Overview & Reviews

A new grille, front fascia and headlights, designed to provide a "greater sense of luxury," as well as smoother body cladding and dechromed taillights update the Montero. A bigger (3.8 liter) V6 adds some much-needed power to this 4,700-pound SUV.

• High-quality interior materials, sharp interior design, large cargo capacity, excellent off-road capability.

• Serious lack of power compared to rivals, mediocre on-road handling, useless third-row seat.

  Love my Montero - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Miko - November 10 - 10:00 am

  When we were looking for a family vehicle we were testing Minivans and had decided to get a Honda however we fell in love with the Montero. I feel that this SUV rides more like a car than other SUVs weve tested ie: the Pilot, CR-V and Endeavor. If you have older kids this was a better fit. There is lots of room in the front and second seat. The third row seat meant for two additional passengers is really poorly designed, my ten year old has a hard time. It is really comfortable when we travel with the family. There is plenty of room for bags and luggage. Overall we really love this SUV.

  Good Overall Value - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
  By joeb1966 - October 10 - 2:00 am

  We originally were planning on purchasing a Suburban or Expedition. For thoroughness we decided to test drive a Montero. The refined styling, smooth performance and excellent visibility were instantly apparent. We have been pleased with our purchase. The Montero handles well in the ice/snow, has adequate power to get up to the Mountains for skiing and has good cargo capacity without being overly bulky like a Suburban. This vehicle feels like a Toyota Landcruiser for $25K less.

  Montero - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Dubb28 - July 17 - 2:00 am

  My wife and I were initially loking at Tahoe, Expedition, Denali, Navigator. Tested the Limited fell in love. Mitsu sales/service outstanding. Got a fabolous deal on new 02. Features match the top of line SUV with a better price. Plenty of room, handles great, and can be taken everywhere from shopping, to the park, to off roading and camping to a night on town.

  Unique, Fun SUV - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Beetle - June 3 - 2:00 am

  This is my 3rd Montero. Also owned an 89 and a 94. Quality and Confort are great. New larger 3.7 litre engine is a big improvement. This is a HEAVY vehicle you feel safe in. Had it for about 4 weeks - and im not disappointed. A quality built and unique looking SUV.

  Montero miles - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Fairlane500_1957 - April 27 - 2:00 am

  With less then 1,000 miles on my new Montero I feel I have a few things to point out. I like the way this vehicle handles tight turning radius, firm ride, good power. Im anxious to see how it does pulling my camper. Its rated for 5,000 pounds towing and my camper only weighs 2,200 so it should pull it with ease. But well see when we hit the mountains. Thats the only concern that I had was the V-6 having the power I needed.

  Great SUV!! Best Exterior Design! - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
  By John G - March 29 - 3:30 pm

  I love my Montero XLS! Unbeatable exterior design and its attractive and practical on the inside too. Engine is powerful for a 3.8L V6 and the self-select 4WD has 4 settings for different driving conditions. Very comfortable and solid ride. Awesome sounds system and 3rd row seat. Good value versus the competition. I chose the Montero over the Pilot and 4Runner because of its styling, true 4WD feature and overall quality and value for money.
