Hindustan Motors will finally launch the Pajero Sport SUV at the Auto Expo in January 2012. The company planned to introduce the model a while ago, but was unable to arrive at a competitive price due to rising value of Yen which made imports costly.
The company now plans to aggressively localize its upcoming SUV which it will assemble at its Thiruvallur factory in Tamil Nadu, where the current Pajero( recently upgraded to BS IV) is also made. The SUV could be priced in the Rs.20-23 lakh range.
The Pajero Sport gets a 2.5-litre 16 valve inter-cooled turbocharger diesel heart producing 134bhp and 32kgm torque. It comes with Mitsubishi's rally-proven shift-on-the- fly super select 4WD and a high 215mm ground clearance, of which should give it terrific off-road capabilities.
