Mitsubishi listens to its customers and updates its Pajero
As one of the world’s most formidable off-roaders, the Mitsubishi Pajero has received a number of updates based on customer feedback and market trends.
The 2015 model year Pajero range, which continues to include both short- and long-wheelbase derivatives all powered by Mitsubishi’s proven 3.2-litre DI-D turbocharged diesel engine, now features a number of cosmetic enhancements.
The updated Pajero sports a new grille and bumper design with bulky proportions giving it a more modern appearance. Incorporated in the front bumper are LED daytime running lights, while the bumper’s design still allows departure angles.
The updated Pajero also offers new alloy wheels which are different on each derivative. Further, it has a newly designed and sturdier new spare wheel cover on the LWB derivatives now covers the entire spare wheel whilst giving the vehicle a more modern look from the rear as well. On the inside, the standard rear view camera now displays its picture on the infotainment system interface, and automatic headlight dimming is now available on all derivatives.
The updated Pajero offers three models – the SWB GLS, LWB GLS and the LWB GLS. All models offer fully-fledged four-wheel drive systems, which include centre and rear differential locks (viscous couplings), and Mitsubishi’s unique Super Select 4WD system. Super Select 4WD includes an easy-to-use manual shift lever which allows the driver to choose between four drive modes.
Safety equipment remains of high standards, all models featuring ABS with EBD and BAS, ASTC (Active Stability and Traction Control), six airbags, an immobiliser and alarm, and remote central locking.
