Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) the official distributor of Mitsubishi Motors vehicles in Malaysia, announced today the impending arrival of the all-new Mitsubishi Attrage. The new sedan is now open for booking at Mitsubishi showrooms nationwide ahead of its official launch in November.
“With combined fuel consumption of 21 km/l, the new Mitsubishi Attrage is Malaysia’s most fuel efficient sedan thanks to the aerodynamics of the vehicle (CO= 0.29) without compromising driving pleasure. It is a stylish and spacious sedan that is a practical and value for money choice in the B-segment,” said Tetsuya Oda, CEO of Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia.
Launched in Thailand in July this year, the Attrage, which enjoys eco-car status from the Thai government, has received overwhelming response from the market. The sedan is produced at Mitsubishi’s factory in Laem Chabang, Thailand. The name ‘Attrage’ is derived from the word ‘attractive’.
Powered by a modern 1.2-litre three-cylinder MIVEC engine with 80 PS of power and 106 Nm of torque, the Attrage is engineered for exceptional efficiency. Coupled with a low kerb weight of just 915 kg, the Attrage delivers more than enough power for everyday use. The sedan is also capable of 21 km/l fuel economy (In-house measurement data based on New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). (Actual range and fuel consumption may vary depending on driving patterns)
The Mitsubishi Attrage is an easy handling sedan that fits perfectly in the city with excellent manoeuvrability and a class leading turning radius of 4.8 metres, the smallest turning radius in its class.
The Attrage will be available here in four variants. The range starts off with the five-speed manual transmission GL. Those opting for the smooth INVECS-III CVT automatic transmission will be able to choose between GL, GS and the range topping SE specs.
All variants come with safety features such as dual airbags and ABS with EBD. GS spec adds on equipment such as keyless entry with push start button, leather wrapped steering wheel and gear knob, and digital automatic air conditioning.
The SE stands out further with a sporty body kit, LED daytime running lights, security window film, leather seats and a 2-DIN touch screen audio unit with USB, AUX-in and reverse camera.
Introductory prices starts from RM 59,000 on-the-road without insurance. Imported from Thailand, the Attrage comes with a warranty of 3 years or 100,000 km, whichever comes first. The first 1,000 bookings will receive a Garmin GPS.
The Attrage will be available for its first exclusive viewing at Paradigm Mall Ground Floor Promotional Area from 6-8 September 2013 (Friday-Sunday), 10am-10pm.
