The Mitsubishi Montero Sport 4x4 GT is one of the more popular mid-sized SUVs available in the country. The model was first launched in 1996 and grew to three generations since then. This new Montero Sport just had a major facelift with its noticeable aggressive front face and shorter teardrop rear lights. That is just two of the many changes and additions Mitsubishi designers and engineers put into their latest baby. Let's see why consumers are drawn to this SUV.
