All-new Mitsubishi Pajero caught testing overseas: Can it challenge the Toyota Fortuner?
The next generation of the Mitsubishi Pajero has been spotted testing in Southern Europe. (autoevolution) Notify me The Mitsubishi Pajero was one of the most iconic nameplates in the full-size SUV space, and it appears to be making a comeback after being discontinued for nearly half a decade. A heavily camouflaged test mule has been spotted on the roads in Southern Europe, and it is expected to bring back the moniker in a revamped package with an updated design, fresh interiors, and several powertrain options. Mitsubishi introduced the Pajero to the Indian market around 2002 as part of a joint venture with Hindustan Motors, which was responsible for its assembly on our shores. In 2012, the joint venture brought in the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, a mid-size version of the SUV. Despite its popularity among enthusiasts, Mitsubishi discontinued the ladder-frame SUV in India in 2020 due to increasingly stringent emissions regulations. In 2021, the Pajero was taken off the global market altogether. Also Read : Mahindra XUV700 facelift spotted for the first time The Japanese manufacturer is now gearing up to roll out the next-gen Pajero, and it will likely arrive in India, taking up competition with the Toyota Fortuner. The test mule seems to be nearly production-ready, and the final model is expected to debut before the end of 2025. Mitsubishi Pajero: Design The next-gen Pajero retains the characteristic boxy profile with a tall stance and an upright front end. The next-gen Pajero retains its boxy silhouette from the previous models while carrying forward a range of exterior design tweaks. The latest spy shots showcase a tall stance with an upright front end that features vertically stacked LED DRLs flanking a wide grille. The SUV further features a large skid plate, a clamshell bonnet design, and updated bumpers. The new Pajero will ride on a revamped set of alloys, which are likely to be 19-inch or 20-inch options. The rear end is reminiscent of the Nissan Patrol with a slim, rectangular rear window, connected LED taillights, and an oversized skid plate that doubles up as the rear diffuser. Also Read : Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupe arrives in India on August 12. Here's all you should know… Mitsubishi Pajero: Interior The interior details have not been revealed yet, but the Pajero is expected to bring a modern, updated cabin with new upholstery and a broad range of creature comforts. Features may include ventilated seats, a larger infotainment and gauge cluster setup. Mitsubishi is additionally expected to equip the upcoming SUV with an ADAS suite of safety features. Mitsubishi Pajero: Engine and performance Mitsubishi may offer the upcoming Pajero with a range of engine options, including turbo-diesel and plug-in hybrid units. The choice of powertrain offered within the next-gen Mitsubishi Pajero may likely come down to the SUV's platform. If it returns in its ladder-frame guise, it is likely to be built on the Mitsubishi Triton's chassis and will carry the 2.4-litre turbodiesel engine that makes up to 201 bhp. Few reports suggest that the upcoming Pajero may be based on the Outlander's CMF-C/D monocoque architecture. In this case, the SUV is likely to be equipped with a plug-in hybrid powertrain, delivering up to 302 bhp. Check out Upcoming Cars in India 2025, Best SUVs in India.

Mahindra XUV700 zooms past 3 lakh sales milestone
The XUV700 is one of the most successful products that Mahindra has launched in India. Check Offers Mahindra and Mahindra has announced that the XUV700 has clocked 3 lakh sales in the Indian market. The SUV was first launched in India back in 2021, and it still garners a strong demand, which is quite impressive as the brand has not yet launched any sort of facelift for it. Back in March, the brand crossed the 2.5 lakh sales mark and announced a few offers, but that has not happened this time. Mahindra XUV700 facelift under works Mahindra's popular XUV700 is getting its first facelift, and spy shots show prototypes testing on India's roads for the first time. The revamped SUV, expected in early 2026, focuses on style updates and enhanced features, with no major mechanical changes anticipated. Exterior Overhaul The facelifted XUV700 receives a redesigned front end, including new circular LED headlights paired with distinctive LED daytime running lights. The grille has been reimagined with slanted vertical slats, and the front bumper gets refreshed styling. While the current camo doesn't fully reveal rear styling, it's likely to include subtle bumper refinements and a sleek LED light bar. Camouflaged wheels hide any changes there, though updates in alloy design are probable. As seen above, the XUV700 will boast a new front fascia. Interior & Tech Upgrades Inside, the facelift is expected to bring in a triple-screen layout—comprising a driver display, central infotainment, and passenger touchscreen—borrowed from Mahindra's electric XEV 9e. Enhanced tech features are also likely to include a digital key, an auto-parking system and an upgraded Harman Kardon sound system with Dolby Atmos, among others. Also Read : Next-Gen Mahindra Bolero Neo spotted testing, India launch expected soon Mechanically, the facelifted XUV700 will retain its current engines: the 2.0 L turbo-petrol (≈197 bhp, 380 Nm) and 2.2 L diesel (182 bhp, 420–450 Nm depending on gearbox). Transmission options will remain a 6‑speed manual or torque-converter automatic. AWD configurations are likely to continue, and although rumours suggest a plug-in hybrid may be on the horizon, it's probably not part of this update Testing mules surfaced in June 2025, hinting at a debut later this year or in early 2026. Some suggest Mahindra might even rebrand the model as "XUV7XO" upon launch. However, given the cosmetic-only scope of this update, substantial increases in price aren't expected—more a mid-cycle revamp than a full redesign.
