The actual testing of this famous SUV was actually a disaster in the automobile industry. In 2001, Lisa Lopes, a member of the famous group TLC, died in an accident where she was driving a Montero Sport. This was talked about by the whole industry, thus giving the Montero Sport a “not acceptable” rating when it comes to rollovers.
But due to the overhauls that it went on through the years, it revived itself from the rating and has then been popular worldwide. Right now in the Philippines, the Montero Sport has seven variants: the GLS-V 4×2 Manual, GLS-V 4×2 Automatic, GLS-V 4×4 Manual, GLS-V 4×4 Automatic, GLX 4×2 Manual, GLX 4×2 Automatic, and the GLS 3.0 V6 Gasoline Automatic.
