The 2018 edition of the Mitsubishi Pajero, originally introduced in 2006, was
launched in China last August with body embellishments. Within a year, another
cosmetic update will come out, images released by Sina Auto have revealed.
The 2019 Mitsubishi Pajero will feature a new
radiator grille with three double horizontal slats trimmed in chrome. Like the
last year’s update, the design of the headlamps, front bumper, front fog lamps
and front skid plate will remain the same. The rear fascia, as well as the
interior, may not have any changes.
The 2018 Mitsubishi Pajero did not come with any
differences in the engine output. The 2019 Mitsubishi Pajero will carry over
the old 6G72 3.0-litre MIVEC V6 petrol engine that produces 174 PS at
5,250 rpm and 255 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. The same way, the 5-speed
INVECS-II automatic transmission and the Super Select 4WD II system should
remain standard.
The GAC-Mitsubishi JV company will release the 2019
Mitsubishi Pajero on 1 July, 2018. The upcoming minor refresh for the flagship
Mitsubishi SUV will probably be a China-only exercise. The only long-term
solution to the falling global sales of the Pajero is a new generation model
perhaps through synegies with Nissan.
