The Mitsubishi Pajero, a robust and capable SUV, saw its third generation introduced in 2000, with the 2001-2003 model years representing a significant period in the vehicle's evolution. This generation, known as the "L" series, featured a more refined and modern design than its predecessors, while retaining the Pajero's characteristic off-road prowess. The 2001-2003 models were available in a variety of trims, including the base GL, the luxurious Exceed, and the sporty VR-II. Power came from a range of engines, including the 3.0-liter 6G72 V6, offering respectable performance and fuel efficiency. The Pajero's four-wheel drive system, Super Select 4WD, allowed drivers to choose between different modes, providing optimal traction for varying terrains. The system featured a limited-slip differential, a low-range gear, and a center differential lock, ensuring confident handling even in challenging conditions.

The 2001-2003 Pajero was a well-equipped vehicle, offering features like dual airbags, ABS, and a full-length side step. Inside, the cabin was spacious and comfortable, with ample headroom and legroom for passengers in all seating positions. The car's interior boasted quality materials and a functional layout, providing a pleasant and refined driving experience. While the Pajero's off-road capabilities were its defining characteristic, the vehicle also exhibited on-road comfort and handling. The third-generation Pajero established itself as a strong contender in the mid-size SUV segment, offering a blend of off-road expertise, on-road comfort, and a robust, reliable package. Its popularity endured through these model years, solidifying its reputation as a capable and versatile vehicle.
