Overview
- Mitsubishi officially unveiled the fifth‑generation Pajero on Wednesday as a body‑on‑frame, Triton‑derived SUV with a 2.4‑litre turbodiesel, new eight‑speed automatic and selectable four‑wheel‑drive systems.
- The Pajero features dedicated off‑road hardware including a ladder frame, solid rear axle, Super Select 4WD‑II, Super‑All Wheel Control with torque vectoring and seven terrain modes for serious off‑road use.
- Inside it offers dual 14.3‑inch screens, extensive ADAS, and eight airbags including Mitsubishi’s first SRS centre airbag to raise cabin safety and comfort.
- Mitsubishi will build the Pajero in Thailand and begin a phased global roll‑out starting late 2026 with early launches in Thailand, Japan and Australia and broader expansion to about 100 markets from fiscal 2027.
- Regional strategy differs by market: Australia will get confirmed pricing and specs with deliveries due December 2026 while the Thailand‑built diesel Pajero is unlikely for the U.S., which may instead receive a region‑specific Montero later in the decade.
