The Mitsubishi Magna/Verada was a mid-size car produced by the Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors from 1996 to 2005. It was the successor to the Mitsubishi Sigma, and was available in sedan and wagon body styles. The Magna and Verada were essentially the same car, with the Verada being a more luxurious and upmarket trim level. The Magna was aimed at the mainstream family car market, while the Verada was intended to compete with vehicles like the Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon. The Magna/Verada was available with a range of petrol engines, including a 2.4-litre four-cylinder, a 3.0-litre V6, and a 3.5-litre V6. These engines were paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. The Magna/Verada was known for its comfortable ride, spacious interior, and decent fuel economy. It was also praised for its reliability. However, it was criticized for its lack of handling agility and its somewhat bland styling. Despite this, it proved to be successful in the Australian market, where it was the highest-selling large car for several years. It was also popular in other markets, including New Zealand, South Africa, and the Middle East. The Magna/Verada was replaced in 2005 by the Mitsubishi 380, but it remains a popular and reliable choice for used car buyers.
