All-New Mitsubishi Montero Sport Unveiled in UAE
Al Habtoor Motors, the official dealer of Mitsubishi in the UAE, unveiled the all-new Montero Sport to a specially invited audience at Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. Powered by a robust 3.0-liter V6 MIVEC engine, the Montero Sport boasts an 8-speed automatic transmission for a smoother, more luxurious ride and improved fuel efficiency. The cruise control and sporty paddle shifters allow the driver to shift gears with a press, without removing their hand from the steering wheel, enhancing driving comfort.
Safety Features of the Montero Sport
The all-new Montero Sport comes equipped with comprehensive active and passive safety features:
- Passive Safety: MMC's own RISE*3 impact safety body design and a total of seven SRS airbags provide outstanding protection for occupants.
- Active Safety:
- Forward Collision Mitigation system (FCM)
- Blind Spot Warning system (BSW), a first in a Mitsubishi model
- Ultrasonic Misacceleration Mitigation System (UMS)
- Advanced features such as an electric parking brake (first on a Mitsubishi model), a Multi-around Monitor, and fully automatic climate control allowing different temperatures for driver and front seat passenger.
Performance and Off-Road Capabilities
The all-new Montero Sport utilizes an evolved version of MMC's own Super-Select 4WD-II four-wheel drive system. This is complemented by the new Off-road Mode (first on a Mitsubishi model), enhancing all-terrain performance and stability. Key features include:
- Hill Descent Control (HDC), which automatically applies brakes to maintain speed when traveling downhill at 2 km/h - 20 km/h, allowing the driver to concentrate on steering.
- Selectable 2WD and 4WD modes for various driving conditions.
- Advanced suspension and outstanding all-around clearance for improved handling in all weather.
Driving Convenience
Using the drive mode selector dial, the driver can switch between 2WD (2H) and 4WD (4H, 4HLc) with shift-on-the-fly convenience at speeds up to 100 km/h. When faced with rugged terrain, the driver can:
- Lock the center differential by entering the 4HLc setting for rugged terrain or the 4LLc setting for inclines, mud, and sand.
- Benefit from Active Stability & Traction Control, which regulates braking force during cornering to maintain vehicle stability.
- Enjoy a class-leading 5.6m turning radius, making it easy to park and drive.
Exterior Design
On the outside, the sophisticated LED headlamps and daytime running lights contribute to an appealing, high-quality personality. The Montero Sport's dynamic LED rear combination lamps boldly proclaim that this is no ordinary SUV.
Pricing
The prices of the all-new Montero Sport start from AED 89,900 for the baseline model to AED 107,000 for the fully loaded premium highline.
