Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMPC) officially pulled the curtains off the all-new 2015 Strada, a pickup that promises to blend passenger car comfort with SUV amenities, functionality, and ruggedness. The fifth-generation model in Mitsubishi’s storied pickup truck history, the all-new Strada takes the concept of “sport utility truck” to the next level as it aims to become the top choice among pickup buyers in the country.
Since its introduction as the Forte in Japan and L200 in the Philippines, Mitsubishi’s pickup has always been one of the top choices in the segment and is constantly a strong seller among Mitsubishi Motors Corporation’s global line-up. In the Philippines, it has cumulatively sold more than 56,000 units since the 1990s making it the best-selling pickup nameplate in the country.
The all-new, fifth-generation Strada evokes a dynamic and sophisticated stance with its taut lines and compact proportions. The highly evocative style gives it class-leading aerodynamics contributing to better fuel efficiency and high-speed quietness. Careful consideration has been done to improve visibility with thinner A-pillars and a large greenhouse. The front bumper is even designed to channel water spray in an outward manner rather than toward the windshield for better safety in wet weather conditions. The impressive headlamps house LED daytime running lights with HID projector beams for the GLS 4x4 M/T and GLS Sport 4x4 A/T variants.
At the side, the distinctive “J-line” provides a clever engineering solution that shortens the wheelbase and maximizes interior space without compromising loading capabilities. In fact, despite the Strada’s larger and deeper bed, it has a class-leading 5.9-meter turning radius.
It features a stylishly sporty two-tone black/gray interior with piano black and silver accent trims scattered throughout. The instrument cluster features a neat and straight-forward display with a large multi-information display sandwiched by the large tachometer and speedometer. Dead center is a 6.75-inch touchscreen multimedia system filled with various functions from GPS navigation to reverse camera display to a tire pressure monitoring system. The Strada also boasts of the longest cabin in its class at 1,745 millimeters with the most comfortable rear seatback angle.
The Strada is offered in six variants. In 2WD: GL 4x2 base M/T, GLX 4x2 M/T, GLX V 4x2 A/T; in 4WD: GL 4x4 base M/T, GLS V 4x4 M/T, and GLS Sport V 4x4 A/T. At the heart of the all-new Strada is an improved version of Mitsubishi’s Di-D engine. For the lower variants, they produce 136 horsepower at 4,000 rpm and 324 Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm. For the higher variants, the 4D56 engine produces a maximum output of 178 horsepower at 4,000 rpm and 400 Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm thanks to a variable geometry turbo (VGT). Available transmission options are: five-speed manual and a five-speed automatic.
Mitsubishi isn’t hiding the fact that the Strada isn’t the most powerful in outright power. Yet, it features the best power-to-weight ratio. With a curb weight of just 1,835 kilograms for the GLS Sport V A/T model, it’s easily lighter than its larger, more powerful competition. Yet, it can accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 10.3 seconds compared to its competitor which does 10.8 seconds even if it has a 200-horsepower inline-5 under the hood.
The range-topping GLS Sport V features Mitsubishi’s renowned Super Select 4WD-II system. Also seen in the likes of the Pajero, this technology provides outstanding off-road performance and superior handling with just the turn of a knob on the center console. This system also controls torque distribution between the front and rear wheels up to 40 percent front and 60 percent rear. In addition, it allows the Strada to run on full-time 4WD unlike its competitors which are purely 2WD with shift-on-the-fly systems.
With the pickup truck’s increasingly multifunction role as family transport, lifestyle vehicle, and business companion, the Strada doesn’t take a backseat in terms of safety. It uses the Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) body, dual SRS airbags, seat belt with pre-tensioners, and anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist.
The all-new Strada is now available at all Mitsubishi dealerships nationwide in the following color choices: Quartz Brown Metallic, Impulse Blue Metallic, Earth Green Metallic, Rosita Red, Virgil Gray, Sterling Silver Metallic, Polar White, Savanna White, and Pyrenese Black. Prices range from P 950,000 for the base GL 4x2 M/T to P 1,440,000 for the GLS Sport V 4x4 A/T.
The Philippines is only the second market in the world to receive the all-new Strada, following its debut in Thailand late last year. It will be exported to over 150 countries worldwide and is manufactured solely at Mitsubishi Motors Thailand.
Ang Pangit, mahina.. NP300 Navara ang panalo
ReplyDeleteYeah,nakita ko yan sa personal sa mall, pangit ang exterior design , lalo na yung tires sa strada .
Deletebsta ako Etrada pa rin walang kupas select sellect na 4wd system haha suya lng kau wala sa pick up truck nyo ..
Deletelahat naman ng 4WD selection parehas he.
DeleteHi A di lahat 4WD pareho iba ung sa Mitsubishi SUPER SELECT may center lock research nyo ..
DeleteHindi parehas. The Super Select is different. The 4H works like an AWD - pwede sa asphalt on winding roads. The 4HLc is similar to the 4H on other pick-up brands and the 4LLc is similar to the 4L. The high-end Strada is the only pick up in the Philippines whose front and rear wheels can work full-time on a 40-60 torque split.
DeleteAno yun fuel consumption ng 4x4 manual transmission for 2016 Strada?
DeleteBest pickup for the money. The GLX V 2wd has VGT, GPS, BACKING UP CAMERA, Tire Pressure monitor, etc. as part of the deal. And bedliner too. And the All in promo is just great, including the 55,000 pesos in prebooking discount. Can't ask for more. I am replacing my old ( 17 years) workhorse of a 4wd Strada with the above mentioned model.
ReplyDeleteGusto Ko pa 3.2 VGT 200hp
DeleteI agree with the NP300 saw one in SM, btw I'm currently using Ford Ranger.. no complaint as well.
ReplyDeleteI love Ford Ranger, especially the looks..But I more prefer NP300, I should have waited for it.
Deletekailangan nilang sabayan ang Nissan, talo sila pagdating sa TOTL. #TOUGH #SMART
ReplyDeletepamatay chix yung DRL ng NP300
ang porma sa panlabas lng yan try mo palitan ng mags na modified ang strada kong hirang ewan nlng kng di ka mpp.WQW haha
DeleteIt depends on how you modify them.
Deletemas astig ang strada, mas malakas makahatak sa chicks..unang tingin ko palang maganda na..lalo na ung pagkakacurve nya..letter J, pwede magslant ung passenger. =)
DeletePangit? Nasa preference ng tao yan. Sa akin Navarra pangit nawala pagka brusko. Itong Strada bang for the money. I saw and test drove one. Panalo ang comfort. Panalo ang interior. Sulit ang ibabayad ng bibili. Urban pickup at its best at hindi ka din mabibitin sa tingin ko for occasional offroad use.
ReplyDeletetama ka complito na ang strada...kahit sa karerahan talo sila sa strada nasubukan ko na yan mula clark hanggang subic kasi magaan ang body ng strada angkop sa makina nya..
DeleteIf you're on to racing, buy a car. We're talking about trucks, go for a bigger and heavier one for mid-size trucks.(Colorado, Ranger, NP300, BT-50)
Deletehigh tech talaga ang navara, 2.5L 190HP?? - 450NM torque? ouch!!
ReplyDeleteyung strada, konti lang ang upgrade. tsk2x
Olats ito. Practically the same mechanicals/powertrain transplanted into a new body that looks like a creepy anime robot. Foton look amp0ta.
ReplyDeletehahaha..logically thinking I can't predict the Foton, why is it so?
DeleteI had written earlier that the Strada was the best pickup for the money. That was after I was told by a sales agent that if I ordered the GLX V 2wd for something like 1,189,000 pesos less 55000 for prebooking discount, free one year insurance, three years LTO riegistration and chattel mortgage, I would also get the bedliner for free, as well as GPS, rear camera, tire monitor as part of the deal. Now it turns out that GPS was not part of the package, and there is doubt that the bedliner would be free. Mitsubishi had better put its act together, or there might be some disappointment somewhere.
ReplyDeleteagree
DeleteNaka 200HP ka nga, hinde mo naman alam gamitin at mabilis pa sa iyo EON haha
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHA!!! sort of..maybe..hahaha
Deletelahat ba dito may 4x2? or 4x4? may sarili or binabayaran pa rin ngayon? nakakatuwa mga comments eh! be thankful at least meron ka - hindi nakaw o anuman- pinaghirapan mo yan :)
ReplyDeleteOn the contrary, I think all these men making comments here own a car.
Deletethere are plenty of new comers this days so make sure that the one u r buying is the right one for ur budget or spend ur excess money on something u want the most like buying a new one and selling the old one except there is a senti value on it sayang naman diba mga bosing..
ReplyDeleteFord ranger mas okay sa lahat porma etc wala nang papalitan. Di naman importante gps kung sa mall at karatig bayan lang pupunta. Lol ang importante may sasakyan mahal man o mura. Di na uso ngayon pormahan or any upgrade. Practical lang tayo mga pre!
ReplyDeleteAyon na naman ang Strada critics. Ano ngayon kung ganyan ang design ng bagong Strada atleast ang Mitsubishi nagreresearch para maging safe ang pagdrive nito sa tag ulan dahil sa design ng aerodynamics nya. Eh yung Nissan naglalabas lang ng unang Navara boxy tapos sinasabi nila mas maganda ang design ngayon ng bago. Dapat nga sa una pa lang ginandahan na nila. Second, ang pick up po ay hindi pangkarera. hauler/workhorse po sya. kung gusto nyo ng mataas ng hp di sana nagporsche kayo. Third, kaya sabihan nyo maganda ang design ng Navara, sigurado ba kayo nga tested ba at proven ang multi link shock nya kaysa sa leaf spring? ilang buwan lang yan ang test ng Nissan. Unlike Mitsubishi na nagreseach pa panu maging heavy duty ang leaf spring ng strada. Lastly, Mitsubishi Strada is tested na may strongest brakes. At lastly, dito lang yan parang sikat ang navara sa Ph. Powerful eh. Pero sa ibang bansa Triton mas respected ang Triton/Strada. Andun na ang lahat eh. In short, balance of prowess, power, driving dynamics at innovation ng Mitsubishi. I'm sharing this because one of my father's business is into automotive sa ibang bansa so alam na alam niya kung ano ang brand na maganda ng isa sasakyan.
ReplyDeleteAll types of car has an aerodynamic design, it has been modified eversince after the first German car was made. I agree pick-up trucks are a workhorse indeed, but all these companies kept on telling on their engineering was made differently to others or should they say theirs are better than the others, but apparently if you should look closely to it they're just all damn the same. It was just an another way on how they market their car, it's up to us on what to choose.
DeleteI love the all new Strada, it was really amazing especially the interior, but it's just really not the one I wanna buy. I once had a Hilux and D-max, but I now have a 2013 Ranger Wildtrak, but I prefer the NP300 instead. Unfortunately I bought my Ford a bit earlier that I shouldn't have, and waited for the Nissan.

Deletemitsu fan boy spotted..good luck sa foton look ng strada mo at the same engine parin at timing belt pa ..alam na alam kung anung brand na maganda hahhaa syempre toyota hilux ang pinakamaganda
Delete2015 na 5 speed mt/automatic parin what a joke ung hi end 400 nm torque outdated talga ung strada..paano yan magiging workhorse na pka outdated..compare to colorado ,bt 50 and ranger wlang syang sinabe
Deletei'll be buying the glx mt this end of the month, wagi sana kung may kasamang backing sensor man lang. I hate the design, but i love the comforty ride!
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with the Philippines? The first world countries still got the newest diesel engine. Their Navara got the latest nissan 2.3, their L200 also got mitsubishi's newest 2.4 mivec diesel. Turbo lag is non existent on those new engine, refinement and quietness par with gasoline engine. What if when the euro fuels of the Big Three arrives next year, aren't we still getting the best diesel engine around?
ReplyDeletei just bought my Mitsubishi Strada GLS-V 4x4 MT, i will tell you guys.. One of the best pick up ever.. no complain at all.. inside and outside..not to mention the performance "SUPERB" stop complaining and criticizing if you don't have one ladies and gentlemen.. prove it by yourself, buy one and prove it, just make sure you know how to use and to drive before you complain later.
ReplyDeletesir i bought strada 2015 model..why are they selling me separately the chip or card for gps? is that the usual practice?
Deletesayang lang pero nyu ngayon sa strada pareho parin engine ...i wait nyu n lng mag update ng engine
ReplyDeleteAno po positive and negative side ng Strada? Based sa Experience nyo? Cos I have no Idea about Stradam, Im thinking to buy sana, I just need some Comments/Reviews from you guys para magka-idea ko. Thanks po
ReplyDeleteMay strada ako. Sirain ang aircon. Sirain din ang engine. Pangit ang handling. Sobrang gaan ng body. Mabilis mapudpod ang brake pads. Pareho ng montero. Maganda lang kasi mabilis dahil sa magaan ang body pero pangit ang handling kaya delikado. D-max ang bago ko. Matibay at matipid. D nga lang mabilis mag accelerate.
DeleteI hope you bought the strada. I have it last august 2014 and until now, I love it, I did not and still do not experience any negative performance of my glx 4x2 strada. How I wish to have the new one, the mivec 4n15 that is chain driven p-up.
DeleteJust bought This Strada Glx-V 2015 and I'm so in love with this car. Ang laki ng ginanda , Dimension ng body length also humaba. Lakas humatak ng engine . Interior is very cool and comfortable. Also before ko bilhin ito na testdrive ko ang Ranger ,Hilux and Navarra but, ito pa rin ang top 1 ko. Worth the price guys.
ReplyDeleteHey im Abegails husband so i dont speek bisaya or tagalog
Deletei wood like to know if your happy that you buy the strada insted of the ather brands ?
Type ko yang new strada kaya lang wala akong pambili, hehehe
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
Deletemas maganda ang porma sa dating strada, ewan ko dito sa bagong design parang alanganin ang porma
Deletei really really need your help guys and gals, i am about to purchase pick-up this month
ReplyDeleteafter reading all your comments i got confused., what is better deals among the three brand for M/T 4X2 pick-up? pls help me enlighten, what is wrong with the 4D56 of strada?
1. Hilux G
Delete2. Navara EL
IMHO Nothings wrong with the 4D56.
DeleteDesign is really old and dates back to the 80´s.
But because of the really good design
(Have 16 year old L200 with 4D56)
and the constant refinements -
turbo, high pressure injection, VGT, Euro 4-5-6 etc.
it´s a really good engine (also to be found in adventure)
Some people like the newest - I prefer proven.
Basically all japanese trucks are good.
Maybe you like one model more because of the looks.
Maybe you feel more comfortable in one particular (test drive ! )
And maybe you prefer one brand because the dealer
has a good maintenance crew ...
Hope I could help
For me it is a Best bang for your buck pickup truck.... You will get more on a Strada GLX V A/T 4x2 in Terms of power and Features compared to other vehicles in its class with a price bracket of P1.1-1.3m .. For Just P1.158m you'll get a Powerful engine, a spacious interior, well balanced vehicle in terms of performance and handling. Not to mention some extra features and accessories (GPS, Cruise Control, TPMS, Backup Cam, A/T with sportmode +- ETC.) that you can also get on other brands But on a higher trim level and a higher Price Aswell. But nowadays you cant go wrong whatever Pickup truck you choose its all about the buyers preference. What they need, what they wanted it for and how much they are willing to spend for a Pickup...
ReplyDeletena confuse din ako...kung Navara P300 or LAtest ng strada...ano ba nalilito ako sa mga comments hahaha..iba talaga pag walang alam... so ano ba talga ....
ReplyDeletena confuse din ako...kung Navara P300 or LAtest ng strada...ano ba nalilito ako sa mga comments hahaha..iba talaga pag walang alam... so ano ba talga ....
ReplyDeleteMay talyer ang friend ko. Madalas na customer strada at montero. Sirain ang aircon. Mahina ang brake pads at madalas mag check engine pareho ng montero ng hipag ko.
DeleteProblema din brake pads at brake rotor. Mabilis mapudpod.
DeleteStrada GLX-V lang ang pick-up sa Philippine market ngayon ang pwede i-All Wheel Drive (4H sa Super Select) sa paved at hard-packed roads. Ung ibang pick-ups hindi pwede. Useful itong feature na ito kung umuulan at winding (so madulas) ang daan. Mas safe at stable. Ung 4H ng ibang brands di pwede i-engage sa paved roads kasi delikado sa wind-up...
ReplyDeleteGuys anu ba tlaga ang mas d best bilhin...? In all aspects po.. Np300 navara o strada??
ReplyDeleteyung strada po, maganda ang suspension nya.
Deletefeb nxt month, bibili na or palitan nmin sasakyan ng strada glx. para magamit sa negosyo. nakatakot nman yung comment sa sirain ang engine at brake ttutuo na yan?
ReplyDeletesa paggamit lng talaga yan. lalo na pag maraming driver. 2014 pa yung glx ko pro casa maintained sya. wala akong problema sa strada ko.
Deletepano maniniwala ang mga readers kung kayong mga nag co comment ay wala namang totoong account puro kayo anonymous! akala ko ba car review itong page na ito hindi payabangan! di tulad sa ibang bansa, they are fair enough to show their real names and faces. magbago na mga kapatid..
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely pare.
DeleteI own 2015 strada at first gsto ko sana ng np300 which is poging pogi nman tlaga..
ReplyDeleteBut if u want to go for the cheapest price at hndi nman tlaga ng kakalayu sa specs choose strada...
I just bought my NP300 December not for the Chick to impress but for Business. I drives like an SUV and Accelerate like a race car. Even if I carry 700K on my back power is still there..My honest opinion studying all brand specs at 4X2 Variant Navara NP300 is the winner..Why I bought one.
ReplyDeleteSelling our pre-loved Strada GLS-V 4x4. Sms for details.
ReplyDelete09479915192
DeleteMay strada nba tau na 2.4L mivec kc meron nmn n tau ng bgong montero?
ReplyDeleteI think never mag mivec ang strada at maging exclusive lang ng Montero.
ReplyDeleteBefore naging issue ang 4D56 engine ng Montero kasi nga daw engine ng Strada at Adventure ang Montero SUV ibang engine.
Regarding naman sa issue na mabilis ampodpod brake pad ng Montero I thinkit is normal after 25K mileage need mo na e change. 2X na ako nag change ng brake pad. Kumbaga sa 5 years twice palang.
I'm planning to purchase Strada GLX o GLS V Manual.
ReplyDeleteSan ba mas ok sa pick up kung pang practicl Strada o XLT.
Thanks sa suggestion.
go for the gls-v sir, value for money kasi kumpleto sa features (push start button, hid, dlr, gps, back up camera, dvd and many more) and hindi magpapaiwan sa hatawan. We own a 2010 strada glx and it really delivers well no complaints at all, not to mention na abot kaya ang maintenance unlike sa XLT(ford) mahal ang maintenance ng ford as we all know. so practicality wise, go for strada! Peace
DeleteThank you Sir for the advise.
ReplyDeleteAnother between GLS V 2015 at GLS v 2016 ano ba talga pinagkaiba at mas malaki kasi discount pag 2015 model kesa 2016 model. practical wise iniisip ko ang 2015 at mas mababa ang loan amount pero kung mas madaming upgrade sa 2016 di sa 2016 nalang at least built in na at na QC sa planta.
thanks sa feedback evryone.
Sabi nung nakausap kong SA sa freeway, yung tinutukoy nila na 2016 model is yung FIELD MASTER edition ng Strada so konting mods lang naman sa exterior yun (new mags, sports roller bar, extra bumper w/lights, black grille) sa interior at engine wala naman pagbabago.
ReplyDeleteNagtataka ako bakit nauubos daw yung stock ng mga 4x4 na Strada both A/T ang M/T eh mas mabenta pa nga yung GLX dun, Puro GLX ang nasa Casa. Hindi kaya minimodify na ng Mitsu Ph yung mga Strada na 4x4 nila para ilagay na yunh 2.4 Mivec engine? sa thailand kasi 2.4 Mivec na ang Triton nila. Ano mga opinyon nyo mga ser?
ReplyDeleteKung ang hinahanap ay so much power heavy duty truck nlng ang bilhin, ang 200hp at 500torque nmn di mo nmn magamit sa trapik ng maynila, at kung pangkarera nmn ang gusto ay lamborgini na ang bilhin ninyo...mga hindot.
ReplyDeleteBasta matibay at madaling hanapan ng pyesa tapos mura pa... Ill go for strada2016 ako. Subok ko s kargahan. Pang bussiness tlga..bhala n kau magisip dyn..iba ang kasa ng mitsubishi.. .modelong modelo s papormahan.cute but astig. D tulad ng iba brusko lng. Un nlng .hahahaha
ReplyDeletei bought a brand new 2015 strada last year,,,why they are selling me separately the gps chip/card at 4k. is that the usual practice
ReplyDeleteTechnically, Mitsubishi calls it a "dealer option". Unfortunately, that is the usual practice. You could have haggled for the SD card for your GPS for free...they might have thrown it in for free then.
Deleteahhh ganun ba?it's too late now...thanks..can i buy that sd card outside mitsubishi?what type is that?
Deleteoptional kase yan bro. yung akin na glx is navigation and tmp ready. sa mga high end lng kase inilagay ng libri. favorably upgradable ang unit natin
Deleteahhh ganun ba?it's too late now...thanks..can i buy that sd card outside mitsubishi?what type is that?
ReplyDeleteanong model ba kinuha mo sir, yong sa kapatid ko GLX kasama naman ang card. ang GL Model ba meron rin GPS head unit.
ReplyDeletepara rin pala yang Montero na GLX bilhin mo yong card kasi nga optional ng dealer. sana from the start tinanong mo nalahat Sir at timing timing lang kasi yan kung maisahan ka.
nakalagay man sa offer/brochure yon brod
DeleteCar repair manuals pdf of Mitsubishi has become really popular for the car owners as it contains some mechanical assistant in it.
ReplyDeleteAnu pong ibig sabihin ng white color ng front tires po na nakikita sa screen display ng car strada ko po?
ReplyDeleteI bought my Strada GLX 2015 Model last June 2016 and until now I have no complaints so far under CASA care, have no regrets and I love so much...Some one send me offers and wanted to buy my pick up but sorry this is not for sale, my lifetime partner my pyrenese black strada..
