The TJ Magna debuted in August 2000 and is the fourth model of the third generation Magna.

Externally, the front sported a "TransAm" style, with a bonnet that dipped down to the front bumper in the centre. On this was the Mitsubishi badge. The rear was also changed with the crease through the centre of the bootlid being deleted (the lid was now fairly flat) and tail lights with round indicators, brake and reversing lights inside of their triangular frame.

The TJ was the first Magna to introduce the VR-X model.

The base Executive TJ carried over the 3.0L V6 from the TH and introduced a slightly revised 3.5L V6. The 3.5L featured a new computer, camshafts and exhaust system increasing power from all-new computer, camshafts and exhaust system that marginally boosts its power output by 3 kW to 150 kW at 5000 rpm with torque remaining unchanged at 300 Nm at 4000 rpm.

The F4A51 INVECS II 4 speed automatic and F5M51 5 speed manual continued, with the Sports and VR-X having the option of the F5A51 INVECS II 5 speed automatic with sports mode.
