The ADME angle

The fact that Mitsubishi Australia was not cut from the development of the new Pajero is a significant advantage for local dealers, as it ensures the vehicle is tailored to the Australian market's specific needs.

This level of involvement in the development process is a testament to the importance of the Australian market to Mitsubishi, and the company's commitment to producing vehicles that meet local customer demands.

What it means for the order bank

Mitsubishi Australia's demands to its Japanese HQ will have a direct impact on the features and specifications of the new Pajero, which will in turn affect the order bank and the types of vehicles that are stocked by dealers.

The new Pajero's development is an opportunity for Mitsubishi to regain market share in the Australian 4WD segment, which has been dominated by other brands in recent years.

Competitor response and market positioning

The launch of the new Pajero will likely prompt a response from competitors in the 4WD segment, as they seek to maintain their market share and position their own vehicles as superior to the Mitsubishi offering.

Mitsubishi dealers can take advantage of this by emphasizing the unique features and benefits of the new Pajero, and highlighting the vehicle's suitability for Australian conditions and customer needs.

Taking action

This week, dealers can start preparing for the launch of the new Pajero by reviewing their stock and ordering processes, and ensuring that their sales teams are fully briefed on the vehicle's features and benefits.
