The Mitsubishi Montero Sport 2020 is our pick as the best midsize SUV of 2019!

Mitsubishi Montero Sport 2020: Philkotse’s best mid-size SUV of the year!

Since its first generation, the Mitsubishi Montero Sport has been a best seller here in the Philippines. And despite several controversies (which we highly think lacks merit), the said Mitsubishi model throughout its entire lifetime, from the humble 1st-generation to the macho and graceful third generation is an excellent vehicle that perfectly embodies the best of what Mitsubishi has to offer.

Mitsubishi Montero Sport 2020: Easily the most striking mid-size SUV you can buy right now

Yes the Toyota Fortuner is sleek and elegant looking, yes the Nissan Terra is brusque and has the classic looks of the quintessential SUV, yes the Isuzu MU-X is deliciously rugged but the Mitsubishi Montero Sport though has just the right balance of high-tech features, hyper-modern looks, and sleekness that’ll make it suitable just about everywhere you go.

Think of the Montero Sport like Chukka boots which like the aforementioned SUV can still duke it out in rough and tough situations and with a little cleaning can still fit in neatly with a more relaxed, elegant occasion.

This point, of course, is much truer with the facelifted third-generation 2020 models. The dynamic shield is much more modern looking with sharper corners, and the look of the entire front is much more balanced because of the more effective use of its space.

Mitsubishi Montero Sport 2020: Still the best handling mid-size SUV in the Philippine market

Like the pre-facelift Montero Sport and the 2nd-generation ones, the current Mitsubishi Montero Sport 2020 is an SUV that you’ll want to buy if you want to have fun on twisty roads.

Why? Well…this mid-size SUV, despite its tall ride height, has minimal body roll in comparison to similarly-sized and priced models available in the Philippines right now.

Some people who have driven many different SUVs all their lives are even saying that this mid-size model from Mitsubishi is the one that’s closest to sedans when it comes to handling.
