The 1996 and 1997 Mitsubishi Diamante was a mid-size luxury sedan that marked a significant shift for the Japanese automaker. Unlike its predecessors, the Diamante was styled with a more sophisticated and upscale aesthetic, targeting a more affluent buyer demographic. It featured a spacious and comfortable interior with premium materials, advanced technological features for the time, and a smooth and refined driving experience. The 1996 Diamante was available with two engine options: a 3.0-liter V6 engine producing 190 horsepower and a 3.5-liter V6 engine generating 210 horsepower. Both engines were paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The model included standard features such as power windows, locks, and mirrors, along with air conditioning, cruise control, and an AM/FM cassette stereo. Higher trim levels offered leather upholstery, a sunroof, and a premium sound system.

The 1997 Diamante saw several significant changes. The most notable was the introduction of a new 3.5-liter V6 engine with a variable valve timing system, boosting horsepower to 215 horsepower. This engine also featured a new five-speed automatic transmission, enhancing fuel economy and performance. The 1997 model year also saw the introduction of an optional rear air suspension system, further enhancing the ride quality and comfort. Additionally, the interior design received a minor update with new seat fabrics and trim materials. The 1996 and 1997 Mitsubishi Diamante were well-regarded for their comfortable ride, smooth and responsive handling, and impressive interior space. However, they were criticized for a somewhat bland exterior design and a lack of driving excitement compared to some competitors. Nevertheless, the Diamante carved out a niche for itself as a well-rounded and sophisticated sedan that offered a balance of luxury, comfort, and performance.
