2009 Mitsubishi Nativa gets total redesign
Mitsubishi is planning to unveil the 2009 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport at the Moscow Auto Show, of all places. The Pajero Sport is just another name for the pickup-based Mitsubishi Nativa that has been soldiering on unchanged for ages now.
The new Nativa replacement will aim for the “active lifestyle” market as the standard Pajero has moved upscale. Features include a 3.5-litre 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.
The styling is certainly attractive, being a cross between the Mitsubishi L200 pickup, a Pajero and an Outlander. It will come here in the latter part of this year.

the car is OK but i feel its level above the ground is too much…maybe for offroading usage..lets wait for it and see…mitsubishi suvs are very strong as offroaders.

Fortuners 4.0 engine is the only thing gud about it . Interiors are cheap . If you can spend more money then buy PRADO , its worth the buy!!

The xterra is not entirely derived from a pick up, it uses the same platform which is the F-Alpha, used by many of nissans trucks.Where as vehicles like the fortuner and the nativa have been developed along side eachother, basically remove the L200 or hilux body and bolt on a nativa or fortuner body. Vehicles like the Xterra have been enginered using the F-Alpha platform, Thats why it is good on the road(more stable compared to one of these nativas) as well as a superb off roader.

This one’s much better than the old boring nativa. The front’s quite similar to the L200. I wonder if it will be assembled in japan or not

Dear Sir,

Is it possible for you to send me some more photographs of new Nativa 2009.
What about the cost factor for new Nativa2009?

Dear Sir
The above car is branded as Pajero Sport.Will this model replace the existing Pajero in UAE or is it actually the new Nativa, which means that the existing Pajero will stay as it is - ofcourse minor changes may be there in the 09 model.Any ideas about that…

Both will likely stay on side-by-side.
