Mitsubishi Pajero Sport successor has boxy body, may drop Sport designation
The replacement for the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport has been spied again, this time with a production-ready body and underpinnings likely borrowed from the latest Triton. Our spy photography agency snapped this SUV undergoing hot weather testing in southern Europe recently. With a live rear axle, running boards and chunky tyres it looks to be the successor to the Pajero Sport that's nearing its 10th birthday, and is based on the previous-generation Triton ute. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Although the Pajero Sport remains in production, Mitsubishi Australia is relying on existing stock as the car can no longer be imported due to new autonomous emergency braking (AEB) regulations it doesn't comply with. An earlier prototype spied in September 2024 had the front end of the current sixth-generation Triton ute, but used the doors and rear body panels of the existing Pajero Sport. This latest development vehicle, though, is wearing a production-ready body that shares nothing in common with the sixth-generation Triton that made its debut in 2023. Mitsubishi is evidently going the extra mile this time around to distinguish the SUV from its ute sibling. Up front the Pajero Sport replacement has a bluff fascia with a tall, wide grille flanked by a ladder of LED driving lights. The main beam unit juts out and connects with the grille. Around the side the new SUV has squared-off wheel arches, a clamshell bonnet, and a blocky silhouette. Interestingly the doors feature sharper window frames and a more upright-looking windscreen than the Triton. At the back the current Pajero Sport's dripping eyeliner tail-lights have given way to more traditional set of tail-lights. The styling here doesn't seem a world away from the next-generation Nissan Patrol. It's unclear what's powering this SUV, but the sixth-generation Triton uses a 2.4-litre four-cylinder twin-turbo diesel mill making 150kW of power and 470Nm of torque. It's paired to a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission, and the choice of rear-wheel drive or full-time four-wheel drive. With the design now more like a classic off-roader than a ute-based family wagon, a rumour is circulating the new model could adopt the Pajero name without the Sport suffix. Whether this turns out to be true remains to be seen, as an earlier rumour indicated Mitsubishi was going to revive the Pajero name for a more luxurious model based on the plug-in hybrid Outlander. If the Pajero does become an Outlander-based model, it will abandon the model's long history as a true off-roader. However, if the Pajero name is used on the car pictured here, it will see the model return to its body-on-frame roots, which it abandoned when the third-generation car debuted in 1999.

Spied Mitsubishi Pajero Prototype Suggests 4x4 May Return After All
Stefan Baldauf / SB-Medien The latest car news, reviews, and features. The Pajero is back! No, not that one. That one. If you're member of our U.S. audience, you might remember it as the Montero. Then again, it was last sold here two decades ago, so you'd be forgiven for not remembering it at all. Elsewhere in the world, the Pajero has been on Hiatus for several years—axed as part of a broader cost-cutting strategy that also saw Mitsubishi curtail future plans for Europe and North America. Since then, the global Renault-Nissan ( and Mitsubishi ) Alliance has been hard at work updating its brands' SUV lineups, and somewhere along the line, a new Pajero was green-lit Our spies expect the revived Pajero to be sold in several overseas markets as a budget-friendly alternative to some of the Alliance's more-expensive 4x4s. It is expected to be offered with four-cylinder, hybrid-electric powertrain that may future-proof it somewhat, but could cause it to butt up against European emissions regulations in short order. Whether it's available as a diesel will also likely be market-dependent. Absent some unforeseen pivot toward the dystopian, we're highly unlikely to see the Pajero in the United States. Not that we're hurting for it, really; we get both the Nissan Armada and the Infiniti QX80, which are far closer to the pinnacle of the Alliance's 4×4 offerings. We'll just have to enjoy this one from afar. .article-sidebar]:pt-0>
