Debuting at the Paris Motor Show, this Pajero is the fourth generation Pajero. The latest Pajero offers reliability forged in the crucible of grueling competition and use under the harshest conditions to be found on the planet. It retains the all-round SUV specifications of its predecessor, as seen in its approach angle, ground clearance and other all-terrain performance parameters. New features that distinguish the fourth-generation Pajero include:

• A new 3.2-litre 4-cylinder diesel with common rail direct fuel injection or a 3.8-litre V6 MIVEC^*1 petrol unit.
• A 4WD system comprised of the sophisticated Super Select 4WD-II transfer case while both ASTC^*2 and the rear differential lock available — developed on the bedrock of MMC's All-Wheel-Control (AWC) concept and delivering significant improvements in both off-road and tarmac performance.
• Tastefully designed dashboard and interior complemented by high-end equipment such as Rockford Acoustic Design Premium Sound System™ with a new 860W 12-speaker.

This latest Pajero is to be produced at Pajero Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in Gifu Prefecture, Japan. MMC plans to start shipments to Europe in September, followed by shipments in Japan and to Australia in October. Eventually the company plans to export the car to some 170 countries and regions in the Near & Middle East, Central and South America, and Asia and ASEAN regions.

Debuting alongside at the Paris Motor Show will be the similarly-styled next generation of Pajero Evolution which will be entered at the 2007 Dakar Rally.
