Mitsubishi's new ute-based Pajero Sport SUV has been leaked a full week ahead of its reveal. The images published on Philippines website AutoIndustriya confirm what we already suspected – the Pajero Sport will get a nose inspired by the Triton. The car's headlamps have been simplified, and integrate neatly into its 'Dynamic Shield' grille. There are prominent fog lights in the chunky front bumper, and the bash plate has been given a new, more stylised look.

Mitsubishi Motors is banking on SUVs as its future, but the company’s operations chief reckons that even some of those high-riding models are on their way out. Speaking with media in Sydney this week, Trevor Mann, global COO for Mitsubishi Motors, said the large SUV could be on its way out – meaning the Pajero Sport could remain as the biggest SUV you can get from the three-diamond brand when the Pajero (proper!) finally bites the dust.
