The same build, other model years

Mitsubishi used the VIN pattern JA4LZ31F for 3 model years. Nothing but the year changes between these pages, so the price gap between them is depreciation on an identical car.

Where this data comes from

Specification fields are decoded from the manufacturer's filings in the NHTSA vPIC database, keyed on VIN positions 1–8 and 10. We publish the filed values as they stand and leave out anything the filing does not record.

Vehicle counts come from the 197 VINs of this build we have seen in dealer inventory. They are a sample of the road population, not a production figure.
