2006 Mitsubishi Montero Review
Mitsubishi's largest SUV soldiers into 2006 unchanged. Montero has a 215-hp V6 and a 5-speed automatic transmission with manual shift gate. Standard is Mitsubishi's ActiveTrac 4WD, which can be left engaged on dry pavement and includes low-range gearing. Also included are ABS, traction/antiskid control, and front side airbags; curtain side airbags are unavailable. Montero has a side-opening cargo door. It seats seven via a 3rd-row bench that removes or folds flush with the cargo floor. Rear air conditioning and sunroof are among the standard features. DVD entertainment is the only factory option.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 17 classes based on size, price, and market position. Larger than Compact SUVs, Midsize SUVs offer a mix of car- and truck-type construction, V6 and V8 power, and up to 8-passenger seating. This class also includes crossover vehicles.

Our Best Buys include Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. Our Recommended picks are Dodge Durango, Ford Explorer, Ford Freestyle, Nissan Murano, Nissan Xterra, and Toyota 4Runner.

New or significantly redesigned models include Hummer H3, Jeep Commander, Pontiac Torrent, and Subaru B9 Tribeca.
News
The aging Montero heads out to pasture after 2006. A redesign was slated, but cash-strapped Mitsubishi says meager sales demand didn't justify the expense. Montero's demise leaves Mitsubishi's U.S. lineup without a truck-based SUV for the first time in its 25-year history.
