Land Cruier who? Mitsubishi is cooking a body-on-frame PHEV SUV, and if it is priced right, Toyota could be in trouble.
www.torquenews.comLatest updates suggest Mitsubishi plans a 2026 return for the Pajero, with a late-2026 global debut and Thai production, followed by deliveries in key markets. The new model is expected to be a rugged, body-on-frame SUV sharing a platform with the Triton, powered by diesel and potentially a plug-in hybrid variant in the lineup.[4][5][6]
Key takeaways:
- Global reveal around late 2026, with first deliveries by year-end in several regions.[1][3]
- Platform likely derived from the Triton, reinforcing serious off-road capability rather than a soft-road crossover.[6][4]
- Powertrains will include diesel, with hybrid/PHEV options discussed for emissions and efficiency targets.[8][4]
What this means for you (Dallas-area buyer perspective):
- If you’re after an off-road-focused Mitsubishi revival, expect availability in late 2026 to 2027 in the U.S. market, with local dealers likely awaiting official confirmation and timing.[6]
- Pricing and exact engine specs will emerge closer to the official launch; early reports point toward competitive diesel and potential hybrid variants.[4][6]
Illustrative snapshot:
- Official reveal window: Aug–Sep 2026, with regional launches following; early markets could see late 2026 deliveries.[3][1]
- Competition focus: Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and Nissan Patrol-aligned positioning, emphasizing durability and off-road capability.[1][4]
