2 Answers
Pajero 3.8L has a fuel consumption of 13.77-17.68L/100km. 1. Features of the 3.8 Pajero: The 3.8 Pajero is a 5-door, 7-seat mid-to-large SUV (curb weight 2195kg), equipped with a 6G75 engine (3.8L naturally aspirated V6 engine). The transmission options are a 5-speed automatic (AT) or 5-speed manual (MT). 2. Real-world fuel consumption of the 3.8 Pajero: According to fuel consumption report data from Xiaoxiong Youhao, the fuel consumption range for 10 owners of the 234 horsepower version is 12.96-17.67L/100km, for 24 owners of the 237 horsepower version is 12.96-17.67L/100km, and for 227 owners of the 243 horsepower version is 13.01-16.40L/100km. The 3.8L Pajero was discontinued after the 2008 model year, and domestic production by GAC Mitsubishi has also ceased. Currently, only the imported 2020 3.0L Pajero is available, with a maximum horsepower of 174Ps/5250rpm and maximum torque of 255Nm/4000rpm.
I've been driving this 3.8L Pajero for several years, and honestly, the fuel consumption isn't exactly low. In city commuting with traffic jams, it easily reaches 18 liters per 100 kilometers, and it's even more fuel-consuming with the air conditioning on. On highways, it can drop to around 13 liters, but you have to drive steadily. Recently, fuel prices have been rising quickly, and I spend several hundred more on gas each month compared to my colleagues' SUVs. The advantage of this car lies in its off-road performance; the four-wheel drive is powerful on unpaved roads, but the fuel consumption is even higher—an hour of driving in the wilderness can burn through half a tank. I'd suggest thinking carefully about your intended use before buying; it's not really worth it for long-term city commuting.
