Wearing a Cross-facia: 2020 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Facelift

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport has been one of the representatives of hard-liner off-road vehicles, and time has come to its mid-cycle refresh. Recently, photos of 2020 Mitsubishi Pajero sports released showed an overall renew on the new car. The profile of the fourth generation is as bulky as Mitsubishi's current Eclipse Cross models. With a new split lamp and Mitsubishi's dynamic shield design, the new SUV delivers a bold concept as a whole. The new car's air intake grille is painted in black, which

Barang Rare: Apa kata anda tentang Mitsubishi Pajero Mini 700cc?

Mitsubishi Pajero adalah sebuah jenama yang terkenal di Malaysia sekitar zaman 90 an dahulu. Model ini terkenal dengan keandalan serta dominasi Kejohanan Rali Dakar pada tahun 2000 ke atas. Mitsubishi Pajero juga telah dinobatkan sebagai Pemenang Podium Paling Banyak oleh Guinness World Record. Selain itu, Mitsubishi Pajero ini juga terkenal digunakan oleh pihak Polis dan Jabatan Kerajaan. Hal ini bukan suatu yang mengejutkan kerana kita sedia maklum bahawa pihak berkuasa memerlukan sebuah keret

Why we shouldn't mourn the death of the Mitsubishi Pajero?

If you’re a fan of Mitsubishi and 4x4s, you are probably saddened by news of Mitsubishi announcing the end of production of the Pajero in 2021. Right now is probably not a good time to be a Mitsubishi fan. The Eclipse name was revived on a crossover and sales of Mitsubishis are dwindling to the point they're exiting European markets while focusing more on ASEAN markets. The Pajero being killed off in favour of Outlanders might be the final nail in the coffin but please bear with me. The Pajero i

Sejarah Mitsubishi Pajero pertama – dari juara rali Dakar Paris ke sebuah SUV keluarga

Dahulu kala, SUV bukanlah sesuatu kehangatan. Malah ia lebih kepada kereta yang serbaguna. Disebabkan itu, Mitsubishi Pajero, Isuzu Trooper, dan Toyota Land Cruiser telah menjadi satu ikon di dalam dunia pacuan empat roda. Diantara ketiga-tiga model ini, hanya Toyota Land Cruiser sahaja yang masih ada sampai sekarang. Isuzu Trooper telah dihentikan beberapa tahun yang lalu, manakala Mitsubishi Pajero baru sahaja dihentikan pada tahun ini. Oleh itu, mari kita belajar sedikit sebanyak mengenai asa

The first Mitsubishi Pajero - from Paris Dakar Rally champ to progenitor of family SUVs

There was a time when SUVs weren’t a big thing and were more of a utilitarian 4x4 than a trending crossover. None matches the bulletproof and macho 4x4 quite like the Mitsubishi Pajero, Isuzu Trooper, and the Toyota Land Cruiser. Out of those three, only the Land Cruiser managed to survive today with the Trooper being trooped out many years ago and the Pajero being discontinued in 2020. We’ve done a sort of eulogy for the Pajero but today, we’re celebrating the very first Pajero and how it came

The long-serving Mitsubishi ASX is no more in Malaysia. The Mitsubishi ASX was Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia’s oldest model on sale and it has no immediate successor.

Better Mitsubishi products for Malaysia as MMC doubles down focus on ASEAN?

As a company, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) have seen better days. Yes, the company still enjoys a strong market presence, especially in 4x4s and it’s still the only brand that’s in a position to challenge the Toyota Hilux's dominance, but it’s safe to say that company have long passed its peak. More than 100 ago, Mitsubishi Motors’ predecessor, the Mitsubishi zaibatsu conglomerate built Japan’s first series production car – the Model A, which was a copy of the Fiat Tipo 3. At its peak, th

Indonesia will limit import of Proton X70 until Malaysia opens up its car market further

Last week, this column discussed the challenges that lie ahead in exporting the Proton X70 to Indonesia. While the Proton X70 was able to race to the top of the sales chart almost as soon as it was launched, it will not enjoy such luxury in Indonesia. As an imported model, the Indonesian government will certainly not grant Proton any tax incentives the way the Malaysian government does. Without a significant price advantage, it’s will have a harder time going up against the Honda CR-V. To win ov

In Brief: Mitsubishi Triton VGT Adventure X – Best handling pickup truck?

The Mitsubishi Triton VGT Adventure X is the only pickup truck with a centre LSD. That’s the mechanical highlight of the Adventure X. With the transfer case set to 4H, it can drive like a full-time 4WD and not just a part-time 4WD (no centre LSD). The Triton has the shortest wheelbase in its class, making it the easiest to manoeuvre among its rivals. The ride comfort is also decent. If judged mechanically, the only reason to get the Adventure X over other variants of the Triton is the centre dif

Proton ended 2019 on a strong note, firmly putting the Proton X70 as the undisputed leader in the C-SUV segment, with over 13,300 units, eclipsing the Honda CR-V’s 12,000 plus units. But does it come as a surprise at all? Thanks to generous tax incentives that nobody else apart from Proton and Perodua enjoys, the rebadged Geely Boyue is nearly RM 50,000 cheaper than a similarly equipped Honda CR-V 1.5 TC-P.
