Hindustan Motors launched Mitsubishi Montero Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) in India in 2006. The Indian version of Montero was launched as a Completely Built Unit (CBU) from Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC). The car is fully packed with all the features found in its international model. It has been specially designed to suit the Indian roads and the requirements of the Indian consumers. The SUV has been equipped with a powerful engine, which delivers commendable top speed.
Exterior
Mitsubishi Montero is has a monocoque body, with built-in ladder type frame. Its sturdy exteriors feature huge xenon headlamps, air intake ducts, chrome front grille - in the front and a sporty spare wheel cover - in the rear end. Side steps are provided for easy entry and exit.
Engine
Mitsubishi Montero,excels in performance with a powerful 3.2L 4-Cylinder DOHC inter-cooled turbocharged diesel engine that lies beneath the hood, which pumps out a power of 165 PS @ 3500 rpm and a peak torque of 383 Nm @ 2000 rpm. 5-speed manual and 5-speed automatic transmissions are available as standard for the MT and AT variants of SUV, respectively. The car reaches a top speed of 170 km/h.
Interiors
The interiors of Mitsubishi Montero are characterized by comfort, space and luxury. The cabin gets beige-colored leather upholstery for the seats. The bucket-type seats of Montero are supportive. The front seat passengers are benefited with four-way power adjusters, provided in the seats. The SUV has a seating capacity of 7 people. The second row seats can be folded, while the third-row seats can be removed completely, to make space for extra luggage. The power control panel is accented by titanium, while the 4-spoke steering wheel, center console and air vents get sleek wooden trim. The car features 5.1-channel surrounded sound entertainment system.
Ride and Handling
The five-speed transmission of both the models of Mitsubishi Montero provides smooth and seamless gear shifts. The suspension system of Montero is specially designed and finely tuned to absorb the bumps on uneven Indian roads. The car ensures very little body roll, even at high speeds. The stability control assists the driver to acquire full control over the vehicle during critical driving conditions, such as tight cornering and navigation on high speed limits. Montero comes with an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system as well.
Acceleration is superb and the Montero can maintain a pace that would leave many luxury saloons floundering in its wake. All the controls like the steering, gearshift and pedals feel light. In fact, the Montero feels quite car-like to drive, both in town and on the highway.
You wouldn’t expect this massive piece of metal to be nimble, but the monocoque construction of the chassis and a raft of electronic driver aids make this a car you would want to take anywhere. At any speed, on any surface, the Montero in a word is confidence-inspiring. The steering is nice and accurate and the huge tyres (265/65 R17) afford massive amounts of grip and impeccable ride quality on the roughest of roads. Off-road, the Montero is amazingly capable and is perfectly capable of ploughing its way through the soft sands.
Safety
The RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) body design of Mitsubishi Montero is secured with Active Stability & Traction Control System, dual SRS air bags and Multi-mode ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) to provide all-round protection for the occupants. The driver and passenger airbags, child safety lock in the rear seat and immobilizer further enhance the safety for the occupants, thereby ensuring a relaxing journey, both on and off-road.
Variants, Price and Color
Mitsubishi Montero is available in MT and AT variants. Priced at Rs 41 lakh (approx), the SUV offers four options for exterior color, including Black Mica, Blue Mica, Cool Silver Metallic and Warm Pearl White.
Verdict
If you’re looking for adventurous motoring experience, look no further. The Montero has enough credentials to humble some of the best names in the business. Rock, river, mud or snow, the Mitsubishi Montero is perfectly geared to handle any kind of terrain. Also, considering, the Mitsubishi Montero has been crafted for roomy comfort and offers good styling, solid safety along with optimum power performance, this is one SUV that truly takes the rough with the smooth.
