Mitsubishi Triton GLS Double Cab 4×4 3.5 review.

A DRAMATIC new look for the Triton is expected to deliver a substantial sales kick to Mitsubishi Motors Australia and consolidate its position in the 4×2 and 4×4 segment, which accounted for more than 140,000 sales in 2005.
With a share of 7.1 per cent, Mitsubishi sits well behind market giants Toyota and Holden, who account for 22.1 and 17.3 per cent of sales respectively. (more…)

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2009 review.

Like every other automaker under the sun, Mitsubishi is in the process of expanding its reach into Russia. In 2007, the automaker offloaded over 100,000 vehicles in the world’s largest country (size, not population) and is looking to sell approximately 140,000 units this year. (more…)

Mitsubishi Colt review.

Mitsubishi has announced the addition of a new Special Edition to its super-mini range with the Colt 1.1 Attivo (meaning ‘energetic’ and ‘lively’ in Italian). (more…)

Mitsubishi Shogun Review.

The fourth generation Shogun went on sale in February 2007 and Mitsubishi tells us that this latest version is not so much a facelift but more of an ‘evolution’, with over 70 per cent of the components renewed. (more…)

Mitsubishi i 2008 review.

I’m the resident kei car obsessive here at Autoblog. That means I’m the guy who actually thinks, “That is awesome,” when he reads the (Google translated) announcement of yet another Suzuki Wagon R variant. Hell, I did two posts on the one-off Hello Kitty Mitsubishi i. Keis are cool. So, you can imagine how happy I was to see that Mitsubishi brought along a small fleet of its i minicars to the New York Auto Show this year. (more…)

Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback 2008 review.

Mitsubishi announced today that it will unveil the production version of its Lancer Sportback and Lancer Sportback Ralliart at the Paris Motor Show in early October. The Lancer Sportback is just what it sounds like, a five-door hatchback version of the recently redesigned Lancer model that’s on sale around the world. Mitsubishi already revealed in its latest global business report that it would be selling the Lancer Sportback in the U.S. as well, but the only time frame given was sometime after the introduction of the Evo X, which is already on sale here.

Mitsubishi Endeavor LS 4dr SUV 2008 review.

There’s more to the 2008 Mitsubishi Endeavor than huge fender flares and exaggerated body bulges. That’s saying quite a lot, since this midsize five-passenger crossover SUV is festooned with the type of body adornment that makes you wonder if the folks at the factory accidentally included the prototype’s styling excesses on the production model. Yet between the Endeavor’s love-it-or-hate-it swollen sides is a vehicle that offers solid driving dynamics, a gutsy V6, a roomy cabin and good build quality. (more…)

Mitsubishi L200 2008 review.

Tom Walkinshaw began his motorsports career in 1968 and then formed Tom Walkinshaw Racing in 1975. Now with over 30 years’ experience in performance engineering, they have turned their expertise on the special edition Mitsubishi L200 double cab pick-up. (more…)

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X 2008 review.

On the road price: £27,954 - £32,454

For : Handles superbly, acceptable comfort and refinement, semi-auto option

Against : Engine sounds rather flat, cabin refinement not the step forward we had hoped

DrivingIf you’re thinking the Evo isn’t as hardcore as it once was, you’d be right. From the word go it feels more refined, secure, solid and stable. (more…)

Mitsubishi Montero review.

Mitsubishi Montero continues to provide the tailored comfort, convenience and gracious toughness that its buyers seek in their sport-utility vehicles.

The Montero is one of the most versatile trucks in its category. It offers serious off-road capability and a sumptuous interior. It’s an all-weather highway cruiser and a part-time backcountry buster. It offers a smooth ride, whether on the highway or on rippled dirt roads. (more…)
