The Pajero has the best ride and handling, its off-road ability can put a mountain goat to shame and it’s got a rugged charm about it

There’s something timeless about the Pajero and it has dated rather well, still managing to look rugged in a Clint Eastwood kind of way. Its design is very familiar having been around since 1991. The design is well proportioned and the car has a tough stance. The wheel arches have huge gaps (for massive wheel articulation when off-roading), lots of chrome highlighting and an almost-flat glass area. Two years ago Mitsubishi updated the Pajero with bulging fenders, wider wheels and a garish paint job and called it the SFX but that hasn’t been enough to mask its 1990s shape. It is built on a body-on-ladder design and has a four wheel drive system. It uses double wishbones, torsion bar front suspension and three-link, coil spring at the rear and the centre differential is lockable.
