Other safety features also include:
- anti-theft alarm

Price Range
The 2013 to 2018 models range from 11,200,000 LKR to 24,000,000 LKR.
Mitsubishi Pajero
The Mitsubishi Pajero is a full-sized sport utility vehicle. In fact, the Pajero holds Guinness World Records for Dark Rally winnings. Most significantly, any other model has not been able to beat them to date. However, Mitsubishi has seen a decline in the sale numbers of the Pajero. Therefore, they have decided to discontinue the manufacture of the model Pajero in August 2019. Moreover, the Final Edition will be available in a limited number of 700 units only.
The Pajero is a nice, solid vehicle. True, it lacks a bit of safety tech, and is not on the high end of the spectacular spectrum. In spite of that, it surely is a sturdy and reliable tourer. This vehicle is capable of tackling trips, large or small, tough or cruisy.
Mechanical Specifications
The engine that powers this model is a 3.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine. It produces 147kW of power and 441Nm of torque. In addition, it is coupled with a five-speed automatic gearbox which you can manually shift on the fly. According to Mitsubishi, it consumes 9L/100km on the combined cycle.
The Pajero primarily functions as a rear-wheel drive vehicle. However, one can transition it to a four-wheel drive high-range mode at the push of a lever. Activation of this, in fact, leaves the differential open. As a result, you can drive the car on all surfaces. This is a unique as well as cool feature that the Pajero offers you. In fact, many other vehicles in this segment do not do that. They who do not operate as full-time four-wheel drives will lock the center differential on four-wheel drive activation.
Exterior
The design of the model cuts a sleek line in traffic with LED daytime-running lights. In addition, the chrome horizontal grille holds the Mitsubishi badge. This, in fact, adds more color to the overall appearance. The traditional shape takes a boxy look. In the meantime, the swinging rear door offers a cavernous interior that comfortably seats seven passengers.
Interior
The interior does not appeal to the eyes of the ones who expect a more modern feel. The cabin features a raft of cheaper materials and a more traditional layout.
Modern Infotainment System
On the other hand, the aftermarket looking seven-inch infotainment system is easy to use. However, it looks a bit odd when placed with the rest of the vehicle. The reason is, it has the modern look with updated features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In addition, it comes with voice activation. However, it limits satellite navigation to the smartphone. This is beneficial in that the map updates are absent. On the other side, you will always need mobile reception to operate navigation. All in all, although it feels out of tune, although it feels out of tune, it brings an older car into the modern day and age. Oh, but, this is a gentle reminder that there is no volume knob.
Seating
Comfy seats and masses of room allows for excellent leg and headroom up front. Getting in and out of the vehicle requires a bit of work due to the height. However, from the inside, it offers a commanding view over traffic and the road ahead. Moreover, the second row is equally as impressive, too. It gives both adults and kids enough room to stretch their legs. Adding to the comfortable drive are the roof-mounted air vents. They also come with individual controls for second-row passengers.
However, the case is different with the third row. Getting in and out or standing there, is not the easiest thing to do. The seats fold flat into the floor. However, it takes time and a great deal of effort to get the third row up. Anyways, once everything is in place, there’s enough space for kids. Or adults, at the cost of a bit of squeeze. In addition, to compromise all those minor difficulties, third-row passengers get their own roof-mounted air vents. They also get storage cubbies that sit atop the wheel arches.
Price Range
Around 15,750,000 LKR.
