Mitsubishi Magna TR Series |
INTRODUCTION
The Mitsubishi Magna TR was introduced in April 1991, and included the Executive, SE and Elite Sedan models. The GLX was not available until Novemer 1991. Station Wagons were introduced in April 1992 in all models except Elite.
The Magna is powered by a four-cylinder, 2.6 litre overhead camshaft engine which has two chain driven counter balance shafts mounted in the cylinder block to reduce engine vibration.
The electronic multipoint fuel injection system is standard on all models except GLX, which is equipped with a carburettor. Premium unleaded can be used in models equipped with fuel injection to gain a slight increase in power and torque. The use of premium in carburettor models will not increase the maximum power and torque.
The engine is mounted transversely and drive to the front wheels is transmitted through a five speed manual, or a 4 speed, electronically controlled automatic transaxle.
All models are equipped with MacPherson strut type independant front suspension. The rear suspension on Sedan models consists of a torsion axle supported MacPherson struts and located by two trailing arms that are integral with the axle and a panhard rod. On Station Wagon models, the rear suspension consists of a tabular axle located by two upper and lower control arms and a panhard rod. The axle is supported by coil springs and telescopic shock absorbers are installed between the body and the axle.
Power steering and four wheel, vacuum assisted disc brakes are standard on all models.
On SE and Elite models, the radio/cassette is equipped with a security system that renders it inoperable if the security code is erased due to the power supply being disconnected. The security code must be entered to permit the radio/cassette to function.
