Mitsubishi's teasing campaign for the new generation Pajero, known as Montero in some markets like North America, is intensifying ahead of its autumn launch. After revealing its distinctive lighting design, the Japanese automaker has now unveiled the interior. A key highlight is the modern reinterpretation of the three-gauge digital cluster, a nod to early Pajero generations, emphasizing its maximum off-road capability.

According to Mitsubishi, the new generation Pajero is engineered for pure off-road performance, ensuring a safe, reliable, and comfortable driving experience across all weather and terrains.

This design philosophy is evident on the dashboard. A multi meter digital display shows real-time parameters: altitude, vehicle tilt/roll angles, compass, ambient temperature, and torque distribution. The circles on the screen emulate the mechanical gauge clusters found in the second and third generation Pajero models, where an inclinometer was standard equipment for vehicles built to conquer challenging terrain.

The Pajero name returns with the new generation SUV.

The legendary instrument cluster is reinterpreted in the new generation model.

Regarding exterior design, T-shaped LED light strips frame the distinctive three-diamond logo. Earlier leaked images and tests revealed the vehicle maintains the boxy proportions of a traditional off-road model: a square front end, box-shaped wheel arches, muscular hood and fenders, a thick C-pillar, and an upright rear.

Mitsubishi confirmed the new SUV will share its ladder-frame platform with the Triton pickup, similar to the previous Pajero Sport line. However, the company pledges to "develop a specialized cabin along with dedicated front and rear suspension systems for this model," allowing the new generation Pajero to blend superior off-road capability with a smooth ride.

Regarding its powertrain, the model is likely to feature an electrified engine. The Pajero is positioned as one of five self-charging hybrid (HEV) or five plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models the company plans to introduce over the next six years.

Further details will be continuously updated by the Japanese automaker on the model's dedicated website. In addition to the flagship SUV, the Pajero family is set to welcome a rugged kei-car and another compact SUV in the future.

The new generation Mitsubishi Pajero is scheduled for its global debut this autumn, five years after the previous generation was discontinued. This SUV is also expected to return to the North American market under the Montero name, though sales in that region may not begin until 2030.
