Mitsubishi Diamante

The two generation windows overlap (1995-01-01–1997-09-30). That overlap is in the dates as given; it is not a third generation.

1 generation of the Mitsubishi Diamante is an Estate 5-door produced from 1990-05-01 to 1997-09-30, with 9 versions. Eight of those versions are dated 1990-05-01–1994-12-31; one 3.0 AT 165 hp FWD continues from 1993-01-01 to 1997-09-30. Bodies in this generation stay Estate 5-door. Engines are Gasoline, 6 cylinders, V-shaped, boost No. Names in the data: 2.0 MT 125 hp, 2.0 AT 125 hp, 2.0 AT 145 hp, 2.5 AT 175 hp AWD, 2.5 AT 175 hp FWD, 3.0 AT 165 hp (two calendar windows), 3.0 AT 210 hp AWD, 3.0 AT 210 hp FWD.

2 generation is an Estate 5-door from 1995-01-01 to 2005-11-30, with 12 versions. Eleven versions share that full window; one 3.0 AT 200 hp FWD is dated 1997-10-01–2001-12-31 and is the only second-generation car with a 71 L tank and a Dependent, spring rear axle. Names: five 2.5 AT (170, 175 and 200 hp, FWD and AWD), five 3.0 AT (200, 230, 240 and 270 hp), and one 3.5 AT 208 hp FWD.

The two generation windows overlap (1995-01-01–1997-09-30). That overlap is in the dates as given; it is not a third generation.

Which version to choose

Compare only the numbers in this catalogue.

Lowest listed mass: 1 generation 2.0 MT 125 hp at 1360 kg, Manual 5, FWD. Next are the two 2.0 AT cars at 1400 kg. Among 2 generation, 2.5 AT 175 hp FWD at 1440 kg is the lightest.

Highest listed mass: 1 generation 3.0 AT 210 hp AWD at 1680 kg. In 2 generation, 3.0 AT 230 hp AWD at 1620 kg.

Most horsepower: 2 generation 3.0 AT 270 hp, 270 hp (199 kW) at 7000 rpm, 301 Nm, Automatic 5, FWD, 7.2 s to 100 km/h, 242 km/h, kerb 1510 kg. Economy for this version is not measured.

Most torque: 2 generation 3.0 AT 240 hp (FWD and AWD), 304 Nm at 3500 rpm. The FWD 240 hp is the quickest among cars with a measured 0–100 except the 270 hp: 7.8 s, 237 km/h, kerb 1510 kg. The AWD 240 hp has 1610 kg and 0–100 not measured.

Largest engine: 3.5 AT 208 hp, 3497 cm³, 208 hp, 300 Nm, Automatic 4, FWD. It is the only version with measured mpg (15 / 9 / 13) and the only one with measured gross weight (2000 kg). Its 10.3 s / 219 km/h match 2.5 AT 175 hp FWD, which has 1000 cm³ less (2497 versus 3497) and 1440 kg versus 1550 kg.

AWD versus FWD on the same name and power (2 generation): 2.5 AT 175 hp AWD is +90 kg versus FWD; 2.5 AT 200 hp AWD is +90 kg versus FWD; 3.0 AT 230 hp AWD is +110 kg versus FWD. AWD 0–100 and top speed on those three AWD rows are not measured.

1 generation AWD: 2.5 AT 175 hp AWD versus FWD: same 1660 kg, 11.3 s versus 10.7 s, 215 versus 214 km/h. 3.0 AT 210 hp AWD versus FWD: 1680 versus 1580 kg, 9.3 versus 9.1 s, 229 versus 231 km/h.

Fuel 92 versus 95: only 2 generation 2.5 AT 175 hp FWD and 2.5 AT 175 hp AWD use fuel 92. Every other version uses 95.

Automatic 5 versus Automatic 4 (2 generation): Automatic 5 sits on 3.0 AT 200 hp, both 2.5 AT 200 hp, both 3.0 AT 230 hp, both 3.0 AT 240 hp, and 3.0 AT 270 hp. Automatic 4 sits on both 2.5 AT 175 hp, 2.5 AT 170 hp, and 3.5 AT 208 hp.

If the requirement is a measured 0–100 under 8 s, the data leave two FWD cars: 3.0 AT 240 hp (7.8 s) and 3.0 AT 270 hp (7.2 s). If the requirement is a measured mixed consumption figure, only 3.5 AT 208 hp qualifies. If the requirement is Manual, only 2.0 MT 125 hp qualifies.
