The TR series Magna was the first model of the second generation and cost MMAL $300 million to develop. Like the TM the TR was initially released only as a sedan with the wagon appearing over a year later.
The TR was a larger car than the first generation being 130mm longer, 15mm wider and 46mm higher. The wheelbase also increased 120mm. This made the Magna similar in size to the then-current EA Falcon and VN Commodore.
The TR still used a McPhearson strut front suspension and torsion beam rear axle, although they were modified for the new body. The front suspension also included a front and rear crossmember for extra rigidity.
Initially the TR was only available in Executive, SE and Elite levels with the fuel-injected and revised Astron II. Mitsubishi however intoriduced a price-leading GLX model in November 1991 to compete in the fleet market - this model was fitted with the original Astron II and a carburettor.
Possibly the biggest change to the TR model came in March 1991 when the 12 valve 6G72 3.0 litre V6 became available as an option on the Executive.
