4th Gen Montero Sport (2023)

Well they better make it more spacious over the current model. Kasi the third-gen fails miserably in terms of space growth over the previous model. This should be especially if it will be the brand's new flagship suv succeeding the pajero. Also the gas tank as well. Anliit versus competition (68 liters vs. usual 80 liters).

I'm wondering though if those signature big a$$ bumper headlights are susceptible to cracks and scratches due to road stones flying onto it. Parang takaw sa tama kasi sa ganyan ang placement niya.

I think you'll find those bumper mounted lights are about the same height lang as the headlights on a passenger car.

It's actually a good idea to place the lights there so they can actually illuminate the road. Pag sa usual position kasi eh ang taas na sobra ng hood ng mga SUVs ngayon that headlights placed up there only illuminate far away and not the immediate vicinity, thus necessitating the use of "fog" (really driving) lights for up close illumination at night.

Naku, edi mawawalan na pala ng silbe ang true fog lights kung ganun.

if only they'd aim these lights more conscientiously.
many of these so-called fog lights or driving lights that are installed into the bumper, are dazzlingly bright to the oncoming driver.

It hasn't been discussed but the 2023 or 2024 pajero sport will be based on the navarra. Nissan must be developing a prado killer if it wants that huge market in Australia.

My beef with this is that I (subjectively) think that the Montero Sport platform and drivetrain is better than Nissan's Terra/Navara platform. Mitsubishi's AWD system with the Aisin 8AT is pretty good and has come up on top of the Navara in several Aussie group tests.

The sad truth is that Mitsubishi went bankrupt years ago. So now, they will just follow the mandate of their new owners. If not Nissan, Mitsubishi could have been taken in by any of the Chinese auto companies.

It could have been the other way. Like what Geely did, taking in the technology of Volvo and marketing it to their advantage.

Or Nissan might simply borrow the Montero's 8 speed AT and dropped it on their Terra.
