P. Exceed

Introducing you the fourth-generation Pajero, "The Pajero Exceed."  This latest Pajero carries itself with confidence. Although the design isn’t dramatically different from the third-gen car, it manages to look more classy and less fussy. In terms of dimensions, the Pajero has about the same footprint as the previous gen Prado (latest version just out this year), but is narrower than the over 2m wide Discovery. Compared to the Pajero Sport, the Pajero is 205 mm longer and 60 mm wider, so we’re looking at one big 4X4 here. 

The Pajero Exceed is a 3,827 cc V6 engine with 247 bhp and 329 Nm of torque available at 2,750 rpm. This SOHC MIVEC unit is paired to an INVECS-II 5-speed automatic transmission, which has an ATF fluid warmer that allows for earlier torque converter lockup after a cold start, reducing friction losses.

On this generation, the Pajero’s built-in ladder frame monocoque body is stiffer thanks to more spot welds, a stiffer cowl top, switching to higher tensile strength steel (from 270 MPa to 440 MPa grade), and the strategic use of structural adhesives. The aluminium engine hood saves 9kg, improving weight distribution and making it easier to lift.  The Super Select 4WD II system is carried forward from the previous model. SS4-II offers four drive modes for various road conditions – 2H mode for normal driving, standard 4H mode for better traction, 4HLc with locked centre differential (equal power to all four wheels) and 4LLc, which is like 4HLc plus low range gears for you to crawl out of extreme situations. The default torque split is 33:67 front rear and the three high range modes can be shifted “on the fly” at speeds up to 100 km/h.

The difference between SS4-II and SS4 is that the newer system works hand-in-hand with Active Stability & Traction Control (ASTC), which has multi-mode ABS, EBD, Engine Brake Assist Control (EBAC), traction control and stability control under one umbrella. The Pajero rides on front double wishbone suspension and rear multi links. Ventilated disc brakes with 4-pot opposing calipers reside in each corner. 

The Pajero’s Rockford Acoustic Design stereo is one of its trump cards. The nicely integrated head unit with steering controls is linked to an 860-watt amplifier and 12 speakers including a big subwoofer at the back. The 5.1 channel system can be adjusted to focus on the front seats, middle row or for everyone.
