2028 Mitsubishi Montero: What We Know So Far
Overview After two decades of absence, the Mitsubishi Montero appears poised to make a comeback on American roads. The large, off-road-focused SUV stopped being imported to our shores after the 2006 model year, but a new Montero is undergoing development and appears to be based on the Nissan Armada SUV. We expect to see the Nissan's twin-turbocharged V-6 under the hood, although a plug-in hybrid powertrain is not out of the question. Premium amenities, three rows of roomy seats, and available off-road tech features are all but a certainty. We aren't exactly sure when the new Montero will go on sale, but we expect to see it debut in the next couple of years, possibly as a 2028 model year vehicle. What's New for 2026? In short, everything—sort of. The Montero is expected to be a modified variant of the existing Nissan Armada SUV, but it'll still be a new product for the Mitsubishi lineup. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2028 Mitsubishi Montero is expected to start around $60,000 and go up to $75,000 depending on the trim and options. ES $60,000 (est) SE $65,000 (est) SEL $70,000 (est) Platinum $75,000 (est) 0 $25k $50k $75k $100k $125k It's too early to say how much the Montero will cost or what trim levels it will be offered in, but the Armada currently starts at around $60,000 and Mitsubishi's other SUVs are offered in ES, SE, SEL, and Platinum trims with the top versions coming equipped with premium features and higher-end finishings.

2028 Mitsubishi Montero Emerges from the Shadows in Spy Photos
These spy photos could preview the new Mitsubishi Montero, with the body-on-frame SUV last appearing in the United States in 2006. Last year, Mitsubishi filed a U.S. trademark for the name "Montero," and it's possible that it could return alongside a new Nissan Xterra. With Nissan reportedly considering onshoring production of BoF models, a collab with Mitsubishi could see a new Montero built in Canton, Mississippi. It's been a minute since Mitsubishi sold a model in America that's worth getting excited about. That could change if the camouflaged SUV in these spy photos turns out to be what we think it is: a new Mitsubishi Montero. The Montero was a body-on-frame mid-size SUV in the same vein as the Toyota 4Runner and Nissan Xterra. A 2005 Montero finished third out of six in our off-road SUV comparo, and then it was promptly retired from U.S. duty after the following model year. The SUV did live on as the Pajero in other markets, but it was discontinued in 2021. Now, the Montero nameplate could be resurrected based on these images as well as other intel. View Photos KGP Photography | Car and Driver The images captured by our spy photographer show a boxy SUV that appears to have body-on-frame underpinning—see the solid rear axle. While the grille and front-end details are mostly obscured, the squinty lighting elements look similar to the Mitsubishi Outlander. The boxy fenders, chunky roof pillars, and mud flaps are also Montero-like design features, though a rear-mounted spare tire is notably missing from this test mule. The rear exhaust pipe also indicates that there's an internal-combustion engine under the hood. Other than these spy photos, which were taken in the southern part of Europe, what evidence points to a Montero resurrection, specifically for the U.S. market? Well, back in February 2024, Mitsubishi filed a trademark for "Montero" with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The automaker has also announced plans to introduce some new models between 2026 and 2030. KGP Photography | Car and Driver View Photos KGP Photography | Car and Driver Nissan will play a big role in Mitsubishi's aspirations, as the two brands already collaborate on models such as the Rogue/Outlander compact SUVs. The two automakers are also working on a jointly developed mid-size pickup truck, which could lead to the popular Nissan Xterra returning alongside the new Montero. With the Trump administration axing U.S EV incentives and doing who-knows-what with the ever-changing tariff situation, Nissan is considering moving production of the Japanese-built Armada and Infiniti QX80 to its underutilized assembly plant in Canton, Mississippi, according to a report by Automotive News. Not only that, but the AN report also claims that Nissan could build a pair of Frontier-sized SUVs at the factory too. Could that be a next-gen Xterra and Mitsubishi Montero? We can't say for sure, but that's what it looks like.

Government, opposition trade barbs over luxury vehicle auction in Sri Lanka
The second phase of the auction to sell luxury and decommissioned vehicles owned by the presidential secretariat concluded on Thursday during which 17 of the 26 listed vehicles were sold. The vehicles put on the auction list included one BMW car, two Ford Everest SUVs, two Land Rover SUVs, one Mitsubishi Montero and one Porsche Cayenne. Colombo, May 17 (PTI) A public auction of luxury vehicles from the fleet of former presidents has caused a stir with the Sri Lankan government and the opposition trading barbs over actual costing and amount recovered. As soon as the National People's Power (NPP) government was elected in November last year, it came out with a list of expensive high-end vehicles used by the former president Ranil Wickremesinghe's advisors, personal staff and some former ministers. The government said the vehicles would be auctioned as a means to cut down extravagance and save tax monies. A statement from the President Anura Kumara Dissanayake's office said Rs 200 million was recovered at the auction. However, the opposition claimed the sale prices at the auction had been well below the current market prices. On Saturday, opposition legislator Dayasiri Jayasekera said: 'This was not a public auction but a calling of tenders underhand.' 'This is a big loss to the state. We are hoping to lodge a complaint against this at the bribery and corruption commission,' Jayasekera added. Dissanayake's office statement said the vehicles were duly sold to bidders who had offered rates well above the government valuations of them. Nine of the vehicles sold had received bids below the government valuation, the release said. The government slammed the disinformation campaign carried out by the opposition and their agents to what it termed as 'discrediting the government' over the auction. The first phase of the such auction was carried out on February 28. As many as 14 luxury vehicles, six decommissioned vehicles, local media had reported then. Following the government announcement in November last year, the Cabinet of Ministers had on December 3 decided to study the government vehicle fleet and dispose of super luxury vehicles that incur high maintenance and fuel costs.
