Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Unveils 2009 Montero Sport 4×4

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines unveils officially the 2009 Montero Sport 4×4 as an additional model to reinforce its current SUV line up. Mitsubishi’s strong heritage in sports utility vehicles (SUVs) plus the experience it learns from the grueling Dakar rallies are testimonies that the Montero Sport is one remarkable SUV.

The Montero Sport’s urban styling is a sharp departure from the boxy styling of conventional 4×4s. Its muscular presence and high-ground clearance projects an image of rugged durability, yet the sleek profile hints at its passenger-car like performance. Though large in dimensions, it still offers nimble handling and parking maneuverability. Read more

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Unveils All-New Lancer EX

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation takes the compact sedan market to a higher level of excitement with the introduction of its all-new Mitsubishi Lancer EX 2008 launched late this month.

From the outside, the Lancer EX is truly exciting and aggressive. Jet fighter-inspired front grille and slim headlight design contributes to the sporty character and confident stance. The windshield curves steeply forward to a low beltline and looking at the side, one would notice slimmer windows but surprisingly, the view from the inside is good making it an easy car to drive around even in tight spaces. The fenders also has subtle bulges to accommodate the GT-A and GT’s 10-spoke class leading 18-inch rims fitted with 215 / 45 profile tires. Rear end styling is equally daunting to drivers who have been overtaken as they will see a high back with ‘puckered brow’ tail lamps. Complementing the new body shape are standard aero parts like front airdam, side skirts, rear skirts, and rear spoiler. Dimension wise, the new Lancer EX has grown to 4570 mm long, 1760 mm wide, and 1490 mm tall. (compared to its predecessor which is 4535mm x 1695mm x 1445mm) Wheelbase was also extended to 2635 mm over the previous 2600mm.
