Unimportant financial matters Mitsubishi Motors, ставшие следствием недавнего "японского дизельгейта", привели компанию под крыло нового акционера - японской же компании Ниссан, которая милостиво приобрела тридцать четыре процента акций Митсубиши. А с ними и право определять будущее компании, в том числе модельный ряд автомобилей, ведь глава Рено-Ниссан Карлос Гон стал параллельно и председателем совета директоров в этой конторе. Так вот ниссановцы сегодня полны решимости разработать и довести до серии новый Mitsubishi Pajdar, производство легендарного предшественника которого само прежнее руководство компании уже собиралось прикрывать еще два года назад. Руководители Mitsubishi Motors in December 2015 made it clear that the current generation Pajero will be the last. But now they do not decide. After the scandal with low data on fuel consumption of engines car Mitsubishi, the company has joined the Renault-Nissan alliance, and now the native blood of the “three diamonds” auto brand will be unequivocally mixed with the fresh Nissan, and in fact, this is unlikely to make anyone feel bad. Rather the opposite. After all, not with some kind of marriage, but with the most famous and popular auto brand in the whole world. When some successful technologies are synergized with other equally successful ones, a significant qualitative leap can occur. At the peak of which we will see Mitsubishi Pajdar fifth generation. Or is it the Nissan Pajero? 
Чтобы новая громкая модель не растворилась без следа в сонме современных одноклассовых внедорожников типа LandRover Discovery, у Митсубиши нет подходящего шасси, точнее, нет денег на его разработку и производство. В этом смысле слияние с Рено-Ниссан легко развязывает руки инженерам в отношении "тележки" новопоколенного Nissana Patrola! Эта мысль пришла в голову директору по производству Митсубиши Тревору Манну и была публично озвучена в СМИ. Это, конечно, не означает, что "паджерик" перекроят в полноразмерный внедорожник, но переход на шасси Патрола однозначно потребует увеличения его габаритов. 
In addition to ideas about the further fate of Pajero, Mr. Mann voiced the idea that significant changes will occur in the motor line itself Nissana Patrola. The fact is that today in the world the requirements for the environmental friendliness of large crossovers and SUVs are becoming more stringent. All the developers of the global automotive industry are puzzled over how to bring large cars to an "eco-friendly" mind, especially since large-scale scandals that have rattled over the past couple of years, that with Volkswagen, and that with Mitsubishi will not be so easy to deceive technical commissions and ordinary buyer. You no longer underestimate the real emission of engines, if you do not want to stay without pants: the fines are so huge that you can easily go bankrupt and go around the world. 
The segment of large crossovers will adapt in any way to the new eco-standards. More economical and cleaner engines will be developed. The weight of off-road cars will decrease. Will be used hybrid power plants, and maybe entirely electric? The latter is unlikely, since the electric SUV is not quite what is combined. More precisely, it does not fit at all. According to most experts, a plug-in hybrid installation can be a promising solution. About when the fifth Padzherik will appear at least, the company’s managers do not speak, since they themselves do not know. Yes, even if they knew, they would not have said it, because it will be a fundamentally new solution, completely different Mitsubishi Pajdar. About which prematurely trumpet is contraindicated. 
In Geneva, Mitsubishi officially presented compact crossover Eclipse Crosswhich is ranked according to the rank in the car line between the Mitsubishi ASX and the Mitsubishi Outlander. A few weeks ago, the Japanese made a presentation and updated the tenth generation Mitsubishi Lancer sedan.
