The Mitsubishi Attrage was officially launched in Malaysia after months of teasing and previews. The Attrage is a B-segment sedan that shares underpinnings with the Mitsubishi Mirage, and like the hatchback that was launched here a year ago, it is imported from Thailand.
The Attrage is powered by the same 3A92 1.2 litre three-cylinder engine as the Mirage. Here, the MIVEC engine makes 80 PS and 106 Nm of torque (78 PS/100 Nm in the Mirage), and majors on fuel efficiency. The headline figure is 21 km/l as measured in the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Choose between a five-speed manual and an INVECS-III continuously variable transmission (CVT).
The spectacular claimed FC figure is also helped by a low kerb weight of only 875 kg for the M/T and 905 kg for the CVT models. A low drag coefficient of 0.29 Cd also plays its part.
It’s pretty much par for the course under the skin. The Attrage is suspended by front McPherson struts and a rear torsion beam. Brakes consist of front ventilated discs and rear drums. The rack-and-pinion steering system has a best-in-class 4.8-metre turning radius. All variants roll on 15-inch alloys and 185/55 tyres.
Size wise, the smallest Mitsubishi sedan measures 4,245 mm long and 1,670 mm wide, which translates to a slightly smaller footprint than a Honda City, for instance (170 mm shorter, 25 mm narrower), although the Attrage’s 2,550 mm wheelbase is equal to both the City and latest Toyota Vios. It’s also 100 mm longer than the Mirage’s 2,450 mm wheelbase. The boot can take in 450 litres of cargo, or three golf bags.
Available in five colours, the Mitsubishi Attrage is priced from RM59,212 for the GL M/T, rising to RM67,978for the GS CVT. The SE CVT with all the bells and whistles will cost you RM75,796. All prices are on-the-road without insurance. The car comes with a three-year or 100,000 km warranty, plus a year of free maintenance.
