The Mitsubishi Pajero is a large five-door SUV: 4,900 mm long, 1,875 mm wide and 1,870 mm high, with a 2,780 mm wheelbase and 235 mm of ground clearance. That much clearance is typical of cars built for hard use – deep ruts, high kerbs and broken asphalt are no problem for the Pajero.
The boot is big too: 663 litres with the rear seats up and up to 1,790 litres with the second row folded.
Under the bonnet is a 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine (2,972 cc) with 174 hp at 5,250 rpm and 255 Nm at 4,000 rpm. It takes the Pajero from 0 to 100 km/h in 13.6 seconds, with a top speed of 175 km/h. It is not frugal: about 17 litres per 100 km in town, 10.2 litres on the highway and 12.7 litres combined.
The Pajero is an honest 4x4 for your trip around Kyrgyzstan: tough off-road, comfortable on long drives, with a quality interior and well-thought-out ergonomics. You can also rent the Pajero with a rooftop tent for two – see 4x4 with rooftop tent rental.
Approved for use in Kyrgyzstan.
