This is called the Shogun in the UK market. Even though it is old-fashioned it has a lot of charm and there are so many people who still love them. Including me. I love the down to earth simplicity of this car. Great video by the way.
This is one of the best reviews on what is a very underrated car, you put across a very balanced and fair review where as here in the UK, it is knocked because it is not as modern as a Land Rover Discovery! It is also not so expensive and is more reliable! I prefer the simple, no nonsense charm of the Pajero (Shogun in the UK) Thank you once again for an excellent review!
I loved that he said that the Pajero car gives you the felling "this is my car, my castle" because this is so true! The car really gives you the sensation that you, and your family and loved ones, will always get to your destination, whatever the conditions of the road. That's an important feeling in our often poorly kept roads of Brazil. I owned the smaller Pajero Pini for 8 years and moved to the "big fellow" Pajero Full and couldn't be happier with the acquisition !!! I'll probably keep it for 5 years or more, then I'll get a newer model of it. Please Mitsubishi do not stop making them!!!!
Hi,I am in Johannesburg South Africa, this is a great review, I love this car. I had the SWB, as a bachelor, sold it when I started a family... Tried the more modern expensive air suspension cars... I am now going back to the Pajero LWB. I just love the personality of the car... Well done!
After having a toyota,and Touareg (which was a pain in the ass) and and a merc s600 ,I ended up buying a Pajero in Saudi Arabia with a 3.5 L Petrol engine..This car saved my life here under the scorching heat.. I never thought the buy a pajero before as Iike Toyota Land Cruisers alot .but what I was thinking about Pajero completely changed after driving this car..Its very reliable and very strong piece of machine with less problematic electronics ..The car is just doing its job ..You woundt be disappointed if you buy this car..I love it but I wish Mitsubishi uses less plastics to prevent that annoying squeeking noises ..Other than that I am definitely going to buy another Pajero with 3.8L full version in 2020..I am enjoying the one I have right now..I started to think that Japanese cars are better than German cars in terms of reliability ,part and service costs..German cars are too complex and too expensive to maintain..
I have a 2006 UK spec Shogun in 5 door like this, I really would not swap it for anything. Sure it feels dated now inside (it has a slightly different interior to this one) but it does it all, tows my caravan, drives off road, carries 7 people, carries just about anything with the seats down, and in all weathers with zero hassle. There is something special about it, something in its character that makes me smile when I drive it. I had a slight scare in a small multi-storey car park in Uxbridge where I really thought I would get stuck, so tight were the turns and so low the ceiling. If you have one, they are 190cm tall which is literally the max height for some car parks so watch out and read the height limit signs before entering!
Good Review! Everything you have said about this Montero is so true. I've owned one for 12 years and 200k miles- Mitsubishi has stopped this model for US, so just traded mine for a Jeep wrangler. Thanks & Nice work again with the review!
Really great review.... n one thing Pajero, G class, Land Cruiser, Land rover, Jeep, Nissan patrol r the real suv... when the going gets tough, u knw it will bring u home... not like the modern so call SUV... whose realiability is so-so...
I have 2011 model pearl white, me and my wife sharing it and I really find it comfortable long driving. I drove for 12 hours and its very comfortable. Now I am planning to buy 2018 model gray color this time so we have 2 Pajero for me and my wife. Also Mits Pajero price wise is the best deal you can get compare to other manufacturer. Value for money? Its the Pajero.
While wondering which SUV to buy, your review made me to go for Mitsubishi Montero. To be honest really enjoyingthe fun of driving my own. And auto gear setting information also had given a better knowledge when and where to shift correctly. Thank you and hope future reviews also would help us better understanding of the SUV.Malinda Fernando. SriLanka.
As you said,it feels like a king, it is very true as i just drove one of my colleagues Pajero/Montero, those where the first words that came to my mind and that too both the hands on the steering wheel.All on coming cars where looking so small infront of it as i draw it.It has a good view from the front windshield. Yours is the best review of this beast called Pajero/Montero(mountaineer/Mountain Hunter).Thanks for your review sir.
Hi, and thank for your 3 videos about Pajero. Yesterday, June 9, 2018, I bought one of last but new Mitsubishi Pajero 3 doors Instyle. I live in the South of France. I Enjoy very much that model.Not so much car today, give the sensation of pleasure to drive.
Salam n Blessings upon you, Well, I really hardly comment over internet but your review is simply marvelous having a detailed information, especially the gear settings info, beside a beautiful land scape. RegardsMuhammad Imran
A nice short review Thomas. The camera work was a little "flakey" but maybe that was because of the low-light conditions (maybe). I've always liked the look of the 5-door Pajero. The interior certainly shows its age but I understand what you mean about that being less important than in saloons and other cars. That commanding driving position and the general feel of being in command would certainly win over most people who want a capable off-road vehicle that you can depend upon. Thanks again.
Great review! I just bought a 2002 Montero Limited with 282,000 miles on it from the original owner and am trying to read up as much as I can on it - thank you so much! By the way - who's the blonde who shot the video? ;)
Randy Fox Thank you! And keep us informed about the milage :) Katharina is filming this, check out the new B-Class video or the Passat, there you see her reporting in front of the camera :)
Absolutely agree with Garry's commants, another astounding review Thomas, please keep them coming as they are (imho) the best on RUclips. . Please review the 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV soon !!....
Great review, very fair. It is an old design, but that does not mean its a bad thing. Land Rover Defenders are old but still are very capable and popular.
I have a 2001 Montero, it can do anything... except save gas... but, that's a price to accept to be able to go anywhere, and do anything! It is amazing!
Thanks for the great review, This car is great all around Two problems though, the CEO has announced there will be no reproduction for 2017 until 2020/2021 and another issue is this car is gulping petrol like there is a leakage underneath the vehicle. I haven't bought the 2016 yet but I'm planning next month from now, your advice is critical, should I buy it or should I go for another vehicle. Cheers.
@@autogefuehl Thank you! It's a 1983 TT600 Yamaha (my bike is not quite as shiny as the icon picture) with original colours; i believe Europe is more familiar with the 'XT600' version. TT/XT600 are almost as heavy as your featured Pajero! Haha... Thank you again for the well-crafted content. -Dave from Australia
Good review ! Very informative , looks like good vehicle , just so so in interior ,but like you said ,purposely built . Fuel economy could be better and a more refined drive train control would be appreciated . Exterior is good. I think it would do okay in the US but would have need to up its game on interior, because the high price of entry of this trim line , lots of competition . Thanks for the great review ! Joe
Good review. Too bad I can't afford it now :D Still driving v20. But I love the fact Mitsubishi kept SuperSelect functionality. This it the true force of Pajero. Also its good to see review that uses kilometers and liters, not gallons and miles :) Thumbs up!
Thinking about buying this vehicle so this was a great review, thanks autogefuhl. My only problem is that you are harping a disgust for animal leather. You do a great job, but please keep this kind of politics out. I get your disgust with the animal hide industry, and I kind of agree, but you just are 2 good at doing auto reviews to bring politics into it. I, like you hate the cruel life "animals 4 hide" live, but at least every bit of that animal has a real purpose. Keep up those long reviews please, You are the best at detailed car reviews. Like THE BEST! I just do not appreciate being lectured. My government gives me this in abundance. Especially here in the EU. (Norway is not even part of the EU). Anyway, Thomas. You are kind of the pinnacle of this new RUclips TREND of giving BS reviews. You at least have integrity. A rare thing these days. Best wishes from Norway! PS! Too bad you do not run several websites, You do a terrific job!!! Please give my respects to all the people that make Autogeühl such a success. (I really tried hard to spell Autogefühl correctly in respect of your work). Remember I respect you, and your co-workers, great reviews and you are some of the absolute best for us that actually are thinking of buying the the products you review. And tough I agree with you a lot regarding animal hide, this is just too close to politics to be uncomfortable. However right you usually are. Please keep up the awesome work!!! I am my selves a person with MENSA acreidentals and a IQ above 135 but you have to be clearer with people who is less endowed. I guess you, Thomas, is in a range of 130-139, and still you are one of the best in the market. (remember English is my 5. language. After Nor, Swe, Dan, Isl, Den, German and some Spanish(not fluent) I also can do PUNJABI and HINDI. My Mensa score is above 139 (kind of significantly. Like between 130 and 149 Never had a test below 140. But closer to 1xx. (difficult to get exact values above 130) Eiter way I do not care. Just check my name with the ridiculous problems USA have had with rocket 511 I kinda is a RC however funny (???) and my accredentials? You wish!! It would be like telling Will Smith you can not shoot down these aliens because the government might get upset. Really funny but kinda true. Enough said. But I still respect immensely the job you and your crew do. I am not THAT smart ;-) ( might be just THAT smart) just so you Stupid MF understand how smart the people who actually produce our transportation are. I often laugh when confronted with such morons ideas. Luckily you are legit. Not a sham like 95% of YT. Please keep up the amazing work you do every day, 365.
Thanks for your appreciation! As for the leather topic, special follow our extensive resources as explanation. Thank you for taking interest in this very important topic! We have researched this issue for many years now so please take your time to go through our extensive resources stated below as they answer every single question we have yet received concerning this matter. At Autogefühl, we have already received several thousands (!) comments, messages and mails that more and more people want to combine enjoying their car with reducing the environmental impact at the same time. We believe that sustainable luxury is possible or at least we should do everything to support that. Those many thousand people confirming this trend, motivate us to give you the most authentic information and background on the product parts. It is not about what you bought in the past, and it is not about blaming anyone, it is about what you decide in the future and what you can decide and influence as a customer. So we want you to have all information that you need for a decision you later enjoy and like best yourself. In Summer 2017, Tesla motors has decided to be the first manufacturer to go all the way with sustainable seat materials, only offering fabric/cloth seats or leatherette seats in different colours. They have banned all real leather from the seating surface and at the steering wheel in the white trim or on demand. So Tesla shows where the industry will and must be heading, just like they went forward with electrification first. Check out our special video addressing car CEOs as a first summary and also see conditions of animal skin production: ruclips.net/video/LNSUzZXzpdc/видео.html List of practical reasons against animal skin seats: 1. animal skin seats are often sold as an expensive option, by going for base trim level seats you can save a lot of money and get a better price-performance-deal (often the manufacturers claim that animal leather is top of luxury because they can earn the best money with it) 2. animal skin seats get hot in summer and you stick to the seat, probably you need seat cooling 3. they get very cold in winter and you need seat heating 4. on cloth or microfibre surfaces, you basically don’t need seat heating nor cooling 5. animal skin seats wear out very fast and look like an old sofa 6. if you want leather look or need seats that can be wiped clean easier, the leatherette (faux leather) surfaces are meanwhile highly evolved and it is possible that it feels even softer and better than anything else (See our Tesla Model X review ruclips.net/video/y2wNGFKa4M0/видео.html) So Tesla shows a good example for that and as described, non-leather materials are now standard for ALL Tesla 7. More manufacturer names for their good alternatives: Mercedes MBTex/Artico for leatherette, Dinamica for microfibre. BMW Sensatec, Toyota Sof-Tex, Lexus Nu-Luxe (all faux leather) To the environmental reasons: 1. The way the cows and other intelligent and social animals are raised and held are not according to the basic values that we all share (also see videos below) 2. The factory farming industry can be accounted for at least 40 % of climate emissions and thus is (according to numerous sources you can look up) the number one reason for climate change and environmental destruction. It is the number one reason for deforestation, two thirds of all agricultural land on earth is used for growing animal food crops. If you would feed humans directly by using the agricultural land, you could produce much more food for everyone. See this interesting essay for more on climate emissions background: www.worldwatch.org/files/pdf/Livestock%20and%20Climate%20Change.pdf 3. It is not only cows who are suffering, but also the environment and to a big part also humans. Think of slavery-like working conditions in slaughterhouses (there are plenty of documentaries about this) or think of chemically altered drinking water in animal skin production villages as also seen in the video footage. 4. The discussion, for which body part the cow is killed first, is very patronizing. But if you really think it would be important why someone gets killed in first place: There are many productions where the cow is killed for the skin first, sometimes even while still being (part-)alive, the skin is the most profitable single part of the body. 5. So even if a cow gets theoretically killed for meat first, in every case you give additional money to an industry that relies on killing, pollutes the environment and harms people with chemicals. Let's say you are standing at the meat counter. And you ask for the leg of the cow. The butcher tells you: "You can eat that without worrying, the cow was slaughtered for the neck first". The next customer demands the neck. The butcher tells him: "It's not your fault, the cow was slaughtered for the belly". A the next customer demands the hide, what answer does he get? You see, that argument of "byproduct" comes from the meat and leather industry to cover up that you contribute to killing no matter which part of the body you buy. 6. To the often said argument, animal skin would just be a byproduct, please google/youtube "leather is not a byproduct" you will find plenty of information. A good overview on all those issues can also be found here: adaptt.org/ To “But leatherette is not sustainable due to petrochemical production” 1. Indeed some fabrics and micro fibres are oil based, however most oil is spent on energy production, heating and fuel. The share of oil used for artificial cloth etc. is very very small. 2. If you look at the whole production process, the leatherette is way more sustainable than the leather produce. Even if you leave the ethical aspect aside, here is the official calculation of the CO2-Output animal skin vs leatherette (different kinds of leatherette): Leather 17 kg CO2/m² PVC leatherette 10 kg CO2/m² Acella Eco natural leatherette 8,5 kg CO2/m² Benova (PUR leatherette): 8 kg CO2/m² So by using the latest high-tech leatherette, you even the CO2-emissions are cut in half! 3. The best to-come solution are indeed plant-based materials like Pinatex (based on pineapple leaves) or new materials based on mycelia (roots of mushrooms) or other innovative natural products. That’s the future. More special video episodes: 1. A initial special video from Autogefühl considering the use of leather can be found here: ruclips.net/video/8f91KgbVbJQ/видео.html 2. And another one right here: ruclips.net/video/tMNgcLE0LDU/видео.html 3. Furthermore, you’ll find the footage of leather production also here, where people are walking in chemicals etc. and animals have to watch their friends being slaughtered in front of their eyes: ruclips.net/video/JipYvuDsI6s/видео.html timecode starting 27:46 4. This is another video which very well summarizes the torture of leather production, shots taken at big farms which directly produce for the automotive industry: ruclips.net/video/OgHs239bAnE/видео.html 5. Please note that those videos are made by well-known journalists and cameramen who were not influenced by any animal welfare organisation, they supply their footage to the animal rights groups of course. I partly know the creators of the video footage personally and they are all authentic. You don’t have to search long to find cruel production environments anyway. Manufacturers reactions: We started the very first inquiry years ago, with the result that car manufacturers do not reveal their sources of animal skin AT ALL. If it all would be clean and happening without harm, why don’t they show it to us whereas they are showing us every other detail of their products? They have good reason not to, because there is no such thing as a clean animal skin production without harming cows, humans and the environment. The only thing a manufacturer can do is increase their effort for a better future, and we are helping with in-depth talks and interviews by presenting the increasing customer demand for sustainable luxury. Tesla was the first one to react in a major way now. So meanwhile, we more often also get feedback that a lot of manufacturers are working on leather-free interiors and are aware of the situation. E.g. Bentley, Mini and Kia have started vegan car interior programmes. Besides Tesla, Mercedes already shows major choices for sustainable interiors, you always have to pay attention to the details when ordering, of course - and we are happy to give advice. However, much has to be done still and the Autogefuehl community is massively helping in boosting the positive change! Help to raise awareness on this subject. Thanks!

great review! have 2004 pajero and it is still very good especially on off road. thank you! have an idea if they are going to release a new version on 2016? thank you
Ty for this review because you do this very well and I really enjoyed this video ;) Thanks one more time :D I want this car :D Really :D Just like you ;) Greetings from Poland ;) Your english is very good :)
So Mitsu do not sell a lot of these now, so they offer limited versions, so they sell even less... I do not like the wheel on the rear door as it makes the vehicle long. I do not need 7 seats. In the meantime Prado has the wheel under the trunk and offers 5 seats version, which offers massive loading capacity.
Thank's to your excellent review. I bought an SG3 Model (UK Spec.) 9 months ago. I spent 6 months touring around Europe in it. Off road but mainly on road. I covered 16,000 KM over the summer, the car was great no problems with it also very, very comfortable. It may not be a Land Rover/Landcruser or other luxury 4x4 that cost a hell of a lot more money. it is however a fantastic car. (excellent value for money.) If you want affordable and reliable 4x4 do yourself a favour and take one for a test drive...... you will be hooked. Thank you.
MITSUBISHI KEEP THIS BOXY DESIGN !!! you'll see everyone running back to it. Just look at the pathfinder and the new 2017 landrover LR4 they've slaughtered its boxy design its killing me what they're doing to the 4x4s !!! The only thing id complain about is 3rd row seating space and the storing place of the seats and the way it comes out its very unusual. Id love it even more if you could make it a bit longer
Hello it is nice to look at this video. i'd like to ask what is your idea for Pajero 2008/9 years. is there the same feature as the ultimate version? Thanks in advance
Hello, I am buying a new SUV here in Nepal, and I am confused in between Pajero and Pajero Sport. Both are equally nice, could you help with a comparison in basis of technology, features and other factors.
I have this model and the on road acceleration is good. It isn't a race car but the power pushes you up over 100kms/h progressively without power loss. Hope that helps
ah, i see. thank you. that was quick reply. no wonder you have so many fan following. great video. very pleasant presentation. subbed. btw, you are a great salesman. you can sell a diesel gate VW to an environmentalist lol
+فوق هامات السحاب sorry we cannot translate in every language ... you can try the subtitle function of youtube though, it might help a little bit even if not everything is right
Dem Pajero fehlen eigentlich nur belüftete Sitze und ein feiner Sechszylinder Diesel..... aber das wird wohl leider nicht mehr passieren. Aber ich werd ihn mir wohl trotzdem holen 🤓 in weiß mit hellem Leder Ausstattung Top 😎😎😎
A somewhat disappointing review considering that it came from Germany, the center of excellence for all things automotive. For instance how the pajero's diesel engine compares to German diesel engine in terms of acceleration, economy and NVH (noise, vibration and harshness). Sure the author having driven lots of German diesel automobiles can comment on that. Ditto for the transmission. Pajero uses monocoque construction and has been criticised for noiseness and vibration. Most German SUV have also transitioned to monocoque construction, which country has the better execution. The author has criticized the slow steering response, aren't the off road vehicles intentionally designed like, for better control during off road. sorry for this criticism but a German reviewer ought to do better than this

Nice to see a fair and unbiased review of this car on its actual merits, most reviews just slaughter it because its an old design, nice job.

+Garry Clark appreciate your approval!
Just like the G-Wagon, Mitsubishi got the Pajero right from the first time. Why change the design when it's perfect ?
I loved that he said that the Pajero car gives you the felling "this is my car, my castle" because this is so true! The car really gives you the sensation that you, and your family and loved ones, will always get to your destination, whatever the conditions of the road. That's an important feeling in our often poorly kept roads of Brazil.
I owned the smaller Pajero Pini for 8 years and moved to the "big fellow" Pajero Full and couldn't be happier with the acquisition !!!
I'll probably keep it for 5 years or more, then I'll get a newer model of it. Please Mitsubishi do not stop making them!!!!

The Australians have a saying. "If you want to go into the outback take a Land Rover, if you want to come back out again, take a Shogun"
Matt Harding it’s come back with a Toyota 🙄
I have a 2006 UK spec Shogun in 5 door like this, I really would not swap it for anything. Sure it feels dated now inside (it has a slightly different interior to this one) but it does it all, tows my caravan, drives off road, carries 7 people, carries just about anything with the seats down, and in all weathers with zero hassle.

+Rashaine Thomas thanks Rashaine and keep supporting us!
A nice short review Thomas. The camera work was a little "flakey" but maybe that was because of the low-light conditions (maybe).
I've always liked the look of the 5-door Pajero. The interior certainly shows its age but I understand what you mean about that being less important than in saloons and other cars. That commanding driving position and the general feel of being in command would certainly win over most people who want a capable off-road vehicle that you can depend upon.
Thanks again.
+OldVillain yeah indeed low light - thanks for the feedback!
Good review 👍️
I personally prefer the old school off -road style like a spare tire on back door to cross over SUV style we often see today
cheers!
Great review! I just bought a 2002 Montero Limited with 282,000 miles on it from the original owner and am trying to read up as much as I can on it - thank you so much! By the way - who's the blonde who shot the video? ;)

Thanks for the great review, This car is great all around Two problems though, the CEO has announced there will be no reproduction for 2017 until 2020/2021 and another issue is this car is gulping petrol like there is a leakage underneath the vehicle.
I haven't bought the 2016 yet but I'm planning next month from now, your advice is critical, should I buy it or should I go for another vehicle.
Cheers.
a very nice informative and relaxed pace with these reviews.
thanks! and nice bike ;-)
@@autogefuehl Thank you! It's a 1983 TT600 Yamaha (my bike is not quite as shiny as the icon picture) with original colours; i believe Europe is more familiar with the 'XT600' version. TT/XT600 are almost as heavy as your featured Pajero! Haha... Thank you again for the well-crafted content. -Dave from Australia

Good review ! Very informative , looks like good vehicle , just so so in interior ,but like you said ,purposely built . Fuel economy could be better and a more refined drive train control would be appreciated . Exterior is good. I think it would do okay in the US but would have need to up its game on interior, because the high price of entry of this trim line , lots of competition .
Thanks for the great review !
Joe
TechExplorer Thank you, Joe! Indeed purposely built puts it in a nutshell :)
ultimate car top class review. great.
appreciated!
Pajeros are like vampires. They never lose their beauty.
Good review. Too bad I can't afford it now :D Still driving v20. But I love the fact Mitsubishi kept SuperSelect functionality. This it the true force of Pajero.
Also its good to see review that uses kilometers and liters, not gallons and miles :) Thumbs up!
thanks, keep tuning in =)
Thinking about buying this vehicle so this was a great review, thanks autogefuhl. My only problem is that you are harping a disgust for animal leather. You do a great job, but please keep this kind of politics out. I get your disgust with the animal hide industry, and I kind of agree, but you just are 2 good at doing auto reviews to bring politics into it. I, like you hate the cruel life "animals 4 hide" live, but at least every bit of that animal has a real purpose. Keep up those long reviews please, You are the best at detailed car reviews. Like THE BEST! I just do not appreciate being lectured. My government gives me this in abundance. Especially here in the EU. (Norway is not even part of the EU). Anyway, Thomas. You are kind of the pinnacle of this new RUclips TREND of giving BS reviews. You at least have integrity. A rare thing these days. Best wishes from Norway! PS! Too bad you do not run several websites, You do a terrific job!!! Please give my respects to all the people that make Autogeühl such a success. (I really tried hard to spell Autogefühl correctly in respect of your work). Remember I respect you, and your co-workers, great reviews and you are some of the absolute best for us that actually are thinking of buying the the products you review. And tough I agree with you a lot regarding animal hide, this is just too close to politics to be uncomfortable. However right you usually are. Please keep up the awesome work!!! I am my selves a person with MENSA acreidentals and a IQ above 135 but you have to be clearer with people who is less endowed. I guess you, Thomas, is in a range of 130-139, and still you are one of the best in the market. (remember English is my 5. language. After Nor, Swe, Dan, Isl, Den, German and some Spanish(not fluent) I also can do PUNJABI and HINDI. My Mensa score is above 139 (kind of significantly. Like between 130 and 149 Never had a test below 140. But closer to 1xx. (difficult to get exact values above 130) Eiter way I do not care. Just check my name with the ridiculous problems USA have had with rocket 511 I kinda is a RC however funny (???) and my accredentials? You wish!! It would be like telling Will Smith you can not shoot down these aliens because the government might get upset. Really funny but kinda true. Enough said. But I still respect immensely the job you and your crew do. I am not THAT smart ;-) ( might be just THAT smart) just so you Stupid MF understand how smart the people who actually produce our transportation are. I often laugh when confronted with such morons ideas. Luckily you are legit. Not a sham like 95% of YT. Please keep up the amazing work you do every day, 365.
Thanks for your appreciation!
As for the leather topic, special follow our extensive resources as explanation.
Thank you for taking interest in this very important topic!
We have researched this issue for many years now so please take your time to go through our extensive resources stated below as they answer every single question we have yet received concerning this matter.
At Autogefühl, we have already received several thousands (!) comments, messages and mails that more and more people want to combine enjoying their car with reducing the environmental impact at the same time. We believe that sustainable luxury is possible or at least we should do everything to support that. Those many thousand people confirming this trend, motivate us to give you the most authentic information and background on the product parts. It is not about what you bought in the past, and it is not about blaming anyone, it is about what you decide in the future and what you can decide and influence as a customer. So we want you to have all information that you need for a decision you later enjoy and like best yourself.
In Summer 2017, Tesla motors has decided to be the first manufacturer to go all the way with sustainable seat materials, only offering fabric/cloth seats or leatherette seats in different colours. They have banned all real leather from the seating surface and at the steering wheel in the white trim or on demand. So Tesla shows where the industry will and must be heading, just like they went forward with electrification first.
Check out our special video addressing car CEOs as a first summary and also see conditions of animal skin production:
ruclips.net/video/LNSUzZXzpdc/видео.html
List of practical reasons against animal skin seats:
1. animal skin seats are often sold as an expensive option, by going for base trim level seats you can save a lot of money and get a better price-performance-deal (often the manufacturers claim that animal leather is top of luxury because they can earn the best money with it)
2. animal skin seats get hot in summer and you stick to the seat, probably you need seat cooling
3. they get very cold in winter and you need seat heating
4. on cloth or microfibre surfaces, you basically don’t need seat heating nor cooling
5. animal skin seats wear out very fast and look like an old sofa
6. if you want leather look or need seats that can be wiped clean easier, the leatherette (faux leather) surfaces are meanwhile highly evolved and it is possible that it feels even softer and better than anything else (See our Tesla Model X review ruclips.net/video/y2wNGFKa4M0/видео.html) So Tesla shows a good example for that and as described, non-leather materials are now standard for ALL Tesla
7. More manufacturer names for their good alternatives: Mercedes MBTex/Artico for leatherette, Dinamica for microfibre. BMW Sensatec, Toyota Sof-Tex, Lexus Nu-Luxe (all faux leather)
To the environmental reasons:
1. The way the cows and other intelligent and social animals are raised and held are not according to the basic values that we all share (also see videos below)
2. The factory farming industry can be accounted for at least 40 % of climate emissions and thus is (according to numerous sources you can look up) the number one reason for climate change and environmental destruction. It is the number one reason for deforestation, two thirds of all agricultural land on earth is used for growing animal food crops. If you would feed humans directly by using the agricultural land, you could produce much more food for everyone. See this interesting essay for more on climate emissions background: www.worldwatch.org/files/pdf/Livestock%20and%20Climate%20Change.pdf
3. It is not only cows who are suffering, but also the environment and to a big part also humans. Think of slavery-like working conditions in slaughterhouses (there are plenty of documentaries about this) or think of chemically altered drinking water in animal skin production villages as also seen in the video footage.
4. The discussion, for which body part the cow is killed first, is very patronizing. But if you really think it would be important why someone gets killed in first place: There are many productions where the cow is killed for the skin first, sometimes even while still being (part-)alive, the skin is the most profitable single part of the body.
5. So even if a cow gets theoretically killed for meat first, in every case you give additional money to an industry that relies on killing, pollutes the environment and harms people with chemicals. Let's say you are standing at the meat counter. And you ask for the leg of the cow. The butcher tells you: "You can eat that without worrying, the cow was slaughtered for the neck first". The next customer demands the neck. The butcher tells him: "It's not your fault, the cow was slaughtered for the belly". A the next customer demands the hide, what answer does he get? You see, that argument of "byproduct" comes from the meat and leather industry to cover up that you contribute to killing no matter which part of the body you buy.
6. To the often said argument, animal skin would just be a byproduct, please google/youtube "leather is not a byproduct" you will find plenty of information. A good overview on all those issues can also be found here: adaptt.org/
To “But leatherette is not sustainable due to petrochemical production”
1. Indeed some fabrics and micro fibres are oil based, however most oil is spent on energy production, heating and fuel. The share of oil used for artificial cloth etc. is very very small.
2. If you look at the whole production process, the leatherette is way more sustainable than the leather produce. Even if you leave the ethical aspect aside, here is the official calculation of the CO2-Output animal skin vs leatherette (different kinds of leatherette):
Leather 17 kg CO2/m²
PVC leatherette 10 kg CO2/m²
Acella Eco natural leatherette 8,5 kg CO2/m²
Benova (PUR leatherette): 8 kg CO2/m²
So by using the latest high-tech leatherette, you even the CO2-emissions are cut in half!
3. The best to-come solution are indeed plant-based materials like Pinatex (based on pineapple leaves) or new materials based on mycelia (roots of mushrooms) or other innovative natural products. That’s the future.
More special video episodes:
1. A initial special video from Autogefühl considering the use of leather can be found here: ruclips.net/video/8f91KgbVbJQ/видео.html
2. And another one right here: ruclips.net/video/tMNgcLE0LDU/видео.html
3. Furthermore, you’ll find the footage of leather production also here, where people are walking in chemicals etc. and animals have to watch their friends being slaughtered in front of their eyes: ruclips.net/video/JipYvuDsI6s/видео.html
timecode starting 27:46
4. This is another video which very well summarizes the torture of leather production, shots taken at big farms which directly produce for the automotive industry: ruclips.net/video/OgHs239bAnE/видео.html
5. Please note that those videos are made by well-known journalists and cameramen who were not influenced by any animal welfare organisation, they supply their footage to the animal rights groups of course. I partly know the creators of the video footage personally and they are all authentic. You don’t have to search long to find cruel production environments anyway.
Manufacturers reactions:
We started the very first inquiry years ago, with the result that car manufacturers do not reveal their sources of animal skin AT ALL. If it all would be clean and happening without harm, why don’t they show it to us whereas they are showing us every other detail of their products? They have good reason not to, because there is no such thing as a clean animal skin production without harming cows, humans and the environment. The only thing a manufacturer can do is increase their effort for a better future, and we are helping with in-depth talks and interviews by presenting the increasing customer demand for sustainable luxury. Tesla was the first one to react in a major way now.
So meanwhile, we more often also get feedback that a lot of manufacturers are working on leather-free interiors and are aware of the situation. E.g. Bentley, Mini and Kia have started vegan car interior programmes. Besides Tesla, Mercedes already shows major choices for sustainable interiors, you always have to pay attention to the details when ordering, of course - and we are happy to give advice. However, much has to be done still and the Autogefuehl community is massively helping in boosting the positive change!
Help to raise awareness on this subject. Thanks!
Great review! Any chance of reviewing Outlander as well?
Lukáš Švajda Thanks Lukas! Ok we ll note that down, maybe as a PHEV

شكرا جزيلا وأتمنى أن يتم عمل ترجمة إلى اللغة العربية حيث أنه لدينا إهتمام كبير جدا بمتابعة أخبار السيارات والأمور الأخرى المتعلقة بها
ما في أحد درا وش تقول، بس ولا يهمك أخوك بيترجملهم كل اللي طلبته مع إني أشك انه بيترجملك لأنه أساس جنسيته ألماني، يعني يالله فك خطه مع الانجليزي
Mr. Akram Ghanim is asking you kindly to put a translation in Arabic due to the huge fans from middle East and others around the globe.

another great review...... also..
great review! have 2004 pajero and it is still very good especially on off road. thank you! have an idea if they are going to release a new version on 2016? thank you
surgtg Atm I am guessing it will be released 2016. No exact info yet though.
Good review!Good Luck))
javid asgerov thanks :)
is there a manual transmission on this car
Ty for this review because you do this very well and I really enjoyed this video ;) Thanks one more time :D I want this car :D Really :D Just like you ;) Greetings from Poland ;) Your english is very good :)
+sportowiec96 thanks !
Perfect, looking forward to it !!....
That's a great review ...
So Mitsu do not sell a lot of these now, so they offer limited versions, so they sell even less...
I do not like the wheel on the rear door as it makes the vehicle long. I do not need 7 seats.
In the meantime Prado has the wheel under the trunk and offers 5 seats version, which offers massive loading capacity.
Nice review...
Excellent review, great work.
+stephen leith thanks join us for more reviews !
Thank's to your excellent review. I bought an SG3 Model (UK Spec.) 9 months ago.
I spent 6 months touring around Europe in it. Off road but mainly on road.
I covered 16,000 KM over the summer, the car was great no problems with it also very, very comfortable.
It may not be a Land Rover/Landcruser or other luxury 4x4 that cost a hell of a lot more money. it is however a fantastic car. (excellent value for money.)
If you want affordable and reliable 4x4 do yourself a favour and take one for a test drive...... you will be hooked.
Thank you.
You should do an ASMR car review :-D
+Pio Leiner 😎
super review
Great video...thank you
+Anthony Uchidiuno 👌👌
MITSUBISHI KEEP THIS BOXY DESIGN !!! you'll see everyone running back to it. Just look at the pathfinder and the new 2017 landrover LR4 they've slaughtered its boxy design its killing me what they're doing to the 4x4s !!! The only thing id complain about is 3rd row seating space and the storing place of the seats and the way it comes out its very unusual. Id love it even more if you could make it a bit longer
Superb revieW
+Sanul Wedaratne thanks!
Hello it is nice to look at this video. i'd like to ask what is your idea for Pajero 2008/9 years. is there the same feature as the ultimate version? Thanks in advance
+Kamal Mammadov thanks! Uh sorry I dont know. But not soo much has changed!
great review thank you man !
👍
nice video, i thinking about this car, for towing horse
thanks marek!
Hello, I am buying a new SUV here in Nepal, and I am confused in between Pajero and Pajero Sport. Both are equally nice, could you help with a comparison in basis of technology, features and other factors.
+Anmol Shah see facebook answer!
the sound is relly noisy on the 3.2 L but on the 3.8 its very nice ind cool sound on the engen
+ali al_ king because 3.2 its diesel, tend to more noisy
Will you review Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV 2016
+Michael Simpkins yes, that one is already scheduled !
Is there any new Pajero(excluding the2015) coming as i am looking forward to buy one.
Amar Toraskar Rumours say it will be 2018 for the all-new model.
GOOD Review
Muneeb Ahmed Thanks! Also checked out the other Pajero review? :)
Yes I did was very exciting and everything that I hoped it would be.... Cheers
I bought the 3.8 V6 version, it's a really smooth and capable car buy my gosh the amount of gas it consume per 100km 😅
15l/100km??
@@brian_jake 13l/100km when I am driving smoothly. I can easily reach 15L/100km when I am dribing more aggressively.
@@waza3350 that's not bad for a V6. I have pajero io 1.8 GDI consumes 10l/100km.
oh he just told me it's an automatic transmission Mitsubishi pajero but it don't have a touch screen on it only a radio and air con settings sorry
How good is motorway acceleration.
I have this model and the on road acceleration is good. It isn't a race car but the power pushes you up over 100kms/h progressively without power loss. Hope that helps
when you were into the driving segment, i could hear some squeaking inside the cabin. what is that?
maybe from co-driver belt?
ah, i see. thank you. that was quick reply. no wonder you have so many fan following. great video. very pleasant presentation. subbed. btw, you are a great salesman. you can sell a diesel gate VW to an environmentalist lol
appreciated, great to have you here! LoL I am not selling cars though, always giving pro and cons :)
my classmate family car is 2014 Mitsubishi padgero manual transmission
Can you please review the land cruiser v8
Aaron Teh Tze Loong Hey, I'd love to, but Toyota so far decides not to be very active when it comes to collaborating with digital media in Germany.
I can understand that
great suv
can you 'translet?' for arabic , this thing good for your channel and for us.
+فوق هامات السحاب sorry we cannot translate in every language ... you can try the subtitle function of youtube though, it might help a little bit even if not everything is right
+Autogefühl thanks 😊
Dem Pajero fehlen eigentlich nur belüftete Sitze und ein feiner Sechszylinder Diesel..... aber das wird wohl leider nicht mehr passieren.
Aber ich werd ihn mir wohl trotzdem holen 🤓 in weiß mit hellem Leder Ausstattung Top 😎😎😎
Überleg mal, ob du vielleicht doch Stoff nimmst: ruclips.net/video/LNSUzZXzpdc/видео.html
😍
it's a cute car tho
Personality = Tank
A somewhat disappointing review considering that it came from Germany, the center of excellence for all things automotive.
For instance how the pajero's diesel engine compares to German diesel engine in terms of acceleration, economy and NVH (noise, vibration and harshness). Sure the author having driven lots of German diesel automobiles can comment on that. Ditto for the transmission.
Pajero uses monocoque construction and has been criticised for noiseness and vibration. Most German SUV have also transitioned to monocoque construction, which country has the better execution.
The author has criticized the slow steering response, aren't the off road vehicles intentionally designed like, for better control during off road.
sorry for this criticism but a German reviewer ought to do better than this
+Nawaz Zaygham that has nothing to do with my country. The pajero is a legend, but its also a very very old car, comparing to the competitors
