Mitsubishi Pajero I Owners Reviews

Mitsubishi Pajero I, 1983

If correctly and with love refer to the technique, then the "cart" will become a helicopter. Only after 5 years of operation, Mitsubishi Pajero I was produced by overhaul of the "killed" engine, cooking body, replaced ball supports, front axle anthers and steering tips. Also, the springs are also replaced by "Nivovsky" cropped silent blocks, I note that no one did all this before me, hence the conclusion - for 24 years the car was completely only once, and this is "supernaviation". Mitsubishi Pajero I Although the car is outdated, but it suits me everything. This is my weekend car, so to speak. I love to ride it for fishing.

Dignity : excellent permeability, enviable maintainability, a large resource and the presence of original spare parts, by the way, quite inexpensive.

disadvantages : If it were not for our diesel fuel, then they did not raise the economy of foreign states by purchasing spare parts for our cars.

Mitsubishi Pajero I, 1987

About the car: Mitsubishi Pajero І, 1987 G.V., 2.5 TD (Removal turbine), 4 AKP, 350 thousand mileage. Exterior: In general, everything is solid and strictly (minimalism, nothing superfluous). Looks like Mercedes Cube (G-Class). The aerodynamics "lame", which is a whistle in the front racks. In general, on such a "tank", as one of my friend, I was not ashamed and for disassembly to go. For hunting, fishing and active trips to nature - generally super. The reserve on the back door complements the already serious appearance. Interior: Everything is done with Chelyabinsk severity. The instrument panel is "iron". Everything is fastened to tightly, it will not creak, even if you want to scribble. A compass towers in the center, the body rolls meter and the battery charging sensor.

The car is very reliable (if everything is changed in time, smear and check), is made for uncompromising exploitation in off-road conditions. Mitsubishi Pajero I is a real jeep, with a compulsory connection of the front, elevated and lowered distortes. Off-road qualities - at the height. "Diesel" and clearance make it possible not to be afraid of almost any puddle, rods and sand. Somehow I even happened to the UAZ from the sand pull. With the removed turbine, and even with the automatic dynamics, right to say, Nikudushny. And consumption is significantly more. So I advise you still not to remove the turbine, pouring good oil and not jamming the car immediately after the stop (giving the turbine to the blades cool - will live longer). Cruising speed on the track - 100.

Dignity : Tank, cheap in service.

disadvantages : Low comfort and dynamics.

Mitsubishi Pajero I, 1986

Excellent urban jeep. I have a "3-door". High landing Mitsubishi Pajero I provides a good review. A small and economical "diesel" 10-12 l / 100km in the city, powerful - 103 hp A dynamic jeep will satisfy many lovers of "street racing". Not a big size (in comparison with the American giants) allows you to always find the gap in urban traffic jams and not to spend your time, jeep - you can call on the border. Mitsubishi Pajero I showed himself in off-road conditions - the razdatka has four positions and in the most extreme conditions will block all possible differentials and takes you out of the dirt on a reduced transmission. The automatic box - provides comfort and suitable for novice motorists. Comfortable - a spacious salon, four people feel great at long journeys, as well as air conditioning, CD-radio, full electric car adjustable in the height of the seat. Big trunk door - you can shove the refrigerator.

Dignity : Economical SUV. Comfortable and safe.

disadvantages : not found.

A worthy, unprecedented solid appearance of the car attracts attention, both in the conditions of a large megalpolis and country tracks. The unique design of the radiator grille, confident front bumper lines, expressive head optics, exquisite 18-inch discs (supplied in the Ultimate version) define the original exterior. Front protection and stylish black rails on the roof not only demonstrate high practicality and functionality, but also are bright design elements.

Interior

In the design of the salon, Pajero 4, only high-quality finishing materials are used, which causes a high level of its respectability and comfort. The maximum concentration of the driver's focus on driving is achieved through the ergonomic interior organization. The presence of a magnificent view, anatomical seats, adjustment of the steering column in height, convenient accommodation on the steering wheel of the control button of the media system, retractable boxes, the informative dashboard guarantees improving driving safety and allows the driver in any situation to feel confident.

Salon's interior and the perfection of the organization of storage systems in these cars makes them especially convenient for both long trips and for transporting long cargo. When adding chairs, the interior machine can be used as a comfortable zone for sleep.

Integrated frame

The developers of Mitsubishi Pajero managed to completely refute the stereotype associated with the competitive struggle of the running characteristics and passability. The particularly strong structure of the body, equipped with an integrated spatial frame, sets the unprecedented rigidity parameters and determines impeccable performance.

The manufacturer equipped the car with an independent innovation suspension, providing exceptional permeability at the level of comfort for passengers, which is comparable to the comfort provided by the sedans of the premium class. Special reliability and durability of the design give the steel panels resistant to corrosion exposure. Minimize the mass of the vehicle allowed the use of aluminum alloy

Engine

In order to conquer the most complex and hard-to-find trails, Pajero 4 developers have created a line of efficient engines to obtain optimal power indicators.

All-wheel drive transmission SUPER SELECT 4WD

The legendary cars of Mitsubishi Pajero manufacturer equips the SUPER SELECT 4WD unique transmission. It allows you to switch to all-wheel drive mode during the movement process on a slippery coating at a speed reaching 100 km / h. Blocking the inter-axis differential is carried out when driving down off-road, sand, viscous clay in order to build thrust and uniform power distribution to each of the axes. The maximum possibilities for passability, overcoming highly polluted areas and steep slopes are provided by using a double increment of the torque on each of the gears.

Blocking the rear inter-track differential is carried out in a forced procedure by using the "RD LOCK" button located on the front panel. In the event of a rear differential lock, automatically disabling ABS and ASTC systems.

Rear wheel 2H.

This mode is especially ideal when moving within the city or on the high-speed track. In this mode, power is transmitted only on the rear axle, providing a quick and quiet course and low fuel consumption.

Four-wheel drive 4h

In this mode, the power distribution is carried out per each of the axes, which is characterized by the absence of symmetry (the ratio of 33/67 to 50/50 is achieved). Such a technical solution is the key to the perfect clutch with the track, exceptional comfort and safety in the driving process. The use of a full drive 4H is a competent solution for towing trailers and driving in adverse weather and climatic conditions. The manufacturer does not establish for this restriction mode neither by speed nor the type of coating.

Full Drive Mode with 4HLC Inter-Source Differential Blocking

This mode provides excellent control by uniform power distribution per each of the wheels. It is optimally suitable for driving conditions and is not recommended for trails demonstrating excellent clutch performance.

All-wheel drive mode with reduction transmission and blocking of the inter-axis and inter-track differentials of 4LLC

This mode, provided in Mitsubishi Pajero, allows you to overcome the most complex obstacles by implementing the transfer of the maximum torque on extremely small turns. The mode is not recommended for the trails with good clutch indicators.

Since 1982, the Japanese SUV PAJERO combines the characteristics of this all-terrain vehicle and a calm city crossover. It is considered a legend of his class. Exchange functionality and pleasant appearance have always attracted the sights of motorists to this masterpiece of the automotive industry. The history of the SUV constantly developed, so the technical characteristics of Mitsubishi Pajero will be extremely interesting to consideration.

"Pajero" translated means a wild cat with a persistent character and tremendous endurance that lives on the expanses of Patagonia, which is in the southern part of Argentina.However, it is not everywhere this name is used. In the Spaniard countries, the SUV referred to "Montero", in the UK - "Shogan", in the United States - Dodge Raider.

For the first time, Pajero fell into the camera lens in 1973, when it was presented at the exhibition in Tokyo. It was just a concept car having a lot of similarities with Jeep.

Almost 8 years of waiting and testing of two prototypes, convinced Mitsubishi's company to release a full analogue of the SUV. The first generation was presented in 1981, and a substantially refined version has become publicly available for the next year. Therefore, in many sources, the official start of the release of the cult series was marked 1982.

At first, SUVs were produced only with a three-door body, a shortened wheelbase and with two embodiments of the roof (cast metal and folding).

Motor ruler included:

• four-cylinder gasoline engines for 2- and 2.6 liters;
• diesel 2,3-liter unit;
• turbodizel 2,3-liter engine.

These engines have become the basis for PAJERO, and 6G72 was so reliable that it is used to date on modifications intended for the markets of Japan and a number of the countries of the Middle East.

January 1983 is marked by the debut of Pajero in Rally "Paris-Dakar". Initially, the SUV could not fight for the leading places, but after a number of modernization, the first trophy was taken (1985 g). Pajero became so good that she went to conquer the European and US market.

In particular, the following cardinal changes were carried out:

• there is a new version with five doors and a substantially elongated wheelbase - in 1983;
• engines were seriously refined - 1984;
• the wheels of the SUV equipped with disk brakes instead of drum.

In 1987, the body covered with better paint, the front seats were heating, and alloy wheels increased to 15 inches.

Signal events:

• 1983 - released a 9-seater version with a high roof and armored parts of the body (a favorite UN car);
• 1988 - the 4D56T turbodiel unit is released by 2.5 liters;
• 1990 - created a legendary gasoline unit 6G72, 3.0 liters;

In combination with innovative structural solutions (powerful motors, the independence of the front suspension, electric drives) Pajero 1 became a sales hit. He was also warmly accepted on the foreign market.

Second generation 1991-1999

In 1991, Pajero II came out. The emergence of a strong competitor stirred the SUV market. It turned out to be a fundamentally new program of transmission - Super Select 4WD. This system, which controls the allocation of effort between the wheels, opened new horizons.

The concept of an SUV largest was laid in exactly the first generation. Then the car simply improved and adapted to the trends of the wagon. At the peak of the glory of the first generation, he was replaced by the second, which was an excellent marketing move.

The body has increased significantly in size. In addition, Pajero 2 received four different variations of execution:

• hard roof;
• foldable roof;
• divided into sections;
• cast.

Pajero II equipped the third nearby seats adjustable by shock absorbers (and adjustment was made directly from the pilot cabin), the winch under the bumper and the hydraulic lift system for changing the clearance.

After 1991, the stormy development of the SUV was accounted for:

• upgraded engines;
• aBS implemented;
• the selection of the rear axle is provided: LCD or with forced blocking;
• modified the second number of chairs.

Also appeared: the central locking system of the doors, immobilizer, electrolyuz.

The motor base was replenished with a 3-liter 12-valve motor with electronic fuel distribution and a 2.5-liter turbodiesel. And in 1993 there were a 3.5-liter atmospheric and a 2.8-liter turbodiesel - both with electronic control.

Restyling second generation fell in 1997. Suddenly in 1999, the issue of Pajero II was discontinued.

The right to produce this model was the Chinese concern Changfeng Motor. Now the road off-road veteran is known as Liebao Leopard, which means "wild cat".

Third generation 1999-2006

In 1999, the III generation comes out. Recycled almost every detail of the SUV. New engines were created:

• gasoline 6G74 GDI with a volume of 3.5 l;
• gasoline 6G75 with a volume of 3.8 l;
• diesel engine 4M41 with a volume of 3.2 liters.

Although the motor base was touched insignificant, the electronic equipment was subjected to innovative shake.

PAJERO III bridges were removed. The frame was integrated into the body, the wheels were equipped with separate drives, and the suspension was made independent. In comparison with previous models, the SUV became much more comfortable and more convenient, and the permeability was improved by refining the SUPER SELECT II transmission.

The appearance of the third generation of Pajero was marked by an essential reflashing of early models:

• improved handling due to the bias of the center of gravity on the rear axle;
• increased aerodynamics due to the creation of a new body shape;
• the suspension is enhanced due to the delivered frame.

The full drive system has received a new distribution of torque over the axes in the 33/67 ratio (the advantage at the rear axle). If necessary, the electronics could make the distribution equal to between the axes.

Fourth generation

The last generation was submitted in 2006 at the moment. Significant upgrades, affecting it:

• improving security;
• new design and interior of the cabin;
• maximum electronization of car systems;
• improving suspension.

The engine base of new SUVs is represented by the following models:

• 3.2-liters - diesel, 167 liters. from;
• 3.8-liter gasoline motor, 247 liters. from;
• 3-liter V-6 from the past generation (mainly for the domestic market).

In general, the fourth generation became a logical continuation of the third. His allocation to a new branch of development occurred as a result of the use of more innovative technologies in the creation of an SUV.

Will the release of the new Pajero expect?

Many fans of the series are interested in the question: will the PAJERO of the fifth generation be published. With a large share of the likelihood of Mitsubishi will still release it. The concept of the concept cartoon was already, and to expect new restyings of 4 generations will not be very reasonable. Open about the exit of Pajero 5 The concern did not declare, but many factors show that in the coming years it will happen.

According to various sources, it was possible to find out that Mitsubishi Pajero fifth generation would have:

• hybrid and more powerful motors;
• increased level of comfort when driving and operation as a whole;
• the modified system of the full drive;
• the maximum possible electronization of all SUV nodes;
• improved patency characteristics;
• more economical and environmentally friendly fuel combustion system.

Prices for SUVs today

In conclusion, it will not be superfluous to consider the price range of Mitsubishi Pajero on the Russian market. Naturally, like any other car, this SUV can be purchased as new and supported.

Depending on the state and generation, the cost of Pajero varies. On average, the price of an SUV in 2019 is as follows:

• the first generation is from 200-250 thousand rubles;
• the second generation is from 250-300 thousand rubles and from 400-500 thousand rubles for restyled models after the 1997 release;
• the third generation - from 500-700 thousand rubles;
• fourth generation - from 900 thousand rubles.

This jeep is an amazing sample of survivability. He does not say, it needs. Against the background of what basic competitors are gradually degenerated today, such as Land Rover, Toyota Highland or Nissan Patfordder, Pajero proudly wears the names "brutal", "Malenovsky", "Truly Male". The only thing is that Pajero won 12 times in prestigious Dakar off-road races, says himself. He began his career athlete immediately after leaving (in 1985). Most of the rally technologies were transferred to civil models.

5 / 5 ( 1 voice)

Mitsubishi Pajero is a Ralone SUV from the company to Mitsubishi's famous world. A full-size car is the leader of the model range of the manufacturer. The name was given in honor of the cat living in the southern part of Argentina.

In fact, Mitsubishi Pajero, is a legendary car. The 4th generation received another update, which is the second restyling of the world-famous car off-road type. All.

History of car

This legend began its history in the fall of 1973. In that year, the off-road version was first shown in the Tokyo Auto Salon. The car received an abundance of similar elements with the Jeep concept, especially in the cabin. An experienced version of 2 families came out strictly after 5 years, in 1978.

The Japanese leadership decided not to be content with the borders of SUV, which imposed a kind of template for current versions, and create a full-fledged SUV. When 1983 came, Pajero began to participate in the Parish-Dakar rally. By 1985, the 2-unsuccessful samples subsequently got the car in the end, 1 position in the championship.

To date, the Japanese SUV is considered the most fortunate machine in Rally Dakar. In addition, the tendency to create compact SUVs appeared later. Therefore, Japanese specialists did not bypass this niche and created Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin.

First generation (1982-1990)

After a short time after the concept model is displayed, the opening of the serial version that has fallen on the same car salon Tokyo in 1981 passed. The vehicle has begun since 1982. Initially, the car was released only in a 3-door body versions with a trimmed base of wheels and 2 roof options - covered, made of metal and folding.

Mitsubishi Pajero 1 possessed a 2.0-liter power unit with 4 cylinder cylinders, operating on gasoline, 2.6-l motor motor with a similar number of cylinders, 2.3-l diesel variant and 2.3-L "engine", which also operates on diesel fuel and received turbocharging.

It is worth noting that for those times, the car had a fairly rich arsenal of power units than they could boast not so many automotive companies.

The car was able to produce a real furor at the car market. It is worth clarifying one important thought - Pajero 1, represents the earliest off-road car in reality, where the all-wheel drive system has established. Thanks to the entire list of available equipment, it was possible to design the appearance of the off-road all-wheel drive model of Pajero.

Such a car successfully combined the comfort of the "car". A year after the start of the production of the debut family in Japan, the SUV was able to enter the world market. But the public due to the insufficient spaciousness of the car (as well as two-door execution) did not possess a rich choice. Therefore, even if there was a readiness to purchase this car, a simple family could not do this, even from practical considerations.

Based on this, Mitsubishi in 1983 decided to build a 5-door modification with an enlarged wheel base, in order to satisfy the needs of buyers around the world. The novelty was equipped with 2 motors. It was a 2.0-liter "engine" with a turbine operating on gasoline and reinforced 2.3-l turbocharged option worked on diesel fuel.

The car was offered in 3 different body versions: Standard, Semi-High Roof and High Roof. Special for the UN, the company has released a unique 9-seater option. He stood out by the presence of a compacted armored vertex.

Interior decoration of Mitsubishi Pajero Debut Series, really comprehensive and practical. For example, the same seats could be folded, which is very practical. The car allowed it to be convenient to wander around various cities, and building the back of the chairs allowed them to remove them in such a way as possible to make a sleeping place without difficulties.

But in the summer of 1984, SUV has undergone some changes. The company decided to improve turbocharged diesel engines, increase their torque. Machines with an enlarged wheel in the length of the wheelbase have brake disk mechanisms on all four wheels.

The newest restyled series was brought up for sale since 1987. The body was issued in combination of 2 color solutions. The full-time equipment had 15-inch rollers, the function of heating the seats installed in front, which were bodied by the skin, a three-spoke steering wheel of a sports type, a good musical system with a radio and cassette radio.

Since 1987, Pajero was transferred under the management of the company, renamed the off-road car in Raider. In 1989, cars were released under the American company.
When 1988 came, consumers saw the newest motor from Mitsubishi, having a 3.0 liter volume.

All-wheel drive car possessed a V-shaped six-cylinder motor type SOHC. Having worked with him 2.5-lit turbocharged diesel option. The long-tie series was highlighted by a modernized suspension, which helped make movement on a bad road comfortable.

The SUV was sold in 2 versions: a three-door version with a short base and a five-door version with an extended base. The function of the connected all-wheel drive system is even in the standard configuration. Pajero's 1 family base was used later in the formal order for the design of Hyundai Galloper, which was produced for 13 years.

Despite the fact that the first generation itself was applied to the Galloper platform, the Korean off-road version was more like the second.

On the territory of North and South America (in addition to Brazil), Spain and India, this car was named Mitsubishi Montero, as in Spain, the name "Pajero" sounded unfavorable. England sold a lot of models, so the company also decided to rename the car in Shogun.

In 1990, they launched into the conveyor construction of the long-tone series of Mitsubishi Pajero Elite, differing from the standard modification, among other things, high-quality interior. Then the car took the 1st position in the T3 category on Rally Tunis. Already next year, the version received second in the general championship at Rally Parish-Dakar. By 1991, 3 special series were released in a modest circuit:

• Mitsubishi Pajero Togo, which was a short-passable version of "Canvas Top" and possessed a leather interior with inserts from expensive trees, cast rollers and advanced arches of the wheels;
• Mitsubishi Pajero EXE - is a long-base version and has a system of centralized locking locks, as well as the interior in blue color;
• Mitsubishi Pajero Osaka - received a system of centralized locking locks and possessed a leather interior, as well as inserts from expensive trees.

Second generation (1991-1999)

To restyling (1991-1996)

There was only 2 years and the Japanese for 1989 and 1990 were able to sell more than 300,000 of their SUVs. After that, in 1991, when the 3 generation jeep was at the highest place, the second generation time came, which did not lose the debut car. In 1991, I was released by Mitsubishi Pajero 2.

It possessed the new SUPER SELECT 4WD system, which allows moving in 4x4 mode along a dry road using an inter-sieve differential. Installed a pair of power plants. The novelty possessed 3.0-liter 6G72, operating on gasoline and diesel 2.5-liter 4D56 motor.

The five-door version received 3 rows of seats, and the body with a soft roof was electric drive. In the second family of Pajero, there was a version with customizable shock absorbers from within a / m, a swan of mechanical type and a hydraulic system for change of the height of the road lumen.

Together with comfortable modifications, Pajero issued a commercial execution with engines from the initial family. There was also a rear suspension located on the springs and not such a comfortable interior. In principle, 2 family of an off-road car was a deep modernization of the past generation.

Despite this, Pajero looked more modern, slightly increased in dimensions, and the rear suspension got the springs. The model was offered in the 3-door and 5-door version. The Fiftemer received execution with a high roof. By 1993, they decided to establish more recent power plants, including 3.5-l 6G73, who worked on gasoline and received a couple of upper "camshafts".

In addition to it, there were 2.8-liters setting 4m40, functioning on diesel fuel, where there was an intercooler and the chain drive of the gas distribution mechanism. At the same time, the gasoline unit 6G72 was modernized, which received four valves for each cylinder. The suspension installed behind the rear, equipped with springs and placed on 2 levers of the longitudinal type with the Panar rush, and a torsion beam was in front of the double lever of the transverse type.

Thanks to the Super-Select 4WD system, you can select a rear or drive to all wheels, connect a lowering range of speeds and block the central differential. A lot of vehicles (for consumers from Europe) had a function blocking the rear axle differential, which could be controlled from the inside (some cars had differential increased friction).

After restyling (1997-1999)

In 1997, renewed the second generation of the Japanese SUV. Changed the exterior and salon. V-shaped 3.5-liter "six" also upgraded. There was a place for the updated transmission of Invecs-II, where there was a newest automatic box (for a 3.5-liter motor provided for a five-speed, and for 2.8-liter "engine" operating on diesel fuel - a four-step box).

At the same time, they released a worn version for the rally raids, as well as the "civilian" execution of Pajero - Pajero Evolution, which had a 3.5-liter motor 6G74. He had a MIVEC system (the function of changing the phases of gas distribution) and issued 288 horsepower. Provided and execution with the "automatic", where there was the possibility of switching speeds in manual order Invecs II. The newest transmission, called Super-Select 4WD-II, was put together with the differential of increased friction for the rear axle.

The following year, "foglights" began to establish in the bumper even in basic equipment. The structure of the power plant was simplified - instead of the head of cylinders with 2 camshafts, installed other single heads. Building Japanese Mitsubishi Pajero 2 generations in my homeland ended in 1999. As before, the license for the car was sold to the company from China, which made this version to date under the "Label" Liebao Leopard.

When 2002 came the need for European countries to this vehicle, which is more accessible than 3 family of brand, prompted the management companies to recreate the production of the car in Japanese factories. Cars were sold to Europe under the name Pajero Classic. The model possessed in the 1997 sample, had a 3-door and 5-door body, a topless diesel engine with a turbine, which issued 116 "horses".

The motor worked in a pair with 5-speed "mechanics" and a complete Easy SELECT drive system, as well as with a Torsen differential with a pair of degrees of blocking installed from behind. Sell \u200b\u200bin European countries the model began since 1998. The car has become greater, as he got bloated barrel-shaped wings. But, despite this, they did not cease to release versions with narrow wheels and wings. The headlights of the head lighting, the radiator grille, the bumper and the appearance of the "fog" are changed.

The luggage compartment was coiled with a carpet, but if you fold the rear seats, it is not highlighted by the spaciousness. This disadvantage is absent in the "five-door". Inside Mitsubishi Pajero, 5 tall people can fit without difficulty. In addition to all, digging, provided another version - the semi high roof wagon semi-route machine.

The dashboard turned out to be rounded out of corners. The devices are easy to read, and the backlight has always satisfied motorists. Interestingly, inside the Japanese all-wheel drive SUV, even a pedal node is illuminated. The 1997 version has an altimeter, a thermometer and a benchometer.

The settings organs of heating and ventilation functions are very comfortable. The wheel is pleasantly driving, and the backs of the chairs can be adjusted in the loan area. Pleases the presence of windows that operate on an electric drive. Luke can also be opened from the inside using the button. Thanks to the autonomous heater, it is possible to warm up the rear armchairs, and its work can customize the passengers themselves.

The full drive system functions without failures. If the company sold licenses to the first and second generation, then with 3 family, there was no such. But problems did not leave the Japanese - since 2000, a tax on the full drive system was introduced.

Separately, it is worth highlighting Mitsubishi Pajero Mini (Pinin). Not only the Japanese worked on the designer of the model. Specialists from the Italian company engaged in design designers and body structure in the automotive area came to the rescue. After a short period of time, the Italians were able to release what Mitsubishi's leadership wanted. Therefore, in 1998, the mass production of the Mini SUV Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin began.

In Italian, the word "pinin" is translated as "the youngest". This is exactly the car in the list of "big" PAJERO SUVs.

Technical characteristics of Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin

It was installed on it 1.8-liter engine 4G18 and 4G93, which are gasoline options. They had a direct fuel injection and developed 114, 120 "horses". The transmission role was the 5-speed mechanical or 4-speed automatic gearbox (INVECS-II). Fuel consumption was significantly smaller, therefore, maybe many preferred this model "massive" Pajero.

Third Generation (1999-2006)

The third family of Mitsubishi Pajero decided to produce in 1999. The novelty received the body carrying the body instead and possessed independent spring pendants on all wheels. We upgraded the transmission, and the differential installed in the center, was now asymmetrical. On all executive mechanisms were installed servos.

European buyers were able to appreciate the novelty only in 2000 with the help of their excellent qualities and reputations, which had earned over eighteen years, began selling a new model in an accelerated manner. This family was highlighted from past cars.

The car has become wider, decreased in height and lengthened by 70 millimeters. Such a model can accommodate up to seven passengers. 3-door performance with wheel base 2 545 mm was performed. She could accommodate 5 passengers. The third series has a powerful turbodiesel, all-wheel drive transmission Super-SEELECT SS4-II, a five-speed gearbox, an independent front and rear suspension and high-strength body with a built-in frame.

The exterior of the auto is remembered, and the salon is highlighted in appeal - it has always separated among Pajero rivals. Jeep comfortable and comfortable. If we talk for the complete set, then it is as usual at a high level. The salon has an automatic climate system, stereo equipment, leather upholstery of the interior, side airbags and other elements designed to increase comfort.

When 2004 came, the company began selling upgraded Mitsubishi Pajero III. Technically, the machine did not stand out from the pristine option, however, the renovation was affected by the salon and appearance. The car began to look trimmed and aristocratic with the help of round fog headlights and a new form of the bumper.

Instead of red emblem, they began to put a chrome signboard. Jeep rollers have acquired 6 spokes. Thanks to the new steps that are great for highlighting, helps to sit down or get up from the car, the convenience of landing has grown significantly. On the back, they put new lights and white swivel plaffones, mounted in the bumper.

The bumper installed behind the back, did not get a chromium insert. Behind the back of the luggage compartment, on which a spare wheel is installed, a little displaced to the right. The left of him is located license plate.

The technical part of the third generation

Mitsubishi Pajero III was made with engines that operate on gasoline and diesel fuel. For countries of independent states, a V-shaped six-cylinder 3.5-liter motor operating on gasoline and having direct injection technology to the GDI combustion chamber is shown.

The service is able to ensure that the injection must be made and can adjust the level of the fuel mixture. Such an aggregate issues 202 horse forces and torque in 318 N.M. It is important that already 80 percent of traction can be used with 1,500 revolutions per minute. V-shaped "six", which were intended for sales in the Japanese market, developed 220 and 245 "horses".

From the very beginning, many considered such an engine with the support of the GDI system, ideal, however, the time passed all points. Practice has shown that the motor does not like "our" gasoline, as a result, the fuel pump begins to climb. The power plant operating on diesel fuel, which received a volume of 3.2 liters, develops 160 horsepower, and the figure showing torque, even more than that of a gasoline "brother" - 372 N.M.

There is a considerable advantage of a 3.2-liter motor, you can call the installation in the system of the gas distribution mechanism of the chain, while the belt was put on a 3.5-liter. However, the chain also needs a clear replacement (180,000 km). But there is also a lack of a diesel version - a intake manifold is clogged. And everything is again due to the low-quality fuel.

There is also a diesel 2.5-liter engine, developing 100 "horses". It is installed only on regular modifications GL. Cars that were intended for the Arab region had a proven V-shaped 6-cylinder 3.0-liter engine.

It allows you to issue 179 horse forces. For the United States Market, a gasoline 3.8-liter installation, outstanding 218 "horses", is offered. The full drive system made it possible to connect a four-wheel drive during a ride, however, to enable reduced gear, it should be completely stopped.

The usual mode provides for the transmission of 37 percent of the torque on the front wheels and 63 percent per rear. Vehicles that went for the CIS countries had a 5-speed "automatic" Invecs 2, where it is possible to switch the speeds in manual mode. In addition to the "automaton", there were 5-speed "mechanics".

Fourth generation

The model began to produce since 2006. The Japanese survived several insignificant improvements, the last of which passed in 2014. Presented a restyled version of the off-road machine on the MMAC-2014.

Exterior

Mitsubishi Pajero is one of the small amount of off-road vehicles, which remained devoted to his classic design created for driving off-road. The exterior of the car is still simple, brutal and causes a sense of reliability and confidence. When restyling, the car has received a new radiator grille, another front bumper with built-in lightning stool lights and the other form of fog.

The last generation came out bright and modern, but still in an external image did not find smooth "feminine" lines that are inherent in current crossovers. The appearance was created with a bias on the dimensions of the car - the distinguishing grille of the radiator, big headlights, air intake, elements of aerodynamics - it all looks very harmonious.

The plane of the hood, which is made of aluminum, is like a dining table. The side part immediately shows its large arches of the wheels, and large doors are a wonderful guarantor of comfort and visibility. Side mirrors with turn repeaters received large dimensions and provide excellent rear visibility. There is a large area of \u200b\u200bglazing, a flat roof and a large cut of the back from the vertical rack.

Since this car is not small, it was necessary to make a comfortable landing and disembarking of people from him. This contributed to the presence of broad footsteps, which also protect the thresholds of the car from mechanical damage.

The body component of the off-road vehicle using the presence of a built-in frame has high rigidity, due to this, the car has excellent handling - when driving at high speed and to overcome off-road. In order to strengthen additional body safety, there were strong moldings on the doors. Also not forgotten about the protection of the suspension and the separation unit.

Looking at the back of the car, you immediately understand that he is not afraid of off-road. This is evidenced by the established high bumper. As a staining of the body part, the presence of beige, gray, white, silver and graphite color is used. In addition to basic colors, you can choose others, for example, if you want to paint the car in a brown performance, then you will need to give about 17,000 rubles.

If we talk in general, then Pajero is a classic brutal car of an off-road type that does not want to switch to modern design standards. The stern mitsubishi pajero was not deprived of style. There you can find a bumper with a spare wheel.

Mitsubishi Pajero 4 generation has individuality and expressiveness. 18-inch alloy wheels are decorated. To enhance the practicality of the jeep, the designers provided railing on the roof.

When 4 generation appeared, most experts argued - whether this new car or deep restyling 3 families was. After all, according to external signs, cars are quite similar. The nasal and the stern part is plungefully different, but the average has saved recognizable features with the 3rd generation.

Interior

The domestic variation of Mitsubishi Pajero is intended for convenient location of 5 people with chauffeur. Rear seats can freely accommodate passengers with any complete set. All interior materials are very pleasant, both in the tactile and visual plan. The seats installed in front are well distinguished, which received the heating function.

They know how to keep the body and hips well. I also like the presence of a convenient steering wheel, on which the keys control the cruise control and the music system are deposited. He was assigned only to adjust the height, which is not very good, but it is compensated by a wide selection of driver seating settings.

In order to get used to the location of the instrument panel, keys and control levers, you need all some minutes. This indicates a good interior ergonomics, which is already at the usual high level. The central console has three zones where there is a climate installation, a flightcomputer and a multimedia system.

The selector of the automatic gearbox switch and the "Distribution" lever looks very high quality. Installed behind the seating, give enough free space in any directions. To reach the back of the front chairs is almost impossible, as well, sitting to reach your head to the ceiling.

The sofa installed for the rear passengers can change the angle of inclination of the back. Speaking about the luggage compartment, it is worth saying that it is rather big and has 663 liters of useful space, while the fact that five people are already sitting. If necessary, this number can be increased to a fantastic 1,789 liters of free space, while rear armchairs.

It is also worth noting that if you fold the rear row, you can sleep in the car. To speak as a whole, everything is quite simple in the interior design. There are no coupling details, stylish inserts, but the interior looks quite presentably and efficiently, partly due to the use of expensive materials.

Driving seat is allocated by good visibility. There is one small drawback - this is insufficient noise isolation that many car owners complain. The last update was to solve this problem.

Specifications

Force aggregate

In the Russian Federation, Mitsubishi Pajero 4th generation will be offered with 3 variations of power plants: this is a pair of engines that function on gasoline and one motor on diesel fuel. In general, the company offers a wider range of selection of power plants. As mentioned above, this list begins a 3.0-liter motor, which gives about 178 horsepower.

It has a 24-valve SOHC type gas distribution system and a combustible injection system of fuel Eci-Multi. Consumes "the weakest" from the line of the power unit in the combined mode for both boxes of about 12.2 liters per hundred.

Next comes 3.8-liter 6G75, in which the V-shaped six is \u200b\u200bpresent. It has a 24-valve gas distribution mechanism, distributed fuel injection ECI-MULTI and MIVEC gas distribution system. Its power is 250 horses. He "eats" it AI-95 and requires 13.5 liters in the combined cycle.

Diesel variation 4M41 comes with 4 cylinders, which have a row layout. The diesel has 3.2-liters of volume and 16 valve type DOHC type Type DOHC, electronic direct injection Common Rail Di-D and turbocharging, which makes it possible to develop 200 horse forces.

The diesel version of the engine can overclock the machine to 185 km / h limit speed mode, while spending about 11.1 seconds to reach a 100 km / h mark. But "eats" it is less - about 8.9 liters per hundred kilometers in combination mode.

The diesel power unit is a rather reliable engine, sensible problem areas occur after 100 - 120 thousand mileage kilometers when the engine is more sensitive to the quality of fuel and starts to flure the high pressure valve.

Transmission

It is clear that we should not expect from a 3.0-liter 178-strong motor of excellent dynamics, so along with a 5-speed manual gearbox, the machine reaches the first hundred for 12.6 seconds. The same motor, but with an automatic 5-range automaton requires 13.6 seconds to the value of the speed mode 100 km / h. 175 km / h - just such a maximum speed independently of the selected gearbox.

The first hundred jeep with a 3.8-liter 250-strong motor operating in a pair with a 5-range automatic box is achieved in 10.8 seconds, and the maximum speed is at the level of 200 km / h. The 4m41 engine is synchronized only with a 5-range "automatic" invecs-II, which has electronic control, allowing you to adjust the owner's movement manner.

The SUV built on a confident platform and equipped it in all modifications of the SUPER SELECT 4WD II permanent drive system on the platform of an asymmetric central differential with the blocking options in automatic mode (viscous food), or a forced mechanical lock, which is not available in starting modifications. Moreover, there are 2-speed reduction box, and the version with top engines as an additional option will receive a blockable rear differential.

Suspension

It's no secret to anyone, which off-road characteristics has this car Mitsubishi Pajero - 12 titles of Victory Rally Dakar. The suspension is fully independent, on the springs. There are double transverse levers in front, and in the rear axle a multi-dimensional system.

If we talk for the functionality of the Mitsubishi PAJERO of the 4th generation, it looks good, not perfect, but also not critical. The weakest place is the bushings of the front and rear stabilizers, which are withstanding no more than 50,000 km

Steering

The steering is answered by the Rack mechanism, which is complemented by a hydraulic amplifier. Driving a car with a pleasure.

Brake system

Speaking about the brake system, it is worth noting that there are ventilated disc brakes everywhere - there are 4-piston calipers ahead, and the rear is built in the wheels of the parking brake drums. There are problems with wear of pads and brake discs.

Gabarits.

Speaking about the dimensional component of the Mitsubishi Pajero of the 4th generation, then they are almost preserved, the length of the SUV is 4,900 mm, the wheelbase is 2,780 mm, the car takes 1,875 mm wide, and the height is 1,890 mm. The height of the road lumen will vary, depending on which the modification will be - from 225 to 235 mm, which is very good, given the quality of our roads.

It will not be scary to go loaded to the cottage or by his affairs. The machine is able to overcome the brother depth to 700 mm, take the assault to the rise with the corner of the check-in to 36.6 degrees and tow the trailer, which is equipped with brakes, weighing from 1,800 - 3 300 kg. He himself occupies from 2 100 - 2,380 kg. It depends on what kind of equipment will be chosen, various alloy wheels with a diagonal of 17-18 inches will be installed.

Safety

Mitsubishi Pajero IV generation was able to bring together a list of modern technologies that ensure safety. The main "chip" can be called a special fortified body design, designed specifically to counter strike. There are a number of electronic assistants.

Among them are ABS, EBD, Break Assist, Brake Override System, allowing you to ensure a confident vehicle stop, despite the most extreme conditions.

Based on the Australian Crash test NRMA, it became clear that the technical filling of 4 security families was very effective. Of the 37 maximum scores for the safety of the driver and passengers, the car was able to dial 28.41 points. However, the safety estimation of a pedestrian showed that when he hit with the machine, he would not envy, because the SUV received only 2 points out of 36 possible in this segment.

All areas of the driver's body and passenger were able to obtain a high estimate of protection during frontal and sidewall collision. Here there is also a reservation - the driver's knees during the direct strike, 2 points from 4 maximum were obtained. All wines lack of knee airbags.

Passive safety includes:

• Frontal airbags, which are revealed in 2 stages;
• Front side airbags;
• Curtain type airbags;
• Rear door locks (protection for children);
• Safety bars in the doorway;
• Pretensioners of 3-point safety belts with inertial coils.

Active safety and suspension can be attributed to:

• Anti-lock brake system;
• Currency stability systems;
• Emergency braking care;
• Anti-slip system;
• Systems that distribute brake efforts;
• Blocking the rear differential.

Configuration and prices

The standard equipment of the off-road Mitsubishi pajero of the 4th generation has a 5-speed mechanical transmission. The price of such a version began from 2,179,000 rubles and is called Invite. All other modifications will be offered with a non-alternative 5-range automatic and complete drive.

Diesel variation cost earlier from 2 869 990 - to 3,029,990 rubles, depending on the configuration. Today, the Mitsubishi PAJERO 4-generation SUV can be bought from 2,749,000 and only with gasoline 3.0 (178 hp) engine and has 3 variations with equipment: Intense, Instyle, Ultimate.

Prices in the table for March 2018.

Fifth generation

The Japanese firm Mitsubishi can surprise, intrigue and even misleading his rivals. This happened during the Tokyo Motor Show, when the company presented the conceptual version of the 5th generation of Gyps Pajero. The novelty was able to attach attention to himself and makes you ask a lot of questions, so the task of the company's management was performed.

Invent something new and unique like many departments of designers and developments. However, it is important to understand that the machines are not white canvas. But the employees of the Japanese company managed to jump above the head, because the designers made an unusual exterior, internal layout and equipped the model with non-standard electronic equipment.

Windshield smoothly flows into a glass type roof, which provides panoramic overview and indicates space colors. There is no side rack at all, and the doors open in different directions. On the doors, do not find the handles, because they open with the help of electronics.

The "tidy" was performed in the form of a touch block. She was placed on the torpedo. It is unusual that it seems to be a bar, passes between the armchairs. Finding inside feel the spaciousness, however, the touch "border" seems to be a bit fragile and takes a lot of free space. The appearance of the model is a bit not proportional, but the stern part is more harmonious.

By affecting technical equipment, it is worth noting that there are no special innovations. It is envisaged for the presence of a gasoline power unit included in the front-engine layout, complemented by the PHEV system. The electric motor also settled ahead.

Behind you can find only a block of electrobatars. It cannot be said that Mitsubishi Pajero V is tied to the outlet, however, the model may well become an eco-friendly movement. In the quality of the LCA, a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine V6 MIVEC with a Super-Charger and a fairly capacious battery that fills the auxiliary option will be applied.

Electric motor power at 70 kW. Complete charge should be up to 40 kilometers. The link between motors and wheels will be 8-speed "automatic" gearbox.

Let's sum up

4th generation Mitsubishi Pajero Let not change the car dramatically, but still made it more stylish. In general, his appearance immediately makes him respect him, no matter where he is on the road or off-road. The car inspires a sense of trust and reliability. Massive arches of wheels, large wheels made of light alloy, footboard, rails and a full-sized spare wheel eloquently indicate serious intentions of the machine.

The high road clearance will allow not to worry not only about borders, but also about the brods depth to 700 mm. Finding into the salon will not be able to notice any exquisite elements, everything is quite simple, neatly and ergonomics at the proper level. The front seats are very comfortable, which can be said about the rear, where three adults will easily fit. Moreover, they will not interfere with the roof above the head and the front back of the seats.

The luggage compartment is simply a huge scale, which, if necessary, can still be increased by resolving the backs of the rear seats. Power units are strong enough and copier with their tasks well. Four-wheel drive allows you to fully experience all the pleasure of driving off-road. A good degree of configuration even in the basic version will delight many.

Not forgotten by the company and to ensure the proper level of security, which will be able to secure life not only to the driver, but also sitting near passengers. Various help services that are designed to help the driver in difficult situations are also present in the car. In general, it turned out a very good car with excellent off-road characteristics and an acceptable price / quality ratio.

Despite the fact that the conceptual version of the fifth generation Mitsubishi Pajero has already been presented, there is still no real version. Of course, the appearance of the prototype is impressive, however, he is far to the appearance of the real male SUV. It turns out that the company slightly went over with a futuristic style, although someone knows, maybe some kind of element and can find an application in the future series. But so far, V version is not off-road.

Partly, this is noticeable of not enough wheels, impractical electric doors and a dubious sensory "delimiter" of the salon. Yes, and the stroke of 40 km is clearly lacking enough to read the model independent of the internal combustion engine.

It creates a feeling that even if this model will be released with the same exterior and filling, most drivers will not want to transplane from their powerful, male and brutal SUVs on a hybrid car with a futuristic design. However, everything will explain only time, because you can not doubt that the specialists of the Japanese company are now working on the next generation.

Test Drive

Video Overview

Since 1982, all Mitsubishi Pajero was installed with a working volume of 2.3 liters. and with a capacity of 84 hp There was also a variant of a 2.6 liter gasoline engine and a capacity of 103 hp In the same year a new version of 95 hp was added. In addition to the main versions of the engines, 2-liter engines were installed on the SUV, which were capable of giving power to 110 hp, and in mode - up to 145 hp

Since 1987, catalytic neutralizers installed on Mitsubishi Pajero with gasoline engines, and in 1989 there was a 92-strong version of turboodiesel with an intercooler, as well as a 3-liter injection engine V6 with a capacity of 111 hp. From this point on, the ecology issue of PAJERO engines stopped disturbing buyers from Europe. The only serious problem is the voyage of the gasoline version remained, because its consumption was about 20 liters per 100 kilometers in a mixed cycle.

In some countries, Pajero began to be sold as or. The first generation did not buy well, because too, chopped body forms and a too simple design of the full drive contributed to the weak success of the car on the world market.

New Pajero 1991.

All failures blocked Pajero, which was released in 1991. It has produced the body and increased the quality of the transmission. The second generation of this SUV quickly gained popularity worldwide. The most interesting thing is that the front side member frame, an independent suspension with all its properties, remained unchanged. The only thing that has changed has been replaced by springs. Despite the fact that the stuffing has not changed, thanks to the new appearance, the car Bila sales records.

Excellent dynamics, excellent permeability, carefully thought-out design and good performance indicators made it possible to become one of the expensive elite SUVs.

Pajero 1991 was gained its popularity due to an extraordinary appearance, which was different from the canons of rolling-based SUVs of that time. Most users celebrate comfort and mitsubishi running characteristics. Others are confident in the success of advanced transmission.

The model began to establish a new Full Drive transmission (four-wheel drive). Her work mode can be changed on the go. Thanks to this, the driver can choose the transmission mode, which is most suitable for its case and manage it using the instrument panel. Under the order, the car can be provided with interlocking differentials.

Pajero was produced from the 3rd and 5-door body. A wheelbase for 30 centimeters was expanded with five doors and it was mostly called Wagon (wagon). Its production was launched in 5 and 7-seater options. The version in three doors in the production was with a cluster folding roof and a large hatch over the front seats.

Since 1994, the company has become equipped with a car with new engines - gasoline 3.0 V6 and diesel 1.8 TD.

Pajero Restyling 1997.

After 3 years, in 1997 the company made restyling, retaining the main stylist. On sale on the European continent, the car began to be sold since 1998. PAJERO has become more voluminous, because it was modified by inflated barrel-shaped wings. Despite this, the models with narrow wheels and wings in the previous modification continued to be released and this Mitsubishi Pajero Classic was called.

Starting from the fall of 1997, an engine 3.5 V6 GDI engine began to install on Pajero.

The trunk is staminated by carpet and even with a folded seat, it is small. This shortcoming is not in five-door versions of 4565x1695x1850 mm. Also in the cabin such a car can easily accommodate up to 5 passengers with growth of 189 centimeters. In addition, there was another version in production: a 7-seater extended SEMI High Roof Wagon model with a size of 4820 x 1775 x 1850 millimeters.

The instrument panel is rounded, now it is delivered from the corners. All devices differ well, and the backlight in the cabin is made taking into account the wishes of motorists. It is noteworthy that even a pedal node is lit in the cabin.
