New Mitsubishi Pajero 2026: What CarsGuide Says About the Iconic 4WD’s Return to Australia

The Mitsubishi Pajero is officially making its return to Australia, and if you’ve been waiting for one of the country’s most iconic 4WD nameplates to make a comeback, the wait is nearly over.

The All-New Mitsubishi Pajero is set to arrive in Australia in December 2026, bringing a new design, upgraded technology, serious 4WD capability and a more premium interior to the legendary Pajero name.

For drivers searching for the New Mitsubishi Pajero in Sydney, Tynan Mitsubishi Kirrawee in the Sutherland Shire is preparing for its arrival.

And now, the automotive experts at CarsGuide have had their first opportunity to get behind the wheel.

CarsGuide Experts Get Behind the Wheel of the New Mitsubishi Pajero

CarsGuide News Editor Dom Tripolone recently drove the All-New Mitsubishi Pajero at Mitsubishi’s proving ground in Okazaki, Japan, giving Australian buyers an early look at what they can expect when the new model arrives locally.

Following the first drive, CarsGuide highlighted the Pajero’s quiet and refined driving experience, smooth engine and transmission combination, and bold new styling.

CarsGuide’s early verdict described the new generation as feeling more refined and sophisticated than expected following its initial drive.

It’s an encouraging first impression for a vehicle carrying one of Mitsubishi’s most recognised names.

How Much Will the New Mitsubishi Pajero Cost in Australia?

While pricing is not confirmed from Mitsubishi Motors Australia– According to pricing reported by CarsGuide, the New Mitsubishi Pajero range is expected to begin from $68,490 before on-road costs.

Mitsubishi Pajero GLS 5-seat – from $68,490 before on-road costs
Mitsubishi Pajero GLS 7-seat – from $69,990 before on-road costs
Mitsubishi Pajero Exceed – from $79,990 before on-road costs
Mitsubishi Pajero GSR – from $84,990 before on-road costs

The Exceed and GSR will both be offered as seven-seat models, giving families looking for a large Mitsubishi SUV another highly anticipated option.

What Engine Does the New Mitsubishi Pajero Have?

Under the bonnet, the new Pajero features a 2.4-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine producing 150kW of power and 480Nm of torque.

It is paired with a new eight-speed automatic transmission.

CarsGuide noted that this engine and transmission combination delivered a smoother, more refined experience during its early drive compared with the Triton on which the new Pajero shares some of its underpinnings.

For Australian buyers planning road trips, weekends away or towing, the Pajero is also rated to tow up to 3,500kg.

Is the New Pajero Still a Serious 4WD?

Absolutely.

While comfort, technology and refinement have taken a major step forward, Mitsubishi hasn’t forgotten what made the Pajero name famous.

The new generation features Mitsubishi’s Super Select 4WD-II system and S-AWC vehicle dynamics technology, with seven selectable terrain modes designed to adapt the vehicle to different driving environments.

Depending on the conditions, drivers can select Normal, Eco, Gravel, Snow, Mud, Sand or Rock modes.

There’s also a ladder-frame platform underneath the new Pajero, while Mitsubishi has developed a five-link rear suspension system to help balance genuine off-road ability with greater comfort and composure on everyday roads.

That means the New Pajero has been designed for more than simply looking adventurous.

Whether you're navigating Sydney traffic, heading south from the Sutherland Shire for a weekend away or leaving the bitumen behind, the new Pajero has been engineered with Australian adventures in mind.

A New Pajero for Australian Families

The return of the Pajero isn't only about off-road performance.

Inside, Mitsubishi has focused heavily on making its flagship SUV comfortable and practical for families.

Seven-seat configurations will be available, while the cabin introduces a substantially more modern look and feel.

Depending on specification, features include large digital displays, updated driver technology and Mitsubishi's new Multi Meter, a modern interpretation of the classic Pajero triple-meter display.

The system can display information such as altitude, compass direction, outside temperature, vehicle pitch and roll angles and torque distribution.

It’s a clever nod to Pajero history inside a much more contemporary cabin.
