Mitsubishi Is Reviving Its Iconic Off-Road SUV, and the New Pajero Will Be Revealed This Fall
Mitsubishi says the ground-up 4WD will replace Pajero Sport and help lift Australian sales after a 25% slide, with exports also planned.
- Mitsubishi confirmed the Pajero will return to the Australian market as a premium flagship SUV in the fourth quarter of 2026, positioning itself above the outgoing Triton-based Pajero Sport.
- To counter a sales slide of over 25 per cent this year, Mitsubishi Australia is phasing out the Japan-sourced ASX to make way for the new flagship and other models.
- Manufacturing for the Pajero is based in Thailand, with the vehicle featuring an updated 2.4-litre diesel engine similar to the Triton and a potential top-spec Exceed trim.
- Bruce Hampel, Mitsubishi Australia's GM of Product Strategy and PR, confirmed the SUV will likely debut in the Thai market before reaching Australia, with further details coming later this year.
- Alongside the Pajero, Mitsubishi will launch a radical joint-venture electric small SUV with Taiwan's Foxconn before the end of 2026, marking a significant strategic shift for the brand's lineup.
