The Mitsubishi Pajero (known as the Shogun in the UK) is a classic 4x4 with a reputation built on years of dependable performance. First launched in the early 1980s, the Pajero made its mark as a robust workhorse, excelling where roads end. Across its four generations (1982–2019), the Pajero steadily added comfort, safety and practicality – but never lost the adventurous spirit that made it such a favourite with explorers and families alike. When pitted against rivals like the Toyota Land Cruiser, the Pajero's big selling point is that it offers genuine off-road ability at a more accessible used price point. Spacious interiors, solid build, and towing power are other areas where it still excels in its class today.
