Mitsubishi Magna 2002 UAE Prices & Specs

The Magna was an all-new model back in 1997, replacing Mitsubishi's Sigma as their top-of-the-line sedan. Competing in the near-luxury segment against upscale brands, it never stood a chance, but soldiered on anyway unchanged right up to 2003, at which point it got a facelift. The Magna features a standard 3.5-litre V6 engine, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, a modern-at-the-time dashboard, decent suspension tuning and improvements in body structure that promise fair handling. Offered only as a sedan, the fairly-large Magna rode on a front-wheel-drive platform, and didn't overlap with the more-popular Galant, which was originally in between a compact and a midsize at that time. The Magna was available in essentially two flavours, namely a standard model and a sportier VR-X version. The Magna VR-X upgrades include a mesh grille, colour-keyed rear spoiler, aerodynamic side skirts, wheel lip moldings, sport-style bucket seats, unique seat fabric, and possibly sportier suspension tuning with slightly-increased engine power. Standard features on this redesigned sedan include dual airbags, 16-inch alloy wheels, tinted glass, a power driver seat, an AM/FM stereo with cassette and CD player, remote keyless entry, optional leather, optional ABS and a security system. A minor facelift came for 2000, before the major one in 2004.
