传统上，三菱帕杰罗每一代的生命周期都能达到八至九年，该车自1982年首度面世以来只经历了四代车型，而现行版第四代帕杰罗自06年上市以来一直都没有进行改款,近日,三菱在日本发布了其改款车型以便延长其生命周期。新车在外观上进行了小改款，格栅进行了重新设计，垂直镀铬边框向下一直延伸至保险杠底部。在格栅两侧是全新设计的雾灯和附带的LED日间行驶灯。而在内装方面，整个车厢，包括仪表板和车门内饰版内部都采用了效果更好的隔音材料。虽然车厂并未公布车厢内照片，但内装进行了重新设计，采用了新的内饰和织物材料，中控台和仪表板表明均为黑色钢琴漆装饰。动力方面，帕杰罗改款车仍将提供两台引擎，其中3.0升24气门V6引擎功率176马力，扭矩261牛米，另一台3.2升带中冷涡轮柴油直列四缸引擎功率188马力，扭矩440牛米。

 

Facelifted Mitsubishi Pajero goes on sale in Japan

Though the Montero hasn't been sold in the US since 2006, a fourth generation of the Mitsubishi SUV has been sold in Japan and elsewhere in the world since. This week, the triple diamond marque quietly launched a facelifted version.

 

The Mitsubishi Pajero -- its original name in Japan and Asian markets (it was changed to Montero for sale in North America because "pajero" is Spanish slang for an onanist -- has been undergoing minor changes throughout its protracted fourth generation. Traditionally, Pajero generations have lasted eight or nine years; since its 1982 introduction, there have been only four generations.

 

The latest facelift gives the Pajero a redesigned grille whose chrome vertical bars extend to the bottom of the bumper. The grille is flanked by new a new foglight design that attaches LED running lights. Improved sound insulation can be found throughout the cabin, including behind the instrument and door panels. New trim colors and textures, including piano black, can be found on the console and dashboard.

 

Two engine choices are carried over: a 3.0-liter, 24-valve V6 capable of 176hp and 193 lb-ft of torque, or a 3.2-liter intercooled turbodiesel inline-four good for 188hp and 325 lb-ft of torque. There are no plans to import the new Pajero to the US.
