Tynan Motors proudly offers the extensive Mitsubishi range to the Sydney market, and believes that Mitsubishi Motors produces vehicles to suit all segments of the Australian market.
Mitsubishi is a major player in the Australian vehicle market, and produce quality new cars, trucks, utes and vans that have been awarded several accolades in the prestigious "Australia's Best Cars" awards.
After recently announcing a 2009 model year update to its popular Lancer small car range, Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited (MMAL) welcomes the new premium 2.4-litre Aspire sedan. The Mitsubishi Lancer Aspire will be presented for its first public viewing at the Australian International Motor Show, Sydney.
Designed to widen the appeal of the acclaimed Lancer range which includes three well-equipped sedans and the giant-killing Lancer Evolution performance sedan, the Lancer Aspire brings a fresh level of prestige and performance to the small-car segment. With a new 2.4-litre engine, the Lancer Aspire offers a more powerful, yet more economical driving experience than many of its competitors - including vehicles from the medium car segment.
Generating 125 kW of power @ 6,000 rpm and 226 Nm of torque @ 4,100 rpm, the Lancer Aspire provides the perfect solution to drivers downsizing from larger, less fuel efficient vehicles - especially those who wish to maintain high levels of spirited driving performance without breaking the bank when they visit the bowser.
At the same time, the new Lancer Aspire provides a cosseted driving experience with its unique exterior styling, large 18 inch wheels, and upgraded interior specifications.
Launching the vehicles in recent weeks, Mitsubishi's passenger vehicle product planning manager, Chris Maxted, said the Lancer Aspire 2.4-litre sedan represents a real opportunity for the company in the increasing small-car segment.
"We have found that up to 32 per cent of our new Lancer customers are coming to us from both mid- and large-sized passenger vehicles," Mr Maxted said. "While they don't wish to give up the luxuries of a richly appointed cabin or an energetic engine response, they do recognise the need to conserve their resources - and that's where the Lancer Aspire 2.4-litre sedan is a perfect match."
The Lancer Aspire's standard specifications come directly from the ground-breaking Lancer sedan range released just twelve months ago and include a host of safety and comfort features such as Automatic Traction & Stability Control, ABS brakes with EBD, seven SRS airbags, rain sensing wipers and dusk sensing headlamps, "Smart" key entry, climate controlled air-conditioning, electric windows, Bluetooth connectivity and steering wheel mounted paddle-shifters for the standard Continuously Variable Transmission.
But what sets the Lancer Aspire apart, beyond the new 2.4-litre engine, are some important styling and equipment touches.
Externally, the Lancer Aspire can be distinguished by a number of stylish chrome accents, including highlights to the radiator grille, belt line moulding and across the boot lid, as well as a black surround to the rear combination lamp. High Intensity Discharge headlamps with an adaptive front lighting system add to the high-tech appeal of the vehicle, while providing real-world safety benefits to occupants.
The comfortable interior appointments include black leather trimmed seats and a distinctive wood grain finish to the instrument panel, shift panel, and front console.
