Pajero 1 generation. History Mitsubishi Pajero (Mitsubishi Pajero)

29.10.2020

I did not drink illusions, going to the test pajero after the New Year holidays. Well, another SUV, besides the old one - the fourth generation saw the light of Already in 2007, survived two restyling ... and in general, who will surprise the Pajero - how many on the roads of Moscow!

Must admit that fate ordered so that the last Pajero (he, by the way, and the first), on which I have come to ride, and as a passenger, it happened in my life in the distant 1995. Since then, something has not been brought. But I was mistaken again in my expectations.

Literally an hour before I sat down behind the steering wheel of Pajero, I passed another test vehicle - VW Caravelle: a large eight-month "Bus" with a huge glazing area and high fit. But even after the "bus", plunging into Pajero, I caught only one word in my head - "Aquarium". The high ceiling, huge glass, visually thin door cards, a lot of premature air in the cabin ... Even Caravel did not give such a feeling of space!

Forward to the past!

The interior also called the storm of emotions. Pajero - Time Machine! Torpedo, door cards, buttons, appliances, square knobs of gearboxes and disassembly - all this seems to be straightforward to me from the last decade of the last century, when the cars were real, iron and were made forever, and not as now, when. Simple lines, no fashionable design sizes, all square, harshly and simple. Maybe someone such an archaic will seem unworthy of the machine of the second decade of the XXI century, but to me, a man who grew up just on the design of the 90s, it warms the soul and instills the hope that inside this car everything is also reliable and "for centuries" As it was accepted in those times.

Is that the sensory multimedia panel Mitsubishi Connect looks here completely foreign. Color touchscreen without a single physical button looks like a dyes against the background of harsh buttons and twilight. A two-way tape recorder with a cassette deck is asked here, or a CD player, at worst. By the way, about the "condemn" buttons: I somehow complained that the "oak" seats heating keys in the modern cabin look very oldly. The same buttons (what can you do - unification) in the interior of Pajero look like relatives. Rather, they are relatives for this salon.

Skin seats - Oak Shug. To the touch looks like officer boots. This is in the tradition of Mitsubishi - such a dressing can be found on all brand machines. And if in Outlander it looks deliberately rude, then here is very organic. Before us is a real harsh SUV. In such a skin, it is not scary to tremble with the ass, perepatranny clay - nothing will be with her! In short, Pajero Salon is a direct hello to the nineties. Someone may not like it, but the number of cars on the roads says that conservatism is in width.

Personally, thanks to this simplicity and Starne, I felt at the wheel of Pajero very cozy, as at home in childhood - reliably and protected. There are no extra decisions, no millions of luminous buttons and functions that look beautiful and are expensive, but which you will use once in life, and then from curiosity.

Even climate control here is one-room - no balobiness and tenderness (here even I was surprised - in the top configuration of the car for two and a half million could also make two zones "climate", but apparently it would be not brutal enough). But there is a separate rear heater of the cabin.

The fact that Pajero is a purebred SUV, says the number of interior transformation options. This will not meet on modern "plastmaski". The rear seats can change the tilt of the backs, the backs themselves fold in proportions 40:60, the entire seat can also be folded towards the front row, forming a huge trunk. And if you pull down the head restraints from the front seats and move them forward, then from all the seats you can make a practically smooth surface. And it is easily laid down to sleep two basketball players in two meters. At the same time, it is not even necessary to unload the trunk - at least now on the expedition to the north! This is unclean to meet.

Warm lamp V6.

The technical filling of the Miracle Car Pajero does not retreat from oldcual ideology. In our test car installed "Warm lamp" gasoline V6 of three liters. Completely standard for Pajero formula - the ancestor of this motor was still on the first generation of the SUV. The engine has one camshaft on the head (!), Distributed fuel injection and develops 174 liters. from. at 5 250 rpm. Not the most outstanding indicators, but the SUV mass under two and a half tons is much more important than the thrust, and here it is in sufficiency: 261 nm at 4,000 rpm. Another attribute of simplicity is that the motor eats 92th gasoline.

In practice, from the first seconds of the engine, you understand that under the hood it is not some kind of modern turboosvistulka, but a real "iron", with a resource of many hundred thousand kilometers. By the way, despite the external similarity of layout and volume, the Motor Pajero has nothing to do with the engine that put on Outlander. Interestingly, the fact that, losing in all respective, the PAJERO's subjective engine drags better than the more powerful and the Outlander's more powerful and craft unit. Although probably it is just the magic of the car. Big and iron.

Mitsubishi Pajero IV.
The claimed fuel consumption per 100 km

A large gasoline engine is extremely neat, especially with regard to the mass of the SUV. For a week of test in the city and track mode, the computer showed 13.7 l / 100 km of 92th gasoline. In my opinion, quite a decent indicator. The same Outlander with a three-liter engine and one and a half times smaller consumes about the same. Again, subjectively, but it is a comfortable or uncomfortable feeling that gives not so much the flow number itself, how much compliance with its expectations. And if the "bucket with a little" one hundred in Outlander is indignation, the same figure on Pajero is fully fitted into the zone of comfortable expectation.

Legendary Super Select.

Once Pajero was considered a very progressive car. Independent suspension and integrated Rama body looked innovatively against the background of frame "Cruzaks" and other "deforetors" with springs and bridges. However, "Kruzaki", though, went ahead of the software, and only Pajero seemed to froze in their best years - those already distant.

Real SUVs die as a class. The demand for such cars in the global sense falls. More and more people wondered - why are all these locks and piones, if in everyday life there is enough an in front of the automatic coupling? Real enthusiasts "Part-Time" almost left. But the legendary Pajer transmission Super Select is another reason to go to the salon now.

Perhaps, for complete "off-road" happiness, there is no only blocking of the front differential. The rest: blocking the mid-scene, blocking the rear inter-track (with the automatic shutdown of all electronic "collars"), a decrease in the row - all this is. Perhaps the Arsenal with him can now be compared only yes Land Cruiser. But the price ...

Mitsubishi Pajero IV.

Brief specifications

Engine: V6, 3.0 l., 174 hp Transmission: automatic, 5 steps of dimensions, mm (d / w / c): 4 900/1 875/1 870 Road clearance, mm: 235 Curb weight, kg: 2100

The top pajero will cost approximately the base value. About the "big" Land Cruiser, and even more so "Gelica" and speak not to speak! In short, in fact, in its price segment, he remained almost one. Somewhere slightly lower on the "honest" full-wheel drive, with locks and pionees, picks up in the rings of the market and, but this is a completely different off-road brigade. Even the once terrible Pathfinder rounded, got a variator and hit asphalt and, forgive his Patrol ,. In a word, our pajero remained completely alone.

Instead of farewell

In general, according to its chairs, PAJERO is similar to a large quad bike. No, not the level of comfort, and the sensation of transparency, the clearness of the car in management and ease, with which you find a common language with the car. Some kind of honesty and simplicity.

Mitsubishi Pajero. - The flagship of the model range of Mitsubishi. 12-fold Rally Champion "Dakar", the last six years in a row wins this race on rough terrain. To date, the fourth generation of these cars is produced. For the first time, Pajero was presented in 1976 at the Tokyo Motor Show as a beach car concept car created on the basis of Mitsubishi Jeep, released under a license.

Model Pajero. (Pəhɛroʊ, Pɑxɛroʊ, Paero) (English) was named so in honor of the Pampas Cat ( Leopardus Pajeros.), inhabiting Patagonia Plateau, in South Argentina. (eng.) However, since the word pajero. (Paero) has a slang in Spanish "Onanist", (English) in some foreign markets, another name was made. So, in Spain, India and America (except Brazil) it was replaced by Mitsubishi Montero. (Meaning "Highlander"), and in the UK on Mitsubishi Shogun. ("Sögun"). In Japan, the word Pajero. Pronounce as "Pajero" (Yap. パジェロ). Pronunciation also fixed in Russian "Pajero"From which many different slang nicknies were formed.

1982-1991 first generation (Pajero)

The first generation Mitsubishi Pajero debuted at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 1981, and in May 1982, a short three-door version with gasoline (4G54 - 2.6 L) and diesel (4D55 - 2.3 L) engines arrived on sale. In January 1983, just a year after the start of production, Pajero entered the world of motor racing.

In February 1983, a modification with a long wheelbase and five doors was released with the ability to choose from two different engines: 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline 4G63T (under the brand "2.0 turbo" or "2000 turbo" in some markets), as well as 2, 3-liter turbocharged diesel 4D55T (under the brand "2.3 TD" or "2300 TD"). The five-door modification was produced with a standard, half-willed and high roof. The nine wedral version with a high roof is usually used in the UN operations.

In June 1984, Pajero were improved. Diesel engines with turbochargeds have become even more powerful, models with a long wheelbase obtained disc brakes of all wheels as standard equipment.

In 1985, Paris - Dakar team Mitsubishi ranked first in the marathon class (almost serial cars), after which he moved to a group in (prototypes).

In early 1987, a new flagship model Pajero was presented: with a two-color color, fifteen-chimped, discs, front seats with heaters. Also in 1987, the PAJERO / Montero version began to be sold in the USA as "Dodge Raider".

Mitsubishi Pajero I Owners Reviews

Mitsubishi Pajero I, 1983

If correctly and with love refer to the technique, then the "cart" will become a helicopter. Only after 5 years of operation, Mitsubishi Pajero I was produced by overhaul of the "killed" engine, cooking body, replaced ball supports, front axle anthers and steering tips. Also, the springs are also replaced by "Nivovsky" cropped silent blocks, I note that no one did all this before me, hence the conclusion - for 24 years the car was completely only once, and this is "supernaviation". Mitsubishi Pajero I Although the car is outdated, but it suits me everything. This is my weekend car, so to speak. I love to ride it for fishing.

Dignity : excellent permeability, enviable maintainability, a large resource and the presence of original spare parts, by the way, quite inexpensive.

disadvantages : If it were not for our diesel fuel, then they did not raise the economy of foreign states by purchasing spare parts for our cars.

Roman, Tver

Mitsubishi Pajero I, 1987

About the car: Mitsubishi Pajero І, 1987 G.V., 2.5 TD (Removal turbine), 4 AKP, 350 thousand mileage. Exterior: In general, everything is solid and strictly (minimalism, nothing superfluous). Looks like Mercedes Cube (G-Class). The aerodynamics "lame", which is a whistle in the front racks. In general, on such a "tank", as one of my friend, I was not ashamed and for disassembly to go. For hunting, fishing and active trips to nature - generally super. The reserve on the back door complements the already serious appearance. Interior: Everything is done with Chelyabinsk severity. The instrument panel is "iron". Everything is fastened to tightly, it will not creak, even if you want to scribble. A compass towers in the center, the body rolls meter and the battery charging sensor.

The car is very reliable (if everything is changed in time, smear and check), is made for uncompromising exploitation in off-road conditions. Mitsubishi Pajero I is a real jeep, with a compulsory connection of the front, elevated and lowered distortes. Off-road qualities - at the height. "Diesel" and clearance make it possible not to be afraid of almost any puddle, rods and sand. Somehow I even happened to the UAZ from the sand pull. With the removed turbine, and even with the automatic dynamics, right to say, Nikudushny. And consumption is significantly more. So I advise you still not to remove the turbine, pouring good oil and not jamming the car immediately after the stop (giving the turbine to the blades cool - will live longer). Cruising speed on the track - 100.

Dignity : Tank, cheap in service.

disadvantages : Low comfort and dynamics.

Alexey, St. Petersburg

Mitsubishi Pajero I, 1986

Excellent urban jeep. I have a "3-door". High landing Mitsubishi Pajero I provides a good review. A small and economical "diesel" 10-12 l / 100km in the city, powerful - 103 hp A dynamic jeep will satisfy many lovers of "street racing". Not a big size (in comparison with the American giants) allows you to always find the gap in urban traffic jams and not to spend your time, jeep - you can call on the border. Mitsubishi Pajero I showed himself in off-road conditions - the razdatka has four positions and in the most extreme conditions will block all possible differentials and takes you out of the dirt on a reduced transmission. The automatic box - provides comfort and suitable for novice motorists. Comfortable - a spacious salon, four people feel great at long journeys, as well as air conditioning, CD-radio, full electric car adjustable in the height of the seat. Big trunk door - you can shove the refrigerator.

Dignity : Economical SUV. Comfortable and safe.

disadvantages : not found.

Since 1982, all Mitsubishi Pajero was installed with a working volume of 2.3 liters. and with a capacity of 84 hp There was also a variant of a 2.6 liter gasoline engine and a capacity of 103 hp In the same year a new version of 95 hp was added. In addition to the main versions of the engines, 2-liter engines were installed on the SUV, which were capable of giving power to 110 hp, and in mode - up to 145 hp

Since 1987, catalytic neutralizers installed on Mitsubishi Pajero with gasoline engines, and in 1989 there was a 92-strong version of turboodiesel with an intercooler, as well as a 3-liter injection engine V6 with a capacity of 111 hp. From this point on, the ecology issue of PAJERO engines stopped disturbing buyers from Europe. The only serious problem is the voyage of the gasoline version remained, because its consumption was about 20 liters per 100 kilometers in a mixed cycle.

In some countries, Pajero began to be sold as or. The first generation did not buy well, because too, chopped body forms and a too simple design of the full drive contributed to the weak success of the car on the world market.

New Pajero 1991.

All failures blocked Pajero, which was released in 1991. It has produced the body and increased the quality of the transmission. The second generation of this SUV quickly gained popularity worldwide. The most interesting thing is that the front side member frame, an independent suspension with all its properties, remained unchanged. The only thing that has changed has been replaced by springs. Despite the fact that the stuffing has not changed, thanks to the new appearance, the car Bila sales records.

Excellent dynamics, excellent permeability, carefully thought-out design and good performance indicators made it possible to become one of the expensive elite SUVs.

Pajero 1991 was gained its popularity due to an extraordinary appearance, which was different from the canons of rolling-based SUVs of that time. Most users celebrate comfort and mitsubishi running characteristics. Others are confident in the success of advanced transmission.

The model began to establish a new Full Drive transmission (four-wheel drive). Her work mode can be changed on the go. Thanks to this, the driver can choose the transmission mode, which is most suitable for its case and manage it using the instrument panel. Under the order, the car can be provided with interlocking differentials.

Pajero was produced from the 3rd and 5-door body. A wheelbase for 30 centimeters was expanded with five doors and it was mostly called Wagon (wagon). Its production was launched in 5 and 7-seater options. The version in three doors in the production was with a cluster folding roof and a large hatch over the front seats.

Since 1994, the company has become equipped with a car with new engines - gasoline 3.0 V6 and diesel 1.8 TD.

Pajero Restyling 1997.

After 3 years, in 1997 the company made restyling, retaining the main stylist. On sale on the European continent, the car began to be sold since 1998. PAJERO has become more voluminous, because it was modified by inflated barrel-shaped wings. Despite this, the models with narrow wheels and wings in the previous modification continued to be released and this Mitsubishi Pajero Classic was called.

Starting from the fall of 1997, an engine 3.5 V6 GDI engine began to install on Pajero.

The trunk is staminated by carpet and even with a folded seat, it is small. This shortcoming is not in five-door versions of 4565x1695x1850 mm. Also in the cabin such a car can easily accommodate up to 5 passengers with growth of 189 centimeters. In addition, there was another version in production: a 7-seater extended SEMI High Roof Wagon model with a size of 4820 x 1775 x 1850 millimeters.

The instrument panel is rounded, now it is delivered from the corners. All devices differ well, and the backlight in the cabin is made taking into account the wishes of motorists. It is noteworthy that even a pedal node is lit in the cabin.

Mitsubishi Pajero - an increased passability car. It was first introduced to Tokyo in 1981. The first generation for ten years of its existence was practically not subjected to any changes.

The angular design of the body, the straight faces of body panels, underlined by powerful bumper and durable bottom protection, emphasize the exceptional off-road quality of the car, not affected by the effect of time. Along with a three-door all-metal closed body (4015x1680x1870 mm), we also produced a version with a soft folding riding, but it did not use much popularity by virtue of its utility. Later, very running on the market long-base (2695 mm against 2350 mm) five-door universals and pickup (4605x1680x1955 mm).

The interior according to modern standards is quite simple. Steering column with a changeable angle of inclination. Body insulation is quite effective. Review back is satisfactory, only due to the huge exterior mirrors of the rear view. Two independent air conditioners on the five-door version create the desired microclimate.

The trunk of the short-passage pajero, lined with carpeted floors, is rather small. But if the back seat is folded and moving forward, then through the rear door open, the back door can be put in the trunk even a two-chamber refrigerator or a large TV. The space in the cabin is enough for comfortable landing of people with growth to 195 cm.

Front pendant pendant torsion independent, rear heat dependent.

Since 1982, the 84-force turbodiesel of 2.3 liters, as well as a 2,6-liter gasoline power unit with a capacity of 103 hp, mounted on all Mitsubishi Pajero. In October of the same year, a new 95-strong turbodiesel joined them with a better torque characteristic. In addition to these engines, 2.0-liter power units were installed for exports to Europe on PAJERO, which in the carburetor version developed 110 hp. and in injection-turbocharged - up to 145 hp

From January 1987, only gasoline versions from January 1987 were equipped with catalytic neutralized versions, and with the launch of the 92-strong turbodiesel with an intercooler and 3-liter 111-strong turbodiesel engines V6, the ecology issues of PAJERO engines have stopped disturbing buyers in Europe at all. However, the voyage of the gasoline version (up to 20 l / 100 km) remained a serious problem.

In some export markets, Pajero was sold under the names of Montero and Shogun. The first generation was not in great demand. Unpainted chopped shapes and too simple design of full Pajero drive a little contributed to the success of the model in the global market.

The following generation, appeared in January 1991 with a modernized body and a new transmission, was played for the failure of the progenitor. The second generation was enthusiasticized all over the world. The main constructive solutions remained at the same time: a powerful spiner frame, anterior independent suspension on transverse levers and longitudinal torsions, the rear remained dependent, but received springs instead of archaic springs.

Thoughtful and successful design, excellent dynamics, good handling and excellent passability allowed Mitsubishi Pajero boldly join the elite of expensive SUVs.

Many are the popularity of the 1991 model year's PAJERO on an extraordinary appearance, different from the generally accepted canons of off-road design. Others celebrate comfort and running characteristics of Mitsubishi. Third confident that success in advanced transmission.

On the car began to install a new all-wheel drive transmission of Full Drive, the modes of operation of which (from the drive only on the rear axle with the automatic shutdown of the front axle gearboxes to the full drive mode with the inter-axis differential lock and the inclusion of the downward transmission) can be changed by the only lever directly on the go. As a result, the driver can easily choose (and monitor thanks to the indication on the instrument panel) that transmissions operating mode, which is better consistent with a specific road situation.

By order, Pajero can also be equipped with the blocking of inter-wheeled differentials.

Pajero was released from the 3rd and 5-door body, the latter had an increased 30 cm base and was usually indicated as WAGON. It was manufactured in a 5-seater and 7-seater options. The three-door version also produced with a cluster folding roof over the rear seat and a large hatch over the front.

Since 1994, it is equipped with new engines - diesel 1.8 TD and gasoline 3.0-v6.

Only in 1997, the company decided to restyling, however, carefully retaining the main stylistic idea. In Europe, such cars began to be sold since 1998. Pajero received "bloated" barrel-shaped wings. Options with narrow wheels and former wings continued to inlets called Pajero Classic.

From the autumn of 1997, an engine 3.5 V6 GDI began to install on Pajero.

The trunk lined with carpeted trunk (3985x1695x1800 mm) Pajero, unfortunately, even with a folded rear seat is still small. This disadvantage, however, is not inherent in spacious five-door universal with an increased in the height of the roof (4565x1695x1850 mm). In the cabin can conveniently accommodate up to five passengers with growth of 189 cm. And there is also a 7-seater ruined Semi High Roof Wagon model (4820x1775x1850 mm).

The shape of the instrument panel is rounded, and now there are no angles on it (both on the predecessor). All devices are informative and well distinguishable, plus, well-thought-out illumination of the entire cabin and (even the pedal node is lit).

Complete set by an altimeter, a beeterometer and a thermometer showing the temperature overboard, preserved. These useful (in the desert and mountains) devices are located on top of the console and are covered with a separate visor. All elements of heating and ventilation adjustment are very convenient. Steering column adjustable. The seats are quite comfortable, and the backs have lumbar adjustment.

All power windows are electrical, solar hatch is also made with an electric drive. Heating the back of the cabin is carried out by an autonomous heater, the work of which can adjust the passengers themselves. Steering is quite informative. The clarity of the clutch and gear lever is simply exemplary. The full drive system works immaculately. Mitsubishi Pajero moves straight straight. Brakes with ABS are very effective and, despite the "soft" pedal, very accurate.

Under the hood there may be a 150-strong 3.0-liter V6 (from April 1995) and a 3.5-liter 24-valve V6 with a capacity of 208 hp (From April 1994), which in urban conditions is one of the most economical among itself. Dostoeee praise with its efficiency of 125-strong 2.8-liter turbodiesel (13.5 l / 100 km in the city). Injector 2,4-liter 111-strong engine can seem weak, and for a 3.0-liter 24-valve engine with a capacity of 177 hp (Since 1997), the reputation was fixed not very reliable.

The dynamic data of PAJERO is impressive with a flexible traction characteristic of turbo diesel engines and V-shaped injector "six", as well as successfully selected gear ratios of transmission.

In the autumn of 1999, the third generation of PAJERO cars appeared (the sale in Europe began in 2000). For its previous 18 years of life, the model has won a good reputation, thanks to the excellent chassis on roads with any coating and excellent comfort.

The third generation of Pajero is significantly different from its predecessors. Ramaning bodies became more rigid, new spring front (on transverse levers) and the rear (on longitudinal and transverse levers) are applied. Independent suspension.

The five-door modification of Pajero III generation compared to the predecessor was 100 mm wider, 70 mm is longer than 45 mm below. This version can comfortably accommodate seven people. The short 3-door version has a wheel base of 2545 mm and a capacity of 5 people. The salon is equipped with a folding third nearby seats.

PAJERO III engines respectively have different characteristics, even carburetor versions are found. In recent years, the third generation has been equipped with the following gasoline engines with injection: 2.4 liters (145 hp), 3.0 l (177 hp), 3.5 liters (194, 208 and 280 hp .), as well as 3.5-liter (245 hp) with direct gasoline injection. Diesel engines 2.5-liter (85 and 99 hp) and 2.8-liter (125 hp) had turbocharging.

This generation is equipped with a powerful turbodiesel 3.2 DI-D with direct fuel injection, 3,5-V6 GDI gasoline engine, SUPER-SS4-II all-wheel drive transmission with a planetary inter-axis differential, a five-speed adaptive transmission of Invecs-II Sports Mode, independent front and rear spring suspensions, as well as a bearing body with a high-strength integrated frame.

PAJERO has a memorable body design and a rather attractive interior. The car is comfortable and convenient, the driver's seat is designed ergonomically. Often among the instruments there are compass, altimeter and kozov roll pointers.

The level of configuration Mitsubishi Pajero III is traditionally high and, except for the required four front front and side airbags, includes a leather outcome of the cabin, an automatic climatic system, stereo equipment with a CD changer, etc.

In 2004, the ravesting Mitsubishi Pajero of the Third Generation entered the struggle for the hearts and wallets of buyers. In technical terms, the updated version does not differ from its predecessor. Changes touched only its appearance and interior.

Thanks to the round fog lamp and a new bumper form, the modernized Pajero turned out to be more tightened and aristocratic. The changes affected the radiator grille: its wide chrome-plated edging and the red and neat "edging" with a chrome-plated icon changed its wide chromed edge. Wheel disks of an updated SUV - 6-, and not 5-spoke, like the predecessor.

Harmoniously combined with the body and new steps with backlight, facilitating landing / disembarking in the dark. The side linings on the doors are no longer ribbed, but smooth, and turn repeaters are snow-white (instead of orange). "Feed" machines acquired new lamps and white turn signals, mounted in the bumper. And the bumper itself remains without a wide chromed insert.

Pajero has balanced driving qualities, excellent visibility, due to the high landing of the driver and the advanced multi-mode transmission Super Select 4WD-II, which provides high permeability and coursework stability. The car is equipped with a 4-channel ABS integrated with an EBD brake power distribution system, which in the aggregate provides high active safety.

The PAJERO body created by Mitsubishi Rise technology will provide reliable protection for the driver and all passengers when hit. The front and rear zones of the programmed deformation dispel the energy of the impact, and a very rigid carrying body with a powerful integrated frame and bars of safety in the doors form a power frame of security that protects people in the cabin in any situations. The security system is supplemented with 3-point security belts with pretensioners, front and side inflatable airbags for the driver and front passenger.

In 2006, the PAJERO of the fourth generation was represented as part of the Paris Motor Show. The family features are not going anywhere: the characteristic step on the lower edge of the headlights (this was still at the very first pajero), almost vertical roof racks, the rise of the window line in the back, the shape of the doorways, which opens the right back door. The body actually remained the same. Length, width and height changed slightly - at the expense of new external panels. Only a quarter of the details went to the fourth generation into the inheritance, everything else is yours.

Changes in the carrier body structure can be countdown on the fingers: an additional transverse power element under the rear seat, another bending of the amplifier under the front panel, the increased number of welding points on the engine shield and spars, offset to the center and down the mounting of the spare wheel. Yes, still aluminum hood. The new body has become more rigid torsion, as a result, improved handling on asphalt.

The salon was significantly recycled. The interior has become more modern and fashionable. New dashboard. A large color display appeared in the center of the new console. At the same time, the mutual arrangement of the controls did not change. Finishing materials have become better. Soft plastic in a circle. Branca - multifunctional. The steering column is adjusted only on the angle of inclination. The seats of the first and second rows are comfortable. The driver's seat in the electric drive version is equipped with five adjustments, including the stiffness of the lumbar backpage. Rear visibility improved noticeably improved: the spare wheel was lowered by 50 mm. The trunk with folded seats of the third row is just huge.

Basic equipment for the Russian market includes: climate control, CD receivers, alloy wheels, xenon headlights, rear air conditioner with manual and cruise control. For the most expensive from Russian versions (Ultimate), a prestigious Rockford Fosgate audio system is provided, a rear view camera and navigation system.

A replacement engine GDI V6 3.5 L (202 liters s.) The new gasoline V6 is 3.8 l (250 l.) C was the electronic control system of the MIVEC gas distribution phase and the inlet reservoir of the variable length. This motor is combined only with the adaptive five-speed automatic transmission of Invecs-II Sports Mode. Overclocking Pajero to hundreds for 10.8 seconds.

A diesel version is also present in the line of power units. The engine volume of 3.2 liters got a new generation COMMON Rail battery injection system and develops 165 hp. Moreover, for Russia, turbo diesel engines are shipped in a special adapted execution for a cold climate and with exhaust satisfying EURO 3 standards (for Europe and other countries - Euro 4). For turbodiesel, a manual transmission is also provided, and the five-speed automatic.

The front and rear suspension remained from the past generation, but they were slightly reconfigured to add a stream smooth car. Pendant Independent Spring: Front with double transverse levers, and a rear of multi-dimensional.

The system of full drive controlled by electronics will help the driver to choose the most comfortable nature of driving.

Mitsubishi Pajero - Car History

The roots of the genealogy family of Mitsubishi Pajero go to 1973. Then at the Tokyo Auto Show was presented a prototype of the company's future headliner, built on the basis of the Mitsubishi Jeep army multipurpose car. According to the original design of the designers, Pajero should have become the so-called "beach SUV" - a light all-terrain vehicle with a soft roof, on the manner of the legendary Jeep CJ. However, market trends intervened in developer plans. And in three years in Tokyo, the second concept of the Pajero model was presented, which was different from the previous sample not only increased dimensions, but also a more powerful engine. The basic platform of the novelty was also borrowed from the American car of Chrysler Corporation, with which Mitsubishi Motors tied close partnerships. True, now the Paddero's ancestor was not armed Jeep, but a civilian pickup dodge. In general, this car was highly appreciated by leading industry experts. But, nevertheless, it took another four years on the conveyance of Mitsubishi Pajero to the conveyor sample level.

SUV Mitsubishi Pajero - the first generation

The first generation of Mitsubishi Pajero lasted on the market for 10 years - from 1981 to 1991. In October 1981, a serial sample of an SUV debuted at the Tokyo Salon. So long-awaited Mitsubishi Pajero appeared before the public in two horseship - with the traditional body of Metal Top and with a lightweight version of Canvas Top with a removable soft roof. Both models of Mitsubishi Pajero were offered in a 3-door version. In May 1982, the SUV Mitsubishi Pajeropo is an equivalent price $ 18379 appeared in the salons of the Japanese retail dealer network Car Plaza. And from January 1983, Pajero goes to the global market.

In the export version, the Padcero equipment was seriously different from the "home" option. The main feature was that two Pajero came to the western market - on the standard and elongated basic platforms. Moreover, the dimensions of Mitsubishi Pajero different modifications were varied in length by as much as 655 mm. And the parameters of the wheelbase are 345 mm, in favor of the 5-door model. Of course, the cost of Mitsubishi Pajero was also differentiated. On average, for the right of possession of the "long-channel" needed to pay $ 3,700 more expensive. It is also noteworthy that the five-door modification of Mitsubishi Pajero could be ordered in three versions: with a standard, middle or high roof.

In the summer of 1984, the Mitsubishi SUV SUV was modernized. The changes affected mainly the technical equipment of the car. Updated Mitsubishi Pajero acquired powerful turbo diesel engines, received disc brakes and stiffened shock absorbers for all four wheels. Moreover, the latter entered the list of standard equipment of the SUV of any modification.

In 1985, a significant event was happened in the history of Mitsubishi cars in the history of Mitsubishi Paddero. Mitsubishi team became the winner in the famous Racing Paris Dakar. At these competitions, the SUV was presented in the T2 category, in which only serial cars are collected. The pilot on the rally was Patrick Zaniroli, and the navigator Jean de Silva.

In 1987, the Japanese SUV was made Faislifting. The result of the transfer is beneficial on sales of the car. The number of Pajero sold overcame the psychological frontier of 100,000 copies per year. External changes were expressed in a new bumper, a refined radiator lattice, 15-inch cast discs and to choose a two-color color. The interior of Mitsubishi Pajero in a high-level configuration was enriched at the expense of a leather cabin and a stylish three-fed steering wheel from Momo, and the front seats with leather head restraints, wool covers and heating, as well as a regular radio tape recorder (radio + cassette) were available for more democratic versions. In the same year, the PAJERO SUV enters the US market under the name Dodge Raider.

After restyling, the motor gamma Mitsubishi Pajero was finally formed. It includes:

4G63 - four-cylinder atmospheric engine with a volume of 2.0 liters and a capacity of 80 hp. (for the Asian market);

4G54 - Turbated gasoline 105-strong 2.6 liter engine;

6G72 - 3.0-liter gasoline Motor V6 with a capacity of 141 drugs;

4D55TTD - 85-strong turbodiesel with a 2.3 liter working volume;

4D56TD is a diesel engine with a turbocharger with a capacity of 95 horsepower and a volume of 2.5 liters.

The last time of the first generation of Mitsubishi Pajero's first generation has changed at the end of 1990. The limited series produced at once four luxury modifications of the SUV:

Mitsubishi Pajero Elite is a seven-party car with a hatch on a roof, leather interior and walnut inserts (torpedo and internal door panels). These cars were painted with special paint - gray and blue metallic;

Mitsubishi Pajero Togo - three-door "short" in the CANVAS TOP body. From conventional versions, this series was distinguished by a leather interior with inserts made of mahogany, 17-inch cast discs and wide wheeled arches. The cost of Mitsubishi Pajero in this performance in the American market reached $ 35,679;

Mitsubishi Pajero EXE is a five-door and a five-seater SUV with a lounge, upholstered blue skin and with a central locking lock system.

Mitsubishi Pajero Osaka is a special premium version for the Japanese market. Three-door SUV with a metal body, a central lock and leather interior.

At the end of 1991, the first generation SUV was removed from the conveyor and was replaced by the next generation. The license for the release of the first model was sold to the Korean corporation Hyundai. Under the name Hyundai Galloper, this SUV was produced up to 2003.

SUV MITSUBISHI PAJERO - a description of the second generation

The next generation Mitsubishi Pajero debuted at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 1991. The fundamental differences between this SUV and its predecessor were expressed in the following technical solutions.

The outdated full drive system was replaced by the Super Select 4WD transmission. This system allows the driver on the go (at speeds up to 100km / hour) switch the transmission modes to the position:

Four-wheel drive with a blocked mid-sieve differential;

Normal four-wheel drive;

Rear drive.

In other words, the driver of the second generation Mitsubishi car can independently choose a torque distribution scheme depending on those or other road conditions. If you need to mobilize all the offroad drives of this machine, you should stop and enable reduced transmission mode.

The second generation Mitsubishi Pajero equipped with Super Select 4WD transmissions has changed the suspension system. Now the first torsion system was installed in front, and the rear is spring on double levers located crosswise.

The 3-door Mitsubishi Pajero in the configuration with the body of Canvas Top appeared an electric drive control of the soft roof. If necessary, the driver could easily turn his SUV from the station wagon to the convertible by clicking on the same button on the control panel.

In the second generation of Mitsubishi Pajero in the RalliArt configuration, it was possible to adjust the stiffness of shock absorbers and the magnitude of the clearance. These operations can also be performed without leaving the cabin.

The budget version of the SUV was offered with the first generation of 4G54 engines (gasoline) and 4D56 (diesel), PART-TIME transmission and spring rear suspension. Of course, the level of comfort of this version of Pajero and the cost of the car was more modest.

In the period from 1993 to 1996, inclusive, the modernization of the Paddeo SUV continued. The line of engine engines includes two new engines - a gasoline engine of type MIVEC 6G74 (3.5 liters, 210 hp) and turbodiesel with an intercooler 4m40 (2.8 liters, 125 hp). In addition, the 3-liter gasoline engine 6G72 was finalized, which was inherited by the second generation of Pajero inherited from the previous model. By increasing the number of valves, this motor increased the power to 155 hp. The ABS system and the central lock began to be installed on all the basic models. And as an option was offered a sliding hatch with an electric drive (previously unavailable for 3-door cars) and immobilizer.

Restyling second-generation cars was held in 1997. Outwardly, an SUV got it:

New chrome-plated radiator grille;

Xenon headlights of head optics;

New front bumper with built-in fog lights;

Climate control;

Lithuania alloy 17-inch discs (standard equipment).

The car's full drive system was improved due to the differential of elevated friction, and the position of the popular 6G74 DOHC motor in the line of power aggregates was taken by the 6G74SOHC gasoline.

As part of the generation restyling, in 1998, a sports version of the SUV - Pajero Evolution was put on the market. This car was equipped with a 3.5 liter 288-strong MIVEC gasoline engine, enhanced suspension and premium cabin. This modification of Mitsubishi Pajero at a price of $ 37799 was on sale after the Triumphal victory of the Mitsubishi team in Rally Dakar. Then the crews on these SUVs occupied at once three steps of the podium in their glory. In total, SUVs Pajero won in this legendary rally 11 times.

In 1996 and 1998, two events occurred, forever changed the development of the brand Pajero. In October 1996, the premiere of the middle-size SUV Mitsubishi Pajero Sport took place, and in June 1998 there was a serial release of the compact version of the car - Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin. The diversification of the brand was conceived to translate the full-size Pajero of the upcoming, third generation to the premium segment. From this point on, three relative models begin to develop in parallel. Compact Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin was produced for 10 years (until 2007) and became famous not only as a civil model, but also as a car for the army and the police. PAJERO and PAJERO SPORT models are still the flagships of the Mitsubishi automotive branch.

In 1999, generations change occurs. Nevertheless, the production of these machines was continued in the Philippines and in China (under the Liebao Leopard Stardard). The popularity of the second generation SUV in Europe forced the company to resume their release in 2002. In the European market, the reborn cars were sold as Mitsubishi Pajero Classic. Today, these machines under the name Pajero SFX are serially produced for the Asian market at the Hindustan Motors Plant (India).

Mitsubishi Pajero Third Generation

The appearance of the third generation of Pajero caused an ambiguous reaction among industry professionals and from away-trip lovers. The main differences in the autobille of III generation from its glorified ancestor look like this:

Full-size body with an integrated frame from high-strength materials (rigidity torsion increased by 300%). Cars with the body of Canvas Top in the third generation Pajero did not enter;

The center of gravity has become below 50 mm, and the road clearance (clearance) was increased by 30 mm;

The fuel tank is located between the axes;

Fully changed the suspension scheme is an independent spring for all 4 wheels;

Rush steering with a hydraulicer;

SUPER SEELECT II SYSTEM system with inter-axis differential equipped with electronically controlled;

Three options for choosing the gearbox: 5-speed manual transmission, 4-range automatic transmission and robotic box Invecs II Tittronic;

In 7-seater versions of the SUV, the third row of seats is fully consisted in a special niche in the floor;

Reverse camera (parking sensor) and navigation device.

In 2003, he was restored generation. External changes were behaved according to the traditional scheme - a new radiator grille, edited head optics, a new front bumper with round fiction instead of rectangular, pronounced body kit and a raised feed with other rear lanterns and a bumper.

The interior of the restyling "Troika" is a mixture of European chic and Japanese jewelry assembly. In high grades, the Pajero SUV compiled a serious competition of premium legends - and (series 100). According to the results of 2003, Pajero III was ahead of Land Cruiser in sales by more than 30%.

The choice of engines for a restyled SUV increased due to two new motors - the top 220-strong gasoline internal engine 6G74 GDI (3.5 liters) and 160-strong turbodiel 4M41 (3.2 liters), which especially liked Europeans. Thanks to its muscular forms, Pajero Troika received the nickname "Bulldog" in Europe.

Fourth Generation of SUVs Mitsubishi Pajero

Mitsubishi Pajero IV was demonstrated for the first time at the annual Motor Show in Paris on September 30, 2006. After the premiere, some critics were ironic about the fact that the new generation car is the only good old Pajero III after the next deep restyling. Indeed, both cars are outwardly somewhat similar to each other, but it is not copying, but rather a family similarity.

PAJERO IV silhouette reminds the outlines of the second generation model. It became more touched and strict. But at the same time, elegance inherent in the car premium autobills is present in the car. The Body of the SUV is built according to Rice technology. To reduce the weight of the SUV, some parts of the housing are made of aluminum. The security level of the passenger and the driver is 5 stars according to Euroncap.

Among the means of passive safety should be selected belts with pretensioners for all passengers and driver, as well as pillows with a function of two-stage gas filling. Active security is provided by Active Stability & Traction Control and electronic distribution controller EBD. A help system for emergency brake assist brake and the Brake Override feature is also present, with which the brake pedal priority is provided.

In the Russian market, Mitsubishi Pajero was presented with three possible options of motors:

6G72 - gasoline 3.0-liter motor with a capacity of 178 horsepower;

6G75 MIVEC -BENZIN 3.8 liter 250-housing engine;

4m41 D-D-Di - four-cylinder 200-strong turbodiesel with a 3.2 liter working volume.

In 2012, the fourth-generation mitsubishi pajero was made by the "face lift".

SUV MITSUBISHI PAJERO, the production of which started in 1982, became famous for simple and reliable design: frame, spring rear suspension, rigidly connected front axle, downward transmission. 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 more modern, slightly increased in size, and springs appeared in the rear suspension. 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 on "Pajero", the Super SELECT 4WD handout with four drive modes lowering the transmission and the locking rear and symmetric inter-axis differentials was established. 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. 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. SUPER SELECT 4WD II transmission was modernized - the central differential was asymmetric (33:67), and all actuators acquired servo drives.

In Russia, cars were supplied with a gasoline engine V6 3.5 GDI (202 l. P.) With direct injection of fuel, as well as with a turbodiesel 3.2 DI-D with a capacity of 160-165 liters. from.

New Pajero 1991.

Excellent dynamics, excellent permeability, carefully thought-out design and good performance indicators made it possible to become one of the expensive elite SUVs.

Since 1994, the company has become equipped with a car with new engines - gasoline 3.0 V6 and diesel 1.8 TD.

Pajero Restyling 1997.

Starting from the fall of 1997, an engine 3.5 V6 GDI engine began to install on Pajero.

Sales market: Japan. Right steering

Before this model, the Mitsubishi concern was engaged in a licensed release of SUVs under the Jeep brand on an American license, but in 1976 the concept car Mitsubishi Jeep Pajero was presented at the Tokyo Auto Show, in which a new 4WD concept was embodied, which brought it closer to passenger cars. And in 1982, serial production of the model, which became the flagship of the company's model range. Due to the fact that the model was constantly improved, acquiring increasing luxury, she won great popularity. In 1983, Pajero began to participate in Rally Paris-Dakar and from now on was one of the most popular machines in the world. Demonstrating its superiority over classmate cars, Pajero instantly took off in world car ratings. The name of the car comes from the name of the Wild Cat, which lives in Argentina, or rather, in Patagonia.

The first in 1982 debuted Van modification with a short body. This car was equipped with diesel turbine and atmospheric engines, was produced in versions with a standard, half-live and high roof and had a modification of Canvas Top and Metal Roof. A year later, the Wagon modification appeared on sale (with the body in the size of the F-segment). In addition, the model of the PAJERO ESTATE has been added to the model range, which has a long body. In 1989, "Pajero Super" was launched into the series, which was distinguished from the base version with a seven-bed interior, facing the panel of instruments and doors from a walnut, the colorful body. The most expensive was the modification of "3.0 Super Exceed", having a hatch, cruise control, electric car, double air conditioning, electric seats, leather steering wheel braid and other options that distinguished the top version.

The main power unit for PAJERO is the 4-cylinder 2.5-liter diesel engine 4D56 (SOHC), which is provided depending on the modification (atmospheric version or turbocharging) power in 85 or 94 hp. At the same time, the turbocharged variant is characterized by a higher torque reaching the values \u200b\u200bof 226 nm at 2000 rpm, while atmospheric this parameter is 196 nm. In the top equipment, a 3-liter V-shaped 6-cylinder gasoline engine 6G72 (SOHC) was used, distinguished by the presence of an Eci-Multi injection system and relatively low "revolutions", developing the maximum power of 150 hp At 5000 rpm, but the torque at the same time reached its value 231 nm total at 2500 rpm. Fuel consumption with it is 13.7 liters "on a hundred" in mixed mode. Different versions have different fuel tanks: 60 or 90 liters.

The first generation of the Mitsubishi Pajero SUV had a rather progressive design of the front suspension - torsion independent, thanks to which the Wild Cats had a hawking for the better, for example, by such a parameter, as a geometric permeability, which is very important for the SUV. In addition, the front independent suspension significantly increased both the smoothness of the stroke. The car has a full-wheel drive transmission of the part-time type - the disconnected front axle without the mid-scene differential, so it is not possible to move on a full drive.

For ten years of its existence, Pajero I did not undergo significant changes in terms of systems and safety systems. The regular set included only three-point belts, and even then in later versions of expensive complete sets, and, of course, according to modern standards, the security level of Mitsubishi Pajero is low. In the crash tests, the first generation cars also could not boast of high results, but this is equally concerned with all SUVs of those years.

The first generation Mitsubishi Pajero turned out to be a very successful sample and for some parameters a much overwhelmed competitors of his time. Today, these cars, of course, hopelessly outdated, but due to the presence of a frame, high quality of production and generally high reliability, many copies are successfully operated so far.
