The 2011 Mitsubishi Montero is the latest vehicle in the “dependable” category to get listed in car reviews. It has already got the reputation of being a perfect off-road truck with luxurious interiors.

The Montero is perfect for both city and woodland rides. At full 235 foot pounds of torque at 3500 rpm, the Montero is suitable for off-road driving and climbing steep slopes. The performance of the car is quite similar to other SUVs, which makes it perfect for the moderate SUV buyer.

Mitsubishi Montero has 200-hp V6 engine and an active trac drive system. The Montero is provided with a part time 4WD and a two speed transfer case plus a four wheel drive transfer case. The power windows, the door lock and the security alarm system with remote keyless entry makes the Montero more user-friendly.

The Montero has a ten-way manually adjustable driver’s seat with dual height adjustment and a stowable third-row bench seat with an under-floor storage facility.

The active trac system comes in 2WD/AWD/4WD and electronic engagements. A five speed automatic transmission with sportronic sequential-shift is just another feature which makes the Montero versatile.

The Montero is smooth on the highway compared to most other SUVs. The biggest advancement is the rack and pinion steering instead of re-circulating ball setup. It has disc brakes in the front and at the rear, ventilated to haul from highway speeds. However, the anti-lock brake system has been kept standard.

The Montero is a luxurious car, comparatively cheaper than other luxury SUVs like the Toyota Land Cruiser. A perfect family car with sport utilities, the Montero gives bump-free drive both on highways and rippled dirty roads. Adding to this is the woodgrain interior trim of the car and steering wheel which completes the look.

Mitsubishi Montero comes in two versions – Montero XLS and Montero Limited. It has room for seven full-sized people and has integrated fog lights. It is surely one of the most versatile vehicles that is about to hit the road very soon! Are you ready for it?
