Mitsubishi Motors Thailand has announced 19 October 2026 as the official launch and start-of-sales date for the all-new Pajero, with three variants planned. As of this article’s publication on 14 October, that launch is still ahead. [1]

A new chapter, beginning in Thailand

Mitsubishi presented the new-generation Pajero at its world premiere on 2 September 2026. The vehicle is produced in Thailand, which the manufacturer identifies as its first launch market. The global announcement positions it as Mitsubishi’s flagship cross-country SUV. [2]

What Mitsubishi Thailand has confirmed

The Thai announcement highlights a 2.4-litre turbo-diesel engine producing up to 204 PS and 480 Nm, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Its four-wheel-drive systems include Super Select 4WD-II and S-AWC, with seven drive modes. [1]

Mitsubishi’s global release describes a seven-seat layout, dual 14.3-inch displays on selected specifications, Yamaha audio and MI-PILOT driver assistance. Features vary by market and trim, so the actual Thai variant should be checked. [2]

What this means for dealership planning

For dealerships watching the next generation of premium SUVs, the launch provides a concrete date around which to organise customer enquiries. A useful enquiry should identify seating needs, preferred equipment, colour, quantity and timing, so different versions can be compared once the relevant commercial details are available.

The manufacturer’s Thai launch does not, by itself, confirm SIAMAUTOEXPORT stock, export allocation, Sri Lankan availability or a delivery date. Those details require separate confirmation for an individual order.

Before promising a vehicle to your customer

Confirm the exact Thai variant and manufacturing year, the equipment included, the written export quotation, applicable warranty arrangements and the estimated shipment schedule. Keep customer-facing descriptions consistent with the actual vehicle being offered.

The “2027” reference follows our forthcoming vehicle-range listing. Manufacturing year and market specification must still be confirmed for each vehicle.
