As someone who has had 2 lift up tailgates and lots of side opening ones, advantage for lift up include, easier trailer coupling, full open access when coupled, instant sun shade / umbrella roadside etc. It was the decider in the end at last vehicle change when shopping Pajero vs Pajero Sport.
I don't tow at all, and so never realized this was an issue. Thanks for clarifying.
Agree with the sunshade/umbrella part.

New PAJERO SPORT
Product overview
Fused with sedan-like comfort and functionality, the new PAJERO SPORT inherits the PAJERO series off-road capability, reliability and durability in a mid-size SUV.
It was redesigned with the theme of Elevate your Journey. It features more powerful yet refined exterior, high quality and comfortable interior with advanced functions. The new PAJERO SPORT is created to meet the drivers' desire for exploration and adventure.
(1)Exterior design accentuates wide, sculptured and powerful appearance
The MITSUBISHI MOTORS' signature Dynamic Shield front view design concept has been further evolved on the new PAJERO SPORT while securing good visibility, emphasizing the sense of wideness with the headlights continuing from the front grille and the combination lamps at the bumper corners. The higher bonnet of the vehicle exhibits a deeper front face, while a more solid, powerful chrome part design projects a more refined, sophisticated appearance.
(2)Advanced and convenient new components
Easy-to-read 8 inch color LCD meter, and 8 inch Smartphone-Link Display Audio (SDA).
Power Tailgate (safety mechanism included) with a new hands-free feature.
MITSUBISHI Remote Control offers a number of functions that facilitate ease of access. It will send notification to the driver's smartphone to lock the doors via the app when the driver leaves the vehicle with the doors unlocked. The Power Tailgate can be opened or closed by smartphone. In addition, the tailgate reservation system can be preset by smartphone anywhere, which enables the driver to open or close the tailgate automatically when he/she approaches or leaves the vehicle. The keyless operation system is effective between the vehicle and within Bluetooth* operating range.
(3)High quality and comfortable interior
Refreshed floor console and soft padded interior door handles enhance the overall interior look with quality and comfort.
Storage tray that sits under the floor console can be accessible from left and right sides. New AC power outlet added on the existing USB plug at the console rear panel improves usability for all passengers.
(4)Integrated vehicle performance
The 2.4L MIVEC turbo diesel and an 8-speed automatic transmission delivers excellent environmental and smooth performance.
Enhanced safety features with the addition of Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) functions.
The new PAJERO SPORT retains the Super-Select 4WD-II system that delivers optimal traction for all surfaces and confidence-inspiring handling characteristics. The off-road mode with a newly designed switch on 4WD models elevates all-terrain performance and self-extraction capability through the integrated control of engine output, transmission settings and brake power.

Mitsubishi is giving the third-generation Pajero Sport / Montero Sport a mid-cycle refresh with some big design changes at the front and more safety tech.

Just looked at a youtube of the 2020 PS. A bit of styling change for sure. The big thing was the 8" screen for the dash and the different media player layout. On the video it shows a Navy screen different than Waze or Google Navigator. No large blank area of destination information reducing the area of the map. Wonder if they have dropped Android Auto or got a better Navigation program for the new model.

I have had my new PS almost 3 weeks now and love it. I looked at the Mux and my wife loved it but I could not find a comfortable driving position, the steering wheel was too far away for me. I am 6ft 2 tall and need the seat back and I prefer a reclined back when driving distances. With the PS the steering column is telescopic and I could find a sweet spot.
I don't give a dam about the tail lights as that only bothers the people following me. The tow bar kind of distracts from them anyway.
The biggest deal breaker for me was the NZ MMC 10year drive train warranty.
Isuzu only have 3 years. Plus every thing in the Mu x screamed dinosaur.
I tried the Holden Trailblazer and yes heaps of power but thats where it ended. Terrible handling at speed and tinny as. Very noisy, horrible ride.
My plan is to keep it for 10 years then I will be finished with 4x4 as I'll be probably be in a Zimmer frame or mobility scooter [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
My ony gripe is my LG G6 phone only works on bluetooth. I therefore have no satnav. Very annoying seems like missleading advertising to me.
I got the top model in NZ which at $49990 was a bargin compared to other brands. Unfortunately it has no powered tailgate.
But over many years I have learned there is no perfect car they all have compromises.
When is this due in Australia? Says early next year. My gripe is with child seats - I really hope they have relocated the tether points to the back of the seats. If it's still the same ceiling mount crap, then still no go for me
I had my first drive of one today. Exceed. Not very different to QE in that respect, instrument panel is cool, and steering wheel now has twice as many buttons on it.
New SDA (audio system) with volume knobs :-) instead of buttons and larger screen
New front end looks nice, guards and headlights sit a little higher. New DRL and indicator units with turning lights built in. Front camera low under number plate.
Electric tailgate is a handy addition.
Didnt have much time with it being a busy friday afternoon, but hoping to play more next week
Spotted a dark blue QF on the road in Melbourne over the weekend. Looked pretty good. Prompted me to look at Mitsubishi website. Seems they are released now. Haven’t seen anything on the telly. Anyone had a close look?
