Unique Features of the Mitsubishi Pajero iO

- High ground clearance for rocky terrain or snow
- Short wheelbase for excellent maneuverability on tight trails
- Lightweight construction, making it surprisingly capable off-road
- SUV practicality in a compact, city-friendly size
- Balanced ride quality—comfortable on pavement, confident in rough terrain
Interesting Facts
