2011 Mitsubishi Montero Sport [ARCHIVED]

[Expatio]

The 2011 Montero Sport has just arrived on our shore (in port). Although it has not been officially announced yet; with information accrued from forum members (via SA) and our insiders we have an almost completed picture.

This is the stuff of 2.5L 178 hp vgt engines, and 5 speed autos, of 350Nm to 400Nm of torque, the engine and gearbox we have been crying out for.

Paddle gear change for those who like some heated driving (or just to show off) is also available.

Traction control together with stability (for the snow in winter) - not confirmed yet (the stability or the snow).

This thread is a continuation of the 2010 MY latter thread posts (which has sort of unintentionally been hijacked by us)

Therefore I would like you to post on the 2011 model here rather than on the 2010 model year thread.


Salamat.

This should be merged with the existing thread and the thread title should be changed to "2nd Gen. Mitsubishi Montero Sport thread"

The photos here are of the 2011 4x4 gls se variant with vgt. It would be great if somebody can confirm that these changes will be applied to the gls variants as well.

As for vgt in all GLS's, according to my SA yes, he is 99% sure it will be. He said he will email me all the specs early next week.

The official press testing day is on the 18th of next month.

That is some 4 weeks away, but I would expect some of us will have delivery before then.

How about the Manual GLX model variant? May pagbabago rin ba?

All models will be 2.5L vgt in line with Thailand's 2011MY introduced last week.

Thanks for the reply. I just spoke with my sales agent. He said they are expecting units within february. Thanks to this thread, I was able to convert my reservation deposit to the new upcoming model.

[edricdude]

Yes Mitsubishi MS is top seller and will continue to stay there.

But You can be sure Toyota will retaliate with some improvements. As it is, their 102hp 2.5L and 160hp 3.0L are completely left behind against the MS 2.5Lvgt with 178hp.

102 hp on a two tonne vehicle in 2011 is laughable considering in 1989, 1991 and 1995 I bought brand new SWB 2.5L Pajero's with similar hp.

So expect some improvements (or incentives) on the fortuner in the coming months before the brand new model in 2012.
