While we're still mostly in the dark about the revived off-road-capable SUV, Mitsubishi has been steadily teasing information as the reveal draws closer. The newest teaser was released on a dedicated website for the new Pajero and confirms the return of the distinctive triple-meter gauges.
The gauges, collectively called the Multi Meter, aren't a direct copy-and-paste of the original. Instead, Mitsubishi brought them into the modern era by moving them to a fully digital format. The trio of gauges provides real-time information, including the altitude, compass heading, ambient temperature, pitch and roll angles, as well as left-right torque distribution. Whether the gauges are built into the instrument panel, infotainment screen, or a dedicated third screen is unclear, but we're holding out hope for a dedicated unit.
