Next-Gen Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Spotted: Bigger, Bolder, and Electrified

Abu Dhabi : The new Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is in the works. The aim is for it to debut in the Emirates by 2025. It will have a boxier shape and possibly options for hybrid or electric power.

• Spy shots show it will have a larger, more rugged design.
• It might come in petrol, diesel, and electric variants.
• The new Pajero will be based on the Triton/L200 platform or possibly a new monocoque base.
• It will likely launch in the UAE by the end of 2025.

The UAE’s SUV market may soon welcome an exciting new contender, as it appears that Mitsubishi might be preparing the next-generation Pajero Sport for a global reveal.

This new model has been seen undergoing testing in Europe, and while heavily camouflaged, it offers some clear clues about the upgrades in design, size, and technology.

Mitsubishi has not yet officially confirmed the details, but the latest spy shots and reports suggest that the new Pajero Sport will see upgrades in styling, capability, and possibly options for powertrain.

What the Spy Shots Reveal

There have been some recent images showing a test vehicle with key visual cues that hint at a bigger and boxier Pajero Sport. Some of the features of the prototype are:

• A front profile that is more upright and bold.
• Large horizontal front grille with slats.
• Sleek LED headlamps.
• Tall, vertical LED tail lights that look like those on the 2025 Nissan Patrol.
• Larger glass surfaces for better visibility.
• Black alloy wheels and wide stance.

With these updates, it is clear the manufacturer is pushing toward a more premium and rugged SUV look that fits family use and off-road needs.

Platform and Powertrain Possibilities

While Mitsubishi has not said anything on specs, early reports suggest two platform possibilities. The first points to the Triton/L200 pickup truck’s ladder-frame base, a setup that is very tough. Others suggest they could shift toward a monocoque chassis, which would mean better comfort on the road without space compromise.

Under the hood, the Pajero Sport may have three options: petrol, diesel, and a fully electric version. If this is true, it could become one of the few models in its class that offer internal combustion and electric choices. These choices would appeal to buyers in UAE who want either traditional power or cleaner options.

Expected Launch Timeline and Rivals

Mitsubishi has not provided a confirmed launch date, but most sources point it will be revealed globally sometime in 2025. The UAE market will likely get the new Pajero Sport by the end of next year.

The SUV, when it arrives, will compete with the Toyota Fortuner, which is also due for a complete redesign by late 2025. This sets up an interesting battle between two trusted names in the mid-size SUV market.

Final Thoughts

The upcoming Pajero Sport seems to be a major update, not just a facelift. The new design, potential upgrades in powertrain, and changes on platform mean Mitsubishi is intentional about raising its game.
