The Mitsubishi Pajero 3.2 generally delivers an average fuel consumption ranging from 9.0 to 13.0 liters per 100 kilometers under typical mixed driving conditions, and individual results may vary depending on driving style, load, and conditions[1][2][3][6].
Key owner and reported data include:
- 2015 Pajero 3.2 LWB: Users report average fuel consumption around 11–12 l/100km in city driving, with dips below 9 l/100km on long highway trips at low RPM[1].
- 2006–2017 Pajero 3.2 Di-DC Automatic: A reported average combined fuel consumption is about 18.0 l/100km (13.1 mpg US / 15.7 mpg UK); this figure may reflect heavy urban usage or towing and appears higher than most owner experiences[5].
- 2001–2016 Pajero 3.2 DiD (owner forums): Typical consumption averages between 9 and 13 l/100km, with open road figures down to 8–10 l/100km at steady speeds around 110–120 km/h. Consuming over 13 l/100km is generally seen as higher than normal unless under extreme conditions or heavy loads[1][2][3].
- Pajero 3.2 (various generations): Highway consumption is commonly 9–10.5 l/100km, city driving rises to 11–13 l/100km, and towing can increase fuel use to 16–22 l/100km depending on trailer weight[1][2][3].
- Technical specifications (Pajero III 3.2 DI-D): Official combined figures are listed at 9.5 l/100km (about 29.7 mpg UK)[6].
Many owners note that careful driving, low RPM, and regular maintenance (including injector and fuel filter cleaning) can noticeably improve fuel economy by 1–2 l/100km[4].
