The Mitsubishi Pajero Junior is another compact SUV produced by Mitsubishi Motors, and it shares some similarities with the Mitsubishi Pajero Mini. Like the Pajero Mini, the Pajero Junior was primarily designed for the Japanese domestic market (JDM) and was known for its smaller size and off-road capabilities. Here are some key details about the Mitsubishi Pajero Junior:
Compact Size: The Pajero Junior was smaller than the regular Mitsubishi Pajero and was designed to be a more compact and urban-friendly SUV.
Engine Options: Depending on the model year and market, the Pajero Junior was equipped with various engine options, often featuring small-displacement gasoline or diesel engines.
Off-Road Capabilities: Just like its larger Pajero counterparts, the Pajero Junior was equipped with four-wheel drive (4WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) systems, making it capable of handling light off-road terrain. This made it a popular choice for outdoor enthusiasts and those looking for a versatile SUV.
Styling: The Pajero Junior featured the traditional boxy and rugged SUV styling, with a spare tire mounted on the rear door. Its design resembled a downsized version of the Mitsubishi Pajero.
Popularity: The Pajero Junior gained popularity in Japan due to its compact size, versatility, and the ability to handle various road conditions.
Discontinuation: Like the Pajero Mini, the production of the Pajero Junior was discontinued in the mid-2000s as consumer preferences shifted towards larger SUVs and crossovers, and stricter emissions and safety regulations came into play.
