Under the attractive aesthetics of the previous generation Mitsubishi Montero, the Galloper Super Exceed 2.5 Tdi LX Largo, which is offered at a very attractive price, hides a well-rounded, comprehensive model and lavishly equipped, although with far fewer technological and prestacionales ambitions the model from which it comes.

Montero lovers who could not access in their day to this model for economic issues have been opened the gates of heaven with the emergence of newcomer Galloper Super Exceed. And no wonder, since under this denomination, Galloper put on the market an almost perfect clone of the Japanese model, but at a popular price. However, no one should be deceived. If the aesthetic similarities between the two models are obvious, the techniques are not so and highlight the sections in which has gotten the scissors to get the adjusted price at which the model usually sells, and LX version we tested today in particular.

Regarding it and starting the analysis of this technical section, highlight the first difference with respect to the model derived is found under the front hood. Thus, the Super Exceed is not moved by the powerful 2.8 turbo diesel intercooler 128 hp “Mitsu” but by the more discreet 2.5 99 hp fitted current Galloper Exceed. And if we consider that the Super Exceed weighs just over two tons (2,007 kg., According to our scale) and its aerodynamics is not the best ally to fight the wall of air, it is not surprising that the benefits remain a low profile. 20.5 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h and almost 40 to cover the kilometer standing start are figures say little of the power of this tetracilíndrico of 2,477 cc.
However, Galloper, in a laudable attempt to remedy this lack of “punch” model gives a five-speed manual transmission with very short development (34.1 km / h at 1,000 rpm in fifth) and closed, allowing extract the maximum of mechanics. This is also the technical feature saves some extent car papers in other measurements as overtaking, as they facilitate the engine to recover from lower and mid easily. However, this attempt to win vividness is the counterpart of that road, extrashort these developments force the engine to work almost continuously at the highest point of cuentavueltas. Suffice it to mention that at 120 km / h the engine is already turning over 3,500 rpm In fifth! This causes consumption, discrete speeds below 100 km / h, increase considerably if travel rates remain above 120 km / h.
