Tokyo, September 5, 2002-Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) today announced
the release of the 2003 model year lineup of Pajeros, the company's well-known
4WD off-road vehicle. The new-look Pajeros go on sale today on the Japanese
domestic market with a total monthly sales target of 500 units.
- Newly designed exterior parts include front grille, front and
rear bumpers, and wheel lip moulds.
- Mitsubishi's own leading-edge active stability and traction
control (ASTC), equipped as standard in Exceed-II and Super Exceed,
provides better off-road performance and on-road cornering than
limited slip differentials (LSDs).
- Addition of 3.0-liter V6 ECI-multi engine and INVECS-II Sport
Mode 4-speed automatic transmission to Pajero Long gives rise
to new Exceed trim level.
