Mitsubishi Grandis Specification


The Mitsubishi Grandis is a car that�s all too readily overlooked just because it�s not one of the big names in family transport. It looks great, drives far better than it should and has a whopping and genuinely clever interior.

There are two engines to choose from, neither of which is a sure fire winner. Both petrol and diesel take around 11 seconds to see off 60mph, but the slightly noisy diesel at least can provide dramatically superior fuel economy.

In the inherently uncool world of the large MPV the Grandis at least looks the part. And the fact that it's half-decent to drive gives it another edge over the usual mumsy fair out there. Bold, swoopy interior design can't quite hide the fact that some of the plastics are a bit cheap. The diesel engine is sourced from Volkswagen though, so that should be very strong.

This is what it all boils down to with MPVs, and the Grandis isn't to be found wanting. A proper seven-seat configuration that folds and concertinas and all sorts. It's not the biggest or easiest to use, but it's right up there. If you take the Renault Grand Scenic as the mid-size MPV benchmark then the Grandis fairs well on initial purchase price. It might not hold its value like some of the more desirable cars in this segment though, so you could lose out in the long run.
