This $7,500 Snoopy-Themed Mini SUV Packs More Charm Than Any New Crossover

Not everyone buys a car for speed or style. Some just want something that turns heads. Enter the Mitsubishi Pajero Mini Snoopy Edition, a tiny, quirky SUV that won’t win any drag races but has personality to spare. S. under the 25-year rule, this 2000s kei car is drawing attention from collectors and fans of the unusual.

One example recently sold for just $7,500.

The Snoopy Edition, produced only in 2000 and 2001, is based on the second-generation Pajero Mini. It features a two-tone white-and-silver paint job, Snoopy graphics on the sides and spare tire cover, paw-print mud flaps, and Snooby-branded wheel center caps. Inside, you’ll find embroidered seats and dashboard art featuring the beloved beagle and Woodstock.

Despite its small size, it comes with air conditioning, power windows, roof rails, and folding rear seats. Under the hood, a 659-cc four-cylinder engine delivers 51 horsepower in the base model, or 63 hp with the optional turbo.

S. and it shares the same boxy, off-road-inspired look. It belongs to Japan’s kei car category, designed for low taxes and tight spaces. S. safety standards can enter the country once they’re a quarter-century old. That makes this Snoopy-themed SUV a legal and affordable option for American buyers looking for something truly unique.
