A few days ago, overseas media reported that Mitsubishi Motors will restart the Pajero project, and the new car may return to the market as a plug-in hybrid SUV in 2027.
Quick overview of the pros and cons
Merit:
1. Hard-core SUV identity
2. The plug-in hybrid power is more energy-saving
3. Large torque output of motor
Shortcoming:
1. The front face is too personalized
The front face of the new Pajero imaginary picture is contrary to the honest design of the old Pajero, and adopts the latest design language of the Dynamic Shield Mitsubishi family, which is the same as the Pajero · Jinchang and Outlander, and the overall visual impact is very strong, but it is not a good thing that the personalization is too serious, after all, Mitsubishi does not have the ability to adapt to the fans of brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Tesla.
The blackened honeycomb grille is paired with piano lacquer trim that connects the split headlights up and down to create an X-shaped front face. The pillars, mirrors, luggage racks and wheel arches are all treated with gloss black trim, which not only brings a floating roof design, but also adds to the sophistication of the car, but for a hard-core SUV, the sophistication seems to be less appropriate than the ruggedness, and now it looks like Governor Arnold's face has turned into a little fresh meat.
The interior imaginary drawings of the new generation Pajero also have great similarities with the Outlander model, simplifying many mechanical operations, such as switching the mechanical gear lever in the previous drive mode, changing to the drive mode switch knob, and cutting to sand, mud and other modes. However, fortunately, its dual-zone automatic air conditioner still retains mechanical knobs and buttons, which are more convenient to operate.
It is understood that the new generation of Pajero will be built with a new CMF-C/D platform, and in terms of power, the old V6 and V8 naturally aspirated engines will definitely be absent. The new car will use the same 2.4L plug-in hybrid system as the overseas Outlander plug-in hybrid version, driven by a 2.4L engine + front axle motor + rear axle dual motor, and the power of the new car is expected to be higher than that of the Outlander plug-in hybrid, with a maximum power of more than 382 horsepower.
In addition, we also learned that the new generation of Pajero will return as a high-end SUV, benchmarking the Land Rover Defender, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Lexus GX, etc., do you think it can be high-end?
