was fitted with a limited-slip differential. An automatic version was available as well and, on some specific markets, a 3.0-liter V6 unit.
