MITSUBISHI PAJERO

The final update for 2015 gave the Pajero some exterior changes like a updated grille and bumper and some interior add ons while retailing at the same price. Too bad, the engines are the same plus looks is be a love/hate affair.

The Good: Can handle off-road situations

The Bad: Getting old, seriously

Price Range: P2,570,000-P2,770,000
