Mitsubishi Pajero launch and electrified expansion

Overview

Mitsubishi Motors is advancing its ‘Momentum 2030’ strategy through the launch of new models and significant manufacturing investments. The company has introduced the fifth-generation Pajero, a large off-road SUV returning after a five-year hiatus. This new seven-seat model features a ladder-frame chassis, 230mm ground clearance, and a 2.4-litre turbocharged diesel engine producing approximately 480 Nm of torque. To complement the diesel engine, Mitsubishi is considering hybrid (HEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrains.

In Australia, entry-level pricing for the Pajero GLS five-seater is set to start at $68,490, with local deliveries expected from December 2026. The vehicle is positioned to compete with models such as the GWM Tank 500 PHEV. To support its electrified transition, Mitsubishi plans to invest 16 billion baht by 2030 to transform its Laem Chabang facility in Thailand into a manufacturing hub for electrified vehicle exports, including the Pajero and Triton.

Alongside the Pajero, Mitsubishi is expanding its commercial lineup with a new L200 Series 7 pick-up truck. The commercial version features a 2.4-litre bi-turbo engine, a payload exceeding 1t, and a towing capacity of 3.5t.

Future updates include a mid-life refresh for the Triton around 2028, which will incorporate hybrid engines and design elements from the Pajero. Additionally, Mitsubishi is considering a high-performance off-road version of the Pajero under its Ralliart brand. The Pajero is slated to participate in the Asia Cross Country Rally next year to serve as a development laboratory for extreme terrain performance.
