Mitsubishi Grandis

The Grandis was conceived to replace Mitsubishi's earlier MUV cars, i.e. the Chariot, Nimbus and the Space Wagon. Mitsubishi Grandis was first launched in 2003 and sold in Europe, Japan, Asia Mexico and some other parts of America. It was even awarded “The Best MPV (Multi Purpose Vehicle)” accolade at the Bangkok International Motor Show.

Powered by cell technology, the new Grandis takes forward Mitsubishi Fuel Cell Vehicle initiative. Mitsubishi Grandis is way ahead from its competitors in terms of comfort and styling. The Grandis is probably the first multi-utility car that's a seven seater and is yet able to provide reasonable comfort to passangers, which is often a great challenge for all manufacturers. Its third row seats can be folded to make the luggage room more spacious. Also, and amazingly, the seats of the third row can be reversed and the passangers can even sit facing backwards. So even if seven people are traveling and the luggage room has been filled up you need not worry because Grandis has roof-box option for extra baggage.

This multi utility car will be available in both petrol and diesel variants. The petrol version with 2.4 ltr engine and diesel with 2.0 ltr. The diesel version has a displacement of 1968cc which generates a power of 134bhp and 31.61kgm torque. This latest Mitsubishi model can accommodate seven persons and is equipped with 5 manual gear transmission. It is loaded with a power steering, front disk and rear drum brake systems. To add to the comfort, it even has armrests with cup holders, safety airbags, climate control AC and manually adjustable drivers seat. This MUV's interior designing is excellent and the exterior gives a futuristic sporty look too. The Grandis is the first MUV which doesn't compromise with style and also gives a feel of a luxury car. The price of this promising product from Mitsubishi is expected to be in range of Rs. 15-16 lakhs in Indian market, however, pricing isn't expected to affect the demand of Grandis, as it is being perceived as a great value for money car.
