I put this page up so that you can compare the 150 series Toyota  Landcruiser LC5 Prado to the Mitsubishi Pajero otherwise known as the Mitsubishi Shogun or Montero.

Mitsubishi have really done a great update job on the 2010 Pajero in the areas of pricing and equipment so we had to revisit. We don't usually look at equipment packages because (and you will discover it too) the levels vary on a regular basis. There always seems to be specials of some sort very often!

The current Pajero is based on the Dakar Rally inspired version released back in 1999. Naturally it has had numerous body upgrades over the years to match its competitors namely the Prado.

Seriously, the 150 series Prado is a step up from the Pajero in most ways related to passenger comfort and build quality but because of the new price difference you'd expect that.

The Pajero is still a decent decent competitor and worth considering. The 4WD system is equal to the rest and should take you anyway you'd want to go.

However even with the latest update the Pajero is looking and feeling dated. The thinner doors the on road ride, refinement and the interior needs to be upgraded. At least performance wise it is up to date. The engines use the latest technology but more improvements are needed. 

However overall we like the updated Pajero especially the new style alloy wheels on some versions! The interior is old school but at least it looks more integrated than the newer Prado. The exterior styling on some models is probably what attracts me to it - not ultra conservative or modern but tidy I guess - what a off road car should look like. There is still lots to commend the about the Pajero eg. engines and price.

A new interior and more refinement is all that is really needs in order to match the competition. Try it to see if it is for you!
