Mitsubishi has added yet another beast of a vehicle when the 2016 Montero was launched in the Philippines earlier this year. The new Montero has both the class and the power that perfectly fits your fast-paced lifestyle.
Beastly Engine
Kicking off its list of features, 2016 Montero Sport is the first PPV (Pickup-based Passenger Vehicle) to be Euro-4 compliant. Its CO2 emission goes as low as 200g/km (the lowest its class has yet produced). This means cleaner emissions and better engine performance, making the Montero a more environment friendly SUV. Under the hood, you’ll find a whopping 2.4L turbo diesel engine paired with a monstrous maximum power of 179hp and a maximum torque of 430nm — ready to compete with other SUVs in the market.
Less Gas = More Road
Montero Sport opts for less fuel consumption with its regenerative braking system, which increases the fuel efficiency up to 17% compared to other PPVs. This means more cost-efficient drives and bang for your buck.
Suited Up
Montero Sport doesn’t just perform to impress, it looks the part too.
The Mitsubishi vehicle has also been suited-up, with lean headlights featuring LED daytime running lights, and complemented with similarly lean but vertically mounted taillights. The SUV features the first Mitsubishi in the country to be mounted with a dynamic shield grille, giving it an aggressive yet classy touch.
Variants
The GT4WD is priced at Php 1,998,000 while the base model GLS 2WD currently sells for around Php 1,500,000. Both have similar engine performance in terms of engine displacement, power, torque and turning radius. Choosing the former might give you a better economical advantage in the long run because it has better city mileage at 8.7 and 9.6, highway mileage at 14.7 and 15.9 respectively.
With its strong form factor and even stronger performance, the 2016 Montero Sport has caught the country’s collective attention. This car is perfect for upwardly mobile professionals, weekend warriors, and families alike.
