Verified event
Mitsubishi Pajero Sport has been taken out of the Australian line-up after the model failed to meet updated Australian Design Rules that came into force on 1 March 2025. Australian reporting links the decision to the new autonomous emergency braking requirements, and says Mitsubishi judged the cost of re-engineering the ageing model for the local rules was not commercially viable. The available evidence supports a local market withdrawal, not a confirmed end to the nameplate globally. 1457101214
By 2026, the evidence points to run-out supply rather than normal replenishment in Australia. CarExpert’s model and pricing pages, together with later sales reporting, indicate the Pajero Sport was still appearing in local records during 2026, but the supplied material does not confirm exact stock levels, variant-by-variant availability or the precise point at which Australian supply will finish. 4691113
Our take
In our view, the Pajero Sport case shows how a regulatory change can shorten the commercial life of a lower-volume model once it no longer justifies redesign costs. The evidence supports a picture of a model kept alive by pre-ordered stock after the Australian deadline, which makes the 2026 presence look like a run-out phase rather than a conventional ongoing supply cycle. 145713
One possible implication is that the Australian market is seeing a clear split between local compliance and broader international availability. In our view, that matters because the Pajero Sport continuing elsewhere suggests Mitsubishi has not ended the model globally, even though the Australian version has moved to a finite stock situation. Local timing and impact remain unconfirmed, so any reading of the remaining supply should stay cautious. 49111315
