Mitsubishi Pajero Returns With Off-Road Focus Ahead Of Debut
Mitsubishi is bringing back its Pajero SUV.
The company will show the new, fifth-generation model on September 2, 2026.
The Pajero was especially popular with many Indian SUV buyers in the 1990s and 2000s.
The new vehicle is designed to be a serious off-road SUV.
It will use a strong ladder-frame chassis based on the Mitsubishi Triton.
It will also have Mitsubishi’s S-AWC drive system.
This is different from rivals that have moved toward more road-focused crossover designs.
Mitsubishi has not yet confirmed whether the new Pajero will be sold in India.
Mitsubishi will globally unveil the fifth-generation Pajero on September 2, 2026.
The comeback revives a nameplate popular among Indian SUV buyers in the 1990s and 2000s.
The new Pajero will use a Triton-derived ladder-frame chassis.
Mitsubishi says the SUV will feature its S-AWC drive system.
An India launch has not been confirmed, while some details remain speculative before the reveal.
