Mitsubishi’s Montero Sport GT Gets a Few Ugrades

.
October 18, 2017

The Mitsubishi Montero Sport, especially in the top-spec GT Premium variant, has always been considered as one of the more loaded SUVs in the business. For around P2 million, you get goodies like a sunroof, leather, seats, and safety gear like Forward Collision Mitigation, Blind Spot Warning, and Hill Descent Control as standard.

This year, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation adds to this formidable list of features by upgrading the said variant with a few more pieces of kit to provide more safety and convenience. The 2017 Mitsubishi Montero Sport now comes with Ultrasonic Misacceleration Mitigation System and Adaptive Cruise Control.

The former helps prevent parking lot collisions by modulating engine output if the accelerator is accidentally depressed hard while in low speed conditions—in both forward and reverse. This is complemented by audible and visual warnings to alert drivers of impending impact.

The latter, meanwhile, is a driver-assist feature that helps maintain a safe distance between you and the driver in front while you are in cruise control mode. It keeps yu from getting into an accident while allowing you to have a stress-free drive.

Apart from the extensive list of safety kit, the 2017 Montero Sport GT still comes with a 2.4-liter inline-four cylinder diesel with MIVEC. It is the only diesel with the vaunted variable valve timing to help provide more power and greater fuel efficiency.  It still boasts a class-leading 8-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shifters.

The interior gets more luxurious piano black finish and all the aforementioned goodies to boot. Plus, the tried-and-tested Mitsubishi Super Select 4WD-II all-wheel drive system allows drivers to venture on various road surfaces fuss free, all with the twist of a simple drive mode selector switch.

The 2017 Mitsubishi Montero Sport is now available at a suggested retail price of P2,058,000.
