The 1990-2000 Mitsubishi Diamante is a mid-size luxury sedan that marked a significant shift in Mitsubishi's approach to the North American market. Introduced in 1989 as a 1990 model year vehicle, the Diamante aimed to compete with established luxury players like the Toyota Cressida and the Nissan Maxima, with an emphasis on sophisticated styling, refined performance, and a comprehensive list of comfort and convenience features. The first generation Diamante, produced from 1990 to 1993, was powered by a 3.0-liter V6 engine, available with a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. Later models received a larger 3.5-liter V6 engine and a redesigned suspension, enhancing both performance and handling.
The second generation Diamante, launched for the 1994 model year, further solidified the car's position as a premium offering. It featured a more aerodynamic design, a more refined interior, and a range of available luxury features such as leather upholstery, heated seats, and a Bose sound system. Mechanically, it continued to offer the 3.5-liter V6 engine, now paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission for improved fuel efficiency and smoother acceleration. The 1996 model year saw the introduction of a 3.0-liter V6 engine with a variable valve timing system, delivering increased horsepower and torque while maintaining efficiency. While the Diamante never achieved the same market penetration as some of its Japanese rivals, it earned a reputation for its comfortable ride, spacious interior, and reliable performance, solidifying its place as a solid contender in the luxury sedan segment.
