The fourth-generation Mitsubishi Pajero has been mass-produced since 2006. In 2012, a restyled version of the SUV was introduced. The emergence of a new generation of Mitsubishi Pajero gave birth to a lot of controversy. What is this? Absolutely new model or deep modernization of the previous one? And yet, the Mitsubishi Pajero 4 is the result of the modernization of the third generation SUV. Guesses are confirmed by the external and technical similarity of cars, as well as common "sores" and the same resource of units and systems.
Engines
Under the hood of the fourth Pajero, there are often gasoline aspirated engines with a working volume of 3.0 liters (6G72, 178 hp) and 3.8 liters (6G75, 250 hp), as well as a “diesel” engine with a working volume of 3.2 liters (4D41, 170 HP). On Pajero IVs imported from the Persian Gulf, a 3.8-liter gasoline engine is a rarity, as are 3.5-liter engines (6G74, 202 hp).
The 3-liter petrol unit in the line of engines has the most innocent autobiography. Such an engine is characterized as the simplest, most reliable and hardy. In addition, he easily digests the 92nd gasoline. True, the dynamics of an SUV with such an engine leaves much to be desired, but off-road it is not so important. Petrol 3.5 l, in terms of reliability, also does not have a reputation for being capricious. And the weight of an impressive SUV for its 202 “horses” is still a lot.
The flagship 3.8 liter with the MIVEC variable valve timing system gives the Mitsubishi Pajero decent dynamics. The engine is generally reliable, no surprises. But it was not without one unpleasant moment. In the period from February 1 to May 21, 2008, a software failure occurred on the assembly line of motors of the TR series. As a result, the robot installed crankshaft bearings smaller than the required size. Consequences? Complaints of owners about knocking in the engine and the replacement of the "short block" or the entire engine under warranty. The cost of a short block is about 110 - 120 thousand rubles. More often, the problem manifested itself after 10-20 thousand km, but it could appear later - after 40-70 thousand km. Symptoms of the disease were knocks, which are distinguishable with an increase in speed over 1000-1500 rpm, which are similar to the sound of a secant exhaust. Oddly enough, but with similar symptoms, individual copies of the 2007 release, with a mileage of more than 100 thousand km, also fell on the operating table of the engine engineers. Diagnosis - oil starvation and rotation of the crankshaft liners. It was possible to return the engine to life after replacing the crankshaft and liners.
With a run of more than 80-120 thousand km, the operation of the MIVEC system may be accompanied by excessive noise / rattling, audible with an increase in speed. This is a feature of the system, and noise does not progress with increasing mileage.
Several copies with a 3.8 liter engine fell victim to dampers - they fell into the cylinders due to loose screws. This problem is familiar to third-generation Pajero owners with the same engine. As a preventive measure, when replacing spark plugs with TO 60, put the damper mounting screws on threaded sealant.
Gasoline units have a timing belt drive with a recommended replacement interval of 90 thousand km. A new timing kit will cost 10-12 thousand rubles, and the work to replace it will cost about 8-10 thousand rubles.
With a run of more than 120-150 thousand km, a radiator may leak. The original will cost 20-25 thousand rubles, the analogue is cheaper - 3-5 thousand rubles. Catalysts serve over 150-200 thousand km.
Turbodiesel 4D41 is demanding on the quality of diesel fuel. The first problems may appear after 60-100 thousand km. The reason is the failure of the high-pressure valve in the high-pressure fuel pump or the pipes clogged with soot connecting the sensor on the fuel filter bracket to the intake manifold. At the same time, Check, ASC OFF lights up, traction decreases, and when shifting gears, the box twitches. Nozzles, as a rule, go over 100-150 thousand km. The cost of a new nozzle is about 30 thousand rubles. Around the same time, the EGR valve will require cleaning. Dealers charge about 13 thousand rubles for this procedure. Although you can find a new valve for 8-10 thousand rubles. With a run of more than 120-150 thousand km, the upper damper and chain tensioner are often surrendered. About 15 thousand rubles will have to be paid for the replacement.
Transmission
Pajero IV gearboxes are reliable, and there are no complaints about them. "Automatic" requires an oil change with a filter change every 90 thousand km. Some owners note the appearance of shocks on a warm automatic transmission when switching from 3rd to 4th gear and vice versa - with a run of more than 100-150 thousand km. These symptoms do not develop and there are no malfunctions.
Mitsubishi Pajero's "signature feature" is the backlash of the cardan in the rear gearbox. At the same time, when you release or press the gas, a knock is heard. To eliminate the knock, you will need to replace the rear gearbox and driveshaft, which is very expensive. Yes, and there is no guarantee that after 20-30 thousand km the knock will not appear again. Over time, the rear gear begins to howl. But there is no reason for concern - another feature.
The front gearbox is quite strong, but still several owners managed to “lay” it on a hard “off-road”. Sometimes the front-wheel drive enable sensor fails. Dealers ask for a new one about 2.5-3 thousand rubles. An analogue in a spare parts store is not more expensive than 1-1.5 thousand rubles.
Cracking in the transfer case may occur due to a malfunction of the manual transmission position sensor. The combination of ASC OFF, ESP signals and a flashing "razdatka" is the result of a battery voltage drop.
Owners of brand new Mitsubishi Pajero IV often note vibration during acceleration, which disappears after 10-30 thousand km. This is how the transmission units are run in.
The outer rear CV joint boot is rented out with a run of more than 100-120 thousand km. It is not sold separately and is only assembled with a half shaft, which will cost a lot. A universal CV joint boot, sold at any auto parts store, will help to get out of the situation.
Chassis
The first suspension element to be replaced is the front anti-roll bar bushings. Their service life is 25-40 thousand km. In addition, they are often the source of creaking in the front suspension. The stabilizer struts go a little longer - 50-70 thousand km. The bushings and struts of the rear stabilizer serve more than 120-150 thousand km.
Wheel bearings, like on their predecessor, are handed over after 100-120 thousand km. For the original hub, you will have to pay about 8-10 thousand rubles, for an analogue - about 5-6 thousand rubles.
Pajero IV front shock absorbers run more than 80-100 thousand km, rear shock absorbers - more than 100-120 thousand km. Often, the silent blocks in the front shock absorbers give up earlier than the shock absorber itself. In order not to change the shock absorber, you can get by with repressing the silent block.
Soured adjusting bolts are a common surprise when trying to adjust the camber on cars older than 3-4 years. The surprise originates from the third Pajero. Well, if the bolts are soured at the permissible values of the wheel alignment angles. If not, then for a start you can try to "soak" the soured bolts. It did not help, so you have to cut the bolts. To avoid surprises in the future, it is better to lubricate the adjusting bolts. This procedure at dealers, together with adjustment, will cost 12-14 thousand rubles, on third-party services it is cheaper - about 5-7 thousand rubles.
The steering rack starts to "rattle" after 100-150 thousand km. A new rail costs about 45-50 thousand rubles. Bulkhead rack will require about 15,000 rubles. Most often, the cause of knocking is the backlash of the “glass” pressing the worm shaft against the rail. It is diagnosed by the backlash of the steering rod in the up-down direction. Tightening the rail will help to correct the situation for a short time. Over time, a creak appears in the area of the anther of the steering shaft on the floor. After lubrication of the assembly, the squeak disappears.
The beating of brake discs with a run of more than 20-30 thousand km is a common phenomenon, well known to the owners of Pajero 3. Sometimes it is possible to get rid of the beating after turning the discs. But there is no guarantee that it will not appear again soon. It is better to replace the brake discs with better analogues.
With a run of more than 100-120 thousand km, it will not be superfluous to revise the calipers, which, most likely, are already starting to wedge due to souring of the guides. The repair kit is not expensive - about 900 rubles. Another common disease is ringing parking brake pads. It is treated by installing springs from the parking brake of the previous Pajero.
Due to the chafing of the ABS wiring insulation by the rear left boot of the drive, the ABS, ASC OFF and “slippery road” warning lights may be displayed. With a run of more than 100-120 thousand km, there is a failure of the brake accumulator. A new one costs about 5-6 thousand rubles.
Body and interior
The paintwork of the body of the Mitsubishi Pajero 4 is quite soft and unstable to external influences. Over time, many scratches and chips are found, which, in addition, begin to bloom. More often, the first "spiders" appear on the tailgate and the bar separating the glass of the rear door. Small pockets of corrosion also occur under the door seal on the window frame. This is another legacy of the third Pajero. The caps of the hub nuts and the frame of the spare wheel cover are also susceptible to corrosion.
Many Pajero IV owners note insufficient body rigidity. This is confirmed by the abrasions of the doorways that appear on cars older than 4-6 years. In addition, the doors “slam” on bumps, and dust gets into the cabin through the seals. Installing an additional seal or strengthening the native helps to correct the situation. Another "design feature" is the dangling right taillight. The reason is the development on the "piston" of the lantern attachment.
A huge windshield often attracts stones like a magnet. New, Russian or Chinese, can be purchased for 5-6 thousand rubles. Often in wet weather, the glass of the fog lights burst. With a run of more than 100-130 thousand km, the thrust of the rear headlight corrector sensor often requires replacement due to a soured hinge. The cost of traction is about 1-1.5 thousand rubles.
On Pajero older than 5-6 years old, equipped with a sunroof, there are problems with the drive mechanism. It is only sold as a set with sunroof. Separately, the mechanism can be purchased at a car disassembly - for 7-8 thousand rubles.
With a run of more than 60-90 thousand km, it starts to creak, and after 100-120 thousand km, the front wiper trapezoid fails. The rear windshield wiper does its job extremely poorly. After a slight modernization of the rear leash of the Russian VAZ-2111 and installing it instead of the native one, the rear window becomes cleaner.
The interior trim plastic soon begins to squeak annoyingly. Common places are the panels around the gearshift levers, the trim above the glove compartment lid and the air duct grilles.
The power front seats may not adjust forward or backward due to worn motor brushes. Over time, the front seats begin to creak. The leather trim of the seats quickly loses its “commodity” appearance, and on the side of the driver's seat it is completely torn. Soon, the skin on the steering wheel also “goes bald”.
On Pajero 4 older than 5-6 years, the stalk cable of wires is often frayed. At the same time, the sound signal stops working in the "0" position, and the airbag malfunction lamp lights up. A new loop costs about 3,000 rubles.
Problems with interior cooling can be caused by a radiator clogged with “road dust” or rotten rear air conditioning pipes. Aggressive road environment kills them in 3-6 years. Many, having decided to save money, simply turn off the rear circuit (5-8 thousand rubles). You can restore the rear tubes for 30 thousand rubles. The best option is special hoses that last longer and are cheaper - about 20 thousand rubles.
Electrical is usually not a problem.
Conclusion
Mitsubishi Pajero IV never got rid of the sores of its predecessor, Pajero 3. But at the same time, it did not lose other important qualities - endurance and reliability. Yes, a weak paintwork, a “sour suspension” and a creaky interior with poor sound insulation slightly cloud the overall perception of the brand's flagship. But reliable engines, gearboxes and transmissions can play a decisive role when choosing an SUV. Undoubtedly, the main competitor - Toyota Land Cruiser Prado - is much more comfortable, but it also costs much more. In terms of reliability, cars can compete with each other.
In the autumn of 2006 I saw the world Mitsubishi pajero 4 generations. In appearance and design, it does not differ much from its predecessor -. Pajero 4th generation received a new design of the front end with new optics, a different bumper and grille. The fenders and hood cover were also changed.
The ground clearance of the new Pajero 4 was 235 millimeters, and the trunk volume can vary from 663 to 1789 liters. In addition, the machine is available in a shortened version. also available in the fourth generation of the model.
The interior of the SUV has changed, despite the fact that the front panel has remained the same. The following changes are worth noting:
- New steering wheel;
- Updated control unit;
- Separate wells of the tachometer and speedometer;
Whole design Pajero 4th generation became more modern.
History of Mitsubishi Pajero 4
1st restyling Pajero
Starting from the summer of 2011, an updated version of the Mitsubishi Pajero 4 began to be sold in Russia. After restyling, the SUV came out with a redesigned radiator grille and a different bumper. It should be noted that there are two more color options.
A rear-view camera was added, the image from which was displayed on the screen of the navigation system or on the display in the saloon rear-view mirror. Inside the cabin there was a new trim and updated instrument lighting.
As before, Mitsubishi Pajero 4 is available with the following engine options:
- Volume 3.0 l., power 178 hp, gasoline;
- Volume 3.2 liters, power 200 hp, diesel;
- Volume 3.8 l., Power 250 hp. petrol;
On a diesel engine, the SUV accelerates to 100 km / h in 11.1 seconds. The maximum speed is 185 km / h. 3.8L petrol engine. accelerates to hundreds in 10.8 seconds, and the maximum driving speed is 200 km / h.
As a basic accessory for Pajero 4th generation equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox. All other configurations are sold with an automatic and with exclusively all-wheel drive.
The cost of basic equipment is from $ 30,000. You can buy a 4th generation diesel Pajero at a price of around $ 40,000, depending on the configuration.
2nd restyling Mitsubishi Pajero 4
In 2014, the Japanese SUV was updated in the summer and the model was presented for the Russian market. You can distinguish the restyled Pajero by a modified grille, a new front bumper, the presence of LED running lights and a casing on the steering wheel. The technical equipment and interior of the car remained unchanged. Still, additional wood-like linings appeared in the interior and the Japanese painted the insert on the center console with black lacquer, like on pianos.
At the Moscow Motor Show, the novelty was presented with a new cost - from 30 to 43,500 dollars.

Watch video review Mitsubishi Pajero 4 generations.
Serial production of the first generation Pajero began in 1981, five years after the presentation of the prototype at the Tokyo Motor Show. These cars were three-door, but already in 1983 five-door versions appeared. A year later, the first restyling was carried out, not very significant, but, for example, all long-wheelbase Pajero brakes, even in the most affordable versions, became disc brakes.
Almost immediately, in 1983, Pajero made his debut on sports tracks. The attempt was successful, in 1985 Mitsubishi Pajero became the winner of the Paris-Dakar rally marathon.

Note that even in the first generation Pajero, a fairly wide range of units was presented: nine gasoline and diesel engines, from a two-liter carburetor to a three-liter injector and a 2.3-liter turbodiesel.
The second generation of the model was released in 1991, and in 1997 a rather serious restyling was already carried out. In 1999, the second generation was discontinued, but due to the huge demand, the production of these cars was resumed in 2002 under the Pajero Classic brand, moreover, in two bodies, and three- and five-door. In India, the second Pajero is still produced under the name Pajero SFX, but only in the long-wheelbase version.

Released in 1999, the Pajero III dealt a serious blow to the "jeepers" - admirers of this model. This car no longer had a rear continuous axle, the suspension of all wheels became independent, the frame was integrated into the body, the transmission received electronic control of the center differential, and a fuel-demanding engine with a GDI direct injection system appeared in the engine line. Of course, the car has become more comfortable and easier to drive, but it has lost some of its brutality forever. In 2003, a restyling was carried out, which affected only the details of the exterior.

The fourth generation was born in 2006. The new 6G75 gasoline engine has become available to buyers, but the car that we will watch today is diesel, and the fourth generation Pajero inherited heavy fuel engines from its predecessor. But on these machines, the suspension details have changed significantly (although structurally it has remained practically the same), which significantly affected the intricacies of its maintenance. More on this later, while we look at the engine. Master consultant Dmitry Karaush will tell us about the interesting details of the repair, and we will go to the ROLF Lakhta Mitsubishi service to inspect the Pajero.
Engine
The 4M41 diesel with DI-D direct injection system has already run 144 thousand kilometers with this 2007 car. It would seem that it is time for him to hit the owner's pocket a little. But no, other nodes will hit here, the engine does not betray its fatigue. It is fresh and cheerful, but such results can only be achieved by good supervision of the unit. Well, let's try to learn it.
Like any other engine, especially diesel, this unit loves fresh engine oil. It’s better not to save on it, although you can save on replacing it by doing it yourself - everything is absolutely the same as on any other machine. True, you need a lot of oil - 9.3 liters. But even Mitsubishi branded 5W30 oil costs only about 500 rubles per liter, so it's not too expensive. But the original filter is not cheap - 2,233 rubles.
Mitsubishi Pajero IV

3.2L diesel with DI-D direct injection system
You can, of course, pick up an analogue, the service almost immediately recalled cases when it was a low-quality filter that caused the engine to be overhauled (for which the owner can pay up to 350 thousand rubles) and even replace the engine. A new one costs almost a million, and you will have to pay about 30 thousand for it. So whether to save on the filter - decide for yourself. According to the regulations, an oil change is required every 15 thousand kilometers, but it is better to change every 7.5 thousand - this way the motor will last much longer.
Let's simplify the task a little: replacing the air filter at a service station costs 500 rubles. But they can be saved and put aside for a new oil filter, because changing it is a matter of two minutes. We remove the latches, pull out the old filter and put a new one. All. Yes, and even on the filter itself, you can also “clamp” a certain amount: the original one costs 2,000 rubles, but a normal analogue will cost only 500 rubles.
But you shouldn’t try to change the fuel filter yourself - without experience it’s easy to air the system and then wonder why you can’t start the engine. The service will ask for 2,500 rubles for the work, the original filter costs 2,800. However, if there is no money at all, and the error has already caught fire, you can pour water out of the filter sump, for this you need to unscrew the plug from the bottom of its body. But it is better not to postpone further replacement - this is only a temporary measure. Probably, once every 15 thousand kilometers this operation can be paid for.

There is a chain in the timing drive, the resource of which is not known for certain - cars with a mileage of more than 200 thousand have not been seen in the dealer service, and up to 200 the chain, as a rule, does not stretch. Balance shafts are driven by gears. There are belts in attachment drives. There are only three of them, their replacement will cost 5,000, a replacement kit - 3.5-4 thousand. The resource of belts is 60 thousand kilometers. But there is also good news.
The service does not remember that they had to change nozzles or a fuel pump that would die for no reason (that is, from normal wear and tear). And this is good: one nozzle costs 25 thousand, and high-pressure fuel pump - about 50,000. Of course, if you fill the Pajero with a mixture of mud from a diesel locomotive and water, you will have to change them too, but we do not consider clinical cases.
Glow plugs are not changed here even according to the regulations, and on our car they did not have to be changed in nine years, they almost never fail.
In general, 4M41 diesels have gained a good reputation for themselves and, with timely (albeit not always cheap) maintenance, they live really long.
Transmission and brakes
There is nothing surprising in the fact that an all-wheel drive SUV requires special attention to the transmission. After all, automatic transmission, razdatka, two gearboxes - all this is cool, but everywhere you have to change the oil. And this is at least.
According to the regulations, the replacement of the fluid in the automatic transmission (there is a five-speed Super Select here) is required for the car every 90 thousand kilometers. Of course, in our harsh reality, it is better to change it more often, at least once every 60 thousand. And again - the procedure is not the cheapest. It will take 10 liters of oil (for replacement by displacement), that is, about 25 thousand rubles will have to be paid for it. For the replacement itself - 5 thousand. But no one forbids changing the fluid on their own, unless, of course, there is a lift or an inspection hole. The oil in the gearbox lives a little less, it should be changed every 45 thousand kilometers. Work costs the same - 5 thousand, but oil, of course, is cheaper - 4-5 thousand rubles.
In general, there are no problems with the transmission, but there are two points that require periodic attention.
If you look at the car from below and from the front, then you can see the pipe in the protection slots. It comes from the main radiator and is needed to cool the automatic transmission. Even without shocks and other extraneous influences, with a run of about 50 thousand km, it does not withstand Russian realities and rots. You can’t change it separately - only together with a radiator. And you will have to change, because overheating the automatic transmission and internal combustion engine will be much more expensive.
The second is the electronics connectors on the dispenser. They often end up in the mud, especially among those who like to conquer off-road. They will have to be cleaned periodically, otherwise the automatic transmission may not work adequately, showing an error.
And one more case of a breakdown was remembered by a service station specialist: the car was brought on a tow truck with a completely “dead” automatic transmission. The reason is a torn fitting, through which all the liquid has flowed out. So in the absence of roads it is better to be careful.
Front pads
original / analogue, rub.
If you sometimes have to shell out money for transmission maintenance, then the braking system here is not so greedy. You can save a lot on pads: the original front ones cost 4-4.5 thousand, analogues - from 900 rubles. You can replace it yourself (the procedure is absolutely standard), and put another 2,000 rubles in your pocket. True, it will be necessary to carry out a complete service of the calipers. They can turn sour, it happens, and then you can’t do without repair kits (this is another 1,800 rubles, and if you have to change the pistons, then add 2,500). The choice of non-original pads must be taken responsibly: stock pads are soft, and harder pads can destroy the brake disc very quickly.
Almost all of the above applies in full to the rear brakes, only here the replacement of the pads will cost 500 rubles more.
Chassis
And there are really a lot of subtleties here. Pajero pendants may be good, but they will have to be monitored very carefully. Let's start with the front.
The owner of the fourth Pajero can sometimes hear a faint knock from the front. Most likely, you will have to change the stabilizer bushings. It costs a little - 200 rubles, but there is enough fuss with it, and in the service they will take 2,000 rubles for replacing the bushings on both sides. Thousands of them are enough for 40 km, then we change again, and so on as needed.
Soured breakup bolts will cost much more. They love to rust very, very much, don’t feed them bread, just let them cover themselves with red muck. And then they will have to be cut off, but only according to the regulations, silent blocks are not supposed to be changed - only the entire lever assembly. It costs about 20 thousand, work - 13 thousand rubles (with the subsequent installation of camber angles). Of course, they can be repressed, but not everyone undertakes such work.
Lever assembly cost
including work
30 500 rubles
The same trouble with rusty bolts is in the rear suspension, but on the lateral levers. The situation is a little better with the bolts in the rear levers: they rust with joy, but there are no problems with replacing the bushings separately. True, the manufacturer insists on replacing the entire lever assembly (still, at its price of 18,500 rubles), but the sleeve alone costs only 500 rubles. The work, however, is also not the cheapest - 12 thousand for everything, but clearly cheaper than the assembled levers.
Yes, soured bolts cause a lot of trouble in the Pajero suspension, and sometimes they can cause expensive repairs. Even on our car, it is already impossible to set the collapse, so we will have to deal with repairs. But this could have been avoided: it is enough to unscrew and lubricate all the bolts every two or three years. Yes, there is a lot of trouble with them, but the economic effect of the procedures is obvious. If you are too lazy to mess around under the car, then you can do it in the service (7-8 thousand rubles).
Rear shock absorbers at high mileage can leak. Here, too, it is better to look for an analogue (relatives - 9,000 rubles apiece), replacement will cost 2,500 rubles.
Soul Mitsubishi. The legendary SUV of Japanese assembly, 12-time winner of the Dakar rally-raid and the idol of many generations of connoisseurs of real cars. From 1982 to the present day, the bearer of unchanging traditions of high quality and phenomenal reliability.
Mitsubishi Pajero 4 was created in order to erase all obstacles from your path. Whether on a bumpy rural off-road or on a new paved freeway - everywhere the owner of such a jeep will feel the pleasure of driving quality and enjoy the comfort of the trip.
Technologies
Mitsubishi Pajero 4 is equipped with a powerful engine to easily conquer the harsh Russian off-road. With updated engines, the restyling model has become even more powerful and dynamic. It is also worth noting the reduced noise level from the operation of power units. So, hearing comfort is guaranteed.

Selling Mitsubishi Pajero 2019
In the showroom of the official Mitsubishi Automir dealer in Moscow, the model is presented in three trim levels: S44, S45 and S46 - each of which is equipped with a three-liter V6 engine. They differ in the set of provided options and functional elements, and as a result, in price. A test drive along the streets of the capital will help you choose the appropriate option.
In the salon there is an opportunity to make a direct purchase, buy a car by installments or a loan, and also add the price of your old car to the cost of a new SUV under the Trade In program.
This car is truly legendary - the history of this SUV dates back to 1982, but the fourth generation in question entered the assembly line in 2006 ...
Since then, the "fourth Pajero" has been repeatedly updated - it underwent the first noticeable modernization in 2011.
And in 2014 (at the Moscow International Motor Show) the premiere of the Mitsubishi Pajero "2015 model year" took place - after which it almost immediately entered the showrooms of official Russian dealers of the brand.
Mitsubishi Pajero is a classic brutal SUV that stubbornly refuses to switch to modern design standards. The exterior of the Pajero 4 is quite simple and unpretentious, but at the same time it evokes a feeling of structural reliability and confidence in superiority over other cars due to massive design elements, large rims and high ground clearance.
As part of the restyling of 2014, he received: new rims, a new design of the radiator grille, as well as a front bumper with integrated LED daytime running lights and fog lights of a new form, and at the rear, the designers refreshed the spare wheel cover and ... this is the end of the external transformation of the car.
The length of the "fourth Pajero" is 4900 mm. The wheelbase of the SUV is 2780 mm. The width and height are allotted for 1875 and 1870 mm. Ground clearance, depending on the version, is 225 or 235 mm of ground clearance.
The off-road vehicle is capable of fording up to 700 mm deep, storming slopes with an approach angle of up to 36.6 degrees, and also towing a trailer (equipped with brakes) weighing from 1800 to 3300 kg (depending on the type of engine).
The curb weight of the 4th generation Mitsubishi Pajero ranges from 2110 to 2380 kg, and the total weight is 2810 ~ 3030 kg.
The five-seater (optionally seven-seater) interior of this car echoes the exterior - it is quite simple in design, devoid of bright and pretentious details, stylish inserts ... but at the same time it looks quite presentable and of high quality - due to the high cost of the materials used in the decoration.
In terms of ergonomics, the cabin is very good - excellent visibility and easy access to all controls are provided from the driver's seat. The only negative is the lack of steering adjustment for reach, which is why you have to reach for it.
Another “weak” point of the Pajero cabin is sound insulation, the lack of which almost all fourth-generation car buyers complain about ... As part of the latest modernization, sound insulation was improved - so “one problem became less”.
It remains only to add that the trunk of an SUV is capable of taking on board 663 liters of cargo (in a five-seater configuration) or 1790 liters (with the second row of seats folded down).
Specifications. At various times, the fourth generation Mitsubishi Pajero was offered on the Russian market with three power plant options - two gasoline engines and one diesel:
- The “youngest” is a 6-cylinder V-shaped engine “6G72”, having a working volume of 3.0 liters (2972 cm³), a 24-valve SOHC timing and an ECI-Multi distributed fuel injection system. It is adapted to AI-92 gasoline, is well tolerated by Russian frosts and is capable of developing up to 174 hp. maximum power at 5250 rpm, as well as about 255 Nm of torque in the range from 4000 to 4500 rpm.
The Pajero SUV does not endow this motor with outstanding dynamics: with a 5-speed manual transmission, the starting acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h takes 12.6 seconds, and with a 5-band INVECS-II “automatic” it takes 13.6 seconds. In both cases, the "maximum speed" does not exceed 175 km / h. And his fuel consumption in the combined cycle (for both types of gearboxes) is ~ 12.5 liters per 100 km. - The 6G75 petrol flagship also has 6 V-shaped cylinders, but its working volume is 3.8 liters (3828 cm³), and the equipment includes: 24-valve timing, ECI-Multi distributed fuel injection and the MIVEC variable valve timing system . The maximum output of the flagship is 250 hp. at 6000 rpm, and the peak of its torque falls at around 329 Nm, available already at 2750 rpm. As a fuel, the 6G75 engine prefers AI-95 gasoline, and is aggregated only with a 5-band “automatic”.
This combination allows you to accelerate the SUV from 0 to 100 km / h in just 10.8 seconds or reach a “maximum speed” of 200 km / h. The average consumption of gasoline in the combined cycle is about 13.5 liters. Note that on the 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Pajero, the 6G75 engine had problems with main liners and catalysts, which the manufacturer successfully eliminated in the future. - The only diesel "4M41" has 4 cylinders in-line layout with a total displacement of 3.2 liters (3200 cm³), a 16-valve chain-driven DOHC timing belt, Common Rail Di-D electronic direct injection, as well as a turbocharging system - which allows it to develop up to 200 hp maximum power at 3800 rpm, as well as about 441 Nm of torque already at 2000 rpm. Like the petrol flagship, the diesel engine is paired only with a 5-band "automatic" INVECS-II, which has electronic control (allowing you to adapt to the driver's driving style).
The diesel unit is capable of accelerating the car to 185 km / h of maximum speed, while spending about 11.4 seconds on the starting spurt from 0 to 100 km / h. As for fuel consumption, in the combined cycle, the diesel consumes about 8.9 liters per 100 km. "4M41" is a fairly reliable motor, tangible problems begin to appear only after 100 - 120 thousand km. mileage, when the engine becomes more sensitive to fuel quality and the high pressure valve starts to act up.
Mitsubishi Pajero 4 is built on a reliable off-road platform and in all trim levels is equipped with a Super Select 4WD II permanent all-wheel drive system based on an asymmetric central differential with automatic locking (viscous coupling) or forced mechanical locking (not available in initial trim levels). In addition, the SUV is equipped with a 2-speed transfer case, and in versions with top-end petrol and diesel engines, it additionally receives a lockable rear differential.
The off-road properties of this car have been repeatedly confirmed by the success of the car in various rally races, including 12 titles of the winner of the Dakar Rally. But it is worth remembering that without the included lock on rough terrain, the Pajero does not feel so confident, because the electronics (stabilization system) cope with their duties too “strictly” - not allowing you to step on the gas at the slightest diagonal hanging.
The suspension here is completely independent, spring. The front is built on the basis of double wishbones, and the rear is based on a multi-link system. Ventilated disc brakes are installed on all wheels of the SUV, while reinforced 4-piston calipers are used in front, and parking brake drums are integrated into the rear wheel mechanisms. The rack and pinion steering mechanism is additionally equipped with a hydraulic booster.
The suspension of this SUV is quite “tenacious”, it tolerates Russian roads normally (no worse, but no better than competitors in the class). The weakest point is the bushings of the front and rear stabilizers, which can withstand no more than 50,000 km of run. The situation is much sadder with the brake system - where both pads and brake discs are subject to rapid wear.
Options and prices. The Mitsubishi Pajero SUV in 2017 on the Russian market is available in 3 equipment options: “Intense”, “Instyle” and “Ultimate” (all exclusively with a 3.0-liter V6 petrol and 5-speed “automatic”).
Already in the base, the car is equipped with: 17-inch alloy wheels, halogen optics, rear fog lamp, heated and electrically adjustable side mirrors, ABS, EBD, BAS, BOS, ASTC systems, front airbags, central locking, immobilizer, height-adjustable steering speaker, fabric interior, heated front seats, on-board computer, power windows, audio system with 6 speakers, climate control, cabin filter and full-size spare wheel.
The cost of the 2017 Mitsubishi Pajero starts at 2,799,000 rubles, and for the “top-end” equipment you will have to pay at least 2,999,990 rubles.
