All-new Mitsubishi Montero Sport coming in 2016 - Inquirer.net

Mitsubishi lost no time in launching its contender in the second round of the midsize SUV wars, launching the all-new Montero Sport (aka Pajero Sport) SUV in Thailand barely two weeks after the Toyota Fortuner was unveiled. The widely popular Montero Sport (at least in the Philippines) goes for a new avant-garde look that fits its upgraded technological content. This is the first full model change of the Montero Sport in seven years, and Mitsubishi decided to go for broke for this second generation. Mitsubishi surrounds the whole thing with satin chrome, and the look is an interesting variation of the more conventional Strada fascia. The new front Mitsubishi calls “Dynamic Shield. The Montero Sport uses a new 2. 4-liter turbodiesel engine with Mitsubishi’s famed Mivec variable valve timing system, a first for the Montero Sport. Also a segment first, and the first for any Mitsubishi, the Montero Sport gets an eight-speed automatic transmission. A new Super-Select 4WD-II system uses electronic controls with an offroad mode and hill descent control. Mitsubishi. Source: motioncars.inquirer.net
