In this segment we have one of the icon vehicles that everyone knows and has loved for so many years, a vehicle that is know all around the world the Mitsubishi Pajero.
In this review you will get an honest review towards the Mitsubishi Pajero GLX and the quality's it has to offer. As you all know the Mitsubishi Pajero is a popular vehicle in its class of 4x4 vehicles as the 3.2 turbo diesel is a work horse that does everything the owner needs it to do from towing a boat to tackling the harsh conditions when 4WD.
This vehicle is truly made to please its owners as it can also be used for a everyday family SUV and yes it still has that similar shape over the years that define it as a Pajero.

Bullet proof car I've been driving it all around mountains and and terrains of Kurdistan with no issues.
Wow that’s actually impressive, I knew it was a good car but it sounds like they are a great car.
All pajero owners love their cars and only think to change it if a new version comes in the market :))
You know what, that is actually true, pajero owners love them so much, and I wish they never discounted this model. they should have kept them going and going. I'm assuming you have one as well?
@@ShiftIntoGear.I’m sure they’ll bring the shape back
@@keaganloubser4189 I hope they do 😃
3rd owner of the 3rd gen. 3.8 (last gen. Mitsubishi Pajero competed in Dakar Rally) named Sumo. Awesome car 🚘
No doubt about that man, it’s a car that just keeps on going.
Our NP Pajero nearly at 400,000 k's. still runs like a dream. 3.2 diesel solid as.
No way 400 000kms, the most kms I have personally seen on a Pajero was around 350 000km and it started at first go. They are truely something else.
@@ShiftIntoGear. Sitting at 396500. Taking it in for some love at my mechanic. New hoses, radiator flush and auto service.
@@buster_1972 that’s the best feeling when you service your car and put in some new parts, and when you leave the mechanic your like yep it’s driving even better lol

Very informative for a prospective buyer, thanks very much.
Thank you for the kind words, and thank you for watching.
Too bad that Gen 4 Pajero was never available here in the U.S.
Beautiful Pajero 👍
Really ? I did not know that, I wonder what the reason is behind that. Usually the U.S gets the better models than Australia lol
@@ShiftIntoGear. Last year they sold the Montero here in the U.S was 2006. They pulled the Montero because of poor sales and the combination of other financial issues Mitsubishi North America was going through at the time. We never saw any other generations of the Montero Sport either after 2005.
@itsaboutfam wow, that's actually interesting. It's a shame that the U.S. would have loved these cars. They are practical but also affordable, and the quality is amazing. But I've noticed the U.S. has a lot of Toyota 4WD models.
@@ShiftIntoGear. The U.S market is kinda weird TBH. They didn't market the Montero for its strength as a off-road capable vehicle and honestly Mitsubishi doesn't have the brand presence like Toyota here in the States.
Funny thing is the Montero popularity has grown a lot since the whole "overlanding" lifestyle has become popular. Their prices have risen for the past couple years but they are also hard to find.
@itsaboutfam very similar thing is happening here, Mitsubishi does well here, but of course, it is more popular. But as soon as they discontinued this model, more people started purchasing them second hand now. It's weird how the market works, lol. Maybe Mitsubishi will start making some in the U.S. again 🤔 we will have to wait and see if that will ever happen, lol.
I use the same tires their much better than the previous Bridgestone in terms of performance specially during cornering
They are the best tires out, the Bridgestone were ok, but these are on the next level. And less road noise as well. I’ve also noticed the wear and tear on them are decent.
I have a Pajero very much the same.
I updated the basic Head unit for a pioneer avh z9200 dab.
Great car 😊
Aw that’s awesome, did you have to change the facia around the unit ? Yep I agree it is a great car 😃
Solid.
I agree with you yunk9. 💯
Great review! How reliable and dependable is this? Especially when it comes to electronics and engine? And there are some petrol variants in the market for about 25% less. Are they good as the diesels? Also, I am intending to use this as a daily driver and a weekender. How good is this as a Daily driver? Thanks
Hi there ,
Thanks for commenting. It means a lot to us. Electronic wises are overall good. Being a Japanese car, it comes with quality items. the only thing that I find is that the original head unit isn't the best and the original speakers. But of course, this being the base model, you don't get the upgraded sounds system as you would in the exceed model. I find the petrol pajeros are a lot more thirsty than the diesel. Being a daily car for myself, I stayed with a diesel variant as the fuel consumption is fantastic, and the power is still decent. You will love this car.
The electric is very basic and well made, probably the same for 15 years....no problem at all in 8 years
@@totome2206I agreed 👍 but I’m still in two worlds about changing the head unit. It does the job for now. 😅
Good vid boys. I take it those services are not through the dealer? How much are you paying for the 60,000km big service? Valve adjustment etc.
Hi there, yep that’s correct the services where done through a trusted mechanic shop, that service to recall was roughly around $700 give or take but it was a while back now trying to remember that far is a little hard lol 😂 appreciate the comment tho. I’m assuming you have a Pajero as well ?
@@ShiftIntoGear. that’s cheap. I’ve got a Pajero Sport but finding it to small so thinking of changing to a proper Pajero 😂
Couple more questions if you don’t mind mate. How do you find the transmission? It gets a bit of flack for being lazy. Slow to change down and rushes to get to top gear from a standstill etc etc. and how is it for cabin noises? My pet hate is rattles
I’ve got a 2010, best car I’ve ever owned and I’ve had a few. I’m never changing this.
I have an exceed that doesn’t have any tacky chrome on it. Mine has lots of bush scars tho.
The feeling is mutual, lol. I'm the same with the chrome if there is too much of it, I don't mind the model that I have is the perfect amount of chrome. And it seems like you have really enjoyed your pajero, so the bush scars are memories 😀 thanks for commenting and watching. We appreciate it.
hey mate my pajero has the exact same head unit think maybe fit aftermarket though its a 2010 NT active. noticed you said it has apple carplay but has to be plugged in by the cord? where abouts is the cord located? or plugged in? TIA
Hey Blake,
Thanks for reaching out, so the 2010 models didn’t actually come with apple car play and android auto, but in saying that maybe it is an aftermarket head unit, or perhaps they have installed a genuine unit from a later model and integrated it, sometimes that works as well. But in saying that,usually the connection to the head unit is usually located in the glove box or even the centre console. Let me know how you go Blake.
What’s your knowledge on the 2010 Pajero glx 3.2 turbo diesel 5 speed manual with 260 thousand ks. How are they after all this time and how reliable are the engines
What a beautiful vehicle, to be honest I’d get a professional mechanic to check it out, or a nrma report done on it, anything that age group and that many kms needs a thorough check. But if it’s tidy with a good log book history, there usually good vehicles, but hey I’m not a professional lol 😂 I’d get a mechanic to check it before purchase 😃 let us know how you go.
Could you please tell me, what kind manual gearbox oil and oil separator should be used for Mitsubishi Pajero v93 manual handwaves in 2009? Thx
Hi pmam,
Hmm, good question, I would preferably go to Penrite Pro Gear Oil - 75W-85, 2.5 Litre, but of course I'm not a mechanic lol so I always recommend two things. First, call your local spare parts and give them your vehicle details, and they will make sure to give you the correct oil or even ask your local mechanic and ask him, which oil he recommends for your vehicle. Let me know how you go.
@@ShiftIntoGear. OK. Thx. I will call again
@@pmam1278 All good, let me know how you go 😃.
@@ShiftIntoGear. they just tell me Gl4
Tomorrow I will call again..I really want to know ,,what oil is better to pajero...because is my first own this car and I feel too much good ,I want make better and best things to pajero and make it well and good ,,that's way I ask many UA-camr to tell me what I need to use,,so I want your help to made my pajero going better.....thx
Mate, I am about to buy a 2015 Pajero with 150.000km 4.2 diesel. What advice can you give me what to check before buying it and is 150k a lot? Which parts are about to be replaced on 150k.
Cheers
Hey champ,
Good question, I’d first have a look at the body for a 2015 with 150 000km it should be in a pretty decent shape, I’d check for any cabin noises while driving , usually it will be the wheel bearing, they intend to be wore out at times around that time. Check the speakers if they’re crackling or making a popping sound, they usually go around that time as well. But rather than that, it should be a sweet ride, aw and maybe ask them about the DPF filter.
Let us know how you go champ.
Tienes problemas con DPF o FAP? subidas de nivel aceite...o esos problemas están solucionados?
Hey there,
I’ve never had any issues in regard to what you have mentioned, I regularly service the car and make sure that I don’t miss a beat. Overall they’re pretty good cars.
...and... tu crees que entra en diagonal una road bike en el maletero plegando el 40% del asiento trasero. Muchas gracias.
@@javiermoreno3806 Honestly that’s a good question, I think it just might work, we are of course talking about a bicycle?
@@ShiftIntoGear. eeeeh.....uuupsss...es verdad....yo te pregunte anteriormente acerca de este tema..🙏
@@javiermoreno3806 all good 👍
What is the fuel range for this “powerful engine”?)
Hey Alexander, you’re looking around roughly 700 give or take on a full tank, they’re actually really good on fuel. Thinking of getting one ?
you dont press twice. you press 3 times within 30 seconds. it does even state in the manual
Hey Edmunek,
Yep, that's correct, but I usually press lock or unlock First, wait a second, then press down on the remote two more times to fold the mirros in and out, which is in the 30 seconds time frame. Thanks for the comment. Have a great day 😀.
En el maletero entra una bici montada plegando el 40% del asiento?
To be honest, I have never actually tried, I would probably just place it on the rear with a bike rack/mount.
@@ShiftIntoGear. gracias...pero la prefiero dentro por comodidad. Puedo dejarla siempre dentro y así entrenar justo después del trabajo y al llegar a casa no necesitaría bajarla, sólo dejándola dentro y tenerla para el entreno del día siguiente. Esa es la idea. Por eso pregunto porque prefiero un 4x4 a una 🚐 furgoneta.
Gracias
@@javiermoreno3806 Oh I see now, that actually makes sense and it’s a lot easier as well. Good thinking 🤔. Yea vans are good but not ideal, well let me know if you get a mount bike in a Pajero, all the best and enjoy the bike rides 😃.
The cameraman talks too much,
He does doesn't he!
Something that is subjective is based on personal opinions and feelings rather than on facts...like a bunch of girls
Appreciate you taking the time to leave us a comment mate 👍.
