2026 Mitsubishi Pajero priced above Ford Everest in Australia

Mitsubishi’s new Pajero returns to Australia with a starting price of A$68,490, or about 1.3 billion Vietnamese dong, for the five-seat GLS. That puts it around A$9,500 above the least expensive four-cylinder Ford Everest, although it remains about A$4,710 below the entry-level Toyota Land Cruiser Prado.

The price gap is even wider compared with the Pajero Sport GLX, which previously started at A$51,540. The new Pajero costs A$16,950 more, though the two SUVs belong to different generations and the Pajero Sport relies on a platform that has been on the market for roughly a decade.

At the other end of the range, the Pajero GSR costs A$84,990. Its price edges above the diesel V6 Ford Everest Platinum and approaches the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado VX. Mitsubishi positions the new Pajero as the flagship SUV in its lineup, with greater size, equipment and technology than the Pajero Sport.

The vehicle retains a ladder-frame chassis linked to the Triton pickup, but Mitsubishi developed the body separately. It uses a 2.4-liter 4N16 diesel engine with a variable single turbocharger, producing 201 horsepower and 480 Nm of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The standard GLS includes Super Select 4WD-II, 18-inch wheels, LED lighting, two 12.3-inch screens, wireless smartphone connectivity, wireless charging, heated steering and a powered tailgate. Safety equipment includes eight airbags, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane support, blind-spot monitoring, a 360-degree camera and driver monitoring. Higher grades add larger wheels, leather interiors, heated and ventilated seats, larger displays, Yamaha audio, sunshades and a panoramic roof.
