Mitsubishi Motors has been at the forefront of developing the world’s most pioneering 4x4 technology for over 70 years. Our first four-wheel drive prototype, the PX-33 evolved in 1936 and since then we have continued to dominate the tough, rugged 4x4 territory by developing and advancing technologies like our renowned and highly reliable Super Select 4WD.

A legend was born
We launched Pajero in 1982 and even today the 4th generation Pajero continues to be the benchmark of 4x4 technology and refinement.

Undisputed king of dakar
Pajero was crowned winner of the Dakar Rally, the world’s toughest, most demanding
cross-country race for an unprecedented 12th time in 2007. Tested to the extreme, the
Pajero not only defeated the competition, it emerged victorious for the sixth year in a row.

But Dakar is more than just a race - its extreme terrain and gruelling conditions have proven to be the ultimate testing ground on which to refine over 70 years of 4WD expertise and develop ground-breaking technology. You may never experience conditions as extreme as those in the Dakar Rally, but you can rest assured, the technology in Pajero has. Year after year after year.
