Review: 2020 Mitsubishi Montero Sport 4WD GT
The arrival of the Xpander has put a lot less pressure on the Montero Sport, particularly when it comes to its market positioning. Before, Mitsubishi has had to offer a dizzying array of variants including three engine choices, two gearboxes, and four trims.

In the greater scheme of things though, this has enabled them to position their mid-sized SUV as a technology leader of sorts. The question is: would this be enough to entice the typical SUV buyer?
