A lot of things have been talked about the 2019 Mitsubishi Strada. Given its newfound good looks, naturally, most of the chatter has been focused on the aesthetic. There are some who also dabbled on how the Strada features improved on- and off-road performance.

But we think that there’s one feature on the new Strada that deserves special mention: one that’ll keep cold aircon loving Filipinos very happy: dual air conditioning.


Not satisfied with adding rear vents, the Strada is the first-ever pickup truck to have dual air conditioning. Mitsubishi calls the feature a “Rear Air Circulator” and it looks like something borrowed pretty much straight off the Montero Sport.

Unlike other setups which have their vents positioned down low, typically near the knees, the Strada’s is ceiling-mounted. This allows the front dual zone climate control to help blow cool air to the back seats more effectively. Oh, and get this, it doesn’t eat up into any existing knee or legroom. Impressive stuff, indeed.
