Mitsubishi Pajero Market Overview in Sri Lanka

Price trend by model year

Average weekly asking price for the most-listed model years

I have had a 2010 3.8L auto Pajero for 16 months now. I was looking for a diesel Prado, mainly for the 150L fuel tank. When I came across the Pajero I was impressed by the interior space. The second row seats are a slightly knees up proposition. The third row seats are removed and the 90L seat well used for storage. I only have one passenger and do not need them. The engine is very smooth. Pulls well making overtaking a breeze. It does not have the low down torque of modern turbo diesels but is good for a petrol engine. It actually produces more torque at 2000rpm than a non turbo 4.2L Landcruiser diesel and a lot quieter doing it. The main down side is the fuel consumption. On the highway it uses 12 to 13L/100km, rising to 16L/100km in the suburbs. Offroad in 4L it is 25L/100km The high consumption is not a huge concern as I only go out once a month on club outings. Yearly kms would be around 5000 km tops. I feel this is balanced against cheaper and less frequent servicing. Buying 92 RON petrol on the cheapest days also helps. I would have liked a locking diff (not standard on petrol Pajeros). The traction control does a good job and I am more than satisfied with off road performance. When I put in an aftermarket locking differential the traction control will still be retained unlike the OEM locking diff. My vehicle has a totally random beeping noise which is annoying but becoming less frequent with time. That is my only real negative with the vehicle. It drives like a big luxury car with plenty of power delivered with the minimum of fuss. If I had to replace the vehicle it would most likely be an Exceed Pajero
