Why India Loves the Pajero | Gone But Not Forgotten | @evoIndia
Рет қаралды 64,672
11 күн бұрынMitsubishi may not be making a comeback to India, but the legacy it left, particularly with the Pajero, remains cherished. The Mitsubishi Pajero, with its 12 Dakar Rally victories, has become a global icon in the off-roading world. In India, it was a Bollywood favourite long before the Q7 and GLS were even on the drawing board. It still enjoys a cult following, with owners going to great lengths to keep these icons on the road.
In this special episode, we honour the lifecycle of the Mitsubishi Pajero and Montero in India. Ed Sirish Chandran explores the rich history and triumphs of the Pajero in the Dakar Rally, highlighting the features, drivability, and robustness that made it legendary. We take the Pajero GLX, Pajero SFX, and two generations of the Montero (rebadged as Pajero for India) for a spin, reflecting on their legacy and enduring appeal.

As a Pajero SFX owner, i am extremely happy to see this episode. I have been asking for it for some time now. Thank you Evo India. The reason I bought the Pajero was because it has character. The same cannot be said about most of the cars being sold in India now. People still respect the Pajero when they see one on the road. In fact, it has been a conversation starter ever since i bought it. A triumph of solid engineering.

I learned a lot of new stuff I never knew in this video....and I also think with everything being stuck into one big screen and manufacturers trying to cut costs on several aspects, we are slowly loosing that character that cars from pre 2012-2013 has.

Lancers, pajero , outlanders and montero still lives as fond memories of childhood, later down the line all these brands and love for cars made me choose my career in Automotive field, even got lucky enough to try few of their legendary models. This video literally gave me punch on my memory lane, what a brand it was, the one which shaped my career ❤

I've owned my 2002 3.5L NM Gen 3 Pajero (Australian Market) for 6 years now. Absolutely love the car. The seats in the Gen 3 fold flat like in the Gen 4, I personally think the styling inside & out is nicer and the car is just over all amazing. It is a shame Mitsubishi stopped making them all together and replaced them with the Pajero Sport/Challenger. The Gen 3 and 4 are very similar vehicles especially inside, fold down 3rd row seats, fold flat bed, tool kit in the NM, not in the NP I believe, full independent suspension and again just an over all amazing vehicle.

Oh, one more thing about the Pajero SFX... Since I got it and have been driving it, this SUV has never let me down. Maybe it’s good luck for me... Even though it’s a 2009 model, it gives great mileage (despite weighing 2155 kg and having a 2800 engine). I really like my Pajero. Recently, I restored the entire Pajero... repainted it and did some mechanical work... the engine and transmission are smoother than before. Actually, it’s an emotion... it’s not like any SUV that everyone drives these days, like the Thar or Fortuner. Driving it gives a different level of attitude... I drove it continuously for 1500 km, and wherever I stopped, many people tried to learn about it. I don’t like any SUV other than this one... I don’t think there’s any that can match it. A true off-roader with luxury space... it’s my family’s favorite too... But in the last 2 minutes of this video, I really felt like crying... knowing that this car will never come again... ---

My family had owned two Pajeros (Montero) in the UAE, first in 2009 and then in 2016 and used the second one until this year March. Both were sold at around 250,000 KM and 200,000 KM respectively. I always enjoyed the revs of that 3.8L V6 in the 2016 model (pretty sure my dad did too xD) but it’s biggest cons were the wind noise in freeways at 120-140 Kmph speeds (cannot hear first row guys in the second row), having the fuel economy worse than a Land Cruiser (around 5 Kmpl), the plastics like you showed in the AC vents cracking and horrible resale value (2016 model did better in our case). In some instances I do miss the practicality and manoeuvring (in tight parking situations) of the Pajero over the LandCruiser 300. Also the credit card holder served a purpose of holding the Vehicle’s license card for us. :) Edit: Great video as always Sirish. 🫡

Someone in our neighbourhood had a red and white Pajero SFX. Now I should mention it is not a very wealthy neighbourhood, in fact the 1st car after a used Padmini was my dad's Alto STD in 2005. The owner's son, couple years older, used to play with us and sometimes we did get to see the interior of the car and all. Anyways the owner actually got arrested for something related to coal, such people called "coal mafias" or something idk....

Well, Pajero must have helped him get to the coal mines!

I absolutely love the GBNF series. I was today's years old when I knew that Montero actually came to India before the OG Pajero. Also didnt know that GLX and SFX had different track. Why wasnt the Sport included in this? Was it that you guys couldn't get your hands on one or was it because it was a different lineage?

I agree with some points but not with others. I have a 2009 model PAJERO SFX, and believe me, it is a very smooth car. It easily touches 160 km/h, and in the city, it gives a mileage of 7-8 km/l, which goes up to a maximum of 12 km/l on the highway. Initially, in the first two gears, the engine remains noisy, but after that, it becomes quite smooth and vibration-free. This is my car; I don't know about other Pajeros. I bought it second-hand for 2.5 lakhs in 2019, and now my SFX is fully restored. I recently drove nonstop from Mumbai to Lucknow in one day. I didn't feel any fatigue while driving, and I didn't even realize when I crossed 1500 km. I was actually sad that the trip ended so quickly. I love my Pajero SFX.

It is a great mile muncher. what I said was in relation to today's modern SUVs where you can cruise in high triple digit speeds unlike the Pajero
@MenMyMachine 8 күн бұрын
@@sirishch There is no comparison between today’s SUVs and this one... Despite its heavy weight and engine, it still manages to reach 180 km/h... and there is a world of difference between the technology of 2007-2012 and today.

Don’t get me wrong, we people from the colder areas only form a small percentage of customers but we would far more prefer heated seats than the cooled ones. To us cooled seats are of little use. Heck we would love heated steering too. Alas we don’t decide the market😅
