The CarsGuide Podcast

Is the Mitsubishi Pajero making a comeback? All signs point to a return for the iconic 4WD wagon, with the Japanese brand even going as far as to tease a new large SUV as part of its line-up of next-generation models. Better yet, Mitsubishi has recently trademarked 'Montero' in the US, where the Pajero was previously known by that name.

So, what is the rumour mill saying about what to expect from the next-gen Pajero? In this Newscast, CarsGuide Managing Editor Tim Nicholson, News Editor Dom Tripolone and Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton gather together to discuss the future of the famous series, including all of the hot tips.

Undoubtedly, the headline is the anticipated new Pajero isn't expected to be like its predecessor, with its diesel engine swapped up for a petrol-electric plug-in hybrid powertrain in a sign of the times. In fact, the rugged ladder-frame chassis could make way for a car-like monocoque platform.
