The Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin, produced from 1998 to 2007, was a compact SUV that offered a blend of rugged capability and stylish design. While sharing its name with the larger, more off-road-focused Pajero (known as the Montero in some markets), the Pinin was actually based on the Mitsubishi Colt platform. This made it more of a crossover, with its focus being on city driving and practicality, while still retaining some off-road capability. The Pinin was particularly popular in Europe, where its compact size and fuel-efficient engines resonated with urban dwellers. It came equipped with a range of petrol and diesel engines, with the majority being 1.6-litre and 1.8-litre options. These engines were generally known for their reliability and reasonable fuel economy, making them practical for everyday driving. The 2000-2001 model years saw the Pinin receive a mid-cycle refresh, with updated styling and some interior refinements. Despite being a smaller SUV, the Pinin still offered a surprising amount of space for passengers and cargo. It also featured a range of standard and optional features that enhanced its comfort and usability, including power windows, air conditioning, and a CD player. The Pajero Pinin's design was also a key factor in its appeal. It had a distinctive, rounded shape with a sloping roofline that gave it a sporty look. It also came equipped with a range of alloy wheel options, further enhancing its visual appeal. While not a hardcore off-roader like its namesake, the Pinin still offered respectable off-road capability thanks to its high ground clearance and available four-wheel drive system. However, its main focus was on offering a comfortable and practical ride for daily commutes and occasional weekend adventures.
