The Mitsubishi 380, a mid-size sedan produced from 2005 to 2006, marked a significant departure for Mitsubishi in its attempt to compete with established players in the European market. It was a stylish and modern car, designed to appeal to discerning drivers seeking a comfortable and refined driving experience. The 380 was built on a platform shared with the Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus, reflecting a collaborative effort between the two companies. It boasted a spacious interior, featuring premium materials and ample legroom for both front and rear passengers. Power came from a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. The suspension was tuned for comfort and handling, providing a smooth ride even on uneven roads.

Despite its appealing features, the 380 failed to achieve the commercial success Mitsubishi had hoped for. It struggled to gain a foothold in a competitive market dominated by established European brands. The 380 also faced criticism for its lackluster performance and fuel efficiency, as well as some reliability issues. Its relatively high price point compared to similar vehicles in the segment contributed to its downfall. The Mitsubishi 380 ultimately served as a cautionary tale for the automaker, highlighting the challenges of entering an established market with a new model. It ended production in 2006, leaving behind a legacy of a technologically advanced but commercially unsuccessful car.
