The next-generation
Pajero is expected to be unveiled in the first quarter of 2012. Mitsubishi had
initially planned to launch this all-new SUV at the Auto Expo in January. However,
the plans had to be rescheduled due to disruptions caused by unexpected floods
in Thailand. Mr. Manoj Jha, Managing Director of Hindustan Motors (HM), which
makes and markets Mitsubishi Motors Corporation’s range of vehicles here
in India, said, “We had decided to launch Pajero as well as new variants from
the HM stable at the Auto Expo 2012 in New Delhi. However, some dislocation of
operations at Mitsubishi Motors’ Thailand facility due to natural calamity and
unexpected events compelled us to alter our plans for participation in the auto
show.”
The new
Pajero is an entirely different SUV from the current Pajero, which has gotten
pretty long in the tooth. For a start, the new model looks a lot more modern
and appealing. The insides are equally impressive too; the car is expected to
be feature-rich with quality bits and pieces all-round. The large cabin with seating
for 7 will offer comfortable as well as flexible configuration that will
allow easy loading of luggage as and when required.
Given the old Pajero’s
off-road heritage, the new model promises to be an enthusiast’s delight when it
comes to mud-plugging or driving over rough terrain.
