It cost me just look at the picture, which was filmed new car Mitsubishi Pajero, both within eknulo me, as if I had something pretty, but the long-run. The memory of old times is what came into me. And this green top and clear direct line silhouette-it is a body of a vehicle Pajero! Adoption directly say, a rather controversial : why is it suddenly, I decided that the visual image that has been left in me from the car of the second-generation model range is true, but everything else is so bad? And yes, in the days just went to fashion jeeps in a passenger performance, and a new Pajero peaked just to the courtyard. However much water has passed under the bridge since then. But that I described to you their nostalgic experiences, which resulted in me a simple photograph. When I became acquainted with the new Pajero model graphically, the belief that "sooner is better" from me somehow slipped waned. Yes, indeed, a model similar to previous years was striking. But at least hit me in modern design, something, I would say rafinirovannost silhouette, which I did not notice before, as both have done just now. Especially interesting to look front of the machine, the round headlamps, which immediately made some clarity as to what side of the vehicle oriented. "Of course, I soobrazil is the same every inch Land Rover. Well, then, one European in Japan became more! ". Of course, who says that appear on a car in the city would be totally unacceptable! ? So, I would assure you that the real Jesus of this machine is a suburban road. So, the European poise, it is evident, but not the Europeans, who likes iron city streets and squares, and cry luxury car category SUV with one bloom selectivity. No, all is another matter. Yes that is to say, from this machine it is the younger brother, "citizenship", and calling his Mitsubishi Outlander, right? Here he is again, this is the machine, which indicates that the urban SUV performance. It is, however, too, if the eldest and the "title" Pajero mark was there. If you look, it becomes clear-car model series Pajero sold in more than 170-ti world. And I should point out to them there are many such, where dirt and dust on the road a few. What can surprise and the surprise of potential buyers who live in such places forgotten God? Of course, to make them understand that gaining his regular Pajero car, but tomorrow they are ready to enter the race "Paris-Dakar". And that was ubeditelney to do? It is a total mass similar model with its ATB option, to the point that even the air filter in place, as if it really would swallow road dust in immense quantities. And you say "SUV" for the city. The body is verified that pozaviduet any legkovushka can talk as long as you want that machine apparently is a typical SUV, but it is still not yet come for the rudder and proedesh couple of hundred kilometers, not learn. Incidentally, I forgot to say that the updated model range includes both 2-dverny 5-mestny version of the machine ( "korotysh"), and 7-mestnuyu long version, which is equipped with four doors. But any of those versions could be as 3.8- litre 6 -tsilindrovym V-obraznym MIVEC engine, and the 3-litrovym UD6 engine. Both are on petrol. As you can see, the variety is structured, so we just could not reach. I thought, and decided to take a test run Pajero Super Exceed, which has a long body and is equipped with 3.8- litre motor. Judging from the location, the length of the new version is more of the old 130 mm. However, it should be borne in mind that fees for the registration plate on a new car is located directly on the "spare wheel, which is mounted to the back door. So most of the growth is due to the length of such a transfer endpoint measurements. If the measure distance from the last point of the front bumper to rear bumper end point, it appears that only increased length of 15 mm. Wheelbase remained the same, but since the new body is more angular, the new car seems more bulky. On the other hand, if you look at the interior, there are similarities to the old salon, the same, similar to the left and right wings of the front, as a follow-up to mid-cluster structure. However, part finishing salon has certainly become more resemble the passenger compartment, the car, it is a fact. Quality adjustment of the individual components of high, the same as in the exterior design of the upper car interior atmosphere created by sports business. Since work on the car Colt "salon" designer company Mitsubishi has gained in skill, it is felt throughout. And salon Pajero new to the most recent evidence. 3.8-litrovy engine equipped with the system MIVEC To my regret, the route of my trip was to test thumbscrews roads, and for this "fact" new Pajero I had never experienced. But how he himself is in the "on road", I was fairly complete picture. 3.8-litre engine with a V-shaped UD6 location cylinders, as evident from the increased volume, is a powerful torque at low speeds. So right from the first moment he became progressively and smoothly develop their potential. In order to move forward with the car permitted on the public highway speeds it is not necessarily transgress the milestone in 2000 rpm. This engine can be trusted. But my goal is to try it in different ways, so I will press for stronger gas. As soon as this is done, as the beginning to be felt pride engineers Mitsubishi-phase distribution system changes and the opening of valve MIVEC. But not yet in the cams operating at high speed (ie, where turnover exceeds 3000 per minute), and is currently in peak torque (2750 rpm). . It would seem, then continue to build the wall, but I thought that that was not the case, the culmination of more to come. For the tachometer indicates 4300 revolutions. At this stage the engine ride with a vengeance, sound, as in the sports car. And the sound was becoming higher and higher, and it lasted until the engine raskrutilsya to 6000 rpm. You know, the vast majority of machines that compete with Mitsubishi Pajero car, equipped with engines from the 8th cylinders. However, after I described the test was seriously believe that if all of these companies were engines such as Mitsubishi engineers developed, it is unlikely they would want to tinker with these Two extra cylinders. The suspension at the core of its features remained the same as the previous car model. It still remains the front suspension with double parallel tools, and back-mnogorychazhnogo type. That combination is good with all road irregularities, and, in spite of the height, the car was not too inclined to employers. For only those multigrade tyres, the whole way, they did not give me the peace of its continuous noise from the friction of asphalt! The front seats, whether the driver's seat or a passenger, are controlled so that they can sit with maximum comfort. But the rear seats in all its dimensions me not spacious bottom of the feet. Although, of course, not to the extent that the rear passengers had no option once poke feet under the front seats of chairs. And finally, the third seat number is unlikely to seriously-an adult they can not be used, save that needs prompt. Nastanut whether Pajero new golden ages? So, it is clear that new Pajero vehicle designed by its creators to become this SUV SUV category, while very bad and as a routine car. I think that both of those drivers who choose to drive on the roads, let alone those hands and feet for the road, equally sympathetic consideration to such sweeping changes that have happened to their favorite model for the next full update. Moreover, responding to the highest standards and on the road to advance to the elite, the vehicle can be purchased for approximately $ 2 million yen, although, of course, the most expensive modification is an order of magnitude higher (4 million 368 thousand, to be exact). What I have not tested the new model Pajero car on road, I was, frankly, not very disappointed because it is still in Japan will mainly deal with the roads, that can not be avoided. Here, in Japan, I think, there was a tendency to think so : no roads, of course, a good deal, but still let it better be perfectly suited to drive through the city. That is, and produced some disharmony, as his humour potential and realize it will not. And what then take it as it is not capable? But on the other hand, and who said that he "must necessarily take" the Japanese driver, and adjust to the demands of the domestic market? Not authenticity whether he try to become a world car. In large cities, and this car-SUV things incompatible. So, if this new Pajero and remains machine for those who recognize this truth. This is the drivers and it is most needed.
