■ When Does It Reach Saudi Arabia? And Why the GCC Version May Differ

Mitsubishi has not yet officially announced when the Pajero 2027 will reach Saudi Arabia or any GCC country, nor its regional specs or price. The rollout begins in Thailand, followed by Japan and Australia by the end of March 2027, with expansion to roughly 100 countries planned from fiscal 2027 — the GCC is expected to be part of that wider rollout.

An important point many overlook: the confirmed 204hp diesel is the launch engine for markets like Thailand, Japan, and Australia. GCC markets, which have historically run on petrol engines, are widely expected to receive a different, petrol-powered version instead — possibly a 3.0L V6 MIVEC petrol engine familiar from earlier Pajero and Montero generations sold in the Gulf, according to several specialist outlets. This means today's confirmed power and torque figures may not literally apply to the version that eventually reaches Saudi Arabia.

The honest takeaway: the Pajero is entering a market Toyota and Nissan have dominated for decades, with an impressive on-paper torque figure and a remarkable Dakar Rally record — but the real verdict has to wait until the actual GCC-spec version arrives with its real specs and real price.

■ FAQ

Is the Pajero 2027 available to buy in Saudi Arabia now?

No. It was globally revealed on September 2, 2026, launching first in Thailand, then Japan and Australia. No arrival date or price for Saudi Arabia or the GCC has been announced yet.

What's the confirmed Pajero 2027 engine?

A 2.4L turbo-diesel producing 204 hp and 480 Nm, paired with a new 8-speed automatic — this is the global launch engine. The expected GCC version may differ (likely petrol).

Is this the same as the old Pajero Sport?

No. The Pajero 2027 fully replaces the Pajero Sport and carries the 'Pajero' name alone, without the 'Sport' suffix — a clear signal of intent to restore the name to its original flagship status, not just an updated variant.

What's available now if I like the idea but don't want to wait?

The Land Cruiser GXR3, Patrol SE Platinum City, Jetour G700 Flagship, and Haval H9 Full Option are all available today at AlRomaih Cars with body-on-frame chassis and genuine 4WD.

■ Conclusion

The Pajero's return is a genuine event in the off-road SUV world — a 44-year legacy, an authentic ladder-frame chassis, and a torque figure that beats many rivals' published numbers. But honesty requires saying it plainly: there's no price, no confirmed Saudi arrival date, and not even final confirmation of which engine the GCC will get. For anyone who wants a body-on-frame off-roader today, the alternatives are already sitting at AlRomaih Cars.
