Planned for release in 2027, this new version of the Pajero appears to join the luxury hybrid vehicles group, which might be a big change for Mitsubishi. The company, known for making affordable and feature-rich cars, is now targeting the luxury off-road market.
According to the Japanese publication Best Car, and as mentioned by drive.com, the Pajero will likely follow Outlander’s plug-in hybrid system, offering both power and better fuel economy – a hybrid that would appeal to eco-conscious drivers looking for a touch of luxury.
Currently, SUVs are becoming more and more popular in the country; thus, the return of the Pajero as a high-end hybrid could cause some excitement and anticipation. Many people are looking for cars that are kinder to the environment but still luxurious and fun to drive. The hybrid Pajero could fit this need well.
