Mitsubishi introduced the all-new second generation of the Pajero/Montero/Shogun in 1991 in Japan and started selling it on other markets a year later.
Named differently on specific markets, the Pajero/Montero/Shogun received a significant update. While it was still a body-on-frame construction, it featured advanced technologies for its time. Mitsubishi aimed at Toyota's Land Cruiser and had to struggle hard to get a grip on its main competitor's market.
The 1992 Pajero featured a flat front fascia with big squared headlights and corner-mounted turn signals and parking lights, losing the round headlights of its predecessor. Its slightly tilted grille sported three horizontal slats and, depending on the trim level, adorned with chromed accents. The plastic, wrapped-around bumpers were continued on the sides by side moldings over the wheel arches and door panels to the car's back. At the back, the carmaker installed the spare wheel on the side-hinged trunk door.
Inside, depending on the trim level, it featured either a cloth or a leather-clad interior. Its angular-shaped dashboard sported an instrument panel in front of the driver and a second one above the center stack. While the former showed the usual information regarding speed, revs, and engine status, the latter showed the car's pitch and roll angle, a compass, and an altimeter. The cabin could host five or seven occupants, with a pair of jump seats in the trunk.
Under the hood, Mitsubishi installed a choice of gasoline or turbo-diesel engines. A significant upgrade was the Super Select transmission, which allowed the driver to drive the car with rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel-drive with three differentials and featured a standard center differential lock. A two-speed transfer case was also standard on all Pajero models.
