2011 Mitsubishi Montero Sport [ARCHIVED]

[Expatio]

Nice Scoop JPG111 (again).

Not sure why the 4x2 auto 'camp' are complaining.


For no (or little) extra charge the 4x2 auto gets:

• Massively More powerfull engine (178PS and 350NM)
• Multi Media with touch sceen etc
• Tailpipe finisher

The GLS 4x4 manual does not fare as good:

• No new engine
• Multi Media with touch sceen etc
• Tailpipe finisher

I guess the magnesium paddle shifters are just for the GT-V variant

Salamat JPG11. Corrected now to avoid confusion .

But my point is the 4x2 is still a major upgrade; especially in power

Although the GTV gets the same engine power as 4x2; it is not such a big power difference from outgoing 3.2.

Hence the extras (grill, 5sp paddle, & rear spoiler) on the GTV to compensate.

* ulan_araw, engine upgrade on Montero GLX will be done in the 3rd quarter of 2011.

i do agree with you sir Expatio. i think the current 4 speed Automatic still does a good job. if it was able to handle the 3.2 4M41 pretty well in INVECS-II(Montero Sport) and Non-INVECS-II(Strada), then it should for the 2.5 4D56 VGT since the power and (especially the) torque stats are not too far away.

and since you have a clearer picture of what to expect, i think you are probably having sleepless nights...

Parang mas maganda parin yung isang style ng spoiler.

in a way, VGTs are really designed for ATs immediate response and engine power improvement.. avoiding the turbo lag whereas in MT, you can manually control the rpm to let the turbo kicks in

thats why all monty MT remains the same - 4x2 and 4x4

Am looking forward alright, Ian. It will be my first car in The Philippines. I have 2 OLD (old but nice) RHD cars back home which I better sell now that I am a resident here.

A bit off topic, but here they are:
1999 SL320 V6

-- +1, TAMA! ...pero iba pa rin talaga acceleration response ng w/ VGT esp kung MT dahil mas magaan tranny...

[sorry18]

bitin naman mitsu if ever 4 speed pa ang GLS A/T and about that..

5vs4 speed =Better gaz mileage + more speed.

-- IMHO in the near near future it will be 5 AT invecs II na rin. If you can't wait sir, try the VGT 2.5, yun 5 AT na.

Sir ask ko lang if the leather interior will still wrap the seats of the gt-v? wala kasing namemention eh, T.y.

All the accessories standard on the 2010 Montero SE were retained po. 8-way power leather seats, HID hlamps, hybrid type LSD, auto climate aircon, etc.

[zix888]

Thanks sir expatio. I am getting sana the se, kaya i am really thinking if gt-v will be better. I like the 4m41 so far, medyo me drag lang siya sa 1st gear(08 gls 4x4) kaya i think 5 speed will be a good change kaso 4d56 na pala ang ipapalit nila. Alam naman natin na less ang cost ng 4d56 compared to 4m41 kaya i am really looking for good features pa na upgrade nila mula sa natipid nila since same price sya sa old se.

Hello guys,

My SA just called, sabi nila (he was quoting his manager) ONLY automatic transmission variance (4x4 AT and 4x2 AT) will be launched this February. Further, he states that those are the ONLY variance that will have the VGT.

I’m opting kasi for the GLX, sabi niya 2011 4x2 MT will be the same (specs and all, not even a new grill, year lang ang difference) as last year’s. Can anyone confirm this? I would really appreciate any comments on this soonest, kasi meron na daw sila nung color na gusto ko.

sir, for the mean time 4x2 MT Montero will remain unchanged. wala babaguhin. although ang position ng MMPC is to introduce the VGT on the AT variants muna. we hope that within the year GLX 4x2 MT will also sport the 2.5 VGT engine. for the 4x4 MT... it's a 2.5 non-VGT engine but will have the 3-MID Interface (NAVI and TPMS is integrated) and the tailpipe finisher.

[nocturnalwasabi]

mga sirs, eto lang po ang mga spec change sa 2011 montero on all variants plus the tailpipe finisher. nothing more, nothing less.
for internal consumption lang sana ng MMPC itong doc na ito. but i guess you guys deserves the info.

[SRGuy]

Sir nocturnalwasabi,

We can't see the doc... or is it just me?
