South Africans can finally get a taste of the Aspire nameplate as Mitsubishi has announced two models bearing the name have been added to the Pajero Sport range, Briefly News reports.

The Aspire name has been a symbol of premium sportiness and technology across some of Mitsubishi’s most successful markets, including Australia. The addition of the duo brings the total Pajero Sport model count to five.

The Aspire models will be available in both 4x2 and 4x4 guises. Aspire derivatives cater for customers who desire the traditional capability, versatility, durability and comfort of the Pajero Sport, but who also want to make a bold statement and stand out from the crowd. Only two colours will be seen on Aspire models in order to set them apart from the rest of the Pajero Sport range. Those hues are Jet Black or White Diamond, with a two-tone roof. Black roof rails, a black front grille and 18-inch alloy wheels – also in black – complete the exclusive look.
