Mitsubishi Pajero - Generation 4.1 (2007-2012)

Although there were some improvements done in the exterior and interior, the engine options are still the same. A notable feature is the license plate holder situated at the spare tire cover and a Rockford Acoustic sound system.

Car Profiles - Mitsubishi Pajero

MITSUBISHI PAJERO

The final update for 2015 gave the Pajero some exterior changes like a updated grille and bumper and some interior add ons while retailing at the same price. Too bad, the engines are the same plus looks is be a love/hate affair.

The Good: Can handle off-road situations

The Bad: Getting old, seriously

Price Range: P2,500,000-P2,700,000
