Here are some of the core features that mark the distinct position of Pajero in the market.
Enduring Exterior
Mitsubishi Pajero is known for its rugged exterior that is constant after 2013. Making minor changes in the exterior increases the Pajero’s recognisability and makes it’s exterior enduring. At the front, headlights and projector lamps are clustered at the corner with fog lights located beneath. Whereas, the built-in wheel case and roof rails were standard in all the models.
Cabin and Comfort
The Mitsubishi Pajero cabin is designed ingeniously offering maximum cargo space. The last row of seats is foldable that provides additional space. A digital screen along with an infotainment system is installed at the centre. Furthermore, the car features an automatic climate control system that works separately for the rear and front zones.
An Ultimate Off-Roader
The off-roading capabilities of Mitsubishi Pajero sets new automotive standards. AWD and 4×4 are the two main drivetrain systems offered. This low-range transmission system is facilitated with differentials and a powerful V6 engine.

Whereas for comfort, leather steering, heated and power adjusted seats, aluminium pedals and a sunroof is included.
This 4×4 SUV is powered by a 3.2-Litre turbodiesel engine paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission system. Hence, the fuel economy of FInal Edition is estimated to be 9.1-Litre/100km.
