Mitsubishi is expected to release more details about the Pajero at the reveal, including potentially initial pricing for the car.
The returning Nissan Patrol and Toyota LandCruiser competitor is scheduled to arrive in Australia later this year.
Next week's announcement will give buyers more information about what to expect.
2026 Mitsubishi Pajero details so far
The Pajero will be primarily based on Mitsubishi's Triton ute, riding on a sturdy ladder frame chassis.
It is thought to also employ a 2.4-litre twin-turbo four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 150kW and 470Nm in the Triton.
This could be matched with a six-speed automatic transmission and will be supported by a rugged 'S-AWC' four-wheel drive system.
The off-road ready S-AWC system also found on the Outlander PHEV includes four-wheel braking and torque vectoring.
The Pajero will be offered in the same four trim levels as the Triton, which are the GLX, GLS, Exceed and GSR.
Mitsubishi has further revealed a digital revision of its iconic triple analogue instrument meters found on previous generations of the Pajero.
CarsGuide spied the Pajero undergoing testing in December last year, with the prototype showing off a blocky exterior and horizontal front grille design.
When will the 2026 Mitsubishi Pajero launch in Australia?
Mitsubishi has not locked in an official launch date for the Pajero in Australia, but next week's reveal will provide more clues.
The new Pajero was approved for sale in Australia earlier this year, and is expected to arrive Down Under by November.
Buyers can expect firm launch information in the next few weeks.
