FactPininfarina built this Pajero in Italy and lent it a name, Pinin, after imports kept getting mistaken for a 1.0-litre car.
The Mitsubishi Pajero iO is a mini SUV produced by Mitsubishi between 1999 (since 15 June 1998 in three-door form and 24 August 1998 as a five-door) and 2007, the "iO" name derived from the Italian for "I" ("easy to get to know, easy to drive, and one's very own Pajero"); it was exported as the Montero iO and to Europe as the Pajero Pinin, Shogun Pinin or simply Pinin in honour of Pininfarina, which built the local-market versions at its factory near Turin (the name was changed after imported versions were referred to as "1.0" instead of "iO"). It was also built in Brazil as the Pajero TR4 from 2002 to 2015 under licence — Mitsubishi's first four-wheel-drive flex-fuel vehicle from July 2007 — and in China by Changfeng as the Liebao Feiteng CFA 6400 with the 4G94 and a five-speed manual. The engines were the 1.6-litre 4G18, 1.8-litre 4G93 (also turbocharged) and 2.0-litre 4G94 with a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic, on a 2,280 mm (3-door) or 2,450 mm (5-door) wheelbase.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.
