Mitsubishi Pajero Sport successor has boxy body, may drop Sport designation
The replacement for the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport has been spied again, this time with a production-ready body and underpinnings likely borrowed from the latest Triton. Our spy photography agency snapped this SUV undergoing hot weather testing in southern Europe recently. With a live rear axle, running boards and chunky tyres it looks to be the successor to the Pajero Sport that's nearing its 10th birthday, and is based on the previous-generation Triton ute. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Although the Pajero Sport remains in production, Mitsubishi Australia is relying on existing stock as the car can no longer be imported due to new autonomous emergency braking (AEB) regulations it doesn't comply with. An earlier prototype spied in September 2024 had the front end of the current sixth-generation Triton ute, but used the doors and rear body panels of the existing Pajero Sport. This latest development vehicle, though, is wearing a production-ready body that shares nothing in common with the sixth-generation Triton that made its debut in 2023. Mitsubishi is evidently going the extra mile this time around to distinguish the SUV from its ute sibling. Up front the Pajero Sport replacement has a bluff fascia with a tall, wide grille flanked by a ladder of LED driving lights. The main beam unit juts out and connects with the grille. Around the side the new SUV has squared-off wheel arches, a clamshell bonnet, and a blocky silhouette. Interestingly the doors feature sharper window frames and a more upright-looking windscreen than the Triton. At the back the current Pajero Sport's dripping eyeliner tail-lights have given way to more traditional set of tail-lights. The styling here doesn't seem a world away from the next-generation Nissan Patrol. It's unclear what's powering this SUV, but the sixth-generation Triton uses a 2.4-litre four-cylinder twin-turbo diesel mill making 150kW of power and 470Nm of torque. It's paired to a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission, and the choice of rear-wheel drive or full-time four-wheel drive. With the design now more like a classic off-roader than a ute-based family wagon, a rumour is circulating the new model could adopt the Pajero name without the Sport suffix. Whether this turns out to be true remains to be seen, as an earlier rumour indicated Mitsubishi was going to revive the Pajero name for a more luxurious model based on the plug-in hybrid Outlander. If the Pajero does become an Outlander-based model, it will abandon the model's long history as a true off-roader. However, if the Pajero name is used on the car pictured here, it will see the model return to its body-on-frame roots, which it abandoned when the third-generation car debuted in 1999.

Ford Territory Dark Edition: The car for today's family [WATCH]
Standout features on the Ford Territory Dark Edition include black mirrors, a black front grille, with most of the silver trim now black. Ford provided the perfect platform for a fun-filled day with my family, out and about in Johannesburg in the all-new Territory Dark Edition. I have been to many new car launches, and this was the first time a manufacturer gave us the opportunity to bring our loved ones along. The all-new Ford Territory Dark Edition in the four colours it is available in. Picture: Shaun Holland After a wholesome breakfast at our rendezvous point, The Culinary Table in Lanseria, we headed off to our destination: Gold Reef City theme park, a 43km drive to get to know the Dark Edition. What's new on the Ford Territory Dark Edition The vehicle comes in four colour options, but I chose to go for the Ruby Red version because it's The Citizen's colour. They also come in Star White, Panther Black and Lustrous Grey. Some of the standout features include black mirrors, a black front grille and most of the silver trim is replaced with black trim, including the wheels. The feature that stood out the most for me was the new black seats with orange stitching and piping. The interior is where you spend most of your time, so it is important to be comfortable. On our 45-minute journey to the south of Johannesburg, the 1.8 GTDI or EcoBoost provided ample power for my family of four. The car has a host of safety features, such as lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking (AEB), and an all-new 360° camera. Some things that do take some getting used to are the razor-sharp brakes and the AEB system, which can be a bit cumbersome. Family fun with the Ford Territory Dark Edition Once we reached our destination, it was time for family fun. We made our first stop at the Oldees Sweet Factory for some treats to keep the kids smiling until lunchtime. The runaway train at the Gold Reef City Theme Park in Johannesburg. Picture: Shaun Holland We then made our way on the runaway train. This was my daughter's first time on an 'adult' ride because she was finally over the required height. My 13-year-old son was scared to go on most of the more thrilling rides, but my daughter was a real champ. After building up our appetites by exploring the theme park for the morning, we made our way to Oldees diner, where we had the most delicious lunch. My family on the raging rapids at Gold Reef City. Picture: Shaun Holland The diner serves a range of themed meals such as burgers, nachos, grills, and some of the most amazing milkshakes with treats on. Best of all, the décor in Oldees diner is all car-themed, and it even boasts a 'Ford Booth' where you and your family can enjoy your meal. After lunch, we went to the big wheel, where you are treated to some of the most spectacular views of the Johannesburg skyline. Traffic is a breeze in the Ford Territory Dark Edition Then it was a much longer trip back to Lanseria, thanks to Johannesburg's peak hour traffic. But I was not complaining because that gave me more time behind the wheel of the Territory Dark Edition. Ford Territory Dark Edition. Picture: Shaun Holland This is where I learnt that I could turn off the annoying AEB, but more importantly, when I looked back into the rear-view mirror and saw my daughter fast asleep on the back seat, I realised the Territory Dark Edition was the perfect car for today's family.

AEB cuts Russia car sales forecast, hopes for recovery with state support
(Reuters) -Industry group AEB on Thursday said it had lowered its forecast for Russia's 2025 car sales, but said the market was showing early signs of stabilising and that more government support and lower interest rates could support a recovery. Russia's car market collapsed in 2022 as Western carmakers such as Renault and Volkswagen exited the market following the start of Moscow's full-scale war in Ukraine, paving the way for Chinese carmakers to seize more than half the market in the ensuing recovery. The Association of European Businesses (AEB) said it sees Russian car sales falling by 24% compared to 2024 to 1.25 million units. In January, the lobby group had forecasted a 15% drop to 1.4 million units. "Looking ahead, we can expect a market recovery - provided there is government support," the AEB said, mentioning demand support programmes, which provide government money by purchasing some kinds of cars. "We also expect the first modest cut in the key interest rate to contribute to market stabilisation, with further downward adjustments likely to bolster positive momentum," the lobby group said. The Russian central bank cut its key interest rate by one percentage point to 20% in June and may consider a more significant cut at its next rate-setting meeting on July 25.

TiHAN-IITH moots industry consortium for autonomous navigation, offers tech and test infra
Mumbai/New Delhi: As India embarks on a mission to lead in autonomous mobility by 2047, the NMICPS Technology Innovation Hub on Autonomous Navigation (TiHAN) at IIT Hyderabad is leading the charge with a woman engineer at the helm--Dr. P Rajalakshmi, who is the Project Director at the Dept. of Electrical Engineering, IIT Hyderabad. TiHAN-IITH is working to strengthen industry collaboration, while also positioning itself as the country's first dedicated autonomous vehicle testbed . Born in 2022 and funded by the Government of India through the Department of Science Technology, the initiative aims to provide access to advanced infrastructure, data, and collaborative opportunities for validating autonomous technologies in Indian driving conditions. 'We have developed a complete in-house autonomous driving stack. This proprietary system entirely designed, tested, and validated by the institute, includes multi-sensor fusion, perception algorithms, path planning, and control systems, representing a fully integrated end-to-end solution,' Dr Rajalakshmi told ETAuto. This stack, which is TiHAN's intellectual property, has been field-tested through an autonomous campus shuttle, which is equipped with core autonomous features including Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). It can detect obstacles, maintain safe following distances, and respond dynamically to its environment. ETAuto has learned that a proposal has been submitted to TiHAN's advisory board to introduce a negotiable membership model for OEMs, suppliers and industry partners, with an indicative fee of around ₹1 crore for a three-year term. This membership would grant access to the autonomous testbeds, data sets, and research collaborations. Capability and strength The autonomous shuttle currently deployed at IIT Hyderabad has reached Technology Readiness Level 9 (TRL-9), indicating it has been successfully tested, validated, and deployed in a real-world environment. Operating daily on campus, the shuttle carries 45–50 passengers without a driver. This places the technology just one step away from TRL-10, the stage at which solutions are industrialised and ready for mass production. While the current deployment focuses on low-speed autonomous shuttles, TiHAN's technology stack is adaptable to higher-speed vehicles as well. The institute emphasises that sensor fusion, perception, path planning, and control algorithms are all tailored based on vehicle type and intended speed. Dr Rajalakshmi asserted that the team has the technical competence to develop end-to-end autonomous vehicle solutions, adaptable across various use cases and driving conditions. At CES 2025 in Las Vegas, USA, the team showcased its innovations and also signed an MoU with Tier-1 supplier Sona Comstar. Autonomous technology in India Expressing confidence in autonomous technology becoming mainstream in India, Dr. Rajalakshmi emphasised its relevance in areas where road safety is a critical concern. 'Human error remains the leading cause of road accidents. Even achieving Level 2 autonomy, with advanced driver assistance, can make a significant impact on safety,' she noted. However, she sees Level 4 and 5 autonomous technologies (where no driver intervention is required) as more viable for off-road use cases such as agriculture, mining, and port operations, rather than public roadways. She added that fully autonomous vehicles must also be connected and capable of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication. Once this integrated ecosystem matures, India has the potential to emerge as a global leader in next-generation mobility solutions. Future of mobility Beyond ground mobility, TiHAN is actively developing heavy-payload autonomous drones and electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles (eVTOLs) with a focus on real-world use cases such as air ambulances, emergency evacuations, and cargo transport in remote or high-altitude terrains. 'These drones are designed to carry not just individuals, but also substantial cargo loads, making them suitable for sectors like fisheries, disaster response, and military logistics, particularly in areas where traditional road transport faces limitations,' she said. The two working prototypes include a 60 kg payload autonomous drone, capable of transporting a nominal passenger, which has undergone over a year of successful testing at 100–150 meters above ground level. Another is a cargo drone with a 150 kg payload capacity, currently undergoing autonomous trials within the 600-acre IIT Hyderabad campus, covering flight distances of 3 to 3.5 km. With innovation at its core and a clear goal in sight, TiHAN's initiative, guided by a woman, seeks to accelerate India's efforts into the future of autonomous mobility.
