Mitsubishi is reportedly preparing to unveil the all-new Pajero on September 2, according to Japanese publication BestCar.
The reveal is expected to take place across multiple markets simultaneously, maximizing publicity for the iconic nameplate.
The new Pajero will ride on the same ladder-frame architecture as the Triton pickup, with a tweaked suspension setup.
Spy shots indicate a boxy, aggressive design similar in size to the Lexus GX, positioning it against the Nissan Patrol and Toyota Land Cruiser.
Powertrain Options
The range is expected to launch with a 2.4-liter twin-turbo diesel four-cylinder, producing 201 hp and 347 lb-ft (470 Nm) of torque, lifted from the Triton.
A hybrid variant is also in the works, potentially borrowing the Outlander PHEV's layout with a 2.4-liter gas engine, two electric motors, and a lithium-ion battery for 248 hp and 332 lb-ft (450 Nm).
Pricing in Japan is rumored to fall between 5 million and 7 million yen ($30,500 - $42,700).
Sales are expected to follow shortly after the reveal.
