Attrage

The Mitsubishi Attrage has made its way to Mitsu showrooms nationwide, and is available for viewing and test drive, so you don't have to wait for its official launch in November to get to grips with the car. It'll also be available for test drives this weekend, October 4-6 at the Matrade in Kuala Lumpur as well as KSL Mall in Johor Bahru.

We know the full specs of the inbound Thai-built car, as offered during a static display run at Paradigm Mall recently. The Attrage is available in three variants - SE, GS and base GL variant, all with CVT, and there's also a five-speed manual GL version. All are of course powered by a 1.2 litre 3A92 three-pot with 80 PS and 106 Nm of torque.

All variants come with dual airbags and ABS with EBD - the GS trim features items such as keyless entry with push-start button, leather-wrapped steering wheel/gear knob and automatic air conditioning. The SE adds more in the way of kit, with a sporty body kit, LED daytime running lights, security window film, leather seats and a two-DIN touchscreen audio unit with USB, AUX-in and reverse camera.

Order books have opened for the Attrage, with estimated prices starting from RM 59,000 for the 1.2 Manual (M/T), RM 69,000 for the 1.2 CVT GS and RM 75,000 for the 1.2 CVT SE-variant, on-the-road without insurance. The first 1,000 bookings will receive a Garmin GPS. You can read our preview drive report of the Attrage in Thailand to find out if it's your cuppa.
