Mitsuoka Viewt Royal Edition revives the lost spirit of classic Jaguar

You may have lost faith in Jaguar given the brand’s new direction.

However, Mitsuoka is the answer you’ve been searching for to rekindle that long-lost ‘aura.’

Introducing the Mitsuoka Viewt Royal Edition, inspired by the design of the classic Jaguar Mk2 from the 1960s.

The Mitsuoka Viewt has actually been on the market since 1993, originally based on the Nissan Micra and March.

For this latest offering, Mitsuoka has now adopted the popular Toyota Yaris as its foundation.

This new Viewt Royal Edition is a special edition featuring three exclusive colors: Royal Green, Royal Red, and Royal White.

Similar to the standard Viewt, the Viewt Royal Edition comes equipped with chrome front and rear bumpers, round-shaped headlights, and a chrome grille.

Inside the cabin, the Viewt Royal Edition boasts Royal Brown faux leather trim on the seats, door panels, and lower dashboard section.

Utilizing the TNGA-B platform, the Viewt shares the same engine options as the Yaris, including a 1.0-liter engine with 68 hp, a 1.5-liter engine (producing either 118 hp or 123 hp), and a 1.5-liter hybrid engine with 114 hp, available with either a six-speed manual transmission or CVT.

In addition to front-wheel drive, the Viewt is also available in an all-wheel-drive variant, only for the 1.5-liter and 1.5-liter hybrid models.

In Japan, the Mitsuoka Viewt is priced starting at 3.85 million yen (approximately RM112,000) and can go up to 5.13 million yen (approximately RM150,000).
