Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin Gabarites Sizes. Tires and discs for Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin, the size of the wheels on Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin. All like adults

All-wheel drive SUV Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin is a more compact modification of the popular full-size jeep Pajero. The development of the Mitsubishi Motors company was developing a PinInfarina Atelier, as a result of which the car saw in 1998 in the Japanese market called "IO", which when translating from Italian means "I".

European consumers this car With the name of Pinin, meaning the "youngest or youngest one", were able to see and gain a year later when the production of the car was organized in Italy.

Aspects of exterior implementation

The sale of the Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin of the SUV considered Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin immediately brought him an impressive popularity, since the design style of the design fully retained the similarity with his senior fellow Pajero. At the same time, the jeep turned out to be quite compact, which is confirmed by its overall parameters:

A year after the debut Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin was demonstrated by the five-door variation of the SUV, the dimensions of which are indicated in the table as the maximum values. This version Also designed by the specialists of the Designer Studio PinInfarina. This modification has increased significantly luggage compartmentAlso appeared a bulk "subfield" with the presence of a plastic pallet, rationally divided into pockets and niches.

The SUV presented in the photo during its existence was subjected to several restyings. In the past in 2005, the last auto update received chrome manufacturer's chrome logos, silvery rails, painted in body color side mirrors, alloy wheels and chrome door handles. Also, the models were provided by a new body design - blue metallic. At the same time, the jeep with the presence of a more powerful power unit could be distinguished by the presence of lateral silver moldings.

Features of interior execution

Our Description of the Interior Design of the Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin SUV should begin with a statement of the presence of a very convenient driver's seat with an extensive range of adjustments. At the same time published by the owners of the jeep reviews state the presence in the cabin is enough ergonomic devices, the testimony of which at any time of the day is easily perceived. The central console is a three rotating microclimate control handles, a CD audio system and has an impressive display of the display, visualizing the external temperature, trip-computer data, radio information information and the current time.

The rear armchair pillow Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin is solid, while adjustments can be exclusively the slope of separate backs, which can be folded together or separately, and the pillow can be completely removed. The car has an excellent visibility, in the formation of which a special role belongs to the rear-tangible head restraints and external large mirrors. In general, the execution of the interior of the model is made in accordance with modern trends in the presence of high-quality finishing materials and in detail of thoughtful ergonomics.

Technical characteristics of SUV.

For Jeep Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin, two gasoline power plants were prepared by the manufacturer with the following technical specifications:

The above engines can be aggregated with five-speed mechanics or four-band automata. A modification with a less powerful power unit is equipped with Full Time 4WD all-wheel drive transmission, and for a more powerful variation, Super Select 4WD is provided by a multi-mode transmission, while connecting the four-wheel drive can be connected at a speed of up to 100km / h.

The SUV has a rigid and energy-intensive suspension with the addition of Torsen's rear self-locking differential that increases the passability of the car and not allowing the rear wheels to buck. All integrated brake mechanisms are discs, and the front samples are ventilated.

Picking and price jeep

The standard equipment of the SUV under consideration involves the presence of air conditioner, heating the front seats, pairs of front airbags, central locking, cast drives, audio systems, rails and other things. It is worth noting that the production of the model was completed in 2007, so buying Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin began the beginning of the two thousandths is quite possible now for about 10 thousand dollars.

A small SUV, outwardly resembling Mitsubishi Pajero, had a short history. Pajero Pinin Although he became a trump card in the mission sleeve, however, he won the laurels for a short time. Today specifications Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin will be interested in lovers of a combined ride, because this car combines compactness and power.

Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin.

All the countries of the end of the 90s somehow came across a challenge to conquer the market, and Mitsubishi was also left aside from this problem, although the car stars had already secured in the Alley, but seeking more. By this time, Mitsubishi Motors had in his account not just a huge the lineup Different classes and destination. With confidence, it can be said that these were car legends leading in the market not one decade, and the demand for them did not fade. Such machines were all the well-known PAJERO, LANCER, L-200.

By 1997, it was time to master the mini-crossovers market. Megacities developed rapidly, and to meet new tastes, it was necessary to change. The concept of the future model was determined quickly and easily:

• small dimensions, which is characteristic of Asian countries;
• clearance is higher than the city sedan;
• the layout of the car type, but with the bearing body, and not the frame in order to reduce the weight of the machine;
• four-wheel drive.

There was little time for the design of the design, therefore the fact of interfacing a new model with Pajero became the defining.It turned out a reduced version, better maneuvering in the conditions of the city.

If we managed with the technical part and the general concept of the machine on our own, the design of the design was assigned to PinInfarina - the Japanese autoconecern was not yet strongly caught in this direction. For a fairly short period, Italian specialists managed to create exactly what the Japanese asked. One of the main requirements for designers, so that the appearance of the car is easily recognizable.

In 1998, the serial release of the jeep began.Potential buyers were offered a choice of four types of gasoline power plants: 1.8, 1.8 turbo, 2.0 and GDI (1.8 and 2.0).A year later, a new one who has found success on domestic market, It was represented by Europeans and got a name Pinin.

Pinins gathered at PinInfarina factories, in Italy. For the narrow streets of the old light, the Japanese novelty approached very by the way. A combination of excellent technical characteristics and pretty appearance added to a compact SUV of popularity in the markets of Europe. A small-sized car increased passibility A three-door carrier body was made in Japan, Italy and China from 1998 to 2006, and in Brazil - from 2002 to 2015.

Despite some kind of peculiarity, Pinin outlived itself in the mid-2000s due to the appearance of more modern crossovers. Japanese autocontracena was unprofitable to modernize it, so Pinin came down from conveyors. Today he is sold on secondary markets Many countries, as well as under the names of Montero Io, Shogan Io, Pajero TP4.

Technical filling PAJERO PININ

Motor S. direct injection (GDI) was a new concern - a very small fuel consumption at pretty high power. However, thanks to this engine, Mitsubishi engineers will be criticized for unreliability fuel system.

Separately, it is worth noting technical implementation full drivebut. In many versions, he was akin to classic, Pajerovsky. Connecting the front axle, as well as the "older brother" was performed through the connection of the Viscounts. By analogy, there was a lower transmission and blocking the central differential.

At the request of the buyer, the car could provide the self-locking differential of the rear axle. Limited batches made on sale cars with permanent-wheel drive.

Potential customers were offered two types of gearboxes: five-speed mechanical and four-stage automatic. From August 1998 in dealer centers Mitsubishi began to flow five-door versions with an extended base.

History of development, generation, configuration

Despite the relatively short production period, Pinin was subjected to upgrades. They did not pull the level of restying, but were not unnecessary and meaningless.

Mitsubishi Pinin - 1999-2002

The very first Pinin was in the form of a very compact SUV with a three-door body. Its dimensions: length - 3735 mm, width - 1680 mm, height - 1695 mm, clearance - 200 mm and wheeler base - 2280 mm.

Cars were completed with 4G18 and 4G93 engine. These gasoline DVS With direct fuel injection developed power in 114 and 120 horse power, had a volume of 1.8 liters. Transmission: 5-speed "mechanics" and 4-speed "Automatic" (Invecs-II).

Pajero Pinin BU 2002 release conquering off-road

Pinins of these years have developed a speed of 168 km / h and accelerated to 100 km / h in 11.9 seconds. The suspension was reinforced. Each wheel of the car had a disk brake, the front ventilated.

A year later, the popular 5-door version of Pinin got into the serial release. The engine in the new SUV was slightly upgraded, equipped with an innovative direct injection system at that time - GDI. Transmission and suspension remained the same. But the main difference of steel, of course, body dimensions are:

• length - 4035 mm;
• width - 1695 mm;
• height - 1700 mm;
• clearance - 200 mm;
• wheel base - 2450 mm.

The new body allowed slightly to increase the luggage compartment and niche compartments, while not making the car excessively large.

Pinin 1999-2002 was equipped with a full drive system borrowed from Pajero. Transmission was a system with constantly working rear bridge and a plug-in drive. The driver had a choice between 4 modes.

Mitsubishi Pinin - 2002-2004

In 2002, the Japanese decided to make Pinin's even more urban vehicle like a parquet. Transformations simplified the full drive system. Now it is always a permanent Full-Time 4WD, but only a 1.8-liter engine was equipped with them. This drive did not require the setup, always worked in the distribution mode of the torque on both axes in the 50:50 ratio.

Modification with a 2-liter engine developing 129 liters. With., remained with the Super Select 4WD system. Due to this, it became more popular, since on the off-road such kind of drive showed itself better.

In addition, serious changes did not happen:

• CAT remained the same;
• the suspension is slightly modernized;
• a small restyling appearance was held.

Since 2003, lateral and frontal pillows appeared on IO, significantly improved seat belts.

Mitsubishi Pinin 2005

The last most fundamental changes occurred in 2005. Pinin continued to produce three engines:

• 4G18 - 114 liters. from.;
• 4G93 - 120 liters. from.;
• 4G94 - 129 liters. from.

The first two versions were equipped with a complete drive of the simplified FULL TIME 4WD system, and the 2-liter unit - Super Select 4WD. Significant changes to the transmission were not introduced, other technical characteristics of Mitsubishi. Pajero Pinin also did not change.

But on Pinin of 2005, the appearance was seriously modernized:

• chromed the manufacturer's logos and door handles;
• repainted under the body color side mirrors;
• redesigned rails;
• installed chrome discs from alloy metal.

Salon also turned out to be more thoughtful and convenient.

In general, Mitsubishi Motors managed to create a good compact crossover. Pajero Pinin combined off-road qualities and high level of comfort. Probably, if the Pinin platform was a bit universal, it would be produced to this day.

After all, the dynamics of life - another thirty-back SUV, something was called something, ubrobly grumbling with a huge V8 and smoothly turning his two and a half tons of outfit mass through huge boulders. And then went, went: "Niva", Suzuki Vitara. And their followers promoted the myth about the voraciousness and the robustness of the true knights off-Round. Moreover, each self-respecting manufacturer tried to celebrate in the class of compact SUVs, in one degree or another, supplying its cars to the abilities to mud. Meanwhile, Mitsubishi continued the release of the legendary "wild cat" Pajero and stubbornly did not go to minimization.

At the beginning of the nineties, the market persistently demanded something small. And in 1994, a strange creation with a purely Japanese flavor was revealed to Mitsubishi dealerships. It was called Pajero Mini (wild kitten?). It was really tiny (three with a small meter) A car with two variants of the power unit - a gasoline atmospheric volume of 1100 cm3 and a gasoline turbocharged volume of 600 cm3. New SUV He claimed to compete with Suzuki Samurai and had a frame in arsenal, Easy Select ("Inheritance" PAJERO) and a continuous rear axle. Alas, nor in Europe, nor the more in America this option to minimize the legendary "cat", which is called, did not go. However, at that time it was already clear that the company needs a competitor to the leader of the SUZUKI VITARA class and the Toyota RAV4 Olympus.

Children's name

In 1996, PinInfarina designers and an MMC engineering center fell to the development of a compact SUV in the Pajero Stylistic Decision. A new SUV at least did not have to give way to Suzuki products on the abilities for moving outside of roads, and the competitor from Toyota - in style and comfort. In fact, work on creating this car could be described as follows: all the best of Mitsubishi technical solutions were taken, and this is the best installed in the body from PinInfarina. Such a simple approach to the design allowed very quickly to finish the preparation of the project, and in 1998 the first car appeared in the show figures. The result exceeded the expectation: the stylish body with an integrated frame hid in its depths the GDI motors and the Super SEELECT SS4-I transmission.

In Japan, the car appeared called IO that translated from Italian means "I", and a year later, after preparing production in Italy, the little Pajero came out to the European market. But here he already appeared under the name Pinin. Thus, the consumer "informed" that PinInfarina is involved in the creation of a car (Pinin-Korotka - called the founder of PinInfarina in childhood, Giovanni Farin, who distinguished in a small height). Since then, the car has undergone one restyling and several small improvements and as a result reached this day almost in ... priority form.

All like adults

Dorestayling Pajero Pinin / Io (1999-2000 release years) were designed for all "off-road" canons. Only two features did not allow to attribute Pinin to full-fledged off-road conquerors. First, the SS4-I handout is large for such a compact body. As a result, the beam of its attachment hangs down, destroying quite demolition indicators of the car's geometric passability. Secondly, the transmission modes sensors are located on top, like the "big" pajero, and on the side, which causes concerns for their integrity. But despite the foregoing, on the off-road pinin can compete with any classmate. Did not pumped by I. power units. On Pinin, two GDI motors were installed with a direct injection of 1.8 and 2.0 liters and a capacity of 114 and 129 hp. respectively. Much less often under the hood of the baby you can see 1.6-liter MPI 102 hp (It is less demanding about fuel quality).

Too many levers

The restyling line of Pinin / Io 2002 affected only minor elements. There were slightly renovated bumpers and plastic elements of body kit, "turn signals" in headlight headlamps were fashionable white color, and the headlights themselves have grown slightly in size. The hand hand touched some trifles in the cabin, but it is not very noticeable both at the first and subsequent views. As for official sales, they walked, as they say, nor Shalko nor Valko. The car did not get into mainstream mainly due to a fairly high price. Pinin (most often a three-door version) acquired "in the load" to the big pajero, and he was intended for a spouse. The off-road quality of the lives of the life of life was evaluated to assessment was simply unable, but it had difficulty with an additional lever and a multitude of incomprehensible characters and inscriptions. The decision did not make himself wait, and in 2002 there was an urban version with a highly simplified transmission. FT4 constantly distributed a moment on the bridges in the 50:50 ratio through the Viscuft without the ability to enable or disable anything at all. Neither downward transmission, nor locks, nor lever in the cabin. Of course, this option is the least interesting if you are going to go to nature, but as a gift to your beloved will be born, especially since the cost of "parquet" versions on average by 1-2 thousand dollars below.

There are different versions

From a technical point of view, three-door versions (both with left and right-hand drive) are almost identical. All of them have one gamut of engines and options with automatic and with manual gearbox. The difference is only in the equipment. Japanese right-hand drivers are usually "packaged" significantly richer European fellow. By the way, the majority of IO is equipped with a multifunctional display, with a lot of information, and on expensive equipment, its place occupies useless navigation system in Russia. Salon of three-door versions is not attentive than five days. The difference is mainly in the size of the luggage compartment (three-year it is incredibly small) and the spaces for the feet of the rear passengers. Honestly, a man in 165 cm is placed in the back seat with difficulty, and if the driver completely moves the chair, only the folder for the papers will fit between the back and pillow seat.

Character features

In short, the SUV from Pinin with Super Select really came out not bad if, of course, not to demand from the machine impossible. The car feels perfectly on the rise (energy-relatedness at the height) and very well goes on clay, using the arsenal of locks. Of course, the articulation of the suspension is not always enough to overcome complex obstacles, but the old "Nivovodskaya" tactic helps here - the suspension helps, the suspension allows you to pass quite intricate reliefs. True, it is worth remembering: the moves of the suspension are really small, and a hard breakdown arises on the limit alternate loads, the consequences of which may be expensive. As for the controllability on the asphalt, the pretty acute steering wheel and the excellent energy intensity of the suspension allow you to move at the maximum of the dynamic abilities of the car, not particularly paying attention to the high center of gravity. In general, everything, as in a large pajero - dynamics and controllability in aggregate with off-road qualities give a product by purchasing which, you understand that the money is not allowed to the blue of the instrument panel.

He is pretty jimny

When it came to change the car, I thought about Suzuki Jimny. The desire has already almost formed into the car, but the dealers did not have the desired configuration. Then they began to search for ads and stumbled upon Pinin. Immediately rushed into the eye, that he is prettier than Jimny, and it became a turning point. And even happy rare equipment. The combination of 1.6 MPI engine with a three-door body, hatch and plague washers in Japanese cars is not found. For the time me, I changed some gums there for 700 rubles and for the prevention of the timing belt for 6000 rubles with work. The rest seems to work. I like the presence of any different modes for off-road. I went to dirt only once - the first time in my life simply turned on "4LLC" and everything drove it myself. Even a husband was offended that he did not give him to ride. Yes, more than 90 km / h on the road is already managed well, but in the mud just great. We have a cottage, and before it is 5 km you have to go through a very bad road. There, only me and my dad on Uaz are driving. And in the city, such pleasure is not afraid of borders, look at rebuilding in large mirrors and feel about the car as a serious jeep.

GDI shine and poverty

By the way, about money. As for the features of the service, then on this subject all services, alas, unanimous: elements of the fuel system of GDI engines are not kept by the realities of Russian fuel, and the electrician - the realities of the Russian winter. The problem with the engines is manifested in the classic "not pulling" or "not start." Therefore, looking for a car, it is worth remembering that the maintenance of GDI engines supply the car with decent dynamics, and if the car frankly "does not go" or "tupit", then prepare some amount of repair. Repairs usually consists in a banal replacement of candles and washing the nozzles, but simplicity, with which the names of these operations can be pronounced, does not fit with the complexity and cost of the work itself. For example, candles for motors 1.8 and 2.0 cost about 800-1000 rubles per piece (here and then the prices of the unofficial service are given), and the washing of the nozzles means the disassembly of almost half the engine, which is poured another 5000-6000 rubles. The cost of the nozzle is from 1,200 rubles for the "neoriginal" and further in the increasing. The high pressure pump also easily fails from poor-quality fuel and entails additional costs. Of course, there are no such problems with MPI engines such problems, and the prices for their maintenance and spare parts are significantly lower, but at the same time, the cost of maintaining GDI is a kind of fee for the increased power and elasticity of the power unit.

Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin, referring to the name and appearance to the sign Pajero, at one time offered everything that modern crossovers give us. But, unlike them, he had the deposit of a real SUV. Today you can enjoy the uniqueness of Pinin for relatively little money.

History of the model

Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin's debut in 1998. He was a combination a passenger car with an SUV and was a response to crossovers japanese manufacturers. Pinin had more advantages. First of all, thanks to the brand associated with Rally Paris-Dakar. It is not so much about Mitsubishi here, how much about Pajero, which in the world of off-Round has become the name of the nominal one.

Pinin is a reduction from PinInfarina - a famous Italian studio design, which was entrusted to draw a Japanese car. In the same place, in Italy, in 1994-2004, production for the European market was organized. The SUV was collected in Japan, and later in Brazil.

As statistical data show, Europe has not yet been ready for such a car. Only in the first two years in Japan was produced more than Pajero IO (Japanese name) than for the entire period on the old continent. After a time, the popularity of Pinin at home began to quickly fall, and Mitsubishi refused to create a successor. Today, Pajero Pinin could have a worthy competition Suzuki Jimny.

Interesting fact. Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin was produced in Brazil under the name TR4 until 2014.

Constructive features

Pajero Pinin has a body based on a spatial frame (integrated into the body) - not to be confused with the bearing body. At that time, Pajero had exactly the same scheme. In addition, a small SUV equipped the full drive system, gearbox, blocking and a rigid back bridge. A small ground clearance (only 200 mm) was compensated by short skes. Please note that some versions of Pinin did not have a gearbox.

Unfortunately, in the body a length of 3975 mm (5-door option) it is difficult to accommodate more than 4 people and some luggage. Although in the theory of the car is a 5-seater, in practice, there can be no speech about such a number of passengers - due to a small width. The trunk accommodates only 175 liters, and access to it is carried out through the door opening on the right side. It enshrines a spare wheel.

An even less spacious 3-door version (3730 mm), designed for 4 people. And its 166-liter trunk is just tiny.

But Mitsubishi is simple and practical, easily copes with off-road, clever in the city and in the parking lot. However, at high speeds, it is not controlled as good as RAV4 or CR-V. Engines provide an acceptable dynamics, but they ask for a lot of fuel. Regardless of version, it will have to be considered high fuel consumption - about 8 l / 100 km on the highway and 11-12 liters in the city.

Engines

Mitsubishi offered three engines, which are actually a modification of one unit. They slightly differ slightly capacity and type of fuel system. These are 4G93 and 4G94 motors, famous for such models as Lancer, Carisma, Space Star and Space Wagon. 4G93 has a working volume of 1.8 liters, and 4G94 - 2.0 liters. In addition, the engines have a different piston stroke and a crank-connecting mechanism.

More significant differences relate to the power system. Both motors were equipped with direct fuel injection and received the Additional GDI index. The unit with a capacity of 1.8 liters was completed and distributed injection MPI. Unfortunately, he developed a smaller power - 114 hp (160 nm). GDI version produced 120 hp (174 nm). 2-liter GDI - the most dynamic: 129 hp and 190 nm of torque.

Which engine to choose?

The most preferred is 1.8-liter MPI. It is rather unpretentious and does not require special service. Problems with it are possible only in case of neglecting the timely replacement of the timing belt. But, if you update the belt every 60,000 km, then nothing will happen.

The engine allows you to install gas equipment. In this case, every 15-20 thousand km must control the valve clearances, take care of the technical condition of the ignition system and the gas installation. In practice, sooner or later, you have to change the head of the block, but the game is worth the candle.

Motors of the GDI series deliver more trouble during operation. They make me reckon with pollution inlet systemThat is quite natural for engines with direct fuel injection. Unfortunately, even a small amount of Nagara so that the motor stops working fine. Start swimming idle moveAnd the car twisters with loads. Cleaning the inlet system from Nagara is the cost of consumption.

In addition, poor-quality and dirty fuel displays a high-pressure pump, which is very expensive (from 77,000 rubles). Faults in the injection system cause overflow. GDI motors from a technical point of view allow us to use HBO, but it is not recommended to install it.

The GDI project was failed, as evidenced by the fact that later the Japanese refused such engines in favor of ordinary. Mitsubishi still, despite tough environmental norms, successfully uses a distributed fuel injection.

So is it worth buying Pajero Pinin with a GDI engine?

Quite. First of all, it should be done due to a complete drive system equipped with a gearbox. It has not too low ratiowhich is 1.55. But this is quite enough to effectively overcome off-road. For the distribution of thrust across the axes, a multid-wide coupling is responsible, which can be blocked or disable by selecting 4WD or 2WD mode. Only in the 2.0 GDI machines installed an improved SS4-I (Super Select) system.

1.8 MPI engines are combined with a simpler transmission suitable for highways. The inter-axis differential with the Viscounts continuously distributes the craving between the axes in the 50:50 ratio. There are no locks and a downstream row. That is, efficiency falls as soon as one of the wheels loses contact with the road. The system is ideal for slippery surfaces, but most of the time it is useless, and only forces more fuel to consume.

So what engine choose?

It all depends on your needs and states of the proposed auto. Machines with GDI dominate the market. If you are going to regularly leave in difficult places, then this the best choice. For daily trips on the roads with solid coating, it should be preferred without a gearbox and with a distributed injection (not GDI).

Typical problems and malfunctions

Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin, as a rule, does not cause serious problems, but has several ailments. One of them is corrosion. Fortunately, her scale is small. Rust foci can be found at the bottom of the body: on the thresholds, wheeled arches and the framework of the doors. Highly rusted copies are better to avoid, as it is not easy to find body iron. Corrosion amazes and elements exhaust system. It is necessary to reckon with corrosion and electrical wiring and, as a result, with small failures.

With extreme caution, you should approach the choice of versions with GDI, which may be real traps.

The suspension is very simple and fairly stable. Usually it is necessary to change elastic bands and sleeves. The front lever is subject to recovery, like the four guide rods of the rear axle.

Over time in the steering, the backlash appears, the elimination of which will not require high costs. The brake system is quite reliable, especially from behind, where the drum mechanism is used.

Transmission needs conventional checks for leaks, backlash cardan shafts And connecting the front axle. The clutch has a low resource, which significantly reduces regular off-road leaves. The cost of the new set is from 10,000 rubles.

Operating costs

If you buy Pajero Pinin with MPI engine, then you will have no reason for anxiety. The car will not disappoint, if you are not fundamental off-road opportunities. Such a pinin is quite reliable and inexpensive in operation and repair.

Engines of the GDI series require deeper knowledge. The most expensive and vulnerable element is TNVD, which can be replaced with new or "BEU". In the latter case, it is necessary to be attentive, so the pumps had different numbers and slightly differed in design.

Situation in the market

Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin never enjoyed great popularity. Unfortunately, find a toy car in good condition very hard. Almost every copy has any corrosion problems. It is better to look for those specimens that rarely moved from asphalt.

The price depends not so much from the year of release, as from the technical condition. The most shabby copies are in the area of \u200b\u200b150,000 rubles, and the most well maintained - almost three times more expensive. Preference is better to give younger machines.

Conclusion

Comparatively low cost and small operating costs are strong trumps for a fairly universal model. Payments accounted for high fuel consumption. Pinin is ideal for fishermen, hunters and other lovers spending time in nature. But it is not enough for long-distance travel. At high speeds, due to a short wheelbase and relatively high body, Pinin behaves very uncertain.

At the end of the last century, PinInfarina received an order from Mitsubishi Motors to develop a compact SUV design, the "younger brother" Pajero, and in 1998 it began to be released in Japan under the name IO that in Italian means simply "I". A year later, the car was presented to the old world, where he became called Pinin. The name is taken from the name of PinInfarina. By the way, in Italian, the word pinin is "the youngest, the youngest". Symbolic name for the smallest SUV in the European range of Mitsubishi.

On the Central Pajero Pinin console, there are three rotating microclimate control handles, an audio system with a Cd player and a large display, on which time, intricate temperature, trip-computer readings, and radio information information.

Pinin's rear seat pillow is solid, adjusts only the slope of separate backs. These backs can be folded forward, together or separately, and the pillow is removed at all. With visibility, everything is fine. Thanks to the big outer mirrors and the rear head restraints.

The design of the cabin is made in the spirit of modern trends in automotive mod., high-quality finish materials and well-thought-out ergonomics.

The rigid and energy-intensive suspension contributes to active movement. It does not save pinin and outside of roads, because having a big clearance and a magnificent transmission of Super Select 2 4WD-I, as on Big Pajero, the car is able to storm a fairly serious road off-road.

A four-wheel drive can be connected without stopping and not even slowing down (if the car is not above 100 km / h). The front axle is connected by an automatic coupling. If the car fell into an ambush, the inclusion of reduced transmission with a blocked vescillatte (the most "heavy" mode comes to the rescue.

In all modes, the rear self-locking differential type Torsen is helped - it adds passability and does not give back wheels.
