These two vehicles are among the most rugged yet family-friendly SUVs on the market: the 2016 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and the 2016 Toyota Fortuner.
Both are diesel-powered, both are priced close to one another in the trim levels we have here - the Mitsubishi being the flagship Pajero Sport Exceed, and the Toyota being the mid-spec Fortuner GXL - and both are here so we can see which we would recommend as the best rugged off-road family vehicle at this price point…

and again mitsubishi wins this comparison as usual, great job mitsubishi.
The Boogeyman : try to ask about the safety & reliability record before giving your comment. Your Mitsubishi may have win some areas but in the long run, Toyota still prevails because again I think this might sound irritating to the ears of Mitsubishi lovers, but safety and reliability plus durability and dependability has been part of Toyota. That is why, Toyota is still the largest car manufacturer because of its long term vision compared to your Mitsubishi who is good for just a couple number of years.
Isn't that the only argument Toyota owners use every time other brand/models eats a Toyota? Jusui Zonaid
@@disco.lemonade Cause thats what matters the most i think...Watch scotty talking about how Mitsubishi makes one of the worst engines
@@streamvision145 that old fart is a die hard toyota fan: 100% biased. i travel a lot to 3rd world countries with shitty road conditions and granted, you see lots of toyotas there especially in rent a cars but guess what, you also see lots of Mitsus. im talking about the pajero/pajero sport and the outlanders. and they aren't even close to be cheap. why they dont sell in the us i don't know. look at suzuki... probably at the same level as toyota in 4x4 and engine quality, and hey you dont see 'em any more around here. toyota, suzuki and mitsubishi are those brands rent a cars trust there, so you tell me
@@disco.lemonade yea bruv i mean i watched reviews about other off-road contests and about 60% of them toyota fans were getting butt hurt i mean c'mon guys toyota isnt the worlds best brand so
fork off
Definitely agree that's why I purchased a Mitsubishi Montero Sport (Pajero Sport) instead of Toyota Fortuner. It is more practical.
Maria Anna Tan , Mitsubishi is winning!!! is heavy machine is better 4x4 DNA and suspension off road many years !!!
Test drove both, Pajero has the best suspension with more features at a lower price, it's very tiring driving the Fortuner even on city roads.
mitsu has more efficient engine, tried and tested reliability.. i like it!
Edward Reyez I think it's the other way around 🤔
@@lanpatrick7182 not really, the 4d56t has been around for donkeys years and I have never had one fail, compare that to the new 2.8 that's worse on fuel, has a dpf issue and has aluminium valve bodies which warp an seize sending the engine to destination fucked if it gets a bit too hot
one of the best suv ever, Pajero Sport
mitsubishi has "the best" suspension. hands down! up to the safety features and newest engine. pajero/montero sport is the better option here.
Mitsubishi needs to bring this to the usa, they need a image overhaul.
i think it's useless cuz there's the ford expedition and the explorer the two fav suv in the US
the pajero sport is available in the US, it even says it on the US website
i like the pajero sport and I'm just afraid of the SUA problem
Sean Tabada SUA not REAL!!
yup SUA are not real.
Watched the video for 8 min and have no idea about the look of Dashboard! Bravo 👏!
The reason fortuner exists is caused by brand toyota.
tsk it aint funny nigga
Hahahaha, now it's funny!
@guru gara well said
I was expecting for the Pajero's rear design to grow on me but hasn't happened yet, still finding it somewhat strange.
As an owner/driver, you will not have to look at it - it should not be a concern to you. Only those behind you will have to suffer it.
I bought one . . . not for the way it looks from behind.
That Mitsubishi is a real looker.
CentralObs
A: Hey look that's Pajero Sport
B: You mean 2018 CR-V with Mitsu badge? fix your eyes mate
Hyper Vanilo or 2016 pajero sport with Honda badge lol.
In your dreams
You like those rear tail lights?! It's ass looks like a spaceship. Give me the Fortuna exterior with Pajero everything else and we'd be on a winner!
pajero is born with a offroading DNA ... no need to compare
shanazirk well said
Its based on the ute.
So true, i hope they make new facelift with the rear though, its very hideous
Exactly
Idk about it tho in my country the Pajero is different from the Montero, which is shown in the vid. Also, the Montero now is being called Pajero Sport in other countries.
Well, kinda doubting the old montero with its l300 modified engine. Thats just me. Idk about the new one.
finally a fair compare i was waiting for it !! thank you guys for the review and the compare im always says the pajero sport 2016 is better than the fortuner both are good names but if u talk about the price here in my country we have the v4 and v6 of both of those cars but the problem is the price of fortuner v4 same the price of the pajero sport v6 !! and the v6 fortuner more fantasy price better to get land cruser if u add more ... so about me i will chose the pajero ^^
I had the Pajero for a year now and I'm very happy with it.
The handling on the rural Thai roads is just amazing. The smaller Toyota we had b4, I had to slow down on many corners that wore bumpy. With Pajero I can keep full speed.
I'm always in control and the car does what I want it to do. Love it!
BTW, the third row seats are adjustable;)
It was the lack of the safety features in the Toyota that made us choose the Pajero. Never regret that choice
I drove the 2wd for 500 km over New Year. I like it but found it a little soft for my taste, especially on rough roads and going around corners. maybe the 4wd would handle better with more weight in the front. If I were to buy it I would change the shocks to 8 level adjustable profender monotube shocks (cost about 32,000 baht)
@@mathsunmasked56
Mine is also 2WD and I would not say it's soft like the suspension in a Cadillac, no. It is comfy ride yes however, it performs very well in high speed (motorway at 140-150 km/h) and on rough roads in rural thai-roads and taking corners. I drove some rally cars in my youth, so I push the cars limits more than average person would do:). I have control of the car like I never had with the Toyota we had b4. Car is pretty much exactly 1 year old now and soon time for 40.000km service. Yes, I do drive a lot and I love it:). Got a speeding ticket a couple of weeks ago. Crap, it blow my budget, 300Baht*LOL*
Cheers
and I thought the Pajero Sport was a bad SUV
good job Mitsubishi!
I watched the previous comparison and really couldn't understand how yourll picked the fortuner . Now it makes sense . Better than that i ignored your review and went and got my self a pajero sport 😀
+dhanu347 Nice one!
toyotas are great for long term use but unfortunately most are terribly under equipped
dennis cheruiyot what equipment?
mohd shakir brah the base model comes with the ugliest looking Steel wheels
"toyotas are great for long term use" this statement is subject specially if toyota is only offering 4 years worth of warranty and mitsu 5 years.
agree base model sucks hahahaha
dennis cheruiyot not all toyota models are tough..
have tried driving both automatic trannys of both SUV and i kind of like the 8 speed from Mitsubishi. so ill go with Montero Sport. or Pajero Sport.
oh i see that u are a man of culture as well.. the Montero
@@PasalaKool In a whole continent of LatinAmerica, in Spain and the Philippines it's called Montero, cause Pajero means wanker
I am very happy with my Outlander but I so want the Pajero Sport. Sadly it is not available here in Europe.
the best thing about mitsu 4wd system is they offer 4h mode that allows you drive in all wheel without locking differentials.
you guys make the best videos and do the most honest reviews.
love from india ❤
+Amulya gupta Thanks!
About damn time you made a video of these two.
Paul and Matt are so good together.
Oh... you mean the cars? Yes, they are good too.
CarAdvice.com I was honestly referring the cars, but yes, they are also good reviewers. 👍haha
i too was thinking of that .......
I cant see this review, Pajero in spanish means "person who loves masturbation". Yeah... im not joking, at least here in argentina means that hahaha. Also... the fortuner here is called Toyota SW4
Julian Grimoldi that's why "pajero sport" has another name ( Montero sport),lol
Julian Grimoldi LMAAAAOOOO
exactly, that what means.... "eres un pajero" for example. instead, the "pajero" here is called "montero"
Douglas calderon at least here, doesnt mean nothing.
Douglas calderon yeah, i know... but the word doesnt mean nothing, at least here in argentina. You can suppose that comes from the word "monte"... and yes... probably is that, but... "montero" per se doesnt mean nothing.
Exceptional ride for the Pajero Sport/Montero Sport/ Shogun Sport. Rides like a car. I love the rear lights.
Most people hate them but I agree, think they look great.
We own a 5 seat Pajero Sport Exceed, lovely car for both on and off road and going to the tip, gearbox is nice for the daily and just looks gorgeous with the DRLs, she was the perfect replacement for our 2003 DHD Pajero Exceed; we did consider the fortuna while looking for a replacement for the old girl.
Great review and comparison as always blokes, both good cars for the great southern land.
WIlhelm , I have had mine for 12 months now, I got the base model 5 seater because I don't need the extra rear seats getting in the way or the extra electronic do dads. I can honestly say it was a wise choice, good value for money, good warranty and after sales service, very quiet and comfortable on and off road, very economical to run, it is actually more comfortable and uses less fuel than my Holden SV6 Sportwagon it replaced. On highway trips fuel consumption can drop down to as low as 7.2 L/100klm and towing my heavy tandem work trailer it averages 11 L/100klm. My only gripe is the paint seems very thin, after a few off road trips there are signs of bushes rubbing along the sides that seem to have rubbed through the top coat, also the metal body panels seem very thin and can dint very easily. Other than that I am very happy and glad I chose the Mitsy Sport. 👍

Based on many reviews we didn’t even bother with the Fortuna. Tested the Holden Trailblazer earlier this year, and more recently the Isuzu MU-X and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport. While the way the PS tethers a child seat is odd, the comfort, safety, technology, and off road options beat the MU-X by a mile. Obviously Trailblazer is no longer available - but PS definitely beat that too. Value is amazing. No contest really in my opinion. We can’t wait to pick ours up soon!!! I’m coming from a Holden Colorado LS-X MY2015 - the fact that I can hear myself think in the PS due to reduced noise, and doesn’t feel like I’m sitting on a plank of wood will be a welcome change.
I'm a Toyota fanatic, but I miss having the Pajero/Montero in the US. Mitsubishi isn't doing too well up here.
ThatGearHead here too their sales having been going down for years they need to put more features into their cars.
Hing holo
ThatGearHead because american doesnt mind petrol and pollutuon cars create.. they like gas guzzler cars..
Now that they're shifting to an all crossover/suv strategy in the US, and they have investment from Nissan, they might just bring the Montero Sport back to the states. I know I would consider buying one if they did.
ac12311 they already did on México, but it comes with the 3.0l petrol engine that makes only 216hp and like 210lbs-ft of torque
Finally, a show for car buyers. It helps us find the best value for our money. Keep it up! 😁
Mitsubishi Pajero nr 1
MITSUBISHI MONTERO SPORT IS THE BEST THAN THE TOYOTA FORTUNER IN ALL ASPECTS...
.Toyota's dependability is unmatched..and it tends to retain the market value better. Nice aggressive design...love it...
Always like watching your reviews. Keep up the good work guys!
Thanks for watching!
I recently (July 2020) bought Pajero Sport exceed version. I had full choice between Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, Toyota Fortuna, Isuzu MUX. Engine and ride in Mitsubishi was real selliing point. That and options in exceed version plus the brilliant Super Select II 4wd system, which makes a fool like me look good when it gets tough.
Pajero/Montero Sport is the best!
Its a great car the pajero sport !!
2:30 those third row passengers should just be happy we actually have somewhere to put them😀😀
im getting a pajero sport :)
I like Toyota Cars like Land Cruiser Prado 2018. It is so cool
price is x2 - x3 for LC compared to Montero/pajero
Well done good for you
THIS IS THE REAL PAJERO ruclips.net/video/XBL8p2PO9OI/видео.html
In this Video that mitsubishi is a Montero sports
you can get a good pajero for like 35k, with leather heated seats, multimedia, and auto transmission, at that price point you can only get a gas engine manual toyota with no multimedia
Love to see Mistabishi Pajero Sport vs Ford Endeavour 2016
chetan mehta and Mitsubishi is the winner!!!
chetan mehta and Ford is the winner!!!
Pajero sport is the winner like if you agree
The pajero sport in the third row the view is just the same bro and fortuner was the best and the coolest thumbs up if you agree
Pajero Sport is nicer then Fortuner bacause the Pajero has more power and more efficient. There is nothing like the Pajero sport I like.
At that price point there's no doubt the PS is the better option.
Mitsubishi always win, this Mitsubishi sport design i think is the best looking SUV in the market so far. Very nice review guys.
I wished Mitsubishi should have lost, since how they design cars are now very awful. Toyota should have won this test.
You need to compare the top spec fortuner with the pajero sport
+Gabriel Jose Garcia Why?
they compare cars based on price range not model
walang 4x2 G o V variant sa australia puro 4x4.
Aye because they're definitely price competitive there...
Toyota Fortuner is just about the look .
But Pajero Is value for money.
Fortuner interior is so bad for this price range.....
Just want to inform you guys, few of the South East Asian Fortuner got transmission problem. It's jerky to shift from P to D, and sometimes there's a clanking sound from the transmission. Are you guys experiencing it there in Australia?
got the same problem with my fortuner but in aussie they use 2.8 liter engine not 2.4 liter we got here in Indonesia and Malaysia but now my Toyota already fix this problem on my car
tokekkk i agree my friends has a problem to his fortuner
tokekkk i think it also in indonesian market too
tokekkk Ford wins this issue. They're the number one when it comes to transmission problem
Hi All own a 2016 Fortuner , I tell you now no issues here in Australia with gearbox, 8 months ago I completed 8000km trip from Sydney to Darwin, Kakadu towing a Camper Trailor, cruised beautifully along our freeways,I tell you now I had my doubts if I should of bought a Prado, but tell you now Fortuner perfect vehicle power to weight ratio , had no real issues, waded perfectly across East alligator River, only thing I did when we got back to Sydney I booked it in for Service Toyota to dump oil & water coolant flush, but all good.
pajero sport is obviously clear winner
But why do people hate it so much
When it comes to looks I still choose the Fortuner. And it also has an incredible features. Pajero on the other hand is best off road.
I am so excited are 2016 Pajero sport will be received on next 2 or 3 weeks
Rommel Louie Asri how is ur experience with it ?
Mitsubishi by far!! We have in our family and old Pajero, brand new from 1990 still running like time hasn't passed, simply amazing we trust Mitsubishi over Toyota.
Jaice Alejandro wow its a 29 year old car
Here in the Philippines, the Fortuner -- in my view -- is just way too expensive! It's not a bad vehicle obviously, but just expensive.
I own a fortuner.... But pajero is a better suv than Fortuner
I own a 2010 Fortuner and pajero...bt I just feel the same power....well Toyota has a better road presence
Pajero sport the most advance acceleration gearbox than the Toyota Fortuner still using the old acceleration differential gear box
Mitsubishi!!!
yaaaay i love mitsubishi as well :D
Meanwhile in India fortuner is king.
Btw pajero sport not sold there
Reliability is questionable for the Mitsubishi especially from a manufacturer that turns out soulless disposable white ware with wheels .
The Pajero Sport is actually a lot more reliable than the Fortuner now, Toyota are having too many issues with their new diesels and the Mitsi 2.4L diesel is a really good engine.
I am a former Prado owner as well but Mitsubishi are ahead these days.
Pros with Mitsubishi SUVs over Toyota: has better on and off road balance and less risk of rolling over if ever you lose your steering control or have a puncture at high speed. All the new Toyota's are notorious for this instability. This has got to be the most important thing SAFETY. Fuel economy Mitsubishi is top here. Alot more comfortable. Cons: once you have an engine problem with a new Mitsubishi that's the end, one problem will lead to another and you'll end up spending your entire life savings fixing one thing after another, any third Generation and above Pajero owner here I'm sure can agree to this FACT! Loads of experienced Toyota mechanics, not so much the case with Mitsubishi. Parts also way more expensive and harder to find than Toyota.
Toyota: Pros: Reliability. Better resale price. Spares more readily available and often cheaper than Mitsubishi. Cons: Watch those curves at high speed, many have had accidents whilst driving at high speed around curves and high speed into puddles.
Don't get me wrong but Mitsubishi SUVs are amazing yes but once they start having engine problems they can teach you a thing or two about life's uphill battles.
Wilhelm Hesse You’re wrong at the Toyota part men, The Mitsubishi is actually Cheaper with way above safety and tops specs, Unlike the fortuner Way more expensive lacks out of safety and specs.😇 P.S. I’m not triggered
do everest vs pajero
I note in the comments that some viewers claim the Toyota is dearer because of reliability, however I bought three Pajeros, one after the other, ending with the 2004 model and I found them super reliable. I have been driving German cars since 2006 because they have far softer suspensions which I need for my ruined back. From watching this show, I would be prepared to test drive the new Pajero, in the hope that the suspension has improved enough for my bad back. In my experience I have found the German cars ride better and have superior engines but overall reliability is definitely in the Japanese camp.
Toyota Fortuner is my dream car but i after watching this video ... i'l be buying the pajero ...
Triskelis by
Buy a Fortuna mate, you will regret it after driving the PS and it continually changes gear due to its small engine and eight speed gear box,
Why?
yaaaay
Hi Guys,
Just want to know where did you guys film that i would like to take my Pajero up into the bush so please let me know where you guy filmed that.
Thanks Jai
I made the right choice then!
1Life Resist what was it ?
pajero
me too. just bought mine today lol PS 2017
congrats bruv
Great video! I have a Outlander and would love to upgrade to the Pajero Sport one day. Looks an amazing car!!
Pajero Sport has an excellent suspension and safety features.
Crapy Boot space in Fortuner has made up my mind for that car .
agreed with the reviewer..pajero sport rocks..!
Dakar rally wrc pajero 12 wins toyota 0 win😁😁😁
In the last episode u concluded fortuner was best but now it's Pajero
u guys confused me again....?
Pajero Sport now has seven-seat option.
CarAdvice.com or Pajero pays you guys more this time?
you're saying they're corrupt bec they disagree with you? lol
I remember their last review on Pajero Sport it had only 5 seats. Pajero Sports has a better Off road technology and better suspension and many cool stuff than Fortuner
Seems like such an odd reason to lose the last comparison but win this one. PS beats the Fortuna in basically every aspect except dicky seats....until now!
Pajero is better for performance than Fortuner but Fortuner is better in design than Pajero. I mean Fortuner is more handsome than Pajero.
I dont like Pajero's rear design..... if they change something like Fortuner has than I'll buy next day....
dshiningsword some people love it, some people dont. in my own perspertive the design was something futuristic that would distinguish among the rest. :-)
dshiningsword
Yeah I'll have to agree with you on this
Yeah, the tail end is ugly, or should i say an acquired taste.
dshiningsword but the body is thin
dshiningsword no
mitsubishi better 4x4 mitsubishi heavy machine and wild!!! Toyota only cars but mitsubishi is everywhere is very big company. Mitsubishi is in the land, sea, air and space!!!
And pajero has electronic parking brake, fortie doesnt.
Not a good thing man.
I've had mine get stuck on in the middle of the Bush. Not fun.
the Indian variant of fortuner comes well equipped with navigation, leather finished interiors,lane assist etc. Got no idea why this variant does not have these features.
Because they based their comparison on the price.
I would've never thought Lil Mitsubishi Could've beat Mighty Toyota at anything.
But the Toyota Fortuner looks SO cool. Atleast better than the Pajero Sport.
Pajero is my favorite
hard to tell which is which when you're insde haha
Fortuner has a jerky transmission.
Allthough I like its exterior, Pajero sport is just better in terms of performance.
No it is not??????
Love my Pajero/Shogun/Montero Sport 😍
it's pajero sport
Pajero Sport has unpleasant width to height proportion that is less eyes catchy than Ford Everest's outlook. It looks so narrow.
Pajero is born for off roading😉☺
mitsubishi wins coz its top of the line model with complete package. compare to toyota base model used in this test. its not fair. top of the range fortuner got 18inch alloy wheels like the pajero has. it also comes with LED headlights. as well as paddle shifter too. fortuner has eco & sport mode settings which i believe pajero doesn't have one. fortuners tail gate auto matically closed with just a touch of a button
Pajero All The Way
Why did you compare different variant?
I think the fortuner used here is the cheapest variant while the pajero is the top spec.
I hope you could compare the same top variant of both brands thank you
Btw I own a pajero sport and It's all worth it.
More power guy's
They used the top variant because the cheapest and middle dont have 4 WD
ilove my mitsubishi
Can't go 4WD on the Fortuner on tar? Like why? I'd go 4WD on tar esp. if it's rainy or flooded.
It is fine as long as you go straight only because there is no center differential. When you turn, it results to winding up in transmission with 4WD engaged. In previous generation fortuner, it was permanent 4WD and had a center diff but no 2wd mode. Pajero/Montero sport is same as previous fortuner wherein it has center differential but it has the option for 2wd to save fuel.
Endeavour lover thoko like
Lol
Why don't we have these in America! These cars are beautiful!
wow i will buy Mitsubishi thank you
the heater switches on the pajero sport looks like cheap shit, seriously
Iam fortuner fanboy but after watching i fell for pajero sport
Mitsubishi is the first japanese made four wheel drive
only pajero sport....beacause mitsubishi built quality better than toyota......
Lahiru Rajapaksha I think your wrong for sure
LOL That's pretty absurd. Ever heard Toyota Century mate?
It’s the other way around.
Toyota's always rank better in consumer reports. Habai service interval eka hondai Pajero eke, running cost adui ethakota.
Lahiru Rajapaksha YES
I request you people to do a video on TATA SAFARI VARICOR400 OFF ROAD AND ON RAOD TOO. HIT LIKE
you get nothing on a toyota
just emblem
yea
Umm how about reliability
Nothing unless its will still running last for like 20+ years
@@sehhmie5483 Your car will never last for 2 decades with no proper care and maintenance even if its a Toyota. I own a 21 year old Mitsubishi and its still in good condition.
Hey where is the ford everest in the mega test the everest is low end and the montero and fortuner are almost high end unfair redo the mega test pls with all of the cars high end

Hehe im 2016 fortuner owner its really good and capable but i love the new montero for its class design and safety features
Victor Torres Again?
I'd take the PS anytime, even with my eyes closed..lol. It' s amazing how many standard features it has and still cheaper.
