Mitsubishi Montero Sport (VGT) - Generation 2.1 (2011-2013)

MITSUBISHI MONTERO SPORT (VGT) (2011-2013)

For 2011, the introduction of the GTV signaled the introduction of the VGT technology of Mitsubishi in the Montero Sport range. Automatics were treated to it while manual models had it later on. A non-VGT model (oddly discontinued but returned later on) and a V6 gasoline were launched in 2012.
