Attrage
The bare-essentials budget sedan — lowest running costs in segment, generous boot, zero frills. · 5 seats
REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOMatheus Bertelli / PexelsOur verdict
5.8 / 10The Mitsubishi Attrage is the UAE's stripped-to-basics compact sedan — small engine, modest power, almost no tech, but an exceptionally large boot for the money and rock-bottom running costs. The 1.2L MIVEC three-cylinder returns around 5.0 L/100km, making it one of the most frugal non-hybrid petrol sedans on sale here. Al Habtoor Motors' 5-year/100,000 km warranty sweetens the deal, though the cabin's hard plastics, single airbag on base trims and lack of modern safety kit remind you exactly what you are paying for.
Who it's for — Ultra-budget buyers, fleet operators and daily commuters prioritising the absolute lowest purchase price and running costs over comfort, features or driving dynamics.
