Mitsubishi continues its tease of the all-new Pajero ahead of its autumn 2026 (September to December) global launch.
The carmaker has confirmed the return of one of the Pajero’s most recognizable features: the multi-meter display. Switching from an analog to fully digital setup this time around, the new triple meter display successfully pays homage to a design feature popularized by past Pajero generations.
Designed to enhance the enjoyment of off-road driving, the Multi Meter on the all-new Pajero provides a wide range of information, including altitude, compass heading, ambient temperature, vehicle pitch and roll angles, and left-right torque distribution. These features allow drivers to monitor constantly changing driving conditions and vehicle dynamics in real time.
Whether navigating steep inclines, winding mountain roads, narrow and rugged forest trails, uneven rocky terrain or muddy conditions after heavy rain, the system displays real-time information that helps drivers maintain confidence and control across diverse natural environments around the world.
I wonder why Mitsubishi thought this was worthy of a press release lol
ReplyDeleteWhy not??? it’s Marketing teasers…Pajero is a legend and still has many diehard fanboys it will excite them.
DeleteWould've been noteworthy if this was a separate analog/digital gauge from the infotainment screen, but if it just uses the infotainment screen (like the Xforce and Destinator) then it would be useless since if you are off-road, you'll probably have the cameras displaying at the screen.
DeleteI wonder if Philippines is a priority market for the Pajero. I think it would be a big hit to PH buyers. If they manage to launch before the end of 2026 locally, they have a winner.
ReplyDeleteMitsubishi PH has two ways to price the Pajero locally in the Philippines:
ReplyDelete1st: they copy how Toyota markets the Prado as an aspirational "luxury car" in third world countries. Price it twice the highest trims of traditional PPV like Fortuner/MonteroSport. It is obviously overpriced for the raw materials and R&D spent on the car, but Toyota does that in purpose to maintain its exclusive status in third world countries.
2nd: they price it how it should be, but lose the exclusivity associated with the name. These regions do not see cars as status symbols, so Toyota prices the Prado appropriately. Toyota does this in smarter, first world countries; in Australia, a base model Prado there would cost roughly a similar amount to where the highest trim PPV(Fortuner/MonteroSport) would cost and the lineup builds up from there. The Prado would cost nowhere near 2x the highest end PPV even in its most luxurious trim.
I wonder which route Mitsubishi PH will take. Since the Pajero will be built in Thailand, I hope they take the second option. Or like the old Pajero (it was overpriced but not to the same degree as the Prado), it could be somewhere in between.
