The fourth and current generation Pajero released in November 2006 received a complete
remodelling both inside and out. Though retaining much of the same running gear from the
previous generation, it was full of safety and technology developments, providing a safer and
more enjoyable drive.
For the first time Pajero got Mitsubishi’s 3.8L MIVEC engine, generating 184 kW, almost 25 per
cent more than the previous unit and Torque was up by six per cent, to 329 Nm at just 2750 rpm.
The new Pajero diesel 3.2L was a common rail intercooled turbo unit, smoother and quieter than
the previous diesel it had maximum power of 125 kW, and 358 Nm of torque at 2000 revs.
Receiving a number of minor facelifts since 2006, the latest model Pajero’s 3.2L common rail
turbo diesel engine is now seeing 147 kw and 441 nm of torque, securing its place in the
Mitsubishi stables as a capable off road vehicle.
