Mitsubishi displays its local lineup<\/p>\n
By Russell Williamson<\/p>\n
WHILE many carmakers choose to use motor shows to display
\nfuturistic concept vehicles or high tech models from overseas
\naffiliates, that is not the case with Mitsubishi.<\/p>\n
With the focus on trying to sell cars, the local importer, PT
\nKrama Yudha Tiga Berlian Motors, has chosen to display its
\ncurrent lineup and avoided any additional attractions.<\/p>\n
In passenger cars, the top of the line is the V6-powered mid-
\nsized Galant sedan.<\/p>\n
Powered by a 2500cc 24-valve SOHC V6 engine, which produces a
\nmaximum power of 115kW, the Galant offers good performance in a
\nstylish and distinctive package.<\/p>\n
The four-door sedan in five-speed manual form is priced at Rp
\n105 million and with four-speed automatic transmission Rp 112
\nmillion.<\/p>\n
As the company's top model, the Galant is available with all
\nthe equipment expected in this class of car, such as air-
\nconditioning, power windows and mirrors and central locking.<\/p>\n
Coming down in size, but not in quality or refinement, is the
\nsmaller four-door sedan 1600cc Lancer.<\/p>\n
The Lancer has been a good investment for the company, which
\ncontinues to be in the top three carmakers in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
With plenty of space for five adults, and reasonable
\nperformance from its four-cylinder engine, the Lancer easily
\ncompetes against its rival Japanese compatriot, Toyota's Corolla.<\/p>\n
For the adventurous, these two passenger cars are joined by
\nMitsubishi's most expensive vehicle, the Pajero.<\/p>\n
Priced at Rp 170 million, this full-sized four-wheel drive
\nwagon competes in the local market with Jeep's Cherokee and
\nToyota's LandCruiser.<\/p>\n
With the go-anywhere ability of its dual-range four-wheel
\ndrive system and plenty of power from a six-cylinder engine, and
\nits car-like ride and handling, the Pajero is well at home both
\non or off the road.<\/p>\n
Commercial vehicle customers are also catered for with
\nMitsubishi displaying its L300 pickup and the T120 minibus.<\/p>",
