Safety Features
To ensure optimal control and complete comfort while driving on all types of roads, the Pajero’s body frame has been reinforced three times more than the previous model. This enhancement reduces the chances of losing control by improving resistance against twisting and bending of the frame. Notable safety features include:

Fuel consumption rates range from 13 liters per 100 km to 13.5 liters per 100 km.
Conclusion
When it comes to choosing between the Pajero and the Captiva, the deciding factor will be the vehicle's practicality and power.

It also offers better fuel efficiency, ranging between 8.9 liters per 100 km and 10.7 liters per 100 km.
