The Mitsubishi 380, a mid-size sedan, was produced from 2005 to 2008. Introduced as Mitsubishi's flagship model for the Australian market, the 380 aimed to compete with established players like the Toyota Camry and Holden Commodore. It was designed and engineered at Mitsubishi's Australian design center in Tonsley, Adelaide, a departure from the company's traditional Japanese development strategy. The 380 featured a distinctive design with sharp lines and a dynamic profile, incorporating a large, vertical grille and prominent headlights. While the 380 boasted a spacious interior, comfortable seats, and a well-equipped cabin, it was criticized for its lack of driving excitement, an underpowered engine, and a bland driving experience. Despite these drawbacks, the 380 offered a competitive package for its price point, incorporating features like electronic stability control, dual-zone climate control, and a high level of standard equipment. Under the hood, the 380 housed a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine producing 125 horsepower, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The 380 was offered in three main trim levels: ES, LS, and VR-X, each offering different levels of features and amenities. Unfortunately, the 380 never achieved the sales success Mitsubishi had hoped for, leading to its discontinuation in 2008, marking an end to Mitsubishi's ambition to capture a larger share of the Australian car market. The Mitsubishi 380 remains a testament to the company's efforts to adapt to the demands of a specific market, even if it fell short of achieving its full potential.
