Mitsubishi Magna

The Mitsubishi Magna is a car of the upper middle class, from May 1985 to September 2005 by Mitsubishi Motors Australia Ltd.. was prepared in Tonsley Park ( South Australia). The engines were also built in Australia in the factory Lonsdale (South Australia ).

Before the Magna Mitsubishi offered as one of the three automakers Australia's no big family sedan as a competitor to the Ford Falcon and Holden Commodore. With the acquisition of works by Chrysler in 1980 they inherited only the Chrysler Valiant. Its production was discontinued in the following year and the Sigma became the largest Mitsubishi model in the Australian offer.

As the replacement of the Sigma decency, recognized the leaders that the width of the car played an important role for the Australian market. Therefore, the Chrysler engineers now working for Mitsubishi Australia were commissioned to design a wider car to compete against the Holden Commodore in the old Valiant segment. The fact that other manufacturers have followed suit, showing the success of the Magna concept. An example of this is the Australian Toyota Camry 1993, which also had a wider body than his Japanese counterpart.

As of 1992, the Magna a luxury sedan equipped with a larger engine with the name Mitsubishi Verada was set aside. The export models were called initially New Zealand Mitsubishi V3000, later than in the U.S. also Mitsubishi Diamante.

TM / TN / TP Magna (1985-1991)

Mitsubishi Magna TN Elite ( 1988)

The TM Magna 1985 there was only a 4- door sedan; one developed in Australia 5 - door station wagon was available only at the Magna TN 1987. The side profile was consistent with the Japanese Mitsubishi Galant from this period, but the car was several centimeters wider. He was named by Wheels magazine's Car of the Year 1985.

The Magna range of 1985 included the GLX (especially as a fleet vehicle), the Executive, the SE and the elite. In later years the sporty Elante and the Grand Tourer, as well as several special models came to. The Magna was front-wheel drive and a transversely mounted 2.6 -liter R4 engine, the Astron series, the. Predecessor from the rear-wheel drive, the Chrysler / Mitsubishi Sigma originated, The new machine had hydraulic engine mount and balance shafts ( a technique also used Porsche for the inexpensive ones ) to reduce the engine vibrations of such a large four-cylinder engine. Initially, the engine had a carburetor, but as of May In 1989, a fuel injection. The average fuel consumption was 11 l / 100 km (city) and 7.8 l / 100 km ( highway ), measured according to Australian standards.

The Magna had a five-speed manual transmission or a four-stage automatic transmission with overdrive (the button on the shift lever was switched from three to four steps); Lususmodell the elite there was only with automatic transmission. The front wheels were suspended by MacPherson struts, the rear axle shows a De Dion design and differed in sedan and station wagon.

In the more expensive versions of the SE and Elite Radio recorder was equipped with an anti-theft device that is no longer made the device in case of disconnection from the power supply with no code available.

Like many other Australian vehicles was plagued by many problems ( such as delicate cylinder heads and automatic transmissions ) that have been fixed in subsequent years, the TM Magna. The combination of the TP Magna and the Magna TR 2nd generation were sold for a time as a safari special models.

From Magna of the first generation, there were the following comments:

TM (1985-1987), only as a sedan

GLX ( carburetor ) - manual transmission and automatic
Executive ( carburetor ) - manual transmission and automatic
SE ( carburetor ) - manual transmission and automatic

TR / TS Magna KR / KS Verada (1991-1996)

Mitsubishi TR Magna Executive (1991-1994)

In 1991, the Magna was fundamentally redesigned; Sedan and wagon based on the Japanese Mitsubishi Diamante and Sigma hardtop. This range was larger, built stable and more powerful than their predecessors. Unlike the Japanese model on which it was based, had the TR Magna B-pillars, a simpler suspension and less electronics. However, the TR Magna was also intended for export and the quality was this claim.

Like the first generation Magna, there was also the TR at first only with four-cylinder engines. Since then, the Australian economy was still suffering from a recession, there was little interest in a six-cylinder model. But when in 1993 the economy recovered and fuel prices remained stable, there was the Magna TR with V6 engine, the same that was offered in the KR Verada since 1991. Magna and Verada had the same body, the Verada models (Ei and Xi) had larger bumper but for export to the USA and luxury accessories, such as an active suspension while Verada Xi. As of 1993, the V6 engine was also offered at the Magna Verada.

In March 1994, all models received a facelift and became the TS Magna or Verada KS. Both engines have been revised and the Verada got better equipment, including a new grille to distinguish themselves from becoming the popular Magna V6.

Most of these later 2.6 -liter R4- and 3.0 -liter V6 EFI engines have been converted to unleaded gasoline, which gave them much higher power and significantly more torque.

In 1996, the TS / KS models were replaced by the all-new TE series, the TS- suits were sold until 1997, until the TE wagon was ready. As evidence of the quality of Australian Mitsubishi car a station wagon was sent to Japan and established there the seeds for worldwide exports of Australian Magna represents the luxury export version of the V6 station wagon was in Australia in December 1995 as the Mitsubishi TS Verada Touring Wagon in sells limited edition, 81 pieces with a manual transmission and 99 piece with automatic transmission.

The current crash tests revealed that the series offered an exceptionally good accident protection for a contemporary family sedan with four-cylinder engine.

TE / TF / TH / TJ / TL / TW Magna and KE / KF / KH / KJ / KL / KW Verada (1996-2005)

Mitsubishi TE Magna Advance (1996-1997)

In 1996, the third generation of Mitsubishi Magna, the TE series (internal: Code YR ) ago. It was based largely on the Japanese Diamante without B-pillars. A 2.4 -liter R4 engine (code 4G64 -S4, 90 % new parts compared to its predecessor ) and a 3.0 L V6 were initially available, while a 3.5 -liter V6 fired the KE Verada, many of which were exported to Japan and the U.S. as Diamante. Magna and Verada were elected by Wheels on the Car of the Year 1996.

At this time the Magna Australia aerodynamischstes car was with a drag coefficient of 0.28. He had frameless windows, narrower B -pillar and was longer and wider than the leaked TS series. The boot capacity had become significantly larger and the front and rear footwells had risen. However, critics complained the lower headspace. Also did not like the combination of many gray interiors and high beltline that gave the occupants the feeling of sitting in a bunker.

The offer of the TE Magna included four-and six-cylinder engines, with a trend to more enthusiastic six-cylinder engines was because the gasoline prices for Australian conditions have remained relatively low. The offer was initially limited to two models, the Executive and the Altera, both with four-or six-cylinder, five-speed manual or four-stage automatic transmission. In October 1996, fully equipped Advance and Altera LS to come. The four-cylinder had 2.4 liters, made 143 hp (105 kW) and 205 Nm of torque offered for the 3.0 L V6 injectors were the corresponding values of 190 hp (140 kW ) and 255 Nm. Acceleration from 0-100 km / h and the pulling power of 80-100 km / h were significantly improved. The four-speed automatic INVECS II was new and could adapt to the driver's habits and the environmental conditions and so provide the optimum gear for every driving situation. The front wheels were independently suspended - in contrast to the more expensive Japanese Diamante, the rear wheels have disc brakes and an ABS was available on request. The braking system also included the first Australian " Banksia " parking brake, which was 10-20 % lighter and cheaper to manufacture.

The entry level model in the TE series was the Executive, the already -room facilities such as power steering, four speakers, electrically adjustable mirrors, remote control for trunk and fuel filler door, central locking and immobilizer. The Altera It included air conditioning, power windows and cruise control in series. On request, there were airbags for driver and front passenger, ABS, CD player and alloy wheels. The Advance and the Altera LS had ABS, CD player and alloy wheels as standard. In New Zealand all Magna and Verada were called from this series Diamante; previously they had been sold as V3000.

In the first half of 1997, the TF Magna and the Verada KF were introduced. The Magna, there were five versions: Executive, Advance, Altera, Altera LS and Sports. The 2.4 -liter four- cylinder, it was only in the Executive. Compared to its predecessor, the interior was improved and has changed the wheel covers; first time there was a speed alarm and cup holders. Executive and Advance showed the same appearance but the Advance had a better interior and had standard ABS and airbags. Altera and Altera LS had electric windows and some other equipment details, such as airbags, but the exterior colors were standard. The Altera there was no longer with a manual transmission, but only Executive, Advance, Solara and Sports. From June to August 1998, the limited edition Solara was offered, which was like the Advance equipped and additionally offered aluminum wheels and special colors.

The TF Sports, there were only four colors: Paris White, Flame Red, Nautilusblau Frontier and dark green. He was like the Executive equipped and offered an additional rear spoiler, red side strip, polished 16 " alloy wheels from the Verada and a special interior. This version came with the V6, which was easily combined with a four -speed automatic with Tiptronic and better handling bot: He had an additional 18 mm - stabilizer, 11 % stiffer springs, stiffer control arm bushings, and decreased by 10 mm ground clearance. On request, there were two airbags and ABS. In October 2008, this model was discontinued.

Towards the end of the TF Magna - series there were several new colors; the last TF ran in December 1998 by the band. The KF Verada 3.5 -liter V6 matched his predecessor with the exception of some additional equipment details, such as the speed alarm. Approximately 60,000 pieces originated.

TH Magna and Verada KH were introduced in early 1999, with the first cars emerged in December 1998. The revised cost AU $ 12 million There were some styling revisions as more aggressive grille, redesigned rear, upgraded interiors and completely new design of wheel trims and alloy wheels. Instead of the exterior color flames were now sienna red; Sableschwarz came about and otherwise the colors were taken from the TF / KF. The four-cylinder Magna was discontinued in March 1999 and the 3.5 -liter V6 of the KH Verada was now available in the Magna. The four-cylinder accounted for low buyer interest, as customers preferred larger and more powerful engines. The TH Magna was the first Australian car, which was equipped with ABS / EBD. A new detail of the equipment was on-board computer with integrated anti-theft alarm. Executive, Advance and Sports were available with a manual or an automatic, the Altera LS only with automatic transmission.

Mitsubishi was the first to Australian automotive manufacturer to offer a traction control system named " TCL " in its large automatic models, such as the Magna Sports. TCL was also switched off. In autumn 1999 there was a special model Solara and in April 2000 another called V6 Si. The Altera LS was set in 2000, as he was the Verada Si so similar. In 1999 the V6 models had no signs anymore, but the 2000 models had the lower right of the trunk lid again. From May to June 2000 caused 1,000 Executive LS, the Altera LS were similar, but no power windows, air bags, and special colors offered.

The Magna Sports participated in the Australian GT Production Car Championship and was able to record a number of successes in the hands of factory and privateer, Robert Chadwick. The car had a limited slip differential, as it later emerged in the TJ Magna Ralliart.

With the introduction of the TJ Magna / Verada KJ in July 2000, a more aggressive styling prevailed. The rough shape corresponded to that of the previous models TE to TH, or KE to KH, but the middle part of the hood was raised and the grille was shared by a wide vertical web in body color, a new chrome Mitsubishi character instead of the traditional three red diamonds wore. The Magna Sports and the new VR -X model had the same turn signal headlight combination as the Verada ( the first Australian car with parabolic headlamps ). Rear showed the trunk lid has a recessed center section and new tail lights with round lights. The conservative management of Mitsubishi Japan rejected the proposal of black diamonds for the Sports and VR -X models.

The TJ range comprised Executive, Advance, Sports and VR -X model. There a number of new colors have been introduced, such as a very bright Island Blue ( Aqua ) and Glacier Green ( Green Aqua ), but fell out of the offer after a few months. In May 2001, a darker Pacific Blue as a replacement for the above-mentioned two colors was introduced, and there were flames again. It was gray and beige interiors available that could be combined with any exterior color, but Grey was clearly preferred, so it was with the introduction of the Series II standard.

In the new model at the beginning of the 3.0 -liter V6 was still offered, but soon dropped in favor of the 3.5 -liter V6. 3.0l Executive models of the TJ Magna are extremely rare compared to those of the TH Magna. The 3.5 liter V6 has been slightly revised and now made initially 204 hp (150 kW), soon after even 211 hp (155 kW). For the first time there was a LPG variant whose motor 194 hp ( 143 kW ) made at 5,000 min-1 and at 4000 min-1 yielded a maximum torque of 296 Nm.

The new models VR -X and Sports now had a Ansaugverteilter with less flow resistance and less wear on the cam, what the engine power to 222 hp ( 163 kW) drove and caused a moderate sporting Auspuffton. The sport was available in all colors and had aluminum rims 16 "× 6" with standard tires, improved suspension with stabilizer bar and a rear spoiler. The mechanically similar VR -X was available in all colors, had aggressive looking body changes and the same alloy wheels and rear spoiler as the sport; came to extensions of the front and rear bumpers, widened wheel arches, side panels and chrome Aufpuffendrohre. At this time the TJ Magna Sports and Magna VR -X TJ were the fastest Australian six-cylinder models without charging over their rivals, the AU Ford Falcon XR6 / XR8, the. Holden Commodore S V6 Turbo and even the HSV XU6 The mechanism was later in the Verada, which were only available with automatic transmission, built and sold as TJ Verada GTV. The Verada GTV was offered in the U.S. as Diamante VR -X.

In May 2001, Mitsubishi brought about 200 copies of a TJ Magna VR - X Limited Edition with alloy wheels 17 "× 7", black brake calipers, black door handles and a Luxury package out that a partly black, held partly in body color fabric interior with red and blue Howe contained leather and matching instrument panel depending on the chosen exterior color, a silver- black leather steering wheel, silver center console, chrome plate for the shift lever, an improved Verada sound system with built into the dash four -disc CD changer and the Verada - board computer. Added to this was to request a sunroof ( with better interior lighting package ). There was also a Magna Limited Edition ( LE), which was based on the Executive and the following Verada - room facilities offered: Leather seats, parabolic headlights and fog lamps.

The optional sun roof there were later to all Magna models from TJ series II; the alloy wheels 17 "× 7" were standard on the VR -X models, as well as the climate control of the Verada. Sports models with automatic transmission, VR -X models and the Verada had now the five-stage Tiptronic, which offered the first Australian manufacturer Mitsubishi. The four-stage Tiptronic became standard on all other models of the TJ Magna Series II

In October 2001, Mitsubishi also made the Magna Ralliart along with the Magna Sports Wagon ago at the Sydney Motor Show. The latter was a Magna station wagon with the mechanics of the sport or the VR -X and several body modifications. The Magna Ralliart, however, was a concept vehicle that should manifest the capabilities of Mitsubishi rally - its styling reminiscent of the Lancer Evolution VI TME including the two-stage spoiler. As a prototype, the Magna Ralliart all-wheel drive and sports seats and a steering wheel Recaro want, and have owned an improved stereo system.

Because of financial problems brought the Mitsubishi Ralliart later only with front-wheel drive and own sports seats, leather steering wheel and - with Recaro leather (!) -, As well as an improved stereo out. He had 17 " alloy wheels and suspension components from Enkei, larger brake discs, an improved, sharper cam profile, modifications to the cylinder head, a newly recruited injection and free-flow exhaust manifold, the (180 kW) brought the performance to 245 hp; the wagons were with manual five-speed gearbox or five-stage Tiptronic. The automatic versions were similar to the Sports / VR -X models and therefore also had the TCL traction control, whereas cars with manual gearbox exclusive had a limited slip differential. Within the TJ- range Mitsubishi brought to a Sports Wagon, the extensive body changes, a sportier suspension and the same alloy wheels we had the sport sedan.

The TJ Magna was the official support vehicle of international Tour Down Under bicycle tour in Adelaide, where the cars and V6 engines were manufactured. 2001 won a TJ Magna Sports of the GT- Production " Showroom Showdown" Enduro race at Bathurst and a Magna V8 RWD participated in the Australian Super Touring Class Championship in the V8 Future Touring class part.

2001 43.492 Magna / Verada were prepared with 19,215 pieces were exported. The TJ Magna / Verada KJ was carried out in the USA, New Zealand, the Middle East and Puerto Rico - and for a time these cars were even used by the police in Iraq.

2001 Mitsubishi TJ Magna VR -X was chosen by the motoring journalists at the best high-performance car on the Australian market.

Since this year, Mitsubishi encountered rumors about the closure of the plant in Adelaide with a massive advertising campaign, which included free inspections and money back offers. In 2002, the export model Diamante won the New Zealand " Car of the Year " - prize for the " best big car ".

All-wheel drive

In 2002, Mitsubishi a series of four-wheel drive Magna and Verada - after the TJ Magna Series II had received some minor equipment improvements and side impact protection bars the export models. These were the first Australian sedan with all-wheel drive, which was a system called Quadtec to further highlight Mitsubishi's rally experience. The all-wheel drive model was a AU $ 7 million - project based on the TJ Magna based and the Ford Territory and the Holden Adventra as the first series -made four-wheel model proposed in the Australian market. The all-wheel drive system proved to be mechanically reliable and showed better handling than front-wheel drive models, but could not achieve a substantial increase in the sales figures.

The model had four-wheel and the Verada both the V6 engine with 209 hp (154 kW) and 310 Nm, while the Sports had a version with 216 hp ( 159 kW), 318 Nm and a free-flow exhaust manifold. The power and torque yield were of the front-drive Magna is easy to check because the additional drive train of the all-wheel drive the free-flow exhaust manifold took away some space, which led to a less favorable geometry. For its features, the all-wheel drive model needed a new bulkhead. Due to restrictions of a financial nature and the development of the TL Magna VR -X AWD was also only 16 "wheels instead of 17" copies of the front wheel drive version.

Originally peilte to 300 sales a month, but in August 2003 showed that only 150 four-wheel drive Magna could be sold in the month. All-wheel drive, there was for the Magna and Verada for only as a sedan and only with the automatic transmission, but the automatic was in any case a five-stage Tiptronic. Fleet operators and car rental companies bought up the entire 2002s - production, so that residential customers came to the wheel drive models of the TJ Magna in 2003.

In the TL Magna - series (see below) - where the sport models were recently referred to as VR - there was next to the driving characteristics of only slight name differences between all-wheel and front-wheel drive models. The four-wheel drive were significantly heavier than the front-wheel drive models, up to 140 kg, depending on model and options. The official figures for fuel consumption show only a small increase in consumption. As TL Magna VR wheel-drive model with the police in New South Wales was introduced, particularly in the Sydney region. The TL Magna AWD also won the Australian Rally Championship in his first race in 2004.

The production of the four-wheel models was set in 2005, when the Magna / Verada - series sedan was replaced by the Model 380.

Mitsubishi showed the new Magna first time at the New York Motor Show 2003. The car was reported as Diamante and intended for export to Canada. Mitsubishi Australia introduced the new series - TL Magna and Verada KL - before in July 2003. As the evolution of the Holden Commodore VX II VY ran to the the TJ Magna for TL Magna from: The car had new front and rear qualifications, a wealth of mechanical changes and a revised interior.

The models of this series would not be called more Executive, Altera and sport but ES, LS and VR. The only name was taken over VR -X. Also, a special model Solara it was again; It had electric windows, alloy wheels and a rear spoiler. If desired, the entire leather interior of the VR -X was to order. Other special models were the Ralliart from the VR and VR -X, which were advertised on TV with the help of Mitsubishi rally driver, ' Ed Ordynski '' and had Koni suspension components, special colors and alloy wheels of the original TJ Magna Ralliart. Engine and brakes remained unchanged from the standard model.

The new series had received a significant facelift by Frenchman and former Mercedes designer Olivier Boulay -. Mechanically, however, corresponded to the cars of the KJ / TJ series. The radical styling of the front end fell most people on first. The angular lines of the previous model had disappeared and were replaced by what the new Mitsubishi Design Board as "corporate design " for all Mitsubishi vehicles identified worldwide. The front of the sister models Magna / Verada had a striking, split radiator grille with a large chrome sign which showed the three diamonds, the same as it was also seen on the turbocharged Evo VIII and the little Colt / Mirage. Outside of the grille, the fender had an upbeat appearance and showed up with the triangular headlights, a rounded boot lid, a rounded rear bumper and the TJ Magna acquired taillights (only the VR -X had a darker tail light cover ). The new look has been much discussed and did not well received by the buyers. This sales fell inevitably drastically.

The TL Magna had a number of improved security details. All models met the new rules on the stiffness at impact with a deformable barrier and side impact. Airbags for driver and passenger were part of the standard equipment, as well as the side airbags in the backrests of the front seats. Although the wheelbase over its predecessors had not changed, it achieved a greater legroom for rear passengers with a different design of the front and rear seats. Other changes in the interior included the first use of the Magna air outlets for the rear seat passengers, and an electrically adjustable driver's seat. For the first time there was a desire on factory- installed navigation system and most of the cars had automatic climate control, but without the inherited from the Verada display of its predecessor. The control switch for the front power windows at the cheaper versions of the doors were moved to the center console to cost savings.

Mechanics and driving the Magna and Verada remain unchanged as compared with the respective previous essentially. The 3.5 -liter V6 engine with an overhead camshaft and 24 valves developed 155 kW at 5,250 min-1 and a torque of 316 Nm at 4,000 min-1 at Magna ES / LS and Verada Ei / Xi. The Magna VR / VR -X and Verada the GTVi maintained their improved 3.5 -liter V6 engine that made 163 kW at 5,250 min-1 and a torque of 317 Nm at 4,500 min-1 developed. All sedans have rear stabilizers.

In July 2003, the first TL Magna delivered.

A smaller facelift let the TL series for TW Magna will and the KL series with the KW Verada. They were introduced in late 2004 and are a sign of " Series II " and headlight surrounds can be seen in the body color.

In order to counter the slowdown in demand, paid to the end of 2004 the car with an extended warranty from. This helped to reduce the inventory, an important requirement for the planned transition to successor 380 The improved warranty included 3-5 years and a mileage of 130,000 - whichever comes first - and for the drive components for another 5 years or 30,000 km - but only for the original owner.

The series was marketed by an advertising campaign, which could be explained the director Tom Phillips: " If you find a better car - buy it! " This idea had Lee Iacocca had in the 1980s when he same American Chrysler buyers advice gave. This warranty in conjunction with the large advertising campaign and strong price reductions left the stockpile of 8,000 TL Magna (2004) and TW Magna (2004/ 2005) disappear. The warranty was for all Mitsubishi vehicles from 1 December 2004.

Although many new car buyers, the Magna series TL and TW scorned, these vehicles have been popular on the used car market, as they were of good quality and great reliability at a moderate price. Particularly sought were Used by government agencies that have been rebuilt as taxis and in South Australia, the birthplace of the Magna used.

2005, based in Western Australia Company Sprintex brought out a compressor for the 3.5 -liter V6, which helped the engine to an output of 225 kW and a torque of 422 Nm.
