Due to internal documentation of a number of Japanese brand dealers, it has become known that the 2023 model year Nissan Z sports car will weigh more than expected.

Mitsubishi Pajero 2022-2023.

Recently it became known that Mitsubishi will keep full-size SUV Pajero on the world market.

This car should leave the lineup of Japanese manufacturer two years ago.

But the company Mitsubishi continued to «stamp» new versions of Pajero, each time calling them «last».

Apparently, demand for SUV was so high that the manufacturer nevertheless decided not to refuse it.

However, despite the popularity of the current version of the Pajero, which is currently available only in Australia and in several other countries, Mitsubishi still upgrades it.

The Japanese model’s current body design became obsolete long ago. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Japanese manufacturer plans to update it.

Judging by first renderings, future Pajero will be more powerful and larger than its predecessor.

The Japanese model, in fact, will turn into an off-road variant of the minivan Delica D:5, which is in high demand in Asian markets.

In general, Mitsubishi unexpectedly decided to stop production of the Pajero, as back in November 2013 was shown a prototype of the fifth generation SUV. However, he did not go into production.

This decision was made due to the lack of sufficient funding for the project. And this despite the fact that the Pajero as a whole was considered one of the best SUVs of all time.
