Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) officially launches the new Montero Sport 2020. The new model is designed with a more robust powerful appearance providing the vehicle a tougher look while complemented with a refreshed interior that delivers a luxurious and comfortable feel. The new Mitsubishi Montero Sport is equipped with advance features both for convenience and safety; making each driving experience fun and worry-free. With the combined enhancements, the new Mitsubishi Montero Sport is designed to elevate one's journey to new heights.

The brand's signature Dynamic Shield front view design concept has been further evolved on the new Montero Sport, emphasizing the sense of wideness with the headlights continuing from the front grille and the combination lamps at the bumper corners. The higher bonnet of the vehicle exhibits a deeper front face, while a more solid, powerful chrome part design projects a more refined, sophisticated appearance.

Furthermore, the 2.4L MIVEC turbo diesel and an 8-speed automatic transmission delivers excellent environmental and smooth performance. The new model also retains the Super-Select 4WD-II system that delivers optimal traction for all surfaces and confidence-inspiring handling characteristics. With a newly designed switch on 4WD models, the off-road mode elevates all terrain performance and self-extraction capability through the integrated control of engine output, transmission settings and brake power.

Another key feature of the new Montero Sport is the Mitsubishi Remote Control smart phone application which offers a number of functions that facilitate ease of access and added security. The remote control application will send notification to the driver's smartphone to lock the doors via the app when the driver leaves the vehicle with the doors unlocked. Additionally, the Power Tailgate can be opened or closed by smartphone. The tailgate reservation system can be also preset by smartphone anywhere, which enables the driver to open or close the tailgate automatically when he/she approaches or leaves the vehicle.

For added safety, the new Mitsubishi Montero Sport is equipped with several safety features such as Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) functions, Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control, Multi-view camera system that limits blind spots when parking the vehicle, 7 number of airbags for GT 4WD, 6 airbags for GT 2WD, and 2 airbags for the GLS and GLX variants to provide its driver and its passengers peace-of-mind in every travel.
