General information and overview

I appreciate the 2009 Montero for what it was designed to be: a large, body‑on‑frame SUV with a 3.2‑litre turbo diesel, Super Select 4WD, high ground clearance and seating for seven, offering serious off‑road capability, strong low‑end torque and a plush leather interior with features such as multi‑information display, cruise control and a high‑power Rockford sound system in higher trims; safety kit included multiple airbags, ABS with EBD and a reinforced body structure, making it robust for long trips and rough terrain. However, because the model was discontinued in India and many examples are CBU imports or older stock, expect older technology, heavier curb weight, dated ride and NVH characteristics and potential challenges sourcing OEM parts—tradeoffs that matter if you’re buying for daily urban use versus weekend off‑roading or long‑distance touring.
December 21, 2025
I see the 2009 Mitsubishi Montero as a full‑size, CBU‑imported SUV powered by a 3.2‑litre turbocharged intercooled diesel with CRDi, available with manual and automatic gearboxes and Mitsubishi’s Super Select 4WD (SS4‑II) and independent suspension that underpin its off‑road capability and on‑road composure. Safety and comfort were well specified for its time—ABS with EBD, multiple airbags, reinforced RISE body, premium leather interiors, multi‑information display and a high‑power Rockford audio system—making it a premium offering when sold in India. The package leans heavy on off‑road hardware (Yokohama radial tyres, 17” alloys, high approach/departure angles) and towing/rough‑terrain durability, but the platform is dated by today’s standards: fuel economy, interior tech, NVH and parts availability are the main trade‑offs I consider when evaluating it against contemporary Indian options.

Our Verdict

Expert opinion and recommendation

I find the 2009 Mitsubishi Montero to be a compelling choice if you prioritise rugged off‑road ability, strong diesel performance and a spacious 7‑seat cabin over modern infotainment and fuel‑efficiency; the 3.2L CRDi motor delivers abundant torque for towing and trail work while Super Select 4WD and sturdy suspension give confidence off‑road, but the Montero shows its age on refinement, cabin noise and urban manoeuvrability compared with contemporary SUVs, and running and maintenance costs tend to be higher because most units in India are older imports or discontinued models with limited dealer support.
December 21, 2025
I find the 2009 Mitsubishi Montero to be a rare, purpose-built large SUV that excels if your priorities are genuine off-road capability, rugged build and a spacious, well-equipped cabin; the 3.2‑litre diesel’s strong torque, Super Select 4WD system and reinforced body make it confidence‑inspiring on rough terrain while the long list of creature comforts (premium leather, Rockford audio, cruise control and multiple airbags) keeps highway cruising comfy for short to medium runs. On the flip side I notice its age shows in fuel efficiency, interior tech and NVH compared with modern rivals, parts and service are costlier because it was sold as a CBU and volumes were low in India, and resale values are weak versus mass-market SUVs—so I recommend it for buyers who value off‑roading authenticity and build quality over running-cost efficiency or the latest gadgetry.

Latest Updates

Recent news and announcements

On August 9, 2023, a Mitsubishi Montero Sport was involved in a fatal accident in Mandaluyong, where two people were killed after being hit by the vehicle. This incident is part of a series of sudden unintended acceleration (SUA) incidents reported in the Philippines. I think such incidents highlight the need for rigorous safety inspections and recalls when necessary.
August 10, 2023
On September 18, 2021, a Mitsubishi Montero Sport rammed into a Mister Donut branch in Greenhills, San Juan, causing damage to the shop and a parked taxi. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. This incident adds to the growing list of SUA incidents involving the Montero Sport in the Philippines.
September 19, 2021
On March 17, 2021, a Mitsubishi Montero Sport GLS-V unintentionally rammed into the Land Bank EDSA Congressional Branch in Muñoz, Quezon City, injuring a bank employee. This incident is one of many SUA cases that have raised concerns about the vehicles safety. I believe that ongoing investigations and potential recalls are crucial to address these issues.
March 17, 2021
In December 2015, several incidents of sudden unintended acceleration involving the Mitsubishi Montero Sport were reported in the Philippines. One notable incident involved a Montero Sport slamming into concrete barriers on the Skyway Stage 3 construction in Quezon City. These incidents led to multiple class action lawsuits against Mitsubishi Motors Philippines.
December 16, 2015
In late 2015, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in the Philippines began investigating reports of SUA incidents involving the Mitsubishi Montero Sport. The investigation followed numerous complaints and incidents, including a fatal accident during a funeral procession in September 2014. I think its important for regulatory bodies to take such complaints seriously to ensure public safety.

Price

Pricing details and changes

When new the Montero 2009 was launched in India as a CBU at around Rs. 41.94 lakh ex‑showroom in Mumbai, and archived listings and classifieds record similar ex‑showroom levels in the Rs. 33.9–41.3 lakh range depending on variant and city; today you’ll only find them in the used market where asking prices vary widely by condition, kilometres and service history, typically reflecting a steep depreciation from the original CBU price but also a premium for well‑maintained examples because genuine parts and spares are harder to source. On‑road prices for a used Montero will therefore depend on your state’s road tax, insurance and registration—expect several tens of thousands more on top of the ex‑showroom/asking price—and factor in likely immediate costs such as tyres, battery, timing components and possible suspension/brake works when assessing the on‑road purchase outlay.
December 21, 2025
When the Montero 2009 arrived in India it was priced around Rs. 41.94 lakh ex‑showroom as an imported CBU at launch; later market listings and remarketing show asking prices varied widely with some listings and comparisons quoting much higher sticker comparisons (up to Rs. 68.5 lakh in some used/advertised comparisons) while used examples today trade far lower depending on condition and region. In practical terms for a buyer in India today you should expect no manufacturer new‑car ex‑showroom numbers (the model is discontinued here), so your buying route will be the used market where on‑road costs immediately include transfer, insurance and any restoration/maintenance the vehicle needs; I advise budgeting for higher-than-average maintenance, potential import or hard‑to‑find spares premiums and a thorough mechanical inspection before purchase because CBU heritage and low local volumes inflate running and ownership costs beyond typical diesel SUVs in India.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

Real‑world mileage for the 3.2L Montero in India typically falls in the 7–11 kmpl range depending on driving style, load and city/highway mix, so if running costs and fuel economy are a primary concern I would expect higher fuel bills than modern diesel SUVs and recommend calculating total cost of ownership including fuel, servicing and potential parts scarcity before buying.
December 21, 2025
Real-world mileage for the 3.2L Montero in Indian conditions typically sits in the low double digits—around 9–12 kmpl depending on driving style, load and city vs highway mix—so fuel costs and running expenses are notably higher than compact or modern diesel SUVs; if low fuel consumption is a primary concern I would steer toward more modern, economical alternatives or calculate total cost of ownership including fuel, servicing and parts premiums.
