Mitsubishi Diamante 1995-2005 Specifications

The Diamante achieves an average of 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway, which is competitive with other mid-size sedans of the era, such as the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord.

Recommended maintenance includes oil changes every 3,000-5,000 miles, tire rotations every 7,500 miles, and a comprehensive inspection every 15,000 miles. Timing belt replacement is advised at 60,000 miles.

Notable features include leather upholstery, power-adjustable seats, a premium sound system, and a sunroof. Higher trims offer advanced features like automatic climate control and a navigation system.

The Diamante offers 14.3 cubic feet of trunk space and a spacious interior with 97.6 cubic feet of passenger volume, comparable to the Acura TL and Lexus ES of the same era.

The Diamante is not rated for towing. Its maximum payload capacity is approximately 900 lbs, making it suitable for light cargo but not for heavy hauling.
