The Mitsubishi Montero was a boxy, off-road-oriented SUV that was sold in the U.S. from 1983-2006. The core vehicle had a longer lifespan in other global markets, where it was marketed as the Pajero. The Montero originally launched in America as a two-door model; a four-door version was added for 1989 and quickly became the more popular of the two body styles. When the second-generation Montero debuted for 1992, it came only as a four-door on a longer, wider and lower platform. A third generation arrived for 2001, growing larger still and switching from a body-on-frame platform to a carlike unibody design. The Montero was discontinued in the U.S. after the 2006 model year. The Montero Sport, offered from 1997-2004, was a smaller, lighter and less expensive version of the Montero; it’s covered separately on Cars.com.
