First released in 1985, the 2.6L, 4cyl, TM Magna was released
to replace the Mitsubishi Sigma. Made in Australia, the Magna
was effectively, wide-bodied version of the then current Galant.
This model was very good at the time and was given the 1985
Wheels Car of the Year Award. In 1987,
the Magna received it first facelift, and the new model was
designated TN. In 1989, the TP was released and was to be
the last of the wedge-shaped Magna's. These first boxy Magna's
were later found out to be troublesome things with early examples
having to get new engines, and auto transmissions.
In 1991, the first change in Magna's shape came about. The
new TR Magna came with an attractive curvy design and the
introduction of the 3.0L V6, along side the 2.6L 4-cyl. In
1994, the Magna was upgraded into TS form.
In 1996, another new shape came along. The TE Magna was released
with its striking modern design. It came along with a new
2.4L 4-cyl and existing 3.0L V6 engine. It was so good that
it won the 1996 Wheels Car of the year. In 1997, the model
was changed into TF form, yet the model was cosmetically the
same. This model saw the demise of the 4-cyl to just one model,
the Executive. The TH Magna came with minor improvements in
1999. This model also saw the loss of the 4-cyl, and the gain
of the 3.5L V6, previously available to the luxury Verada.
The 3.0L was limited to the Executive. In the year 2000, the
TJ Magna came and saw the a further cosmetic facelift. A major
facelift was made to rejuvinate the range and an aging model-
The TL. This model turned out to be a disaster, with Mitsubishi
losing sales, not only due to the controversial front end
treatment, but also due to global Mitsubishi happenings. Very
minor upgrade, TW followed in 2004. This brought an end to
the Magna saga, with the all-new '380' replacing the Magna
in October 2005.
