Every drive is an adventure

Pajero’s impressive power and torque mean a mammoth 3,000kg* towing capacity so you can tow your boat, caravan or trailer with supreme confidence.

The Mitsubishi 5-Speed INVECS II (Intelligent and Innovative Vehicle Electronic Control System) automatic transmission operates by switching between logic controls. An onboard computer learns and adapts to each driver's preferences by recording engine and foot braking data. The control logic then adapts the automatic gearshift timing to suit that driver's style, while minimizing torque function fluctuation for effortless acceleration and a more predictable ride.

The very latest in diesel engine technology delivers power without compromise. The 3.2 litre Common Rail turbo-charged diesel available across the Pajero range yields not only next generation quietness, smoothness, fuel efficiency and emission reduction through an advanced common rail system, but delivers 147kW of power and 441Nm of grunty torque. This power isn't at the expense of fuel efficiency. The manual Pajero sips just 8.4L/100kms*

The 3.8 litre V6 MIVEC engine (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and lift Electronic Control) available on Pajero Exceed, offers the latest technology with a lighter engine and intelligent valve timing technology to deliver improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions, while providing improved driveability. The MIVEC engine matches your driving style to minimize fuel consumption at lower revs while increasing airflow at high revs for greater performance up to an awesome 184kW.

The Rear Differential Lock is useful for negotiating low traction surfaces such as sand, mud, snow-covered or rocky surfaces or boat ramps. It locks the rear differential, which means that both rear wheels have an equal torque split, regardless of whether either wheel has traction – meaning maximum possible traction in different situations. The Rear Differential Lock option is easily engaged and disengaged – and the switch is mounted on the Pajero’s instrument panel.

For superior handling, the Pajero boasts independent multi-link rear suspension – with coil springs adding to increased suspension travel and track. The result is maximum tread contact on tough terrain. The independent layout also reduces under steer and improves cornering stability – meaning enhanced ride comfort, both on and off the road.

In the automatic Pajero, Sports Mode is engaged when the shift lever is moved sideways, giving you convenience of an automatic – or the performance of a slick, clutchless manual drive. When engaged, the transmission delivers a responsive, sporty and dynamic performance that allows for superior acceleration and overtaking.

The Pajero's Super Select 4WD II lets you have full-time 4WD with selectable 2WD mode – which means the choice of around-town fuel efficiency and off-road traction whenever you want. This unique system allows you to alternate between 4WD to 2WD modes at speeds of up to 100km/h.

Whether you're cruising down the highway or just going across town, 2H mode shifts you into rear-wheel drive for smooth, quiet, fuel-efficient performance.

When the weather turns bad and the road gets rough, get added traction in 4H mode. The dynamic front/rear torque split adjusts between 33:67 and 50:50 for greater control in high-speed driving.

Keeping you on track in rugged or slippery conditions, 4HLC distributes power equally to all four wheels to meet off-road challenges with a steady sense of control.

Switch to 4LLC when you need all the tractor-like crawling power your Mitsubishi 4WD is capable of. Maximised low-end torque pulls you through even the roughest terrain, stickiest mud and deepest snow.
