After Europe and Japan, Mitsubishi Motors has now decided to launch the Pajero Final Edition model in Australia, marking the end of the SUV in the market. We already know that the company has decided to stop the production of the Mitsubishi Pajero globally in 2021, due to declining sales figures and the carmaker's decision to focus more on the Crossover market. However, to commemorate the retirement of the iconic SUV, the Japanese carmaker is launching the Pajero Final Edition in the markets that currently sell the SUVs, and it will be sold in limited numbers.
In 2018, the carmaker similarly launched a Pajero Final Edition in Europe, followed by one on Japan in 2019
