Mitsubishi Pajero- the flagship of the Mitsubishi lineup. A 12-time Dakar Rally champion, he has won this cross-country race for the past six years in a row. To date, the fourth generation of these cars is being produced. The Pajero was first introduced in 1976 at the Tokyo Motor Show as a beach car concept car based on the licensed Mitsubishi Jeep.
Model pajero(pəˈhɛroʊ, pɑˈxɛroʊ, pajero) (English) was named after the pampas cat ( Leopardus pajeros), living on the Patagonia plateau, in southern Argentina. (English) However, since the word pajero(pajero) has the slang meaning "onanist" in Spanish, (English) a different name has been adopted in some foreign markets. So, in Spain, India and the Americas (except Brazil) it was replaced by Mitsubishi Montero(meaning "highlander warrior"), and in the UK on Mitsubishi Shogun("shogun"). In Japan, the word pajero pronounced as "pajero" (jap. パジェロ). The Russian language also has a fixed pronunciation "pajero", from which many different slang nicknames were formed.
1982-1991 First generation (Pajero)
The first generation Mitsubishi Pajero made its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 1981, and in May 1982, a short three-door version with petrol (4G54 - 2.6 l) and diesel (4D55 - 2.3 l) engines was the first to go on sale. In January 1983, only a year after the start of production, the Pajero entered the world of motorsport.
In February 1983, a modification with a long wheelbase and five doors was released with a choice of two various engines: 2.0L turbocharged petrol 4G63T (badged "2.0 Turbo" or "2000 Turbo" in some markets) and 2.3L turbocharged diesel 4D55T (badged "2.3 TD" or "2300 TD" ). The five-door modification was produced with a standard, semi-high and high roof. The nine-seat high roof version is commonly used in UN operations.
In June 1984, Pajero was finalized. Turbocharged diesel engines have become even more powerful, long wheelbase models have received disc brakes on all wheels as standard equipment.
In 1985, at the Paris-Dakar rally, the Mitsubishi team took first place in the Marathon class (almost serial cars), after which they moved to group B (prototypes).
In early 1987, a new flagship Pajero model was introduced: with two-tone paint, fifteen-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats. Also in 1987, the Pajero/Montero version was sold in the US as the "Dodge Raider".

Owner reviews Mitsubishi Pajero I
Mitsubishi Pajero I, 1983
If you treat technology correctly and with love, then the "cart" will become a helicopter. Only after 5 years of operation of the Mitsubishi Pajero I was the overhaul of the “killed” engine, the cook body, the ball bearings, anthers of the front axle shafts and tie rod ends replaced. Also, the spring bushings were replaced with “Nivovsky” trimmed silent blocks, I note that no one has done all this before me, hence the conclusion - in 24 years the car was made capitally only once, and this is “super reliability”. Mitsubishi Pajero I, although the car is outdated, it suits me in everything. This is my "weekend" car, so to speak. I love to ride it for fishing.
Advantages: excellent cross-country ability, enviable maintainability, long service life and the availability of original spare parts, by the way, are quite inexpensive.
disadvantages: if not for our diesel fuel, then we would not have raised the economy of foreign countries through the purchase of spare parts for our cars.

Mitsubishi Pajero I, 1987
About the car: Mitsubishi Pajero I, 1987 onwards, 2.5 TD (turbine removed), 4 automatic transmissions, 350 thousand mileage. Exterior: in general, everything is solid and strict (minimalism, nothing more). Looks like a Mercedes cube (G-class). Aerodynamics "lame", because of the whistle in the front struts. In general, on such a “tank”, as one of my acquaintances put it, it’s not a shame to go to the showdown. For hunting, fishing and active field trips - generally super. A spare tire on the tailgate completes the already serious look. Interior: everything is done with Chelyabinsk severity. Dashboard - "iron". Everything is screwed tightly, it will not creak, even if you really want to. In the center rises a compass, a body roll meter and a battery charge indicator.
The car is very reliable (if everything is changed, lubricated and checked in time), made for uncompromising operation in off-road conditions. Mitsubishi Pajero I is a real jeep, with a forced connection of the front end, an increased and decreased row of transfer cases. Off-road performance is top notch. "Diesel" and clearance allow you not to be afraid of almost any puddles, edges and sand. Somehow I even had a chance to pull the UAZ out of the sand. With the turbine removed, and even with the automatic, the dynamics, frankly, are useless. And the cost is much higher. So I still advise you not to remove the turbine, pour good oil and do not turn off the car immediately after stopping (let the turbine blades cool down - it will live longer). Cruise speed on the highway - 100.
Advantages: tank, cheap to maintain.
disadvantages: not enough comfort and dynamics.

Mitsubishi Pajero I, 1986
Great city jeep. I have a 3 door. The high seating position of the Mitsubishi Pajero I provides good review. Small and economical "diesel" 10-12 l / 100 km in the city, powerful - 103 hp A dynamic jeep that will satisfy many fans of "street racing". The small size (compared to the American giants) allows you to always find a gap in city traffic jams and not waste your time, a jeep - you can drive onto the curb. Mitsubishi Pajero I showed itself well in off-road conditions - the transfer case has four positions and in the most extreme conditions it will block all possible differentials and take you out of the mud to low gear. Automatic transmission - provides comfort and is suitable for novice motorists. Comfortable - spacious interior, four people feel great with long trips, as well as air conditioning, CD-radio, full power accessories, height-adjustable seats. Large tailgate - you can shove the refrigerator.
Advantages: economical SUV. Comfortable and safe.
disadvantages: not found.

Since 1982, all Mitsubishi Pajero have been installed with a displacement of 2.3 liters. and a power of 84 hp. There was also an option for a 2.6-liter gasoline engine with 103 hp. In the same year was added new version 95 hp In addition to the main engine options, 2-liter engines were installed on the SUV, which were capable of delivering power up to 110 hp, and in mode up to 145 hp.
Since 1987, Mitsubishi Pajero with gasoline engines established catalytic converters, and in 1989 there was a 92-horsepower version of the turbodiesel with an intercooler, as well as a 3-liter injection engine V6 with 111 hp From that moment on, the issue of environmental friendliness of Pajero engines ceased to bother buyers from Europe. The only serious problem was the gluttony of the gasoline version, because its consumption was about 20 liters per 100 kilometers in the combined cycle.
In some countries, Pajero began to be sold as or. The first generation did not buy well, because too chopped body shapes and too simple all-wheel drive design contributed to the poor success of the car in the world market.
New Pajero 1991
All failures were blocked by Pajero, which was released in 1991. The body was modernized in it and the quality of the transmission was improved. The second generation of this SUV quickly gained popularity around the world. The most interesting thing is that the front spar frame, independent suspension with all its properties, remained unchanged. The only thing that has changed is the springs have been replaced with coil springs. Despite the fact that the filling has not changed much, thanks to the new appearance the car broke sales records.
Excellent dynamics, excellent cross-country ability, carefully thought-out design and good handling performance made it possible to become one of the most expensive luxury SUVs.
The 1991 Pajero gained its popularity due to its extraordinary appearance, which differed from the canons of the conventional SUVs of that time. Most users note comfort and driving performance Mitsubishi. Others are confident in the success of the advanced transmission.
The model began to install a new transmission Full Drive ( four-wheel drive). Its mode of operation can be changed on the go. Thanks to this, the driver can select the transmission mode that is most suitable for his case and control it using the instrument panel. Under the order the car can be supplied with blocking of interwheel differentials.
Pajero was produced with 3 and 5-door body. The body with five doors had a wheelbase extended by 30 centimeters and was generally called the Wagon (wagon). Its production was launched in 5 and 7-seater versions. The three-door version in production featured a fabric retractable roof and a large sunroof over the front seats.
Since 1994, the company began to equip the car with new engines - a 3.0 V6 petrol and a 1.8 TD diesel.
Pajero restyling 1997
After 3 years, in 1997, the company made a restyling, retaining the basic style. The car has been on sale on the European continent since 1998. Pajero has become more voluminous, because it was modified with swollen barrel wings. Despite this, models with narrow wheels and fenders continued to be produced in the previous modification and this car was called the Mitsubishi Pajero Classic.
Starting in the fall of 1997, a 3.5 V6 GDI engine was installed on the Pajero.
The trunk is carpeted and even with the seat folded down, it is small. This drawback is not in the five-door versions with a size of 4565x1695x1850 mm. Also in the cabin of such a car can easily accommodate up to 5 passengers with a height of 189 centimeters. In addition, there was another version in production: a 7-seater extended model Semi High Roof Wagon measuring 4820 x 1775 x 1850 millimeters.
The instrument panel is rounded, now it is free from corners. All devices are well distinguished, and the interior lighting is made taking into account the wishes of motorists. It is noteworthy that even the pedal assembly is illuminated in the cabin.
Mitsubishi Pajero - cross-country vehicle. It was first introduced in Tokyo in 1981. The first generation in the ten years of its existence has hardly undergone any changes.
The angular design of the body, the straight edges of the body panels, accentuated by a powerful bumper and solid underbody protection, emphasize the exceptional off-road qualities of the car, not affected by time. Along with a three-door all-metal closed body (4015x1680x1870 mm), a version with a soft folding top was also produced, but it was not particularly popular due to its utility. Later, very popular long-base (2695 mm versus 2350 mm) five-door station wagons and a pickup truck (4605x1680x1955 mm) appeared on the market.
Salon by modern standards is quite simple. Steering column with variable angle. Noise isolation of the body is quite effective. The rear view is satisfactory, only thanks to the huge exterior rear-view mirrors. Two independent air conditioners on the five-door version create the desired microclimate.
The trunk of the short-wheelbase Pajero, lined with carpet, is rather small. But if the rear seat is folded and moved forward, then even a two-chamber refrigerator or a large TV can be put into the trunk through the side-opening rear door. There is enough space in the cabin for a comfortable fit for people up to 195 cm tall.
Suspension front torsion bar independent, rear dependent spring.
Since 1982, an 84-power turbodiesel with a working volume of 2.3 liters, as well as a 2.6-liter gasoline power unit with a capacity of 103 hp, have been mounted on all Mitsubishi Pajero. In October of the same year, they were joined by a new 95-horsepower turbodiesel with the best feature torque. In addition to these engines, Pajero was also equipped with 2.0-liter power units for export to Europe, which developed 110 hp in the carburetor version. and in the injector-turbocharged - up to 145 hp.
From January 1987, only gasoline versions were equipped with catalytic converters, and with the launch in September 1989 of a 92-horsepower turbodiesel with an intercooler and 3-liter 111-horsepower injection V6 engines, environmental issues of Pajero engines generally ceased to bother buyers in Europe. However, the gluttony of the gasoline version (up to 20 l / 100 km) remained a serious problem.
In some export markets, the Pajero was sold under the Montero and Shogun names. The first generation was not in great demand. The unpretentious chopped forms and the overly simple design of the Pajero all-wheel drive contributed little to the success of the model on the world market.
For the failure of the progenitor, the next generation recouped, which appeared in January 1991 with a modernized body and a new transmission. The second generation was enthusiastically received all over the world. At the same time, the main design solutions remained the same: a powerful spar frame, front independent suspension on wishbones and longitudinal torsion bars, the rear remained dependent, but received springs instead of archaic springs.
A well-thought-out and successful design, excellent dynamics, good handling and excellent cross-country ability allowed the Mitsubishi Pajero to boldly enter the elite of expensive SUVs.
Many attribute the popularity of Pajero 1991 model year at the expense of an extraordinary appearance that differs from the generally accepted canons of off-road design. Others note the comfort and driving characteristics of the Mitsubishi. Still others are sure that success is in an advanced transmission.
A new all-wheel drive transmission Full Drive began to be installed on the car, the operating modes of which (from the drive only to rear axle from automatic shutdown front axle gearboxes to all-wheel drive mode with center differential lock and downshift) can be changed with a single lever on the go. As a result, the driver can easily select (and control via the instrument panel display) the transmission mode that best suits the specific driving situation.
On request, Pajero can also be equipped with locking cross-axle differentials.
Pajero was produced with a 3-door and 5-door body, the latter had a base increased by 30 cm and was usually designated as Wagon. It was made in 5-seater and 7-seater versions. The three-door version was also produced with a fabric folding roof over the rear seat and a large sunroof over the front.
Since 1994, it has been equipped with new engines - diesel 1.8 TD and gasoline 3.0-V6.
Only in 1997, the company decided to restyle, however, carefully preserving the main stylistic idea. In Europe, such cars have been sold since 1998. Pajero received "inflated" barrel-shaped fenders. Variants with narrow wheels and the same fenders continued to be released under the Pajero Classic name.
Since the fall of 1997, a 3.5 V6 GDI engine has been installed on the Pajero.
The carpeted trunk of the short-wheelbase (3985x1695x1800 mm) Pajero, unfortunately, is still small even with the rear seat folded down. This disadvantage, however, is not inherent in spacious five-door station wagons with an increased roof (4565x1695x1850 mm). The cabin can comfortably accommodate up to five passengers with a height of 189 cm. But there is also a 7-seater extended model Semi High Roof Wagon (4820x1775x1850 mm).
The shape of the instrument panel is rounded, and now there are no corners on it (as on its predecessor). All devices are informative and well distinguishable, plus, well-thought-out lighting of the entire cabin and (even the pedal assembly is illuminated).
The equipment with an altimeter, inclinometer and a thermometer showing the temperature overboard has been preserved. These useful (in the desert and mountains) devices are located on top of the console and are covered with a separate visor. All controls for heating and ventilation are very convenient. The steering column is adjustable. The seats are quite comfortable and the backrests are lumbar adjustable.
All windows are electric, the sunroof is also electric. The heating of the rear part of the cabin is carried out by an autonomous heater, the operation of which can be regulated by the passengers themselves. The steering is quite informative. The clarity of the clutch and shift lever is exemplary. The all-wheel drive system works flawlessly. Mitsubishi Pajero is moving steadily in a straight line. ABS brakes are very effective and, despite the "soft" pedal, very accurate.
Under the hood can be a 150-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 (from April 1995) and a 3.5-liter 24-valve V6 with 208 hp. (since April 1994), which in urban conditions is one of the most economical of its kind. Worthy of praise for its efficiency 125-horsepower 2.8-liter turbodiesel (13.5 l / 100 km in the city). The injection 2.4-liter 111-horsepower engine may seem weak to some, and behind the 3.0-liter 24-valve engine with 177 hp. (since 1997) a reputation for not being very reliable has been entrenched.
Pajero performance impresses with the flexible traction characteristics of turbodiesels and V-shaped injector “sixes”, as well as well-chosen gear ratios transmission.
In the autumn of 1999, the third generation of Pajero cars appeared (sales in Europe began in 2000). Over its previous 18 years of life, the model has gained a good reputation for excellent driving performance on roads with any surface and excellent comfort.
Third Pajero generation significantly different from its predecessors. Frame-bearing bodies have become more rigid, new spring-loaded front (on transverse levers) and rear (on trailing and transverse levers) independent suspensions are used.
Five-door modification Pajero III generation compared to its predecessor, it is 100 mm wider, 70 mm longer and 45 mm lower. This version can comfortably accommodate seven people. The short 3-door version has a wheelbase of 2545 mm and a capacity of 5 people. The salon is equipped with a folding third row of seats.
Pajero III engines respectively have different characteristics, there are even carburetor versions. In recent years, the third generation was equipped with the following injection gasoline engines: 2.4 l (145 hp), 3.0 l (177 hp), 3.5 l (194, 208 and 280 hp .), as well as a 3.5-liter (245 hp) with direct injection of gasoline. Diesel engines 2.5-liter (85 and 99 hp) and 2.8-liter (125 hp) were turbocharged.
This generation is equipped with a powerful 3.2 DI-D turbodiesel with direct fuel injection, a 3.5-V6 GDI gasoline engine, a Super-Select SS4-II all-wheel drive transmission with a planetary center differential, a five-speed adaptive INVECS-II Sports Mode transmission, an independent front and rear spring suspension, as well as a load-bearing body with a high-strength integrated frame.
Pajero has a memorable body design and a rather attractive interior. The car is comfortable and convenient, the driver's seat is designed ergonomically. Often among the instruments there are a compass, an altimeter and body roll indicators.
Level Mitsubishi configuration Pajero III is traditionally high and, in addition to the mandatory four front front and side airbags, includes leather upholstery, an automatic climate system, stereo equipment with a CD changer, etc.
In 2004, the third-generation restyled Mitsubishi Pajero entered the fight for the hearts and wallets of buyers. Technically updated version no different from its predecessor. The changes affected only its appearance and interior.
Thanks to round fog lights and a new bumper shape, the upgraded Pajero turned out to be more taut and aristocratic. The changes also affected the radiator grille: its wide chrome edging and the red corporate emblem were replaced by a thin and neat “edging” with a chrome badge. Wheel disks updated SUV - 6-, not 5-spoke, like its predecessor.
Harmoniously combined with the body and new running boards with lighting, facilitating boarding / disembarking in the dark. The side plates on the doors are no longer ribbed, but smooth, and the turn signal repeaters are snow-white (instead of orange). The "stern" of the car has got new lights and white turn signals built into the bumper. And the bumper itself was left without a wide chrome insert.
Pajero has balanced driving performance, excellent visibility, thanks to the high seating position of the driver and the advanced multi-mode Super Select 4WD-II transmission, which provides high cross-country ability and directional stability. The car is equipped with a 4-channel ABS integrated with electronic system distribution braking forces EBD, which together provides high active safety.
Pajero body, created by Mitsubishi technology RISE will provide reliable protection for the driver and all passengers upon impact. Front and rear programmed deformation zones dissipate impact energy, and a very rigid load-bearing body with a powerful integrated frame and safety bars in the doors form a power safety cage that protects people in the cabin in all situations. The security system is supplemented by 3-point seat belts with pretensioners, front and side airbags for the driver and front passenger.
In 2006, the fourth generation Pajero was presented to the public as part of the Paris Motor Show. Family features have not gone away: a characteristic step on the lower edge of the headlights (the very first Pajero had this), almost vertical roof pillars, a rise in the window line in the rear, the shape of the doorways opening to the right backdoor. The body actually remained the same. Length, width and height have changed slightly - due to new external panels. Only a quarter of the details went to the fourth generation as a legacy, everything else is theirs.
Changes in the load-bearing structure of the body can be counted on one hand: an additional transverse power element under the rear seat, a different bend of the amplifier under the front panel, an increased number of welding points at the junction of the engine shield and side members, a spare wheel mount shifted to the center and down. Yes, even an aluminum hood. New body became more rigid in torsion, as a result, handling improved on asphalt.
The salon has been substantially redesigned. The interior has become more modern and fashionable. New dashboard. A large color display appeared in the center of the new console. At the same time, the relative position of the controls has not changed. Finishing materials have become better. Soft plastic all around. Bagel - multifunctional. The steering column is only tilt adjustable. The first and second row seats are comfortable. The driver's seat in the electric version is equipped with five adjustments, including the stiffness of the lumbar support. Rear visibility has also been noticeably improved: the spare wheel has been lowered by 50 mm. The trunk with the third-row seats folded down is huge.
Basic equipment for the Russian market includes: climate control, CD receiver, alloy wheels, xenon headlights, manual rear air conditioning and cruise control. For the most expensive of the Russian versions (Ultimate), a prestigious Rockford Fosgate audio system, a rear-view camera and a navigation system are provided.
The 3.5 L (202 hp) GDI V6 engine was replaced by a new 3.8 L (250 hp) V6 petrol engine with MIVEC proprietary electronic valve timing and a variable length intake manifold. This engine is only compatible with the adaptive five-speed automatic transmission INVECS-II Sports Mode. Accelerates Pajero to hundreds in 10.8 seconds.
In line power units there is also a diesel option. The 3.2-liter engine has acquired a new generation Common Rail battery injection system and develops 165 hp. Moreover, for Russia, turbodiesels are supplied in a specially adapted version for cold climates and with exhaust that meets Euro 3 standards (for Europe and other countries - Euro 4). For a turbodiesel, it is also mechanical box gears, and a five-speed automatic.
The front and rear suspensions are from the previous generation, but have been tweaked a bit to give the car a smoother ride. Suspension independent spring: front with double wishbones, and rear multi-link.
The electronically controlled all-wheel drive system will help the driver choose the most comfortable driving style. The signature SuperSelect transmission is now called Advanced (advanced) SuperSelect 4WD (SS4-II). It still offers four modes - rear-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, all-wheel drive with a locked center differential in a high row and the same in a low one.
In addition to the reinforced body, the Pajero IV has inflatable "curtains" to protect the head. There are six airbags as standard, with the front airbags being two-stage.
Mitsubishi Pajero is a full-size K2 cross-country vehicle, the flagship of the Mitsubishi Motors lineup. Since the launch of the series into production, Mitsubishi Pajero cars have been produced only in all-wheel drive. The Pajero catalog includes five, seven and nine-seat SUV modifications, cars with 3 and 5-door station wagons, as well as cars with a Canvas Top body (soft rear roof). In general, the complete Mitsubishi Pajero catalog combines 48 modifications of this car.
To date, the market has Mitsubishi models Pajero fourth generation. The average cost of Mitsubishi Pajero at Russian dealers varies from 1,509,000 to 2,189,990 rubles.
Mitsubishi Pajero - car history
The roots of the genealogy of the Mitsubishi Pajero family go back to 1973. Then, at the Tokyo Motor Show, a prototype of the future headliner of the company was presented, built on the basis of an army multi-purpose Mitsubishi car Jeep. According to the initial plan of the designers, the Pajero was to become the so-called "beach SUV" - a light all-terrain vehicle with a soft roof, in the manner of the legendary Jeep CJ. However, market trends interfered with the developers' plans. And three years later, the second concept of the Pajero model was presented in Tokyo, which differed from the previous sample not only in increased dimensions, but also in a more powerful engine. The basic platform of the novelty was also borrowed from the American car corporation Chrysler, with which Mitsubishi Motors had a close partnership. True, now the ancestor of Pajero was not an army Jeep, but a civilian Dodge pickup truck. Overall, this vehicle has been highly acclaimed by leading industry experts. But, nevertheless, it took exactly four more years to fine-tune the Mitsubishi Pajero to the level of the conveyor sample.
SUV Mitsubishi Pajero - first generation
The first generation of Mitsubishi Pajero lasted 10 years on the market - from 1981 to 1991. In October 1981, a serial model of an SUV debuted at the Tokyo Salon. The long-awaited Mitsubishi Pajero appeared before the public in two guises - with a traditional Metal Top body and with a lightweight version of Canvas Top with a removable soft roof. Both Mitsubishi Pajero models were offered in 3-door versions. In May 1982, the Mitsubishi Pajero SUV, priced at the equivalent of $18,379, hit the showrooms of the Japanese retail dealer network Car Plaza. And since January 1983, Pajero enters the world market.
In the export version, the Pajero equipment was seriously different from the "home" version. main feature consisted in the fact that two Pajeros entered the Western market at once - on a standard and on an extended base platform. Moreover, the dimensions of the Mitsubishi Pajero of various modifications varied in length by as much as 655 mm. And the wheelbase indicators are 345 mm, in favor of the 5-door model. Of course, the cost of the Mitsubishi Pajero was also differentiated. On average, for the right to own a "long base" one had to pay $ 3,700 more. It is also noteworthy that the five-door modification of the Mitsubishi Pajero could be ordered in three versions: with a standard, medium-high or high roof.
In the summer of 1984, the Mitsubishi Podgero SUV was upgraded. The changes affected mainly technical equipment car. The updated Mitsubishi Pajero has acquired powerful turbodiesels, received disc brakes and shock absorbers adjustable in stiffness on all four wheels. Moreover, the latter were included in the list of standard equipment for an SUV of any modification.
In 1985, a significant event happened in the history of Mitsubishi Pajero cars. The Mitsubishi team won the famous Paris-Dakar race. At these competitions, the SUV was presented in the T2 category, in which only production cars are collected. The rally was driven by Patrick Zaniroli and navigator by Jean de Silva.
In 1987, the Japanese SUV was given a facelift. The result of the refinishing had a beneficial effect on the sales of the car. The number of sold Pajeros has overcome the psychological barrier of 100,000 copies per year. External changes are expressed in a new bumper, improved grille, 15-inch alloy wheels and the ability to choose a two-tone color. The interior of the Mitsubishi Pajero in a high-level configuration was enriched with a leather interior and a stylish three-spoke steering wheel from Momo, and for more democratic versions, front seats with leather headrests, woolen covers and heating, as well as a head unit (radio + cassette) became available. In the same year, the Pajero SUV enters the US market under the name Dodge Raider.
After restyling, the Mitsubishi Pajero engine range was finally formed. It included:
4G63 - four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with a volume of 2.0 liters and a power of 80 hp. (for the Asian market);
4G54 - turbocharged gasoline 105-horsepower 2.6-liter engine;
6G72 - 3.0-liter V6 gasoline engine with 141 hp;
4D55TTD - 85-horsepower turbodiesel with a displacement of 2.3 liters;
4D56TD is a 95 horsepower turbocharged diesel engine with a volume of 2.5 liters.
The last time the Mitsubishi Pajero lineup of the first generation changed at the end of 1990. Four luxury modifications of the SUV were released in limited series at once:
Mitsubishi Pajero Elite - a seven-seater car with a sunroof, leather interior and walnut wood inserts (dashboard and interior door panels). These cars were painted with a special paint - gray and blue metallic;
Mitsubishi Pajero Togo - three-door "shorty" in the back of the Canvas Top. This series differed from the usual versions by a leather interior with mahogany inserts, 17-inch alloy wheels and wide wheel arches. The cost of Mitsubishi Pajero in this version in the US market reached $35,679;
Mitsubishi Pajero Exe is a five-door and five-seater SUV with a blue leather interior and a central locking system.
Mitsubishi Pajero Osaka - special premium version for Japanese market. Three-door SUV with a metal body, central locking and leather interior.
At the end of 1991, the first generation SUV was removed from the assembly line and replaced by the next generation car. The license for the release of the first model was sold to the Korean corporation Hyundai. Under the name Hyundai Galloper, this SUV was produced until 2003.
SUV Mitsubishi Pajero - description of the second generation
The next generation Mitsubishi Pajero debuted at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 1991. The fundamental differences between this SUV and its predecessor were expressed in the following technical solutions.
The outdated 4WD system has been replaced by a Super Select 4WD transmission. This system allows the driver on the go (at speeds up to 100 km / h) to switch transmission modes to the following positions:
Four-wheel drive with locked center differential;
Conventional four-wheel drive;
Rear drive.
In other words, the driver of a second-generation Mitsubishi Pajero car can independently choose a torque distribution scheme depending on certain road conditions. If you want to mobilize all the offroad capabilities of this machine, you should stop and shift into low gear.
Mitsubishi Pajero of the second generation, equipped with Super Select 4WD transmission, has changed the suspension system. Now a torsion bar system was installed in front, and a spring system on double levers located transversely at the back.
The 3-door Mitsubishi Pajero equipped with a Canvas Top body now has an electric soft top control. If necessary, the driver could easily turn his SUV from a station wagon into a convertible by pressing a single button on the control panel.
In the second generation Mitsubishi Pajero in the Ralliart configuration, it was possible to adjust the stiffness of the shock absorbers and the clearance. These operations can also be performed without leaving the salon.
The budget version of the SUV was offered with the 4G54 (gasoline) and 4D56 (diesel) engines familiar from the first generation, Part-Time transmission and spring rear suspension. Of course, the level of comfort of this version of Pajero and the cost of the car were more modest.
In the period from 1993 to 1996 inclusive, the modernization of the Pajero SUV continued. The range of car engines includes two new engines - a MIVEC 6G74 gasoline engine (3.5 liters, 210 hp) and a 4M40 turbodiesel with an intercooler (2.8 liters, 125 hp). In addition, the 3-liter 6G72 gasoline engine was finalized, inherited from the second generation Pajero from the previous model. By increasing the number of valves, this motor increased power to 155 hp. The ABS system and central locking began to be installed on all base models. And as an option, an electric sliding sunroof (previously not available for 3-door cars) and an immobilizer were offered.
Restyling of the second generation cars was carried out in 1997. Externally, the SUV has got:
New chrome grille;
Xenon headlights head optics;
New front bumper with integrated fog lights;
climate control;
Cast light alloy 17-inch wheels (standard).
The car's all-wheel drive system has been improved with a differential increased friction, and the place of the popular 6G74 DOHC engine in the line of power units was taken by the 6G74SOHC gasoline engine.
As part of the restyling of the generation, in 1998, a sports version of the SUV, the Pajero Evolution, was put on the market. This car was equipped with a 3.5-liter 288-horsepower MIVEC gasoline engine, reinforced suspension and a premium interior. This Mitsubishi modification The Pajero, priced from $37,799, went on sale after the triumphant victory of the Mitsubishi team in the Dakar Rally. Then the crews on these SUVs immediately took three steps of the podium in their glory. In total, Pajero SUVs have won this legendary rally 11 times.
In 1996 and 1998, two events took place that forever changed the course of the development of the Pajero brand. Premiered in October 1996 midsize SUV Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, and in June 1998 began mass production of a compact version of the car - Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin. The diversification of the brand was conceived to move the full-size third-generation Pajero into the premium segment. From this point on, three related models begin to develop in parallel. Compact Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin was produced for 10 years (until 2007) and became famous not only as a civilian model, but also as a car for the army and police. The Pajero and Pajero Sport models are still the flagships of Mitsubishi's automotive division.
In 1999 there is a change of generations. However, production of these machines continued in the Philippines and China (under the name Liebao Leopard). The popularity of the second-generation SUV in Europe forced the company to resume their production in 2002. In the European market, the revived cars were sold as the Mitsubishi Pajero Classic. Today, these cars under the name Pajero SFX are mass-produced for the Asian market at the Hindustan Motors plant (India).
Mitsubishi Pajero third generation
The appearance of the third generation of Pajero caused a mixed reaction both among industry experts and off-road trip lovers. The main differences between the third generation car and its illustrious ancestor are as follows:
Full-size body with an integrated frame made of high-strength materials (torsional rigidity increased by 300%). Cars with a Canvas Top body were not included in the third generation Pajero;
The center of gravity has become lower by 50 mm, and the ground clearance (clearance) has been increased by 30 mm;
The fuel tank is located between the axles;
The suspension scheme has been completely changed - independent spring on all 4 wheels;
Reechnoe steering with hydraulic booster;
Super Select II all-wheel drive system with electronically controlled center differential;
Three transmission options: 5-speed manual, 4-speed automatic and robotic box INVECS II tiptronic;
In the 7-seater versions of the SUV, the third row of seats folds completely into a special niche in the floor;
Camera reversing(parktronic) and navigation device.
In 2003, the generation was restyled. External changes were carried out according to the already traditional scheme - a new grille, edited head optics, a new front bumper with round foglights instead of rectangular ones, a pronounced body kit and retouched feed with other rear lights and a bumper.
The interior of the restyled "troika" is a mixture of European chic and Japanese jewelry assembly. In high trim levels, the Pajero SUV has seriously competed with the premium class legends - and (series 100). According to the results of 2003, Pajero III was ahead of Land cruiser in sales by more than 30%.
The choice of engines for the restyled SUV has increased thanks to two new engines - the top 220-horsepower gasoline ICE 6G74 GDI (3.5 liters) and a 160-horsepower 4M41 turbodiesel (3.2 liters), which Europeans especially liked. Thanks to its muscular forms, the Pajero "troika" received the nickname "Bulldog" in Europe.
The fourth generation of Mitsubishi Pajero SUVs
Mitsubishi Pajero IV was demonstrated for the first time at the annual Paris Motor Show on September 30, 2006. After the premiere, some critics were ironic about the fact that a new generation car is just an old one. kind Pajero III after another deep restyling. Indeed, both cars look somewhat similar to each other, but this is not a copy, but rather a family resemblance.
The silhouette of the Pajero IV resembles the outlines of the second generation model. He became more fit and strict. But at the same time, there is an elegance inherent in premium cars in the car's habitus. The body of the SUV is built using RICE technology. To reduce the weight of the SUV, some parts of the body are made of aluminum. Passenger and driver safety level - 5 stars according to EuroNCAP.
Among the means passive safety belts with pretensioners for all passengers and the driver should be allocated, as well as pillows with a two-stage gas filling function. Active safety provided by Active Stability & Traction Control systems and electronic distribution controller braking force EBD. There was also an emergency braking assistance system Brake Assist and a Brake Override function, which provides priority to the brake pedal.
On the Russian market Mitsubishi Pajero was introduced with three possible options motors:
6G72 - gasoline 3.0-liter engine with 178 horsepower;
6G75 MIVEC - gasoline 3.8 liter 250-horsepower internal combustion engine;
4M41 D-DI - a four-cylinder 200-horsepower turbodiesel with a displacement of 3.2 liters.
In 2012, the fourth generation Mitsubishi Pajero received a facelift.
The Mitsubishi Pajero SUV, whose production started in 1982, became famous for its simple and reliable design: frame, spring rear suspension, rigidly connected front axle, downshift. Initially, the car was offered with a three-door body with a metal or canvas top, but in 1984 a five-door modification appeared with three rows of seats in the cabin.
The car was equipped with four-cylinder gasoline engines with a volume of two liters (including turbocharged) and 2.6 liters, as well as a three-liter V6 engine. Turbodiesels had a volume of 2.3 and 2.5 liters, in addition there was a version with a 2.3-liter naturally aspirated diesel. A four-speed Aisin "automatic" was offered as an option.
In the countries of North and South America (except Brazil), Spain and India, this model was called because of the dissonance of the name Pajero in Spanish, and for the UK market it was renamed Shogun. In 1987–1989, a copy of the SUV was sold in the USA as. And after the cessation of production of the first Pajero in 1991, the production license was sold to the Korean Hyundai, which created its SUV on this basis.
2nd generation, 1991
The second generation of the SUV was, in fact, a deep modernization of the previous model. Nevertheless, Mitsubishi Pajero began to look more modern, slightly increased in size, and in rear suspension springs appeared. The car was still offered in three- and five-door versions, and the three-door could be equipped with a canvas removable top, while the five-door had a high-roof option. The transmission has also changed: now they installed on the Pajero transfer case Super Select 4WD with four drive modes, low gear and lockable rear and symmetrical center differentials. ABS was included in the list of equipment.
Mitsubishi Pajero was equipped with 2.4 (112 hp), 2.6 (103 hp) and V6 3.0 (150, later 180 hp) gasoline engines, as well as a 2.5-liter turbodiesel that developed 100 hp. from. In 1993, a 3.5-liter petrol "six" with a capacity of 194-204 hp appeared under the hood of the car. s., and a year later - also a 2.8-liter turbodiesel (128 hp)
In 1998, a small restyling of the model was carried out, the updated cars could easily be recognized by the “bloated” wheel arches (for expensive versions). At the same time, frontal airbags were included in the standard equipment of some variants. In addition to Japan, Mitsubishi Pajero was assembled in India and the Philippines, and these enterprises continued to produce the second generation of the model even after the appearance of the third Pajero in 2000.
3rd generation, 1999
The third Pajero, which began to be produced in Japan in 1999, received a load-bearing body instead of a frame and independent spring suspension of all wheels. The Super Select 4WD II transmission was upgraded - the central differential became asymmetrical (33:67), and all actuators acquired servos.
Cars with a V6 3.5 GDI petrol engine (202 hp) with direct fuel injection, as well as a 3.2 Di-D turbodiesel with a capacity of 160–165 hp were delivered to Russia. from. In the “base”, the SUV had a manual gearbox and a seven-seater saloon, for a five-speed “automatic” you had to pay extra.
Mitsubishi Pajero for other countries also installed gasoline engines V6 3.0 (180 hp), V6 3.5 GDI (220–245 hp) and V6 3.8 with a capacity of 218 or 250 hp. There was also a 2.5-liter turbodiesel developing 115 hp. from.
I had no illusions going for a test Pajero after the New Year holidays. Well, another SUV, besides an old one - the fourth generation saw the light already in 2007, survived two restylings ... And in general, who will be surprised Pajero - there are so many of them on the roads of Moscow!
I must admit that fate decreed that the last Pajero (which, by the way, was also the first) that I had the opportunity to ride, and as a passenger, happened in my life back in 1995. Since then, somehow it hasn't happened. But again I was wrong in my expectations.
Literally an hour before I sat behind the wheel of the Pajero, I handed over another test car - the VW Caravelle: a large eight-seater "bead" with a huge glass area and a high seating position. But even after the "bus", plunging into the Pajero, I caught only one word in my head - "aquarium". Tall ceiling, huge windows, visually thin door cards, a lot of air in the cabin… Even the Caravel did not give such a feeling of spaciousness!
Forward to the past!
The interior also caused a storm of emotions. Pajero is a time machine! Torpedoes, door cards, buttons, instruments, square knobs of gearshift levers and transfer cases - all this seemed to “came” straight to me from the last decade of the last century, when the cars were real, iron and were made forever, and not like now, when. Simple lines, no fashionable design frills, everything is square, severe and simple. Maybe such an archaism will seem to someone unworthy of a car of the second decade of the 21st century, but for me, a person who grew up just on the design of the 90s, it warms the soul and inspires hope that everything inside this car is just as reliable and “for centuries” as was customary in those days.

Is that the Mitsubishi Connect touch multimedia panel looks completely foreign here. A color touchscreen without a single physical button looks wild against the background of harsh buttons and knobs. This asks for a two-din radio tape recorder with a cassette deck, or a CD player, at worst. By the way, about the “condo” buttons: I once complained that the “oak” buttons for seat heating in a modern cabin look very old-school. The same buttons (what can you do - unification) in the interior of the Pajero look like family. Rather, they are native to this salon.
The leather of the seats is oak sackcloth. Feels like officer's boots. This is in the tradition of Mitsubishi - a similar dressing can be found on all cars of the brand. And if in Outlander it looks deliberately rude, here it is very organic. Before us is a real harsh SUV. It’s not scary to plop into such skin with your back soiled with clay - nothing will happen to it! In a word, the Pajero salon is a direct greeting from the nineties. Some may not like it, but the number of cars on the roads suggests that conservatism is held in high esteem.

Personally, thanks to this simplicity and “old times”, I felt very comfortable driving Pajero, like at home in my childhood - safely and securely. There are no unnecessary embellishments, no millions of luminous buttons and functions that look beautiful and are expensive, but which you will use once in a lifetime, and even then out of curiosity.
Even the climate control here is single-zone - no pampering and tenderness (here even I was surprised - in the top-end configuration of the car, two "climate" zones could have been made for two and a half million, but apparently this would not have been brutal enough). But there is a separate rear heater.
The fact that Pajero is a thoroughbred SUV is also indicated by the number of options for transforming the interior. You will not find this on modern "plastics". rear seats can change the inclination of the backs, the backs themselves fold in a ratio of 40:60, the entire seats can also be folded towards the front row, forming just a huge trunk. And if you pull the headrests out of the front seats and move them forward, then you can make an almost flat surface out of all the seats. And it's easy to put two basketball players two meters tall to sleep. At the same time, you don’t even need to unload the trunk - even now on an expedition to the North! You don't see that very often these days.

Warm tube V6
The technical stuffing of the wonderful Pajero car does not deviate from the old-school ideology. Our test car had a 3.0-litre warm-tube petrol V6. The formula is quite standard for Pajero - the ancestor of this motor was installed on the first generation of an SUV. The motor has one camshaft per head (!), distributed fuel injection and develops 174 hp. from. at 5,250 rpm. Not the most outstanding figures, but an SUV weighing under two and a half tons is much more important than traction, but here it is in abundance: 261 Nm at 4,000 rpm. Another attribute of simplicity is that the motor consumes 92nd gasoline.
In practice, from the first seconds of engine operation, you understand that under the hood there is not some kind of modern turbo whistle, but a real “cast iron”, with a resource of many hundreds of thousands of kilometers. By the way, despite the external similarity in layout and volume, the Pajero motor has nothing to do with the engine that is installed on the Outlander. It is also interesting that, losing in all respects, subjectively, the Pajero engine drags better than the more powerful and high-torque Outlander unit. Although it's probably just the magic of the machine. Big and iron.
Mitsubishi Pajero IV
Claimed fuel consumption per 100 km
A large engine uses gasoline very carefully, especially considering the mass of an SUV. For a week of testing in the "City and Highway for the Weekend" mode, the computer showed 13.7 l / 100 km of 92nd gasoline. In my opinion, quite a decent indicator. The same Outlander with a three-liter engine and one and a half times less weight consumes about the same amount. Again, subjectively, but it is a comfortable or uncomfortable feeling of consumption that is given not so much by the consumption figure itself, as by compliance with its expectations. And if a “bucket with a little” for a hundred in the Outlander causes resentment, then the same figure on the Pajero fits well into the comfort waiting zone.
Legendary Super Select
Pajero was once considered a very progressive car. Independent suspensions and a frame integrated into the body looked innovative against the background of frame Kruzaks and other Defenders with springs and axles. However, the Kruzaks, although they went ahead, and only the Pajero seemed to be frozen in its best years - those already distant ones.

Real SUVs are dying off like a class. Demand for such machines in a global sense is falling. More and more people are wondering - why all these locks and lowers, if in everyday life there is enough of a front end connected by an automatic clutch? There are almost no real enthusiasts of "part-time". But the legendary Super Select Pajero transmission is another reason to go to the salon right now.
Perhaps, for complete "off-road" happiness, there is not only a front differential lock. The rest: interaxle blocking, rear interwheel blocking (with automatic shutdown of all electronic "collars"), lowering row - it's all there. Perhaps, in terms of arsenal, only the Land Cruiser can be compared with it now. But the price...
Mitsubishi Pajero IV
Brief specifications
Engine: V6, 3.0 l., 174 hp Transmission: Automatic, 5 steps Dimensions, mm (L / W / H): 4 900 / 1 875 / 1 870 Ground clearance, mm: 235 Curb weight, kg: 2100
The top Pajero will cost about the cost of the base one. There is no need to talk about the “big” Land Cruiser, and even more so the “Gelika”! In a word, in fact, in its price segment, he remained almost alone. Somewhere a little lower, on an “honest” all-wheel drive, with locks and lowers, they are poking around in the ruts of the market and, but this is a completely different off-road team. Even the once formidable Pathfinder rounded out, got a CVT and hit the asphalt and, forgive him Patrol, . In a word, our Pajero was left all alone.
Instead of saying goodbye
In general, in its habits Pajero is similar to a large ATV. No, not by the level of comfort, but by the feeling of transparency, understandability of the car to drive and the ease with which you find a common language with the car. Some of its honesty and simplicity.
Since 1982, all Mitsubishi Pajero have been installed with a displacement of 2.3 liters. and a power of 84 hp. There was also an option for a 2.6-liter gasoline engine with 103 hp. In the same year, a new 95 hp variant was added. In addition to the main engine options, 2-liter engines were installed on the SUV, which were capable of delivering power up to 110 hp, and in mode up to 145 hp.
Starting in 1987, catalytic converters were installed on Mitsubishi Pajero with gasoline engines, and in 1989 a 92-horsepower turbodiesel version with an intercooler appeared, as well as a 3-liter V6 injection engine with 111 hp. From that moment on, the issue of environmental friendliness of Pajero engines ceased to bother buyers from Europe. The only serious problem was the gluttony of the gasoline version, because its consumption was about 20 liters per 100 kilometers in the combined cycle.
In some countries, Pajero began to be sold as or. The first generation did not buy well, because too chopped body shapes and too simple all-wheel drive design contributed to the poor success of the car in the world market.
New Pajero 1991
All failures were blocked by Pajero, which was released in 1991. The body was modernized in it and the quality of the transmission was improved. The second generation of this SUV quickly gained popularity around the world. The most interesting thing is that the front spar frame, independent suspension with all its properties, remained unchanged. The only thing that has changed is the springs have been replaced with coil springs. Despite the fact that the filling remained practically unchanged, thanks to the new appearance, the car broke sales records.
Excellent dynamics, excellent cross-country ability, carefully thought-out design and good handling performance made it possible to become one of the most expensive luxury SUVs.
The 1991 Pajero gained its popularity due to its extraordinary appearance, which differed from the canons of the conventional SUVs of that time. Most users note the comfort and driving characteristics of Mitsubishi. Others are confident in the success of the advanced transmission.
A new Full Drive transmission (all-wheel drive) began to be installed in the model. Its mode of operation can be changed on the go. Thanks to this, the driver can select the transmission mode that is most suitable for his case and control it using the instrument panel. Under the order the car can be supplied with blocking of interwheel differentials.
Pajero was produced with 3 and 5-door body. The body with five doors had a wheelbase extended by 30 centimeters and was generally called the Wagon (wagon). Its production was launched in 5 and 7-seater versions. The three-door version in production featured a fabric retractable roof and a large sunroof over the front seats.
Since 1994, the company began to equip the car with new engines - a 3.0 V6 petrol and a 1.8 TD diesel.
Pajero restyling 1997
After 3 years, in 1997, the company made a restyling, retaining the basic style. The car has been on sale on the European continent since 1998. Pajero has become more voluminous, because it was modified with swollen barrel wings. Despite this, models with narrow wheels and fenders continued to be produced in the previous modification and this car was called the Mitsubishi Pajero Classic.
Starting in the fall of 1997, a 3.5 V6 GDI engine was installed on the Pajero.
The trunk is carpeted and even with the seat folded down, it is small. This drawback is not in the five-door versions with a size of 4565x1695x1850 mm. Also in the cabin of such a car can easily accommodate up to 5 passengers with a height of 189 centimeters. In addition, there was another version in production: a 7-seater extended model Semi High Roof Wagon measuring 4820 x 1775 x 1850 millimeters.
The instrument panel is rounded, now it is free from corners. All devices are well distinguished, and the interior lighting is made taking into account the wishes of motorists. It is noteworthy that even the pedal assembly is illuminated in the cabin.
The first Pajero has not yet become that chic, gangster-like car that it was, but it was the first model that showed the entire world community: how reliable, unkillable and passable an SUV from Mitsubishi can be. So already in 1985, just 3 years after the launch of the off-road Mitsubishi in the series, Pajero among the Marathon class cars came second to the finish line of Dakar. It was a class of practically production cars, imagine how reliable a car must be in order not only to pass all the incredibly difficult tests of the Dakar, but also to do it better than most other cars. After this resounding success, the Mitsubishi team moved into the most prestigious Prototype class, in which SUVs won the Dakar 12 times.
Today, brand new Pajero can be seen on the avenues of large cities, at restaurants and expensive shops. 
Since the second generation, despite its excellent off-road capabilities, Pajero has moved into the category of luxury, and maybe even fashion cars, the task of which is not only to provide the highest level of comfort for the driver and passengers, but also to radiate some overwhelming aura on neighbors traffic flow. In general, in the eyes of most drivers, the new Mitsubishi Pajero is really cool.
Not everyone has money for an expensive new SUV, yes 
and some wealthy people prefer not to put their wealth on display, but at the same time some of them would like to get a relatively inexpensive, but excellent off-road car. Of course, you can buy a Niva, or UAZ, but for $5,000 you can become the owner of a well-groomed Mitsubishi Pajero 1. This time, the Internet portal will discuss the Pajero model of 1982-1991, pay attention to its technical characteristics and features.
Initially, Pajero 1982 was produced in a short-base, three-door body, which again confirms the off-road orientation of this car. Even the name of this car was borrowed from the predatory South American cat - Leopardous Pajeros, and not from some domestic cat that basks on the master's sofa. The release of the five-door was launched in 1985, while the long Pajeros were produced with three roof options: regular, semi-high and high. The three-door was also available with a removable soft top, such modifications were called Canvas Top. The five-door with a body length of 4,650 mm had wheelbase at 2695mm, it is noteworthy that with a body width of 1680mm, the height is 1850mm. First Mitsubishi SUVs shod in tires of the 15th dimension, 215th width. Of course, the body of this Japanese all-terrain vehicle is frame, before the wholesale transition of off-road vehicles to load-bearing bodies, there was still a lot of time. Spare wheel attached to the rear door - this gives the all-terrain vehicle a certain spirit of adventure. 
From 1987, the front seats were heated, and the Elite version, which appeared in 1990, can be recognized by the sunroof and walnut wood inserts. The handle located in front of the front passenger, as well as the device that determines the roll of the car, indicates that you are sitting in a real SUV. Five-door Pajeros could be nine-seat - such cars were often used by representatives of UN missions.
Specifications Mitsubishi Pajero1, 1982 - 1991
Four-cylinder gasoline unit 4G54 with a volume of 2.6 liters develops only 103 hp, the two-liter “turbo four” 4G63T with 145 hp is more powerful, but the most expensive and prestigious Mitsubishi Pajero was equipped with an atmospheric V6 6G72 with a volume of 3.0 liters, a power of 141 hp and a thrust of 225N .M.
The least powerful 4D55 diesel engine is not equipped with a supercharger and, with a volume of 2.3 liters, develops not too impressive 75 hp. Turbocharged modifications of this unit develop: 84 and 94hp of power, thrust of 174N.M - (this is exactly the torque of the first engine), enough for a leisurely drive around the city, but of course 235N.M of a 94-horsepower engine push the car forward more interestingly .
It is noteworthy that it was Pajero who became the first production SUV on the front wheels of which ventilated disc brakes were installed. The front suspension of the Japanese jeep is torsion bar, independent; behind dependent - spring. Pajero is equipped with either a five-speed mechanics or a four-speed automatic. Of course, at that time it would not be realistic to correspond to the status of a full-fledged SUV without a lower range of gears and blocking, and the Pajero has it all.
Price Mitsubishi Pajero 1, 1982 - 1988
You can buy Mitsubishi Pajero 1 today for $3,000. This is the price of the car in not better condition. The price of the already made Mitsubishi Pajero 1 is unlikely to drop below $4,500; to buy a decent copy, it is advisable to have an amount of $5,000, or even $5,500.
By the standards of even old SUVs, the price of Pajero 1 is not high, to buy such an all-terrain vehicle you won’t have to get into loans and debts, such an amount can be collected anyway. Although the old Pajero does not have steepness and prestige, it is capable of a lot off-road, especially when it comes to a three-door modification.
