Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia has revised the spec of its Grandis MPV, which now comes with a host of new luxury features. They include xenon headlamps with auto leveling, a 2-DIN (6.1-inch) LCD touch screen head unit with GPS and reverse camera visual display, keyless entry and start, roof rails and a powered tailgate. Red metallic joins the four original exterior colours.
With all that, the price has increased from the previous RM160,557.80 (OTR without insurance) to RM165,427.80. RM5,000 for all that equipment sounds like decent value. Speaking about value, the Grandis already looks good next to the RM154,714.10 Honda Stream RSZ with more space and more engine.
The Grandis is powered by a 4G69 2.4-litre MIVEC engine with 163 bhp and 217 Nm, paired to a four-speed auto with manual mode. Other standard kit include two airbags, ABS/EBD/BA, rear 8″ LCD monitor, leather seats, climate control with rear manual adjustment, a bodykit and 17-inch wheels.

very expensive..
very nice…always prefer this than Stream or recon Estima
Additional about RM5000. I would say worth with new features and accessories listed. The xenon headlamps look cool. Hahaha….
Alza additional 6k didn’t even have 16″ rims & HID or 8″ LCD monitor… T_T
Common Proton do a JV with MMC and soon we
will be able to see more of these on our streets.
Ditch the Sagas and aim for the higher end market.
If the soon to be released Lancer-Waja is MMC based then
i see synergies in this deal. Don’t forget that MMC has its EV’s too
which is already in production.
Actually MMC already interested with Exora.
Why does the Lancer comes in 6 speeders and not the Grandis ? I bet it is more fun to drive when it’s a 6 speeder and petrol economy can be maximized. Throw in paddle shifters, then it’s gonna be one sporty MPV.
Lancer is CVT wt 6 virtual speed ….this is normal auto box
TOYOTA, please wake up. where is your latest generation WISH? it has been around in singapore for quite some time. to grandis, it is a nice update.
T should brind dual vvti engine first!
this is large mpv., estima range….Toyota, when are u going to bring estima officially?
yeah, new wish and odyssey already in singapore… please bring that too!!!
Paul read lots of reviews re Grandis from European websites, seems ride and handling are not as good as it’s good looks, is that true? Have you reviewed the new spec Grandis yet, would be interesting to hear more.
Space and power vs stream low cost fuel n maintenance,,,,its your choice mate
Indeed this Grandis is more valuable comparing to stream or wish. The interior is much more plush and of very good quality. Space wise win hands down vs the duo. Good alternative to an used estima…
4 speed auto seems like ancient to me….bt grandis will always be a good looking sleek mpv
first!!!
bandwidth waster…
The Grandis is getting old, but it ages gracefully. Good value compared to smaller sized Stream & Wish.
When Mitsu rebadge proton exora?
This MPV was launched in 2003, making it very old. Still it looks good.
I can’t find it in Mitsubishi’s Japanese website, is it still being sold in Japan or only produce for other countries?
Reviews from S’pore websites complain of its thirsty engine. May be an update to the latest engine would be nice….
Yep, thirsty…UK reviewer recommend the diesel and just forget the petrol version…but we dun hv the diesel here
Come on, another stock clearing exercise? This thing really needs a model change, looks dated
Danny,
Does the MPV have ESP?
>RM150k MPV with no ESP is disappointing.
No ESP. Can’t have it all I guess
FOUR SPEED? Didn’t that transmission burn in hell a long time ago?
It doesnt have DOG (I mean DOHC) as well. GRANDIS can change name to GRANNYS
dohc or sohc depends on the maker..both got its own advantage..sohc doesnt mean ancient at least they got mivec long before cps came into our life. regarding the 4 speeder..grandis is an old model..i dont think mitsu need to change the tranny..maybe they gonna use it on new model..who knows? pug 308 still use 4 speeder.
pug 308 still use 4 speeder… unfortunately.
DOHC is rather dated technology. Do you know the latest Honda model comes with SOHC? And do you know that the lates VW engine is 8 valves for 4 cylinders?
GPS as standard…great.
looks like exora
In picture yes like exora, in reality a lot bigger with nice rear.
Nice and sleek MPV. Prefer this one against wish n stream.Value to buy.
I own the earliest FL model. Riding and handling satisfactory but the engine noise sometimes disturbing. And with 17 inches tyre, the road sound is also noisy. However very practical for its purpose as an MPV.
Looks like Pug 3008 still the best offer MPV with every alphabet of safety throw in just under rm150k
Quick question..
Pug 3008 = 1.6cc right?
already seen it real..quite small compared to crv. but the turbo..nyum~
Wait for the 5008 7 seaters mpv…same 1.6THP engine wt the 3008…thts will be great if price is kept below 150k
Nice mpc..loaded with features.. Rather get this than those recond/used wish, caldina, elgrand, stepwagon,…..etc
Recond got gps but in japanese.
I thought they will put audio button on the steering like pajero sport. but they don’t!
ever consider a honda ODC? at that price, can buy a nice recon 200bhp Odyssey!
Recon cars are actually overpriced 2nd hand cars. 1st, I don’t trust what the previous Japs owner did in the car, 2nd usually you can add 2-3 years to the car meaning if you use it for 5 years, its actually 7-8 years old already-usually that’s the age of wear and tear will set in. 3rdly, with much recalls for especially Japanese Domestic Market models, it’ll be a major headache even our local mechanics can repair them properly at all or even worst, it’ll be expensive.
I second that. The most years a japanese would use thier car is 5 years. More than that, it is illegal.
This Grandis can compare with the Estima anytime interm of the size and look~~
at least when u wanna get a recon old model Estime..can deeply consider getting this brand new Grandis~
way better bargain if were to get a 7-seater MPV~~
not bad!!!
Waiting for diesel grandish….
Im owning 2004 odc L type. Problem with wear and tear.
Better buy new with affordable price. Grandis can be consider.
Hi Adi_7667, u said 2004 odc L type got problem with W&T, do u means very hard to find the parts? or the parts very expensive?
I’m interested to know these problems as well.
Buy Starex lar…..cheaper,bigger and better torque.
It looks like a van too.
When Exora came out last year,firstly I think Proton copied grandis’s design,but when I saw that photo,it looks like Mitsu copied a little bit design from Exora,especially that grille and the front bonnet.
yeah, cause Proton’s design are sooo influencial right? It’s their first MPV, obviously they took design cues from other car makers, it’s not rocket science.
why would a superior manufacturer would want a carbon copy from a lesser being?
Wow, posh jappy. With that price I can buy 2 Protong Exora with beef up spec. I doubt 80k per exora (15K buffer) I can’t have it mod until look like this. I can even change the engine dude…
Exora Grandis.
One of our company car is Grandis. Looks is nice and sleek but that’s about it.
1. Lousy FC. U can actually see the fuel gauge dropping.
2. Very cram 3rd row seat for a MPV this size.
3. Don’t feel confident taking on a curvy corner even though it sits very low (see from outside)
Rented tis in langkawi for 5 days.Superb handling and power was tremendous.Was goin up hill gunung raya without a hussel.Very robust and worth a buy tis MPV
R u the Dealer? Sound like 1~
To those who never drove tis MPV or test drive,u are commenting like a white elephant.To those who spoke about Exora,compare a epal to a epal.U guys are comparing a epal an a orange.Does not make sense at all
I own this car for almost a year. I drove 2000 cc cars all the times. I dont feel the fuel cons. is too high. I drove estima yr 2002 model in the past, 4 speeds and FC was high too. But if you drive Kancil, you will be surprise on the FC.
We surf this site to share our experience and thoughts but not to read jokes such as “Mit copy design q from Proton”, but the Grandis launched in 2003 and exora in 2009.
Agreed. I own this car as well. FC, not much diff from my Accord 2.0. Third row seat, satisfactory for average adult. And please dont compare it with exora..
how much FC for this grandis? do anyone have an idea?
i own this MG for a year. always travelling pg -kl on average speed of 110km/h the fc is about 11.3km/l
I always admire Grandis size and price but there is one thing i cannot live without for a proper MPV, that is a SLIDING DOOR. I just hope and wish they will come with one then my search for an ideal MPV will end here.
i think mit grandis is a better mpv than estima.FC not bad,and nice sound system
i bought a grandis in may and boy, it was a good buy,
now 2015, year 2010 grandis still smell and performed as new car.
