Available in three variants (GL, GS, SE), the all-new 2013 Mitsubishi Attrage has only just made its official launch in Malaysia, with prices starting from RM60,980 to RM77,980 for the new B-segment contender (OTR with insurance).
And as if you weren’t already spoilt for choice in the B-segment, the new Mitsubishi Attrage falls directly into competition with the likes of the 2013 Nissan Almera, 2013 Toyota Vios and the 2013 Ford Fiesta Titanium.
The Attrage does however feature a much smaller engine than its competition, bringing only a knife of a 1.2-litre mill to a gun fight of 1.5 and 1.6 engines. However, because of this, the Attrage is priced far more reasonably than any of the rest, even under-cutting the super affordable Nissan Almera by around RM5,000, whilst putting up a decent list of equipment.
But for all the affordability and fancy equipment of the 2013 Mitsubishi Attrage, we reckon that 1.2-litre engine may find itself to be a bit too short on power when it comes to needed it. More on this is available in our preview drives of the Attrage in Thailand, below. But for now, here’s the scoop:
Prices (OTR with insurance):
Features and Equipment:
The list of creature comforts in the Mitsubishi Attrage sees a lot reserved purely for the higher-spec SE and GS variants, while the lower-spec GL does without many of these. All three variants do however come with Anti-lock Braking Systems, Electronic Brake Force Distribution, and dual-front airbags. There also share 15-inch alloys and reserve sensors across the four variants.
Also notable is the fact that the Mitsubishi Attrage is very, very light. For comparison's sake, the latest entry-level Toyota Vios model puts 1045kg to the kerb; likewise, the entry-level manual transmission version of the Attrage weights just 875kg - the automatic CVT is still lighter at 905kg.
Here’s how they score:
Attrage SE: LED daytime running lights, 2-DIN Touch Screen Audio with Bluetooth, reverse camera, body kit, MMM Security Tint Film, leather seats, leather-wrapped steering and gear knob, push start with smart key operation, reverse sensors, remote trunk release.
Attrage GS: Leather-wrapped steering and gear knob, push start with smart key operation, reverse sensors, remote trunk release.
Attrage GL: Limited to the standard equipment above.
We’ve seen from our test drives in Thailand and in a showcase at Paradigm Mall early last month just what the new Mitsubishi Attrage is all about, so for more details, have a look below:
