    Mitsubishi Pajero (4th gen) 2006-

    Mitsubishi Pajero (2006)

    World Premier for the next generation of Pajero (European market specification) at Paris Motor Show

    Tokyo, September 8, 2006 — Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) is to give the new global standard SUV Pajero (European market specification) its world debut at Le Mondial de l'Automobile 2006 (Paris Motor Show 2006) to be held in Halls 1-8 of the Paris Expo porte de Versailles from September 28 (September 30 for the general public) through October 15.
    More than 2.5 million Pajeros have been produced in the approximately 25 years since the first generation was launched in 1982. Sold in over 170 countries and regions today, Pajero has earned enormous popularity as a sport utility vehicle boasting outstanding durability and endurance that enable it to deliver safe, secure and comfortable performance over any and all types of road surface.

    Debuting at the Paris Motor Show, this Pajero is the fourth in the series. The latest Pajero offers reliability forged in the crucible of grueling competition and use under the harshest conditions to be found on our planet. It retains the all-round SUV specifications of its predecessor, as seen in its approach angle, ground clearance and other all-terrain performance parameters. New features that distinguish the fourth-generation Pajero include:

    • A powertrain applied a new 3.2-liter 4-cylinder diesel with common rail direct fuel injection or a 3.8-liter V6 MIVEC*1 gasoline unit.
    • A 4WD system comprised of the sophisticated Super Select 4WD-II transfer case while both ASTC*2 and the rear differential lock available — developed on the bedrock of MMC's All-Wheel-Control (AWC) concept and delivering significant improvements in both off-road and tarmac performance.
    • Tastefully designed dashboard and interior complemented by high-end equipment such as Rockford Acoustic Design Premium Sound System™ with a new 860W 12-speaker.

    This latest Pajero is to be produced at Pajero Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in Gifu Prefecture, Japan. MMC plans to start shipments to Europe in September, followed by shipments in Japan and to Australia in October. Eventually the company plans to export the car to some 170 countries and regions in the Near & Middle East, Central and South America, and Asia and ASEAN regions.
    Debuting alongside at the Paris Motor Show will be the similarly-styled next generation of Pajero Evolution which will be entered at the 2007 Dakar Rally.

    yes, also in Spain the pajero is called Montero, because here Pajero means "wanker"

    In the two first pictures in the left-front there is some kind of duct, is that a snorkel?

    Gora Euskadi! Visca Catalunya!

    That would be a fender mirror. It helps when parking, allowing you to see the drivers side wing and bumper.

    Most of cars produced in Japan for the domestic market have such side mirrors (usually one).
    It's not denial. I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

    That's because they can also be attached to the passenger side to see down the full length of the side of the car.

    Right. It's also more convenient to look at your fender than your A pillars.

    A 3.2 4 cilinder diesel? isn't 3.2 a bit to much for a 4cil?
