All‑new 2025 Mitsubishi Pajero SUV arrives this fall with a retro‑inspired digital dash, hybrid powertrain options and off‑road capability. Learn more now!
The next‑generation Mitsubishi Pajero – known as the Montero in North America – is set to hit showrooms this autumn. Positioned as a direct rival to the Toyota Land Cruiser, the 2025 model brings a blend of classic off‑road pedigree and modern technology.
Design and Exterior Styling
Exterior cues echo the rugged silhouette of earlier Pajero generations. A bold T‑shaped LED light bar frames the three‑diamond Mitsubishi emblem, while a squared‑off front fascia, boxy wheel arches, muscular fender flares and a robust C‑pillar give the SUV a traditional, go‑anywhere stance.
Digital Instrument Cluster – A Modern Take on a Legend
Inside, Mitsubishi revives the iconic three‑dial layout with a fully digital Multi‑Meter display. The screen shows real‑time data such as vehicle height, pitch angle, compass heading, ambient temperature and torque distribution. Circular graphics mimic the analog gauges of the second‑ and third‑generation Pajeros, reinforcing the model’s heritage while delivering contemporary functionality.
Off‑Road Capability
The new Pajero is engineered for pure off‑road performance. A ladder‑frame chassis, shared with the Triton pickup, underpins the SUV, while a purpose‑built suspension system – tuned separately for front and rear – balances rugged durability with on‑road comfort. The digital dash also provides tilt and roll readings, a feature once reserved for elite off‑road machines.
Hybrid Powertrain Options
While final powertrain details are still under wraps, Mitsubishi has hinted that the 2025 Pajero will join its lineup of five self‑charging hybrids (HEV) and five plug‑in hybrids (PHEV) planned for launch over the next six years. This move signals a shift toward greener performance without compromising the SUV’s legendary torque.
Future Variants
Beyond the flagship SUV, the Pajero family will expand to include a rugged kei‑car and a compact SUV, broadening Mitsubishi’s off‑road portfolio.
Launch Timeline
The global debut is slated for autumn 2025, exactly five years after the previous generation was discontinued. A North American release under the Montero name is in the works, though market entry may be delayed until around 2030.
