Mitsubishi Montero Sport

With the successful introduction of the Montero Sport 4×4 models last year, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines is further strengthening its SUV line up with the introduction of the two-wheel drive version, the Montero Sport 2.5 liter GLS 4×2 automatic.  With the introduction of this two-wheel drive variant, the Montero Sport model is now complete as Mitsubishi Motors Philippines aims to get a bigger market share at the competitive and substantial 4×2 SUV segment.

Not only does the Montero Sport 2.5 GLS 4×2 inherit the same basic platform and suspension its 4×4 brother has but it also exhibits class leading ride quality in a mid-sized SUV. This is because of the extensive research and development invested in making sure that the Montero Sport has superior riding comfort than the competition. This is made possible by its front double wishbones with coil springs, and a rear 3-link coil suspension with a long trailing arm design. Both ends of the Montero Sport are also fitted with stabilizer bars to reduce body roll during cornering.

The 4×2 version stands proud like the 4×4 with dimensions measuring 4,695 mm in length, 1,815 mm in width, 1,840 mm tall, and the wheelbase at 2,800 mm. These dimensions equates to a vast interior space that provides a sense of comfort, purpose and safety for the Montero Sport’s 3-row, 7-passenger seating configuration that can also be varied to accommodate the most complex cargo scenario. Talking about the interior, the Montero Sport 2.5 GLS 4×2 gets a black and light grey dashboard accented by silver trims. The inner door trims with bottle holders also get the same accents.  Behind the thick-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel is the instrument cluster with easy to read gauges that illuminates to an amber hue during night time driving. There is also a dealer option steering wheel mounted audio remote that commands the Mitsubishi Motors Audio Design single in-dash CD/MP3/WMA player by JVC with 4-speakers. This audio system can accommodate hands free mobile phone operation thanks to its Bluetooth pairing function. MP3 devices can also be connected via the audio system’s USB, Auxiliary input ports (AUX-IN) or also by Bluetooth pairing.  Other standard equipment are dual air-conditioning with a separate rear aircon control, power side mirrors with one-touch fold function, key cylinder illumination, 2 special keys with built in electronic immobilzer, keyless entry with alarm, and convenience sockets.  Black water resistant fabric seats are also standard for this urban SUV.

The Montero Sport is available in eight colors: Garnet Green Mica*, Claysoil Beige*, Lorenz Blue Mica*, Gemstone Grey Mica, Cool Silver, Sedona Red, Savanna White, and Pyrenese Black and Mitsubishi Motors Philippines will back it up with a 3-year or 100,000 kilometer warranty.
