The production of Pajero SFX was halted in order to bring the new Pajero Sport into the market and reduce the risk of cannibalization between it's own products. The SFX had started looking outdated and its sales figures were very low when compared to the other SUV's in the competition. It was powered by a 2835 cc engine producing 117 BHP and 292 Nm of torque. The figures were also quite low from the existing cars like Fortuner and Endeavour.
