Magna rates highest in security

MITSUBISHI’S newly released TL Magna and KL Verada series now leads the large car class in theft resistance.

Changes made to the car’s locking, as part of the extensive model upgrade, mean that it is now harder to steal than any of its competitors, according to the highly respected NRMA Security Rating.

Australia’s largest motoring club says the Mitsubishi Magna and Verada models are now at the top of the thieves “too hard” list when it comes to stealing large cars, with a score of 73/120.

This puts it clearly in front of Commodore on 70.0, Falcon on 67.5 and Avalon on 60.0.

When added to the other standard safety and security features – dual SRS air bags, side air bags, additional side intrusion bars, anti-skid brakes with Electronic Brake Force Distribution, front seat belts with pre-tensioners, emergency door unlock for front and side impact, rest reminder, remote keyless entry with panic alarm, central locking, two-stage door unlocking, alarm, and anti-theft encrypted immobilisation – TL Magna and KL Verada makes a compelling story for buyers seeking a safe, secure and refined large Australian car.
