It is becoming quite common for Indian automobile vloggers to visit international auto shows to bring the latest updates from the international markets.
An Indian vlogger is visiting the Bangkok Auto Show where she gets to experience the 2023 Mitsubishi Pajero and calls it the Toyota Fortuner killer. She mentions that she is a fan of Toyota due to its rugged products and reliable engines with capable off-roading features. On the other hand, Mitsubishi Pajero was a Fortuner rival in the Indian market a few years ago. However, it has been discontinued as Mitsubishi has quit manufacturing products in our market. That is what makes sitting in the new Pajero so exciting for the vlogger. Here are the details.

The interior is quite basic but gives a feeling that it has been built keeping in mind practicality and durability. That is the case with Toyota as well. The Pajero has a spacious interior, a high seating position, a compact touchscreen at the centre, chrome, aluminium and silver accents on the door panels, a touchscreen display for the multimedia for the rear passengers, large third-row seating, roof-mounted AC vents and more. The YouTuber mentions that it is a pity that it is not available in India otherwise it would’ve given the Fortuner a run for its money.
