68+ Mitsubishi Cars for Sale in South Africa

Mitsubishi’s place in South Africa isn’t built on sheer numbers, and frankly, that’s the point. You don’t see them chasing Toyota’s ubiquity or following Nissan’s scattergun approach. Instead, it’s a brand for those who know what they want—often a Pajero for those Sani Pass weekends or an ASX if you’re after honest, practical motoring without paying for a VW badge. With 58 cars listed—prices from R99,500 up to a hefty R809,900 and a median of R329,900—there’s a clear message: nearly everything is pre-owned, with just a single new model up for grabs. That used-heavy split actually works in Mitsubishi’s favour, because their buyers are the sort to hunt for value and wait out the right deal. It’s what the Pajero should have been from the start: tough, pragmatic, and just off the mainstream radar.

The numbers don’t lie. ASX dominates the listings with 12 examples between R145,900 and R339,950, making it the sensible entry for most. Outlander Sport sits in the middle—decent kit, mid-R300s to low-R400s—while the Pajero Sport SUV tops out near R700,000. That’s real money, but you’re getting genuine off-road hardware, not just the idea of it. The new Triton double cab lands at a fixed R809,900, which throws it right into the teeth of the Hilux and Ranger bakkie war. Petrol variants lead, but diesel is there if you need it, especially in the bigger SUVs and bakkies. Here’s the twist: at similar prices, Suzuki and Renault just can’t match Mitsubishi’s off-road heritage. The Pajero badge still means something to South Africans who actually use the low range, and that matters.
