Mitsubishi Pajero 3Lt V6.

[DJH77]

I saw this advertised on TV, does anyone have any info on it as i can't find anything about it.

I think it's a petrol engine - nothing on their site yet, but believe it's at the motor show? Last day for the show is today. Should be nice and smooth but would be missing the torque and economy of a diesel (petrol is also 6 bt / l more now than diesel). I think a google search should bring up some more on it. I drove a 3.5L v6 in australia (the real pajero) and was quite quick for a truck.

Another website says the official launch is June with a price not more than 1.3M baht. The interior is black leather apparently, too.

Looking at the net, this vehicle has been around quite some time overseas (if indeed it is the same vehicle).

Petrol consumption looks bad, from overseas figures:

From a poster in headlightmag.com, quoting a Russian brochure for this vehicle:

in city fuel consumption 16.6 l/100km = 6km / l.

outside of 9.9l/100km = 10.1km / l.

average 12.3l/100km = 8.13km / l. the average. from abroad. Thailand continues to -2 km / l. a simple average of 6.13 km / l.
