A popular sport utility vehicle that commenced production in 1982, the Mitsubishi Pajero, a product of Mitsubishi Motors, is well known all over the world. A popular ‘grey import’ that entered the UK market from Japan, the Pajero was initially looked on with a certain amount of scepticism. It took a few enthusiasts to come together and generate popularity for this SUV, which then caught on gradually.
Initially, the Pajero was launched as a three-door vehicle with an option of petrol or a diesel engine. Although features like power steering, suspension seats, front double wishbone suspension etc were also introduced, it did not catch up with the expectations of people, especially in terms of reliability. Till 1991, the vehicle witnessed many alterations and additions to increase its overall efficiency, which bore considerable results.
