The company confirmed the Pajero will borrow its bones from the Triton pickup, but with model-specific tweaks.
The chassis is engineered to deliver high road-holding performance while suppressing unwanted body movement and vibrations over rough or uneven roads.
Comfort and Control
The aim was comfort on long hauls, fitting the cross-country brief of the SUV.
The Pajero will also feature Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC), a vehicle dynamics system already available in high-spec Triton trims.
Drivers can choose between RWD, full-time 4WD, a locked center differential, and low range with a locked diff.

The system runs seven selectable Terrain Drive Modes: Normal, Eco, Gravel, Snow, Mud, Sand, and Rock.
Mitsubishi promises "safe, secure driving across a wide range of weather and road conditions, while also offering a refined, comfortable ride."
Teaser Campaign and Nameplate
This latest look continues a steady drip of teasers on a dedicated website counting down to the autumn reveal.
Mitsubishi has already shown glimpses of the exterior and interior, including the boxy silhouette, T-shaped LEDs, and a digital take on the dashboard-mounted multi-information gauge pod.
The automaker also held a private customer preview, lifting the covers for a select few.
