A new-generation Mitsubishi Pajero will be unveiled on September 2, with the latest iteration of the long-running 4x4 SUV expected to land in Australia before the end of the year.

The confirmation of the Pajero’s unveiling date brings the SUV one step closer to being revived, after Australia last saw the full-sized Pajero in showrooms in 2021, while the smaller Triton-based Pajero Sport was pulled from sale locally early last year due to not being compliant with then-incoming Australian Design Rules.

Though it’ll wear the Pajero name, the new Pajero is, effectively, a successor to the Pajero Sport, as it’ll be based on the underpinnings of the Triton ute.

It’s expected the new Pajero will be built in Thailand – not Japan as with previous generations of the ‘true’ Pajero – and likely powered by the same twin-turbo 2.4-litre four-cylinder diesel engine as the Triton, as well as featuring a six- or eight-speed speed automatic transmission and full-time 4x4 system.

Like many ute-based SUVs such as the Ford Everest and Isuzu MU-X, the Pajero will reportedly share similar dimensions to the Triton, however it could end up being shorter in length due to not needing a tub, despite likely being fitted with three rows of seats.

Images of test vehicles globally and in Australia have shown the Pajero’s overall design is largely related to the Destinator, a Toyota LandCruiser Prado-sized SUV for South-East Asia and some parts of Africa.

While Mitsubishi is developing hybrid technology for the Triton, it’s unclear whether the Pajero will benefit from this as it launches.

The brand has previously confirmed it’ll bring back a number of previous favourite features from past Pajeros, such as a triple-gauge multi meter.

The three gauges will be able to be customised to show altitude, outside temperature, pitch and roll angles (centre), and even left-to-right torque distribution, providing drivers with as much information as needed while negotiating tricky conditions.

It’s not yet known whether the multi meter will once again be located on top of the dashboard between the driver and passenger, or as a configurable display within the instrument cluster.

All will be revealed on September 2.
