Overview
- Mitsubishi has scheduled a global reveal for Wednesday, September 2, 2026, and has released teasers that confirm the new Pajero uses a body‑on‑frame layout derived from the Triton pickup.
- The company confirmed the latest Super All Wheel Control (S‑AWC) full‑time four‑wheel‑drive system will be fitted to the Pajero to deliver enhanced on‑ and off‑road traction and torque distribution.
- Early filings and reporting point to the Triton’s 2.4‑litre twin‑turbo diesel as the initial powertrain, reported at about 150 kW and 470 Nm, with those figures described as expected rather than final.
- Australian homologation documents show six variants across GLX, GLS, Exceed and GSR grades, five‑ and seven‑seat layouts for key trims, and indicate the Pajero will reach Australian showrooms after the September reveal by late 2026.
- The nameplate’s return replaces the Pajero Sport in Mitsubishi’s lineup, revives rally‑inspired touches such as a digital Triple Multi Meter, and sets a product roadmap that includes a hybrid Pajero targeted around 2030.
