Mitsubishi has just announced that the all-new Mitsubishi Pajero will make its global debut within the carmaker’s current fiscal year. Based on previous financial reports, Mitsubishi closes its books every March, which suggests that the next Pajero will be launched sometime before the end of the first quarter of 2027, although a separate release from Mitsubishi Australia says it will be unveiled sometime in “autumn 2026.”
That’s a lot sooner than it sounds. The Japanese carmaker then shared that the new Pajero will be further developed into a series of vehicles.
Get ready, folks. We could see different body types and variants galore for the upcoming Pajero. For the uninitiated, previous generations were offered in short wheelbases, while the Pajero Mini quickly became an enthusiast favorite. This also suggests that the Pajero could be equipped with varying powertrains. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Mitsubishi also plans to release 13 new models over the next six years, as it continues “concentrating resources on key countries such as the Philippines, Vietnam, and Japan.” With that, a new hybrid vehicle is expected to be built at the brand’s plant in Santa Rosa, Laguna. Production is expected to start sometime in 2028, by which time the new Pajero will have been launched.
Previous reports have said that the Pajero is scheduled to debut in December 2026, but the rumors about where it will be built have not been put to rest. Other speculation suggests that manufacturing could be moved to Thailand, alongside the Triton. More official details should be revealed in the near future.
It’s definitely going to be an interesting year for the brand. Before we see the Pajero, a separate hybrid crossover will first see Philippine roads at the 10th Philippine International Motor Show in June. More as we get it.
