From the rugged terrains of the Dakar to the smooth city roads of the most modern metropolises, the Mitsubishi Pajero continues to ferociously guard its territory. A job it has done with absolute panache for over two decades and a half.
What began as a prototype unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in November of 1973, arrived in the marketplace in May 1981 and made its impressive debut at the Paris-Dakar Rally in January 1983, taking first place in 1985 at the third attempt itself bolsters the Mitsubishi Pajero's 'Born to win' image.
Small wonder then, in the recently concluded UAE Desert Challenge Mitsubishi not only came first for the fifth time in a row, but also captured the team title in the FIA Cross Country Rally World Cup. Its 6 wins in a row and 11 overall victories at the Dakar Rally - the world's most punishing rallies, are equally legendary.
Now, after three highly successful generations the world is eagerly anticipating the arrival of the next generation which will herald yet another metamorphosis in the distinct rugged warrior lineage of Mitsubishi.
The Pajero has always been a peerless testament of power, luxury and performance. Powerful and technologically advanced, the Mitsubishi Pajero, with its significantly enhanced on-road performance and superior off-road prowess, continues lead in the aggressive SUV pack.
A true leader for the next generation, Pajero's unbeatable record of rousing finishes in the world's roughest off-road rallies repeatedly sets the standard for streetwise sports utility vehicle performance.
For the style conscious city dwellers, the Pajero is available in a compact 3-door and spacious 5-door versions, each powered by a choice of 3-liter and 3.8-liter power plants and boasts a host of class leading inside appointments.
