2017 Mitsubishi Strada GLS 2WD

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corp. (MMPC) took the challenge of spicing up its game in the Pick-up segment with the introduction of an additional variant, the Strada GLS 2WD. Known for possessing the power and reliability of a traditional pick-up while having car-like comfort and ease of handling, the new Strada makes exploring outdoors more convenient and enjoyable.

The Strada GLS 2WD is now equipped with the 4N15 MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control) Clean Diesel engine and is available either in 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmissions. Last year MMPC introduced the 4N15 MIVEC Clean Diesel equipped Strada GT 4WD variants and was chosen as the Best 4WD pick up in the Truck of the Year Awards of the Car Awards Group, Inc. Features of the new Strada GLS 2WD variants are as follows:

Engine & Transmission
The new Strada GLS 2WD brings forth a new level of performance as it is equipped now with the 2.4 liter MIVEC Clean Diesel engine. The new MIVEC Clean Diesel maximizes power through its Variable Geometry Turbo at the same reducing fuel consumption and emissions with its variable valve timing and lift system, the only one in its kind in a diesel engine. Power output is rated at 181PS at 3500 rpm and 430 Nm of torque at 2,500 rpm. The new MIVEC Clean Diesel engine keeps the Strada GLS eco-friendly without sacrificing its speed and power which enthusiasts demand in a pick-up.

Complementing the new MIVEC Clean Diesel engine is the new 6-Speed Manual Transmission and 5-Speed INVECS-II Automatic Transmission with Sports Mode. The 6-Speed Manual Transmission lets the driver feel in total control of the vehicle with its wide gear ratio and highly efficient clutch operation. Meanwhile, the 5-Speed Automatic Transmission lets the driver handle the vehicle with ease without sacrificing sportiness with the Sports Mode feature which lets the driver shift up or down with a flick of the lever for sporty, spirited driving.
