The Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin, also known as the Montero Sport in some markets, is a compact SUV produced by Mitsubishi Motors from 1998 to 2007. It was a stylish and practical vehicle aimed at younger buyers and urban dwellers, offering a blend of off-road capability and city-friendly features. The first generation, launched in 1998, featured a distinctive design with a rounded body, large windows, and a sloping roofline. The Pinin moniker refers to the Italian design house Pininfarina, responsible for its sleek exterior styling, and it was built on a shortened version of the Mitsubishi Pajero's platform. Mechanically, the Pajero Pinin offered a choice of petrol and diesel engines, coupled with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The model boasted a unibody construction, providing a balance between rigidity and comfort. Its 4WD system, known as "Easy Select 4WD," allowed drivers to switch between 2WD and 4WD modes on the fly, making it suitable for various driving conditions. The Pajero Pinin's interior was characterized by a spacious cabin, comfortable seating, and a functional dashboard layout. It included features like air conditioning, power windows, and an optional sunroof, catering to both practicality and passenger comfort. While not as rough-and-tumble as its full-size Pajero counterpart, the Pinin still offered respectable off-road ability thanks to its high ground clearance and moderate suspension travel. In 2001, the Pajero Pinin received a mid-life update, bringing minor exterior and interior refinements as well as some engine revisions. Despite its popularity, the production of the Pajero Pinin ended in 2007, replaced by the Mitsubishi Outlander.
