Mitsubishi Pajero Redesign Global Debut Set for September 2

Mitsubishi's iconic seven-seater off-road SUV, the Pajero, is making a significant comeback, with its global debut scheduled for September 2, 2026. Attendees of an early preview event have reportedly given high marks to the redesigned vehicle, describing its appearance as "cooler than expected" and praising its "high-quality interior" and "very large space."

The new generation Pajero will be built on the same ladder-frame chassis as the recently launched Triton. It will also incorporate Mitsubishi's renowned S-AWC (Super All-Wheel Control) system, ensuring it retains its strong all-terrain performance and upholds its reputation as a capable off-roader.

Spy shots and teaser images reveal a bold new design language. The front fascia is characterized by a horizontal grille and a distinctive T-shaped LED headlight cluster, complemented by an rugged-style front bumper. The rear design echoes the front with a贯穿式 (guànchuānshì - through-type) LED taillight, enhancing its visual identity and recognition.

The exterior is cooler than expected.

While interior details remain under wraps, Mitsubishi has confirmed the continuation of the classic three-dial instrument cluster, albeit in a digitized format. The cabin is expected to offer improved comfort and convenience through higher-quality materials and advanced technology. Its boxy silhouette will continue to provide ample space for three rows and seven occupants, maintaining its practicality.

Under the hood, the new Pajero is anticipated to use the same 2.4-liter turbodiesel engine found in the Triton, delivering 204 horsepower and 47.9 kgm of torque. There are also rumors that Mitsubishi might revive the Ralliart nameplate in conjunction with the new Pajero's launch.

The interior quality is very good, and the space is also very large.
