The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution represents one of the most iconic chapters in Japanese performance car history, combining rally-bred engineering with turbocharged power and all-wheel-drive capability.

Now here’s a lovely little curio all the way from the Land of the Rising Sun – Japan! It’s called the Mitsubishi Pajero Junior, and it’s a dinky little four-by-four! Yes, this cutesy thing you see in our photos is a fully-fledged off-roader! The Pajero Junior was made between 1995 and 1998, as a bite-sized variant of Mitsubishi’s capable Pajero (or Montero, depending on where you hail from) full-size off-roader. It’s a little larger than a kei car, but not by much. This particular 1996 Mitsubishi Pajero Junior ZR-II is up for sale in Oceanside, New York, having covered a mere only over 28,000 miles so far. So, if you want a small vehicle that’s great for urban running duties but can also conquer an off-road trail and shame much larger four by fours, this is your ticket to ride.

Anyone who has even a passing interest in cars likely knows about the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. This is what happened when Mitsubishi decided to inject some of their World Rally Championship-winning DNA into their Lancer compact car. Ten generations of Evolution were made between 1992 and 2016, thrilling enthusiasts across the globe. Early models sadly didn’t make it to the United States, but later ones did. This particular 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR is rather interesting, as it’s from the last generation of Evo, as they are fondly known. With its 2.0-liter MIVEC TURBO engine, 5-speed manual transmission and Sight & Sound Package, it’s got quite a value proposition to offer. In short, it’s a ferociously quick family car that can easily settle down for a daily drive, then buckle up for the weekend blast at the track.
