Manufactured since 1982 Japanese sUV PAJERO. Combines the characteristics of this all-terrain vehicle and a calm city crossover. It is considered a legend of his class. Exchange functionality and pleasant appearance have always attracted the sights of motorists to this masterpiece of the automotive industry. The history of the SUV constantly developed, so they will be extremely interesting to consideration specifications Mitsubishi Pajero.
"Pajero" translated means a wild cat with a persistent character and tremendous endurance that lives on the expanses of Patagonia, which is in the southern part of Argentina.However, it is not everywhere this name is used. In the Spaniard countries, the SUV referred to "Montero", in the UK - "Shogan", in the United States - Dodge Raider.
For the first time, Pajero fell into the camera lens in 1973, when it was presented at the exhibition in Tokyo. It was just a concept car having a lot of similarities with Jeep.
Almost 8 years of waiting and testing of two prototypes, convinced Mitsubishi's company to release a full analogue of the SUV. The first generation was presented in 1981, and a substantially refined version has become publicly available for the next year. Therefore, in many sources, the official start of the release of the cult series was marked 1982.
At first, SUVs were produced only with a three-door body, a shortened wheelbase and with two embodiments of the roof (cast metal and folding).
Motor ruler included:
- four-cylinder gasoline engines on 2- and 2.6 liters;
- diesel 2,3-liter unit;
- turbodizel 2,3-liter engine.
These engines have become the basis for PAJERO, and 6G72 was so reliable that it is used to date on modifications intended for the markets of Japan and a number of the countries of the Middle East.
January 1983 is marked by the debut of Pajero in Rally "Paris-Dakar". Initially, the SUV could not fight for the leading places, but after a number of modernization, the first trophy was taken (1985 g). Pajero became so good that she went to conquer the European and US market.
In particular, the following cardinal changes were carried out:
- there is a new version with five doors and a substantially elongated wheelbase - in 1983;
- engines were seriously refined - 1984;
- the wheels of the SUV equipped with disk brakes instead of drum.
In 1987, the body covered with better paint, the front seats were heating, and alloy wheels increased to 15 inches.
Signal events:
- 1983 - released a 9-seater version with a high roof and armored parts of the body (a favorite UN car);
- 1988 - the 4D56T turbodiel unit is released by 2.5 liters;
- 1990 - created legendary petrol aggregate 6G72, 3.0 liters;
In combination with innovative structural solutions (powerful motors, the independence of the front suspension, electric drives) Pajero 1 became a sales hit. He was also warmly accepted on the foreign market.

Second generation 1991-1999
In 1991, Pajero II came out. The emergence of a strong competitor stirred the SUV market. It turned out to be a fundamentally new program of transmission - Super Select 4WD. This system, which controls the allocation of effort between the wheels, opened new horizons.
The concept of an SUV largest was laid in exactly the first generation. Then the car simply improved and adapted to the trends of the wagon. At the peak of the glory of the first generation, he was replaced by the second, which was an excellent marketing move.
The body has increased significantly in size. In addition, Pajero 2 received four different variations of execution:
- hard roof;
- foldable roof;
- divided into sections;
- cast.
Pajero II equipped the third nearby seats adjustable by shock absorbers (and adjustment was made directly from the pilot cabin), the winch under the bumper and the hydraulic lift system for changing the clearance.
After 1991, the stormy development of the SUV was accounted for:
- upgraded engines;
- aBS implemented;
- the choice is provided rear bridge: LCD or with forced blocking;
- modified the second number of chairs.
Also appeared: the central locking system of the doors, immobilizer, electrolyuz.
The motor base was replenished with a 3-liter 12-valve motor with electronic fuel distribution and a 2.5-liter turbodiesel. And in 1993 there were 3.5-liter atmospheric and 2.8-liter turbodiesel - both electronically control.
Restyling second generation fell in 1997. Suddenly in 1999, the issue of Pajero II was discontinued.
The right to produce this model was the Chinese concern Changfeng Motor. Now the road off-road veteran is known as Liebao Leopard, which means "wild cat".

Third generation 1999-2006
In 1999, the III generation comes out. Recycled almost every detail of the SUV. New engines were created:
- gasoline 6G74 GDI with a volume of 3.5 l;
- gasoline 6G75 with a volume of 3.8 l;
- diesel engine 4M41 with a volume of 3.2 liters.
Although the motor base was touched insignificant, the electronic equipment was subjected to innovative shake.
PAJERO III bridges were removed. The frame was integrated into the body, the wheels were equipped with separate drives, and the suspension was made independent. In comparison with previous models, the SUV became much more comfortable and more convenient, and the permeability was improved by refining the SUPER SELECT II transmission.
The appearance of the third generation of Pajero was marked by an essential reflashing of early models:
- improved handling due to the bias of the center of gravity on rear axle;
- increased aerodynamics due to the creation of a new body shape;
- the suspension is enhanced due to the delivered frame.
System full drive Received a new distribution of torque over the axes in the 33/67 ratio (the advantage at the rear axle). If necessary, the electronics could make the distribution equal to between the axes.

The particularly strong structure of the body, equipped with an integrated spatial frame, sets the unprecedented rigidity parameters and determines impeccable performance.
The manufacturer equipped the car with an independent innovation suspension, providing exceptional permeability at the level of comfort for passengers, which is comparable to the comfort provided by the sedans of the premium class. Special reliability and durability of the design give the steel panels resistant to corrosion exposure. Minimize mass vehicle allowed the use of aluminum alloy
Engine
In order to conquer the most difficult and difficult-scale trails, Pajero 4 developers have created a ruler effective engines For optimal power indicators.
All-wheel drive transmission SUPER SELECT 4WD
Legendary cars Mitsubishi Pajero manufacturer equips the unique transmission of Super Select 4WD. It allows you to switch to all-wheel drive mode during the movement process on a slippery coating at a speed reaching 100 km / h. Blocking the inter-axis differential is carried out when driving down off-road, sand, viscous clay in order to build thrust and uniform power distribution to each of the axes. The maximum possibilities for passability, overcoming highly polluted areas and steep slopes are provided by using a double increment of the torque on each of the gears.
Blocking the rear inter-track differential is carried out in a forced procedure by using the "RD LOCK" button located on the front panel. In case of blocking rear Differential Automatic shutdown occurs aBS systems and ASTC.
Rear drive 2h.
This mode is especially ideal when moving within the city or on the high-speed track. In this mode, power is transmitted only on the rear axle, providing a quick and quiet course and low fuel consumption.
Four-wheel drive 4h.
In this mode, the power distribution is carried out per each of the axes, which is characterized by the absence of symmetry (the ratio of 33/67 to 50/50 is achieved). Such a technical solution is the key to the perfect clutch with the track, exceptional comfort and safety in the driving process. The use of a full drive 4H is a competent solution for towing trailers and driving in adverse weather and climatic conditions. The manufacturer does not establish for this restriction mode neither by speed nor the type of coating.
Full Drive Mode with 4HLC Inter-Source Differential Blocking
This mode provides excellent control by uniform power distribution per each of the wheels. It is optimally suitable for driving in roads and is not recommended for trails demonstrating excellent indicators clutch.
All-wheel drive mode with reduction transmission and blocking of the inter-axis and inter-track differentials of 4LLC
This mode, provided in Mitsubishi Pajero, allows you to overcome the most complex obstacles by implementing the transfer of the maximum torque on extremely small turns. The mode is not recommended for the trails with good clutch indicators.
SUV Mitsubishi Pajero., the production of which started in 1982, became famous for a simple and reliable design: frame, spring rear suspension, rigidly connected front axleLowering. Initially, the car was offered with a three-door body with a metal or tarpaulin riding, but in 1984 there was a five-door modification with three rows of seats in the cabin.
The car was installed four-liter gasoline engines with a volume of two liters (including turbocharged) and 2.6 liters, as well as a three-liter V6 engine. Turbodiesel rails had a volume of 2.3 and 2.5 liters, in addition there was a version with a 2.3-liter atmospheric diesel engine. As an option was offered a four-step "automatic" AISIN.
In the countries of North and South America (except Brazil), Spain and India, this model was called because of the intact name of Pajero in Spanish, and for the UK market it was renamed it in Shogun. In 1987-1989, a copy of the SUV was sold in the United States as. And after the release of the first "Pajero" in 1991, the production license was sold to the Korean company Hyundai, which on this base created its SUV.
2nd generation, 1991
The second generation of the SUV was, in fact, the deep upgrade of the previous model. Nevertheless, Mitsubishi Pajero began to look modern, slightly increased in size, and in rear suspension Springs appeared. The car was still offered in three- and five-door performance, and the three-door could be equipped with a tarpaulin removable riding, and the five-door had an option with a high roof. Transmission has changed: now I installed "Pajero" disposal box Super SELECT 4WD with four drive modes lowering transmission and blockable rear and symmetric inter-axis differentials. The list of equipment was turned on the ABS.
Mitsubishi Pajero was equipped with gasoline engines 2.4 (112 liters with.), 2.6 (103 liters.) And V6 3.0 (150, later than 180 forces), as well as a 2.5-liter turbodiesel, developed 100 liters. from. In 1993, a 3.5-liter gasoline "six" with a capacity of 194-204 liters appeared under the hood of the car. s., And in a year - also a 2.8 liter turbodiesel (128 liters with.)
In 1998, a small restyling model was held, the updated cars could be easily recognized on the "bloated" wheeled arches (in expensive versions). At the same time, frontal airbags were included in the standard equipment of some options. In addition to Japan, Mitsubishi Pajero was collected in India and in the Philippines, and these enterprises continued to produce a second generation of the model and after the third "Pajero" appeared in 2000.
3 generation, 1999
The third "Pajero", which began to produce in Japan in 1999, received the body carrying the body instead of the frame and independent spring pendants of all wheels. The SUPER SELECT 4WD II transmission was upgraded - the central differential was asymmetric (33:67), and all executive mechanisms acquired servo drives.
In Russia, cars were supplied with a gasoline engine V6 3.5 GDI (202 l. P.) direct injection Fuel, as well as with turbodiesel 3.2 DI-D with a capacity of 160-165 liters. from. In the "base" at the SUV was mechanical box The gears and the seven-party salon, for the five-speed "automatic" needed to pay extra.
On Mitsubishi Pajero for other countries also installed gasoline engines V6 3.0 (180 liters p.), V6 3.5 GDI (220-245 l. P.) And V6 3.8 with a capacity of 218 or 250 forces. There was also a 2.5-liter turbodiesel, which develops 115 liters. from.
The first Pajero had not yet had time to become the chic holding a certain gangster carism, which was, but it was the first model that has shown the entire world community: how reliable, not killed and passable can be an SUV from Mitsubishi. So already in 1985, just 3 years after the launch of off-road Mitsubishi in the series, Pajero among the Marathon class cars came second to the finish of Dakar. It was a class practically serial cars, imagine how reliable the machine should be not just passing all the incredibly complex Dakar tests, but also make it better most of other cars. After that loud success, Mitsubishi's team moved to the most prestigious class of prototypes, in which Dakar's SUVs were won 12 times.
Today, new Pajero can be seen on the avenues of large cities, restaurants and expensive shops. 
Since the second generation, despite excellent off-road abilities, Pajero moved into the category of luxury, and maybe even image cars whose task is not only in ensuring the highest level of comfort for the driver and passengers, but also in the emission of a certain overwhelming aura on neighbors Transport flow. In general, in the eyes of most drivers, the new Mitsubishi Pajero is really cool.
Money on dear new SUV There are far from everyone, yes 
and some wealthy people prefer not to put out their wealth to the show, but at the same time some of them would like to acquire relatively expensive, but with excellent cargo by car. Of course, you can buy an Niva, or UAZ, but for $ 5,000 it is possible to become the owner of a completely well-groomed Mitsubishi Pajero 1. This time the Internet - the portal will discuss the Pajero model of 1982-1991, pay attention to its technical characteristics and features.
Initially, Pajero 1982 was released in a short-pass, three-door body, which again confirms the off-road direction of this car. Even the name of this car was borrowed from the predatory South American cat - Leopardous Pajeros, and not at some kind of homemade cat, which is not in the master's sofa. The release of the five-year was launched in 1985, while long Pajero was produced with three roof options: conventional, half-high and high. The three-dimmer was also available with a removable soft riding, such modifications were called - Canvas Top. The five-dimmer at a body length of 4,650mm had a wheelbase in 2695mm, it is noteworthy that with a body width of 1,680mm, the height is 1850mm. The first Mitsubishi SUVs were shoved in the tires of the 15th dimension, the 215th width. Of course, the body of this Japanese route is a frame, until a long time for the carrier bodies remained a lot of time. Spare wheel Attached on the rear door - it gives any adventure spirit carried away. 
Since 1987, the front seats began to be equipped with heating, and the Elite version that appeared in the 1990s can be found in the hatch and inserts from walnut. Handle located in front of the front passenger, as well as the device defining the car roll, suggests that you are sitting in the present SUV. Five-door Pajero could be nine waters - such machines were often used by UN missions.
Specifications Mitsubishi Pajero1, 1982 - 1991
4G54 four-cylinder gasoline unit for volume in 2.6l develops only 103l.s, the two-liter "turbocharging" 4G63T is different at 145l.s, but the most expensive and prestigious Mitsubishi Pajero were equipped with atmospheric V6 6G72 by 3.0 l, with a capacity of 141l.s and Traction in 225n.m.
The least powerful diesel 4D55, not equipped with a superpatch and at a volume of 2.3l develops not too impressive 75l.s. The turbocharged modifications of this unit are developing: 84 and 94l. With power, traction in 174Н.м - (just such a torque at the first engine), enough for unhurried ride in the city, but of course 235n.m 94-extended motor pushing the car ahead more .
It is noteworthy that it was Pajero that became the first serial SUV on the front wheels of which ventilated disc brakes were installed. Front suspension at the Japanese jeep - torsion, independent; Rear dependent - spring. Pajero is equipped with either five-speed mechanics or a four-speed machine. Of course, at that time, the status of a full-fledged SUV without a low row of gear and blocking would not be real, and Pajero has it all.
Price Mitsubishi Pajero 1, 1982 - 1988
Buy Mitsubishi Pajero 1 today can be 3,000 $. Such is the price of the car in not better condition. The price of the already made Mitsubishi Pajero 1, dreamed of $ 4,500, to buy a worthy instance, it is desirable to have a sum of 5,000, or even $ 5,500.
According to the standards of even old SUVs, the price of Pajero 1 is not large, it will not be for the purchase of such a all-terrain vehicle to climb and debts, such an amount can be collected and so. Let in the old Pajero there are no steepness and prestige, but he is capable of a lot on off-road, especially if we are talking about three-door modifications.
