Mitsubishi Pajero Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1999–2005) — Third Generation
The third-generation Mitsubishi Pajero moved to a monocoque body with a built-in ladder frame, offered as a long five-door wagon and a shorter three-door. It kept genuine off-road ability while feeling far more civilised on the road.
Buyers could choose between diesel and petrol character. A 2.5 MT diesel five-door with manual gearbox and all-wheel drive favours torque and economy, while the 3.0 petrol Mitsubishi Pajero engine, in 3.0 AT or 3.0 MT form, revs more smoothly. Every version drives all four wheels through a selectable four-wheel-drive system.

Equipment packages sit on top of the mechanical version rather than replacing it. The 2.5 MT diesel, for instance, was sold in GLX form, a well-rounded specification covering everyday comfort needs. Mitsubishi Pajero trim levels varied by market, so check each car's actual equipment instead of assuming the badge alone.
