2026 Mitsubishi Pajero: A Vision of the Future SUV
Introduction
Independent designer Enoch Gonzales has created a stunning vision of the future Mitsubishi Pajero SUV. With a boxy stance and design elements inspired by its predecessors, this fictional SUV is generating excitement among car enthusiasts.
Enoch Gonzales’ Design
Gonzales, a Filipino designer known for his modern reinterpretations of classic vehicles, has chosen a boxier shape for the Pajero. Drawing inspiration from previous generations of the popular off-roader, the design features a set of T-shaped LEDs, a large grille, and a simplified version of Mitsubishi’s Dynamic Shield. The profile showcases straight lines and classic SUV proportions, leading to an upright tailgate with a distinctive bump resembling a spare wheel cover.
The Future of the Mitsubishi Pajero
The luxury SUV market is evolving, and the next-generation Mitsubishi Pajero is expected to reflect this shift. Reports suggest that the new Pajero will ride on ladder-frame underpinnings, potentially sharing components with the Infiniti QX80 or the upcoming Nissan Patrol. This would position it as a worthy competitor to the Toyota Land Cruiser J300. Additionally, there are rumors of an Infiniti-sourced twin-turbo V6 engine and a robust 4WD system.
However, recent reports indicate that the new Pajero might adopt the unibody CMF-C/D architecture from the smaller Mitsubishi Outlander, featuring a hybrid powertrain. This approach would align with Mitsubishi’s global marketing strategy. Only time will tell which direction Mitsubishi chooses for the new Pajero.
