Mitsubishi Revives Pajero as Diesel-Powered Global Flagship, U.S. Launch Unlikely

Mitsubishi has unveiled the fifth-generation Pajero, a body-on-frame, three-row SUV designed to serve as the brand's global flagship. The vehicle features a 2.4-liter turbo-diesel engine, a new eight-speed automatic transmission, and advanced all-wheel-drive systems. While the design pays homage to previous generations with boxy styling and rugged capabilities, the interior offers modern luxury with large digital screens. Production will begin in Thailand by March 2027, with initial sales in Japan, Australia, and Thailand, followed by a rollout to 100 markets. However, a U.S. launch remains unlikely due to platform certification issues and the unpopularity of diesel engines in North America.

Mitsubishi Revives Pajero Name with New Ladder-Frame SUV

Mitsubishi has officially revealed the fifth-generation Pajero, a three-row, body-on-frame SUV that returns after a five-year hiatus. The vehicle, which also goes by the name Montero in some markets, is built on a modified version of the Triton pickup's ladder-frame chassis. It features a turbocharged 2.4-liter diesel engine producing 204 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The SUV is designed to rival the Toyota Land Cruiser, offering significant ground clearance and a robust Super Select 4WD-II system. Initial sales are planned for Thailand, Japan, and Australia by March 2027, with expansion to approximately 100 countries worldwide. The US market remains uncertain, as Mitsubishi has not confirmed a return for the Montero name in North America.
