What is it? Originally introduced as a rival to the likes of the Toyota Land Cruiser and the Land Rover Defender in 1982, the Mitsubishi Pajero 2020 has always been a likeable, rugged, big 4x4. Which one should I buy? The Mitsubishi Pajero new and used are all about rugged capability, mixed with solid levels of day-to-day refinement and comfort. In fact, that’s a recipe that the Pajero was instrumental in perfecting back in the eighties. Back then, way before Land Rover had ever thought of the Discovery, and when the Land Cruiser and Nissan Patrol were rather more utilitarian, the Pajero brought an enticing combination of on-road good manners and serious mud-plugging capability. That’s a mix it still retains. There’s really only one engine option if you’re talking about the post-2006 cars and that’s a 3.2-litre direct-injection four-cylinder diesel. That can develop as little as 160hp (!) but successive upgrades saw that climb to a much more respectable 190hp, with a useful 440Nm of torque. True, you’d get those sort of figures out of a more modern 2.0-litre engine, but those more contemporary units don’t have the lovely refinement of the Mitsubishi engine, which thrums away gently as you drive, somewhere off in the middle-distance.
Post-2010 models are the best — tweaks to the engine and the automatic gearbox meant that average fuel economy improved (to the heady heights of 30mpg!) and the Pajero’s equipment levels started to steadily increase, eventually including leather, climate control, a sunroof, and parking sensors.
