2007 Mitsubishi Pajero (GEN III.5) [ARCHIVED]

[AG4]

Here’s proof that Mitsubishi is planning to evolutionarily develop their existing Pajero off-roader rather than building a new model from scratch. Taken just outside the legendary German Nürburgring, our exclusive spy-shots show what’s to become of the next-generation Pajero, scheduled for a launch at the 2007 Detroit Motor Show. It’s going to be more than the usual facelift – but won’t be a complete new model either. While the whole front will be revised, modifications at the rear will be limited to new taillights, a mid-mounted spare-wheel on the rear door and a new skirt and bumper. Today’s characteristic rear wheel arch will be toned down to a narrower layout giving the car a more modern overall look.

Though adapted to the EURO 4 emission regulation, all engines will be left unchanged, allowing European buyers to choose between the 3.5-litre V6 GDI petrol engine with 200 bhp and the 3.2-litre 160-bhp turbodiesel. Japanese customers will again get one more motor to choose from – the 3.0-litre turbodiesel with 115 bhp. Buyers in the U.S. will get the choice between two petrol V6s only: the above mentioned 3.5-litre GDI plus a 3.8-litre V6 developing 218 bhp.

[OTEP]

Something like that... but like what they mentioned in the report, its going to be more than the usual facelift.

[neko-chan]

CRDi?

i think it'll be the other way around. 3M Pajero anyone?

[nugundam93]

hehehehee gen3.5.

pero finally, they moved the tire carrier to a less obtrusive location. :D i hope it's face is meaner-looking than the triton.

[kiper]

looks like it lost some weight..

masgwapo na sya ngayon!

bakit parang ang hina ng 3.0-litre turbodiesel =115 bhp only?

Not sure why, bit I guess thats the reason its for the JDM model...
It looks like export market Pajeros will continue with the more powerful 160bhp 3.2-litre turbodiesel.

weird. minimal drop in displacement = large drop in power?

[pixelparadigm]

There's a hint of Chrysler designing.

[mazdamazda]

yung 115hp engine... for JDM lang yun... mukhang detuned 4M41.

[AG4]

Perhaps the 3.0 liter diesel is based on the older OHC 2.8 liter 4M40.

The 3.2 liter diesel is a Direct injection DOHC engine(4M41).

ah yes... mas logical nga na upgraded 4M40 kesa detuned 4M41.

ano kayang tawag dun 4M40.5?

possible engine for the upcoming zinger?

[carlocaraddict]

hmmmm...when will the philippines get the refreshend paj? after a decade? we often get newer models late. PI got the gen3 paj i think sometime 2003 na.

[cardo]

[nestordreamin']

Again, one of the cars which I could have only in my dreams
