Updated Jan 04, 2022 | Same topic: Automotive Industry Updates

It’s the popular midsize SUV’s turn to get the blacked-out treatment.

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) has officially launched the Montero Sport Black Series. This follows the release of blacked-out versions of the carmaker’s Xpander MPV and Strada Athlete midsize pickup last year.

Even Mitsubishi's midsize SUV now comes in a blacked-out version

“Black symbolizes power, elegance and sophistication,” said MMPC President & CEO Takeshi Hara. “With the addition of the Montero Sport in our Black Series collection, we wish to appeal to a market that intends to project the same characteristics, at the same time give them an SUV that is built to handle anything.”

Slotting between the GLS 2WD AT and the range-topping GT 4WD AT, the Black Series 2WD AT variant brings a number of visual tweaks that distinguish it from the standard Montero Sport. Chief of these is the black grille on the Dynamic Shield fascia, surrounded by LED exterior lighting. This is complemented by a black skid plate on the front bumper.

The rear bumper below the tailgate carries a black rear undergarnish, while blacked-out versions of the Montero Sport’s 18-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels complete the look. 

Inside, the Montero Sport Black Series continues to offer adequate space for up to seven occupants plus cargo. The second- and third-row seats can be folded, resulting in a flexible interior configuration for a range of cargo loads. Passengers can breathe easy with the climate control system equipped with Nanoe air purifying system and ion generator.
