Mitsubishi is resurrecting a legend, Bentley just crowned a new power king, Australia hit a landmark month for EVs, and there’s a consumer warning worth sticking on the fridge. Let’s get to it.Mitsubishi Pajero is back for 2027, and it’s aiming highCarExpert reports the Pajero is officially coming back in 2027 as a large, off-road-focused SUV—and it won’t be bargain-bin. The revived lineup has been detailed for Australia, with pricing positioned upmarket and trims mapped out ahead of launch. Over at Motor1, Mitsubishi also teased smaller Pajero-badged models—a compact and a small SUV—suggesting a full family rather than a lone halo car.If you ever hustled the old Pajero over corrugations (I last did a rough, rutted forestry track north of Noosa a few years back), you’ll remember its blend of stout ladder-frame feel and easygoing manners. The new one sounds like it’s being pitched exactly where families who tow, tour, and tackle sand want it—just expect the sticker to reflect that.What we know (and what to watch) Positioning: Large off-road SUV, priced to reflect flagship intent. Lineup: Australian range outlined early; more detail promised closer to launch. Expansion: Compact and small Pajero-branded SUVs teased to broaden appeal. My hunch: Expect strong towing credentials and a comfort-first cabin, given where the market has moved. Program Status Today Segment Key Takeout Mitsubishi Pajero (2027) Confirmed, lineup/pricing direction detailed (CarExpert) Large off-road SUV Icon returns with upmarket pricing and family-duty focus “Smaller” Pajero models Teased (Motor1) Compact & small SUVs Brand stretch to capture urban and light-adventure buyers Geely Emgrand L EM-i PHEV + 2 SUVs Confirmed for Australia (CarExpert) PHEV sedan + SUVs Value-forward electrified entries heading Down Under Australia’s August milestone: EVs outsell petrol, diesel, and hybridsAccording to CarExpert’s read of the VFACTS data, August 2026 marked a first: EVs collectively outsold petrol, diesel, and hybrids in Australia. Let that sink in. A country that loves its utes and wide-open distances just handed battery power the monthly crown.I’ve noticed the tipping point on the ground, too. On a recent airport dash—heater on, podcast humming—the freeway fast chargers had a queue at 7 a.m. The mainstream has moved; now the question is infrastructure keeping pace through summer road-trip season.Why it matters Choice explosion: More body styles, more price points; you don’t need a luxury badge to go electric anymore. Fleet momentum: Company-car policies are feeding the upswing. Confidence boost: CarExpert also notes a string of affordable Chinese EVs scoring five-star safety ratings locally, which is huge for shoppers who were on the fence.Geely’s Emgrand L EM-i PHEV sedan locked for Australia (with two SUVs)CarExpert says Geely will bring the Emgrand L EM-i PHEV sedan to Australia, alongside two new SUVs. That’s notable because plug-in sedans with real-world range at friendly pricing are rare here. If they get the basics right—snappy infotainment, sensible charging cable storage, and ride comfort on coarse chip—this could be a compelling commuter that also handles a Blue Mountains weekend without stress.Bentley Torcal: Crewe’s most powerful production car yetMotor1 reports the Torcal is now the most powerful production Bentley ever. That’s a statement with weight, given the W12 swan songs we’ve waved off recently. I’ve driven a few of those big-torque Bentleys on sodden British B-roads; what always stunned me was how the power was delivered—effortless, hushed, like a tidal push. If the Torcal tops that, we’re looking at a grand tourer with a mean streak. Expect it to sit at the very top of Bentley’s food chain and to make fast work of Alpine passes—or a very posh school run.Recall watch: Subaru OutbackCarExpert flags a Subaru Outback recall. Details will vary by build date and market, but here’s what you should do now: Check your VIN against Subaru Australia’s recall lookup or contact your dealer. Book the fix promptly—recall work is free. Pay attention to symptoms mentioned in the notice (warning lights, unusual noises, or performance quirks) and note them for your service advisor.For what it’s worth, Outbacks I’ve run on gravel and washboard have been impressively composed; recalls are part of modern car life—just get the remedy done and carry on.Consumer alert: FTC warns about AI-made fake dealership websitesCarscoops relays an FTC warning that scammers are spinning up convincing, AI-built dealership sites to steal deposits and personal info. The fakes look slick—inventory pages, “about us” blurbs, even fake live chats.How to protect yourself when shopping online Verify the address: Cross-check on Google Maps and with the manufacturer’s official dealer locator. Call a known-good number: Use a phone number listed on the brand’s official site, not just the site you found. Be wary of “too good to be true” pricing: Unreal offers, pressure to wire money, or odd payment platforms are red flags. Ask for a real-time video walkaround with the salesperson showing today’s newspaper or a unique gesture. Never send a deposit without a signed purchase order and dealer license details you can verify with your state/territory authority.The road aheadThe return of the Pajero signals a fresh round of tough, family-capable SUVs; the Torcal shows old-world luxury has a very modern pulse; and Australia’s EV moment is no longer hypothetical—it’s happened. Just keep your recall letters and online car shopping wits about you, and you’ll navigate this shifting landscape just fine.FAQWhen will the new Mitsubishi Pajero arrive?CarExpert points to 2027 for the Pajero’s return, with the Australian lineup direction already outlined.Are EVs really outselling combustion cars in Australia now?For August 2026, yes—CarExpert’s read of VFACTS shows EVs outpaced petrol, diesel, and hybrids for the month.What exactly is the Bentley Torcal?Per Motor1, it’s Bentley’s most powerful production car to date, a new flagship positioned above the rest of the range.There’s a Subaru Outback recall—what should I do?Check your VIN with Subaru, book the free fix, and follow any interim safety guidance provided in the recall notice.How do I spot a fake dealership website?Verify via the automaker’s dealer locator, confirm the physical address, call a vetted phone number, and avoid deposits on “too good to be true” deals. ## Related Store Context - [AutoWin Blog & News](https://www.autowin.com/blogs/news): Automotive news and fitment guides - [AutoWin Store Index](https://www.autowin.com/llms.txt): Full product catalog for AI agents - [Agent Instructions](https://www.autowin.com/agents.md): Commerce protocol and Shop skill - Reviews verified on [AutiVex](https://autivex.com/business/autowin-com): AutoWin customer ratings
