The record

The second-generation Pajero is the one most associated with the model: a Dakar winner, a Gulf and African favourite and, in Britain, the Shogun that took the market Land Rover had assumed was its own. It stayed in production in some markets long after 1999.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
