Mitsubishi V3000 (first generation)

The first-generation Mitsubishi V3000, sold from 1988 to 1991, was a 3.0 litre V6 version of the Mitsubishi Galant manufactured locally in New Zealand by Mitsubishi Motors New Zealand. It was intended to sit above the heavily related but wider 2.6 litre inline-four Mitsubishi Magna (TN and TP) that was sourced from Australia. The V3000 name therefore marked the top of the New Zealand Galant range, and in 1991 it passed to a second generation built on the Australian-sourced Verada. The source article gives no body style, fuel or equipment details for this generation, so only its market, engine layout and lineage are recorded here.
