7.2 / 10The Pajero Sport is the UAE buyer's no-nonsense 4x4 — body-on-frame toughness, Super Select 4WD, seven seats, and a known-reliable diesel all for under AED 155k. It won't dazzle with tech or cabin refinement, but it will take you deep into the dunes or across Oman with little drama.
Who it's for — Families and overlanders who need genuine off-road capability on a budget — weekend dune-bashing, mountain trails, or long GCC road trips — and want low running costs over flashy features.
