2027 Mitsubishi Pajero Revealed: Off-Road Icon Reborn as Triton Ute-Based SUV
The reborn SUV uses a heavily modified Triton chassis, adds a 2.4-liter diesel and eight-speed automatic, and keeps seven-seat capacity.
The fifth-generation Mitsubishi Pajero has been revealed, marking the first new iteration of the iconic large SUV since 2006 and featuring significant changes across its 44-year history.
Underpinned by a modified Triton ladder-frame chassis, the new Pajero shifts away from its monocoque predecessor, with Mitsubishi now building the SUV in Thailand instead of Japan.
Inside, the flagship SUV features a new dashboard with 14.3-inch displays and a bespoke Yamaha sound system; Mitsubishi says the interior design was "inherited from the first-generation Pajero."
Positioned to compete against rivals like the Ford Everest, Isuzu MU-X, GWM Tank, and Toyota Prado, the Pajero enters a crowded segment where the MU-X starts at $49,900 and the Japan-built Prado costs $73,200.
Mitsubishi indicated it will offer hybrid versions of both the Triton and Pajero, with reports suggesting additional models launching in the near future, including a Toyota RAV4-sized SUV.
On September 2nd, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation unveiled a fully redesigned version of its cross-country SUV, the Pajero, as its new-generation flagship model, marking its world premiere.
