The Pajero 2026 wait is almost over — and used ones are holding value
The all-new 2027 Mitsubishi Pajero has been officially revealed, ending a production gap that started in 2021. If you’ve been searching “pajero 2026,” this is the car you were waiting for — Mitsubishi just pushed the timeline to 2027. While you wait for UAE showroom dates, used Pajeros are available right now on CarSwitch. A 2020 model lists for around AED 90,000 (CarSwitch listings data, July 2026), which is roughly half what it cost new. Here’s everything confirmed so far, and what makes sense if you want a Pajero today.
The short version
- The 2027 Pajero is real — body-on-frame, V6 expected, no UAE price yet.
- Used 2020 Pajeros on CarSwitch list for around AED 90,000 — about half of what they cost new.
- A 2022 model sits near AED 92,000, barely more than a 2020 — strong value hold.
- If you want a V6 SUV now, browse Pajero prices in the UAE and skip the wait.
What’s confirmed about the 2027 Pajero
Drive Arabia broke the news: the fifth-generation Pajero is a proper body-on-frame SUV, not a crossover. That matters. It keeps the ladder-frame DNA that made the Pajero a favourite for desert driving in the UAE.
Mitsubishi hasn’t released full specs for the Gulf yet. Here’s what we know so far:
- Platform: New body-on-frame architecture, shared with the next-gen Triton pickup.
- Engine: A V6 petrol is expected. A diesel and a plug-in hybrid may follow in some markets.
- Design: Boxier than the outgoing model, with a more upright windshield and squared-off wheel arches.
- Tech: A larger infotainment screen, updated ADAS safety features, and a redesigned cabin.
- UAE availability: Not confirmed yet. Global production is expected late 2027.
No UAE pricing has been announced. The outgoing Pajero had an MSRP of AED 175,000. The new one will almost certainly cost more.
How the new Pajero compares to the outgoing model
The fourth-generation Pajero had an incredibly long run — it was sold in the UAE from 2006 right through to 2022 with only minor updates. The 3.5L or 3.8L V6 petrol was the standard engine here.
The 2027 model is a clean-sheet design. It’s wider, has a longer wheelbase, and brings modern driver-assist systems that the old car simply didn’t have. If you liked the old Pajero’s off-road ability but wanted a more current interior, this is what Mitsubishi is answering with.
That said, nobody knows the UAE-spec engine output or pricing yet. Until Mitsubishi Gulf confirms details, any comparison is incomplete.
What used Pajeros cost right now on CarSwitch
There’s no shortage of Pajeros on the used car market in Dubai. The interesting thing is how the newer models hold their value. A 2020 Pajero lists for around AED 90,000. A 2022 — the final production year — sits near AED 92,000. That’s barely a difference for two extra years.
“The 2020 and 2022 Pajeros are almost the same price on our platform right now. Buyers know it’s a discontinued model with a loyal following — that keeps values tight.”

Older models drop more noticeably. A 2017 Pajero lists for around AED 42,500, and a 2015 sits near AED 33,000. Once you go past the eight-year mark, prices soften — but the cars keep running. Most 2017 models on CarSwitch show about 123,000 km on the clock.
| Model Year | Asking Price (AED) | Odometer (km) | Saving vs New |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 32,574 | 165,550 | 81% |
| 2017 | 42,500 | 122,588 | 76% |
| 2018 | 56,990 | 105,000 | 67% |
| 2020 | 89,990 | 65,699 | 49% |
| 2022 | 91,993 | 64,921 | 47% |
The 2020 is the sweet spot if you want low kilometres and a meaningful saving — about half the original price, with roughly 66,000 km on the odometer. Every Pajero listed on CarSwitch is inspection-verified before it goes live.
2020 Pajero: AED 89,990 — 49% less than the AED 175,000 new price
2022 Pajero: AED 91,993 — 47% less than new, with 64,921 km
2017 Pajero: AED 42,500 — 76% less than new, with 122,588 km
Should you wait for the 2027 or buy used now?
If you need an SUV in the next 12 months, waiting doesn’t make much sense. The 2027 Pajero won’t hit UAE showrooms until late 2027 at the earliest, and first-year pricing is likely to be higher than the outgoing model’s AED 175,000 MSRP.
A used 2020 or 2022 Pajero gives you the same proven 3.8L V6, the same body-on-frame capability, and a price around AED 90,000. That’s a lot of SUV for the money — especially compared to competitors. A used Nissan Patrol of similar age lists for around AED 147,000, more than 60% higher.
If you’re after something more affordable, older Pajeros from 2015–2017 are well under AED 45,000 and still solid runners for daily driving and weekend desert trips.
