The 2027 Mitsubishi Pajero will be unveiled on September 2, bringing back the iconic SUV with new off-road technology and a Triton-based platform
The 2027 Mitsubishi Pajero is coming back, and there is now a date for its first public appearance. Mitsubishi will unveil the new SUV on September 2, 2026. The return comes five years after the previous Pajero was discontinued in overseas markets.
For Mitsubishi, this is more than a name returning to the lineup. The company says the new Pajero will become a flagship cross-country SUV. It will use the Triton pickup's ladder-frame platform, but Mitsubishi is developing its own cabin and suspension setup for the SUV.
What We Know So Far
The 2027 Mitsubishi Pajero is expected to focus on off-road driving while offering a more comfortable ride on regular roads. Mitsubishi has already confirmed its use of the latest Super-All Wheel Control system.
Some details that have been confirmed or reported include:
The new Mitsubishi Pajero will also bring back a familiar feature from older versions. Mitsubishi has shown the new Multi Meter, which is a digital take on the old triple-gauge setup. It can display information such as altitude, outside temperature, pitch and roll, and left-to-right torque distribution.
A Different Pajero This Time
Although the new SUV shares its basic chassis with the Triton, Mitsubishi says the Pajero has been developed separately in important areas. That means buyers should not expect a pickup truck with an enclosed body. The company is making changes to the cabin and suspension to give the SUV its own character.
The new Mitsubishi Pajero is expected to compete in the growing market for ladder-frame SUVs. More information about its engine, specifications, pricing and equipment will come when Mitsubishi takes the covers off on September 2.
