Mitsubishi Diamante is a full-size Japanese car manufactured by Mitsubishi Group from 1990 to 2005. In total, 2 generations of the model were made. The car was produced in sedan and station wagon bodies. The cars were assembled in Japan and Australia. In addition to modifications for domestic markets, there were export versions. Diamante was heavily marketed in the North American market. Translated from Spanish, the name of the car means “diamond”.
The first Mitsubishi Diamante was released in 1990. The car was equipped with V6 engines of 2, 2.5 and 3 liters. In addition to the sedan, there was a station wagon version produced in Japan. Also, the first generation Diamante had an all-wheel drive version.
In 1995, the second generation Mitsubishi Diamante was released. The range of engines has changed: 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 GDI. The station wagon and the all-wheel drive version disappeared from the lineup. The Diamante has been restyled twice.
In the domestic Japanese market, there was also a “charged” version of the Mitsubishi Diamante, which was distinguished by an audio system with a total power of 270 watts, a sports suspension, exclusive rims and an original exhaust system.
