Launched in 2003, the family car under the name Grandis was created under the New Age Premium MPV concept. Of course, he did not open a new "era of minivans", but for Mitsubishi itself, this model really became a landmark - then marking the transition to a new concept of corporate identity.
"Grandis" in due time laid the foundations for a new direction in the design of all models of the Mitsubishi brand. We can say that both the "ninth Lancer" and the "Outlander XL" went from it ... and many other striking models of this Japanese auto giant.
The interior of the Grandis is immediately impressed by the combination of traditionally high (for Japan in general, and for Mitsubishi in particular) build quality with a "non-Japanese" spectacular design.
Specifications:
- Engine power - 165 hp with.
- The volume of the trunk of the car (with the rear seats folded) - 1545 liters.
- Fuel consumption (combined cycle) - 10.0 l / 100.
Prices and configurations:
In fact, there is nothing for Russian buyers to choose Grandis: only a very rich version with a 2.4-liter petrol "four", aggregated with an automatic transmission MIVEC, is offered. The equipment includes ABS / EBD, alloy wheels, power accessories, climate control, heated seats, front and side airbags. The price of this "Grandis" is $ 31,090.
But ... beautiful appearance, spaciousness, comfort, powerful engine, rich equipment - all this, as it turned out, is not enough to be popular. In 2006, only 992 Mitsubishi Grandis units were sold in Russia. Buyers of the Grandis minivan are most likely scared off by the base price, which is higher than the “psychological barrier” of “$ thirty thousand” ... It would have cost, say, $ 29,900 - they would be more willing to take it :) ...
