Welcome to our comparison of the Mitsubishi Pajero vs Holden Trailblazer comparison for 2019. Since the Pajero is probably in it’s ‘Final Edition’ we decided to see how it compares to another one of the large SUVs current available. Whether there will be a new generation Pajero is not known. The Holden Trailblazer has been around for a few years (originally called the Colorado 7) and it claims to be an outdoor escape the city vehicle. The Trailblazer is based on the Colorado ute so has commercial based mechanicals which promises appeal in terms of durability. Which is the better one to buy?
Mitsubishi Pajero vs Holden Trailblazer exterior comparison : The Pajero is a nice looking, conservative, traditionally styled SUV with additional but unnecessary chrome trimming. The Pajero is an old design but it has stood the test of time raging gracefully. The Holden Trailblazer deserves an ‘A’ for effort to be something different to look at unfortunately it’s still not a particularly good looking but challenging. The Trailblazer doesn’t look like a new design despite being more that 10 years newer in design.
Mitsubishi Pajero vs Holden Trailblazer interior comparison : The Trailblazer received a much needed interior upgrade last year and it’s a clear improvement over the original, that you can still experience in the Isuzu D-Max twin. The updated interior is much nicer but it wasn’t a complete upgrade and the cheap steering wheel boss and below eye level design betrays it’s origins. Traditional in terms of the T bar design it is decent place to be. In comparison the Pajero interior is arguably nicer, simply put. Sure it not the latest materials or design but subconsciously you realise it is an older model you accept it and mentally it is better than the Trailblazer.
Mitsubishi Pajero vs Holden Trailblazer engines and technology comparison : The Trailblazer’s engine is the most powerful of the Utes and most of the SUVs currently available in the price bracket and it is a selling point. However it doesn’t mean it’s the fastest as the power curves show! However the rest of the Trailblazer package including safety is essentially on par with the Pajero. However there are a few additional features like blind sport warning which is sometimes useful, forward collision warning which is just always on parking sensors and lane departure which pointless in Australia which have poorly marked roads. In comparison to the Pajero still has a decent engine and a more advanced 4WD system with all the traction aids, airbags glore, flashy driver’s area and a nicer sounding stereo stystem.
The conclusion and winner of the Mitsubishi Pajero vs Holden Trailblazer comparison is the Trailblazer. The reason that the Trailblazer wins is due to price. The top of the range Trailblazer Z71 has a ton of features that are handy to have although not essential, like fully electric and leather and heated seats but you get all those things for under $55,000! The Pajero is nice but not worth the extra $10,000. However the Pajero does look nicer and certainly has more street cred than the Trailblazer. Note that there are prices rises in store for later 2019 models which reduces it’s value proposition.
