Goa on wheels is reporting that Mitsubishi will launch the 2010 Montero in India this September. The 2010 Montero will use the same engine but power will be increased from from 165bhp (2009 model) to 200bhp (2010 model) @ 3800 rpm. Torque will go up from 383 Nm (2009) to 441 Nm (2010) @ 2000 rpm

The engine is now Euro 4 compliant thanks to the new catalytic converter and swirl control bulb addition.

The upgraded Montero gets brake assist and audio plug. Cosmetic changes come in the form of the front and rear bumper.

The new Montero is priced at Rs. 36.95 lakh, according to Goa on Wheels.

When we did a little research on this model, we came across a post on the 2010 Montero right here on IAB written in October last year. The performance figures are exactly the same, and we understand this is the model heading to India.

Though we cannot vouch completely for the information provided by Goa On Wheels, we would be delighted if the 2010 Montero indeed comes to India.

With 200hp and revised technology, the new Mitsubishi Montero is better car overall

Good news for all those who are looking forward to some ‘serious’ off-roading in their Montero.

The all-new Mitsubishi 3.2 DI-D Montero is going to give its customers the power of 200 horses. This completely revised version of Mitsubishi Montero will be out in international market shortly. The existing Mitsubishi Montero delivers some 165 PS.

Mitsubishi also claims that this vehicle will consume 17% less fuel than its predecessor and is of course a 4×4 equipped vehicle.

The extra 35 odd hp comes thanks to modifications to the bearings, cylinder heads, pistons, connecting rods, camshaft, valve train, oil pump, turbocharger, injection system and ECU. The maximum torque available is 441 Nm at 2,000 rpm. The vehicle is available in both manual and automatic variants.
