Road TestCar reviews - Mitsubishi - Verada - GTVi sedanMitsubishi modelsOverviewMitsubishi replaces its range-topping Verada GTVi after just three months26 Aug 2003 CONTROVERSIAL, appealing design. Smartened-up interior. More room. As ever, outstanding performance. Is anybody listening? The new Magna and Verada range, and in particular the prestige sports tourer that in a sense bridges both brands, should be generating more interest among consumers than it appears to have done so thus far. Now a permanent model, Verada GTVi excels on the road and has some exclusive features thrown in. But it needs more of them to really come into its own. Model release date: 1 June 2003 to 1 September 2005 All car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen Previous modelPERHAPS the earliest direct predecessor to the sports-luxury Verada GTVi tested here is the KJ Verada GTV, released in July, 2002. It featured the same 163kW 3.5-litre V6 that continues today, and was discontinued in March, 2003 to make way for the facelifted and renamed KJ Series II GTVi, which sold between March and May, 2003. It was discontinued after just three months to make way for the facelifted TL/KL Magna/Verada that went on sale in June, 2003. |
