Prototype

Pajero I November, 1973

The Look Says “Jeep,” The Fun, “Pajero.”

The styling syas, “jeep,” but the Pajero I prototype was geared for anyting but all work no

play. Unveriled at the 1973 Tokyo Motor Show, it marked Mitsubishi’s pioneering first step in

evolving a workhorse into a pure thoroughbred. The Pajer II prototype came out five years later

at the 1978 Show. The signature concept? More RV, less jeep. And very definitely worth the

wait.

1st Generation (1982 – 1990)

Metal Top May,

Meet 1st generation Pajero, the “Big Daddy” of the RV generation.

The 1st generation Pajero was where tody’s RV boom started. And no wonder, coming with

breakthrough standard equipment like front-wheel independent suspension, turbo diesel engine,

center-through drive train and automatic free-wheel. The short body soon became recognized as

the benchmark of the 4WDs of the future-as Pajero’s performance on the international rally

circuit sent a clear message that this was much more than another pretty face.

2nd Generation (1991 – 2000)

V-Type Long and Short

What a body! Long on looks, 2nd generation Pajero didn’t give the competition a sporting chance.

After a full model change, the 2nd generation Pajero still retained much of its predecessor’s

rugged good looks, but with sporty new features like Super Select 4WD (SS4) and Powerful 230

horsepower 3.5-litre V-6 gasoline engine. More handsome and refined than ever, Generation II

was the auto industry’s wakeup call oth the nineties defining what a 4WD should – and can – be.

3rd Generation (2001 – 2005)

New-type pajero Long and Short September, 1999

Sleek, feline styling. The long and short of a new generation

1999 marked Pajero’s second full model change, its “rite of passage” to the stunning new 3rd

generation. With new body desing, engine and maneuverability, no wonder the world went, “Wow!”

Also featured are new high-rigidity monocoque body with built-in frame and independent 4-wheel

suspension, for dramatically greater safety and stability on any terrain. That’s the long and

the short of it – the new millennium’s recreation center on wheels.

Naver on the rest on the laurels of past sussesses, Mitsubishi adopts boldly proactive approach

to the newly evolved 3rd generation Pajero, basing its makeover on the overall design concept,

“Grater power with Grearter Control.”

Power comes from a new 3.8-litre V6 engine-the largest inpajero history-and control from an

advanced safety-enhancing M-ASTC (Mitsubishi Active Stability & Traction Control) System.

other improvements update body styling and cabin comfort. One thing’s certain: the SUV

benchmark is not about to give up its well-earned place at the top.

In 2006, the pajero technologies are concentrated into every drive mechanism on the all-new Pajero.
