Mitsubishi to expand Pajero brand with new compact SUVs

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation plans to expand its SUV lineup by utilizing the 44-year-old Pajero nameplate. Following the unveiling of the fifth-generation Pajero flagship, President and COO Keisuke Kishiura announced that the brand will expand the Pajero family to include compact and small SUV models.

While specific details regarding the new models have not been released, teaser images shown at a recent event in Tokyo featured two boxy vehicles under covers. Speculation suggests these new models could range from Outlander-sized compact SUVs to very small vehicles that might fit into Japan’s ‘kei’ car segment.
