Mitsubishi has been known for producing inexpensive, simple-looking yet high-performance vehicles. With the advent of the Montero Sport, which is smaller and lighter than the earlier full-size Mitsubishi Montero, Mitsubishi veered from its tradition. Montero Sport is more refined and comfortable and its performance is just as gutsy as its looks. It offers good handling and agility especially in tight turns and rough pavements. It's truly a dependable and heavy duty vehicle. When you're all set for adventure, this sport utility vehicle is certainly ready to go with you. From its muscular looks down to its well-equipped interior and tough powertrain, it's sure to give you an excellent drive.

Montero Sport comes in four level trims: ES, LS, XLS and Limited, with two or four-wheel drive options. In 2002, it comes equipped with full time four-wheel-drive mode, which is designed to increase traction control especially in slippery and rough roads or irregular pavements; thus, ensure your safety. Built on a truck chassis, expect a truck-like ride, with no rattles, squeaks and leaps. Antilock brakes are standard on all four-wheel drive Montero Sport. These provide excellent traction especially in inclined roads. Powering these vehicles are 3.0 L V6 165-hp engine (ES, LS, XLS) and 3.5 L 197-hp V6 engine (Limited).

All Montero Sport models are well-equipped with performance, safety and luxury parts, even the base trim. The LS features rear privacy glass, more adjustments on the front seat, 60/40 split rear seat and larger alloy wheels. The XLS come with color-keyed fender flares, style-enhancing parts and security system. The top-level trim, Limited is loaded with four-wheel-disc brakes and ABS, limited-slip rear differential, Infinity stereo, power moonroof and LCD trip computer. It also features leather upholstery, heated front seats and separate rear heater controls.
