Mitsubishi Pajero – Mitsubishi has announced the return of a favourite 4WD. The Pajero. Once a strong rival for the Toyota Prado, it faded from memory a few years ago.
But now based on the Triton platform, it will be available from December this year.
Interest has been strong with over 3000 potential buyers registering.
It will come in three different versions. The entry GLS with a choice of either five or seven seats. The Exceed and the sporty GSR.
All come with
- 4L Euro 6 turbo diesel engine with 150kW of power and 480Nm of torque.
- This drives all wheels through the respected Super Select 4WD-II system
- Supporting this is Super-All Wheel Control with 7 drive modes with Active Yaw Control
- An updated eight speed Automatic Transmission
- And rear diff locks.
The modern design pays homage to the original Pajero’s while bringing futuristic style elements.
Inside its spacious, comfortable and luxurious. Especially in the Exceed version.
Seating design is inspired by rally experience, offering exceptional support in the bolsters to reduce fatigue and a range of adjustability to tailor the experience.
Powered lumbar support is available across the range. Something my ageing back appreciates.
All models get the full suite if safety features as well.
Pajero offers a 3.5-tonne braked towing capacity, while Trailer Load Assist (TLA) actively enhances stability while towing.
Many regular listeners will know I own a Pajero as my personal car. Its over 23 years old now, has something like 250,000km on it and has been to most outback places in Australia.
Im a big fan of the true 4WD capability. Even though its old it still remains a robust reliable 4WD.
Pricing for the new Pajero starts from around $68,500 through to around $85,000 all plus the usual costs.
