How many seconds does the Pajero take to accelerate from 0 to 100km?
3 Answers
Pajero takes 11 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100km. Pajero series: Starting from the second generation Pajero, Mitsubishi has used Vxx as the numbering for different Pajero models, hence referred to as the V series. The first digit after V indicates the body type, and the second digit represents the engine. For example, V31 is the second-generation long-wheelbase five-door model equipped with a 2.4L 4G64 engine; while V77 is the third-generation long-wheelbase five-door model equipped with a 3.8L 6G75 engine. However, it should be noted that the V series starts from the second-generation Pajero onwards, while the first-generation Pajero belongs to the L series. Pajero models: Include L042, L043, L045, L047, L146, etc.
Many people are indeed concerned about the Pajero's acceleration. As an off-road veteran, I'm very familiar with this vehicle. The mainstream V6 version currently on sale typically achieves 0-100 km/h in around 12 seconds, which is the standard for the 3.0L naturally aspirated engine. With a steep slope or a full load of luggage, it might even take an extra second or two. But honestly, those who buy a Pajero don't care about this—they value its hardcore capability to climb mountains and tackle rough terrain. Last month, I drove a friend's V93 to Inner Mongolia, and it handled muddy slopes much more efficiently than city SUVs—that's real skill!
Just took my son for a test drive of the Pajero V97 a few days ago, specifically tested its acceleration. That 3.8L engine felt quite punchy off the line, with factory data showing 0-100km/h in about 9.8 seconds - faster than I expected. However, the gearbox had noticeable jerks during shifts, understandable given the vehicle's age. The salesperson said higher tire pressure could shave off half a second, but who buys this car for drag racing? What really impressed us was watching it tackle cross-axles - my son kept slapping the windows in excitement.
