Mitsubishi Motors Corporation has unveiled the fully redesigned all-new Pajero cross-country SUV at its global premiere in Tokyo, positioning the model as a new-generation flagship for the brand. The reveal marks the biggest overhaul of the nameplate in two decades, with the automaker pairing a freshly developed powertrain with a raft of new safety and off-road technology.
At the heart of the redesign is a new 2.4-litre clean diesel engine that produces 480 Nm of peak torque through a wide-range single variable geometry turbocharger, delivering strong acceleration from a standstill through to highway speeds. The engine is mated to a newly developed 8-speed automatic transmission with a dedicated sport mode, which Mitsubishi says offers smoother, more seamless gear changes across both on-road and off-road driving.
