What is in front of the Pajero's radiator?

In front of the Pajero's radiator is the front bumper grille. The car radiator refers to the car's cooling system component, which is part of the engine's water cooling system. The radiator in the engine's water cooling system consists of three parts: the inlet chamber, outlet chamber, main plate, and radiator core. The Pajero is a mid-size SUV under GAC Mitsubishi, equipped with a 3.0L naturally aspirated engine that delivers a maximum horsepower of 163 HP. The Pajero comes with a 5-speed manual transmission, with dimensions of 4830mm in length, 1895mm in width, and 1885mm in height, a wheelbase of 2780mm, and a top speed of 170 km/h.
I used to drive a Pajero and knew the radiator was located at the front of the engine compartment. The front mainly features a large grille with a mesh-like design to allow smooth airflow into the cooling system. Right behind the grille is the air conditioning condenser, positioned at the very front of the air intake path to help dissipate heat for the AC system. Further back is the radiator itself, with fans usually positioned behind it to assist with airflow. If you frequently drive in the city, the grille can get clogged with bugs or leaves, affecting cooling efficiency and potentially causing the engine to overheat. That’s why I always remind myself to rinse the grille when washing the car. After off-road modifications, protective plates might be added to the front, but the stock setup is simple—just a few components—making maintenance easy as long as you check them regularly. The Pajero’s layout is quite logical, ensuring good airflow and protecting key components from stone impacts. Don’t overlook routine cleaning to guarantee proper heat dissipation.
