The new Mitsubishi Pajero will be a potent plugin powerhouse, with the reborn icon to pump out some 285kW, outpunching the Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series and Lexus LX, according to new reports. The new model is now allbut confirmed, with the brand globally revealing plans for a newlarge SUV, andMitsubishiin the USA trademarking the nameplate "Montero", which is what the Pajero was called Stateside. The model is expected to borrow from the allnew Nissan Patrol, and will reportedly launch as a 2027 model year. And now US media is forecasting just what will be powering it, withCarScoopsclaiming the new model will use a version of theOutlander's2.4litreplugin petrol powertrain, albeit with the kilowatts dialled right up. While the OutlanderPHEVdraws135kWand245Nmfrom itspetrol engine, twin electric motors and20kWh battery, US media points to the Pajero offering aLC300humbling 285kW, presumably from a combination of engine tuning and more powerful electric motors. That figure outpunches the 227kW offered by the LandCruiser, though there's no word yet on how the Mitsubishi's torque will compare to the 700Nm on offer from theToyota. Increased power outputs will reportedly join properoffroadkit like front and rear locking edifferentials, and dynamic torque vectoring, while the plugin powertrain will give the Pajero the unique ability to travel in fullEVmode offroad, as well as genuinely compete on the capability front. As reported, Mitsubishi in Australia recently toldCarsGuidethat a largeSUVis coming, though the brand globally is yet to confirm details of what to expect. Mitsubishi Motor Corporation announced its line up for the next couple of years and under the shroud there s a large SUV in there. So the reality is yes, we have publicly announced, effectively, that we are studying a vehicle in that space, Mitsubishi Australia CEO, Shaun Westcott, has toldCarsGuide. I cannot tell you what it is, what it looks like, what the powertrain is, whether there s a ladder frame, whether there s monocoque. I cannot give you any of that information other than to say that Mitsubishi has announced that we are working on a large SUV.". Asked whether the brand in Australia would retain the Pajero nameplate for a future large SUV, Mr Westcott told us he'd "love to". "I have put up my hand and said we would love to have one because it's a very valuable nameplate, because it is a fantastic product, because it's a halo product," Mr Westcott said. "For all of the above reasons, we would love to have one here.". Mitsubishi Outlander 2023 review: PlugIn Hybrid EV. Hyundai Venue 2021 review: Hyundai's cheapest model is an SUV?.
