Froy Dytianquin, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines’
AVP for Marketing Services, commented that “We remain to be
optimistic with the sales of the all new Strada for the coming months
as we try to expand its usage. The all new Mitsubishi Strada was built
not just as a pick up but also as an everyday work horse vehicle for
business, family and recreation. Therefore Mitsubishi Motors gave
it fresh and exciting styling, superb running performance, best in
class cabin roominess, a comfortable ride and SUV interior styling
and trim”. I would like to invite everyone to visit any of our
dealerships and test drive our new Strada to find out why it is fast
becoming the choice in the 4x4 pick up category.”, Dytianquin
added.
It can be recalled that the previous model Strada,
was able to secure and retain market leadership of the 4x4 pickups
for 7 straight years from the time it was introduced in 1997 and straight
to 2003. Now Mitsubishi is aiming to repeat or even surpass this feat
given the all new Strada’s class leading features, good running
performance and outstanding value for money proposition.
Aside its very unique and distinct styling, the all
new Strada features the latest Turbocharged and Intercooled Direct
Injection Diesel (DID) with Common Rail Diesel engine that is tuned
to run on locally available diesel fuel. Furthermore the all new Strada
boasts of having the roomiest cabin for better riding comfort at the
same time having the running performance found on expensive SUVs.
