Year to Year Changes


1998 Mitsubishi Diamante: Not much change was evident in the new Diamante's second season. Antilock braking and keyless entry now were standard on both the ES and LS sedans. The LS gained a power moonroof and a Homelink remote-control transmitter to open the garage door.
1999 Mitsubishi Diamante: Little-changed this year, Mitsubishi's near-luxury sedan dropped to a single model rather than the previous ES and LS editions. Antilock brakes and a keyless-entry system were standard. A new Cold Weather Package option included traction control and heated front seats.
2000 Mitsubishi Diamante: A short list of modifications for 2000 included a newly standard anti-theft engine immobilizer and a newly optional in-dash 6-disc CD changer. After being abandoned for '99, the former ES and LS model designations were resurrected. In essence, the new ES sedan was equipped like the single '99 model, but with a CD player. The 2000 LS contained equipment previously offered in Luxury and Premium packages. However, foglights, heated mirrors and front seats, and traction control, were combined into a new All-Weather option group.
2001 Mitsubishi Diamante: Rear child-seat anchors were the only addition for 2001.
2002 Mitsubishi Diamante: Diamante got revised styling front and rear, and added a new model for 2002. The new VR-X version had 210 hp vs. 205 in the other trim levels.
2003 Mitsubishi Diamante: VR-X also gets a special black-mesh grille, aero-look lower body styling, cloth front sport seats, and wheel-opening flares.
2004 Mitsubishi Diamante: The Diamante gets only cosmetic changes this year, including a re-designed nose, restyled dashboard and center console, new colors and interior trim, and a standard rear spoiler for the VR-X.
