Any driver will be able to distinguish a diesel car from a gasoline engine, thanks to the ringing rumble of the engine at the time of idling. The 2.4-liter turbo engine is a novelty for cars designed for the Russian sales market.

Mitsubishi specialists explained this by saying that this model had to be exported from Thailand. This contributed to the formation of several difficult situations with the certification of the car in the diesel version. Therefore, the manufacturer Mitsubishi Pajero Sport decided to start selling with the petrol version of the V6 3.0.

Diesel has a few differences from gasoline engines. The power of the new diesel engine is 181 hp, the peak 430 Nm can be achieved at 2500 rpm. This ability of an SUV has a positive effect on the quality of off-road driving. With a quiet rhythm, Pajero Sport spends no more than 8 liters of diesel, which is enough for 900 km. This quality car is perfect for traveling long distances.

In order to stretch the most peak torque values, the developers have thought up a system of variable valve timing. Due to this, the diesel engine responds to pressing the gas pedal without jumps in engine speed, and more smoothly and linearly.

Modern turbodiesel installed in Pajero Sport 4N15. During operation, such an engine produces much less noise, consumes less fuel and meets all Euro-5 norms and standards.

Excellent features of the engine 4N15:

•  there are two camshafts;
•  equipped with a turbine;
•  direct injection is installed.

This was made possible thanks to the excellent characteristics of the turbo diesel.

The suspension has become much more comfortable, retaining its qualities: indestructibility and strength.
