Mitsubishi has confirmed the revived Pajero will grow into a multi-segment lineup, with a compact and an even smaller SUV slotting beneath the full-size flagship.mitsubishi says the new pajero will become a three suv familyThe flagship Pajero was unveiled at its world premiere this week. During the reveal presentation, the two smaller models made brief appearances in the background under covers. Mitsubishi provided no details on either, and neither is coming soon.Both are reportedly much smaller than the range-topper. However, their positioning, powertrains, and launch timing remain undisclosed. Given Mitsubishi's past behaviour and the shape of the vehicles shown, the automaker could be looking to revive models like the Pajero Sport, Pajero Junior, or Pajero Mini.The full-size Pajero is a proper off-roader built on a ladder-frame platform derived from the Triton pickup. It measures 4,920 mm (193.7 inches) long, 1,925 mm (75.8 in) wide, and 1,910 mm (75.2 in) tall, with a 2,870-mm (113.0-in) wheelbase that opens up room for three rows.AdvertisementAdvertisementWhat remains unclear is how closely the smaller models will follow that formula. Mitsubishi has not said whether the compact and small SUVs will use body-on-frame or unibody construction. A lighter, more efficient architecture could suit the smaller entries, particularly the entry-level model, which appeared notably petite, and Mitsubishi already has extensive crossover experience to draw on.Both additions are expected to pair boxy styling with some off-road credentials.mitsubishi says the new pajero will become a three suv familyAccording to Mitsubishi, the Pajero will eventually reach more than 100 countries and regions, with the Montero name used in some markets. North America, however, is not on the initial list.The open question is how much of the flagship's rugged character carries down. Whether the smaller derivatives retain enough off-road ability to justify the badge remains to be seen.Become an AutoGuide insider.
