Having launched last year as a standalone feature that has since been incorporated into this online showroom platform, this pioneering service locally enables customers to request for an authorised dealer to bring the car that they wish to test drive in question to their preferred location, as opposed to having the customer go to the dealership to request a test drive instead.
Moving onto the purchasing phase, MMM’s online showroom also allows prospective buyers to place a booking for their Mitsubishi through the site. Much like any other digital showroom however, customers may still have to pay a visit to the physical dealership in order to finalise the legal and financial details that related to the final purchase process.

Collaborating with MyTukar, customers who are interested in trading in their existing vehicles for a new Mitsubishi can now do so through the online showroom. Furthermore, there is now also a special trade-in promotion for customers who opt to do this phase digitally.
Now while this new online showroom may appeal more towards prospective Malaysian Mitsubishi buyers, existing owners of the Japanese marque over here have been treated to something digital too courtesy of MMM’s new Mitsubishi Connect mobile application. Touted to offer a range of ‘vehicle-related digital services’, this new smartphone application will enable existing owners to easily schedule service appointments with their preferred authorised service centre, keep track of their vehicle’s maintenance history and get reminders as to when their car’s need to be serviced.
