[BoEinG_747]

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines recently introduced the 2005 edition of the Mitsubishi Adventure Super Sport.

This latest version features significant changes to further enhance its appeal and value for money proposition.

New features are the 4-spoke leather wrapped steering wheel with woodgrain and brushed aluminum accents, neatly re-styled door trims, European inspired matte finish wood paneling on the center panel and window controls, new air-conditioning control knobs and switches, and sleeker fender flares and door claddings for the exterior.

Aside from the new items mentioned above the 2005 model is equipped with a pair of multi-reflector halogen headlamps, fin-type grille design, impact absorbing polypropylene bumpers, and white fender side makers. 15-inch 6-spoke aluminum wheels shod with 195/65 R15 tires complement the

new fender flares and door claddings while the rear spare tire carrier enhances its SUV appeal.

MMPC AVP for Marketing Services Froy Dytianquin said: "We have made the Adventure Super Sport more exciting to own with all these features. I also believe at this specification level, the Adventure Super Sport is the best buy in terms of performance, ease of maintenance, and over-all value for money."

The interior also hosts number of high level of luxury and amenities like the individual bucket seats up front, high quality fabric seat material, center console, service tray and cupholders at the back of the front seats, and sporty white meter gauges.

True to its promise of providing car like comfort level, the car is equipped with thicker and newly contoured seats, while plush seat materials promote a more comfortable and relaxing interior. Road and engine noise are also minimized as the new Adventure is insulated further with sound and heat absorbing material, resulting to a quieter ride.

A number of dealer options are in store for the 2005 Adventure Super Sport like: Mit-Air Dual Airconditioning system, Front facing third row seat that folds and tumbles, MMAS Keyless Entry with Alarm, and the Mitsubishi Motors Audio Design hi-fi audio system with an in-dash CD player, tuner and 6-speakers.

It is powered by the proven and reliable 4D56 engine. The Mitsubishi 4D56 2.5 liter diesel engine yields a maximum output of 73 PS at 4,200 rpm and a maximum torque of 14.6 kg-m at 2,500 rpm and this is perfectly matched to a 5-speed manual transmission.

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines will back it up with a 3-year or 100,000 kilometer warranty.

Suggested retail price is P 837,000 and is available at all Mitsubishi Motors dealers nationwide.

72 horsepower huh... he he he.

[mazdamazda]

proven and reliable -> old and outdated

[Bogeyman]

Basically a watered-down Grand Sport. The only good thing they did was to add on the rims of the old Super Sport. I prefer those over the previous graphite Grand Sport rims.

yeh, not to flame anybody here but it is quite interesting that the marketing people of mitsubishi really thinks that the improving the aesthetics of the adventure would already make it a "new" model.

Common the design is already boring after more than 5 years in the streets....it does look boring kahit na lagyan mo pa iyan ng kun ano-anong ek-ek.

Value for money ba eto?! - 4-spoke leather wrapped steering wheel with woodgrain and brushed aluminum accents, neatly re-styled door trims, European inspired matte finish wood paneling on the center panel and window controls, new air-conditioning control knobs and switches, and sleeker fender flares and door claddings for the exterior, a pair of multi-reflector halogen headlamps, fin-type grille design, impact absorbing polypropylene bumpers, white fender side makers, and 15-inch 6-spoke aluminum wheels shod with 195/65 R15 tires.

IMO There is nothing new about these....

Mas maganda pa kung ang ginawa nila ganito: HID lamps, turbo intercooled engine (like the strada), abs disk brakes on all 4 wheels, lsd rear differential, independent rear suspension like the pajero, airbag equiped steering wheels and pasenger side, 16" rims with 235/R16 tires.

If I do this mods in an older model adventure, wouldn't it be better?

Totally agree!!! i owned mitsubishi adventure gls sprots 2003 before the new facelift designed, Mas ok tlga kung nka intercooler turbo like strada or independent rear suspension. kc looks nya ok na tlga kc wala gano accesories ok na ok na.

IMO, 4d56 of mitsu is a realible engine, di nagpapa iwan sa revo or isuzu, even old engine na sya. malakas pa din ang hatak. at matulin khit 73hp lng. di ko nga alam kung san ng gagaling ang power nito pag pinangkakarera ko sa mga revo or isuzu. plus factor na cguro pag nka turbo hehehe.

With these features then I could just imagine the price somewhere at P1.2M (maybe even higher).

Para sa akin, okay na ang 4D56 na turbo-intercooler, LSPV rear drum brakes, 205 na R15 tires, and keep the rear solid axle with leaf springs para pwede kargahan pag nag family outing. Siguro kaya pa ito sa P950T para competitively priced laban sa Crosswind at Innova.

Ang tanong ko lang, how can you SQUEEZE all these things you want for a price tag of only P837,000 ????? Try to analyze the economics behind the pricing strategy. Tapos gusto mo pang lagyan ng suspension like the Pajero. There is a marketing reason behind the "less than spectacular" specs.

Clearly, this is a strip-down version of the Grand Sport targetting buyers whose budget falls within the P900,000 range. The good thing about this new Mitsu is that the "add-ons" are now optional. You can add a DVD system or back-up sensor later when you have the money if you want to. Unlike sa Fortuner na the "add-ons" are now mandatory.

Asking for an Airbag and ABS for P837,000 ???? C'mon man, you can analyze much better than that?

The Hyundai Matrix CRDi which retails for around P600K has both.

And oh... the Hyundai with only a 1.5L engine has a better power output (thanks to a turbo & it being a CRDi) than the 2.5L Adventure.

[ILuvDetailing]

you can blame that to the excise tax scheme.

Easy man!!! im not testing out your intelligence...but maybe you should re-read and understand my comments...did I mention that there that the price tag wouldn't change?

Peace out.

IMO when the Grand Sport was released, it was trying hard to match Isuzu and Toyota in terms of features but they overdid it with accessories galore which aren't really usefull and only add to the weight. I like the watered down version better, more sleek and light, less body cladding which really is dead weight. Of course it would benefit more with a more powerfull engine, its a bit underpowered despite 16valves (in the gas version) which affects the fuel consumption.

oo nga prang they don't consider the power weight ratio...

[kimpOy]

maski sana 4D56 Turbo man lang like the last of the Gen 1 Pajero and strada.
which will up the ante for 88hp

sabi ng nakausap ko dati na taga-MMPC, Japan daw nag-di-dictate kung anong engine ng Adventure, which I think is true, kasi puro sa accessories lang ang nababago ng MMPC and not on the main parts like the engine, suspension, drivetrain, etc.

[Bogeyman]

Hindi naman kasi marketed as performance vehicle ang Adventure dito sa Pinas. Besides, as mentioned, kung idadagdag yung mga performance features as standard, taas-presyo agad yan. Iiwasan na talaga 'yan ng target market niya, which is primarily OFWs, at magiging pointless na siyang ilaban sa Sportivo at Innova.

The Hyundai Matrix CRDi which retails for around P600K has both.

And oh... the Hyundai with only a 1.5L engine has a better power output (thanks to a turbo & it being a CRDi) than the 2.5L Adventure.

Yes, but does the Matrix have the same cargo-carrying capacity, or the same availability of engine parts as the Adventure? :D

[ILuvDetailing]

easy lang El Chicane, mainit nanaman ulo mo, wish list lang naman yan. Alam naman natin na impossible mangyari yan.

[zechs]

luma na talaga ang adventure..puro update on the interior and exterior looks. pero marami pa rin bumibili so i guess mitsu motors will still keep the design they have now for a couple of years pa.
