The Pajero Sport Exceed competes in South Africa’s large SUV segment, alongside rivals like the Toyota Fortuner 2.8 GD-6 VX, Ford Everest 2.0 Bi-Turbo 4WD Platinum, and Isuzu MU-X 3.0 4x4. It’s aimed at families, adventurers, and fleet buyers who want a capable off-roader with premium features and seating for seven. The Exceed trim adds luxury touches like leather upholstery, power-adjustable seats, dual-zone climate control, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, a power tailgate, and a sunroof. Safety is top-tier with 7 airbags, stability control, hill descent assist, and ISOFIX child seat anchors. While it may not have the badge prestige of some competitors, the Pajero Sport stands out for its value, Dakar-inspired durability, and versatile 4WD system—making it a trusted companion for both city life and off-grid exploration.
