Some time ago, the new Mitsubishi Lancer 2018 was introduced. This is a new generation of an incredibly successful model, which over its long history has become popular all over the world, including in Russia, where the last 10th generation has received particular success. Unfortunately, the new bodywork will initially be delivered exclusively to China, but sooner or later this may change.

Externally, the new Mitsubishi Lancer 2018 model year began to look completely new. At the same time, the car retained the main thing - its aggression and sportiness.

The front end is completely different. First of all, completely redesigned headlights catch your eye in the photo. They have become less narrow and evil, now their shape is more like a rectangle. Premium optics are filled with LED lights. The grille has also been completely changed. It stands out due to the chrome-plated transverse stripes. The hood is sculpted, as well as the entire front end as a whole, there are many sporty curves. The bumper is quite large, has an unusual X-shape. In the lower part, right in the center, there is an air intake in a very large diamond-shaped mesh. Round fog lights are installed along the edges. From below the bumper is protected from damage by plastic.

The car looks no less stylish in profile. The glass area has been greatly increased. The door handles have been completely redone. The side mirrors also got a new shape. Turn signal repeaters can be built into them. The wheel arches have grown in size, which is also reflected in the enlarged wheels with a new design of disks. At the bottom there is a sports body kit.

The rear of the Japanese car began to look fundamentally new. The rear optics, which has grown significantly, has become completely different. The rear bumper has also increased, which has become much larger. In its lower part, additional brake lights of a rather large size are placed.

Interior

Judging by the presented photos, the interior trim of the Mitsubishi Lancer 2018 has not become noticeably better compared to the previous model. Simple materials were used for decoration, but they cannot be reproached for their poor quality. Even ordinary plastic or fabric is quite pleasant both in appearance and to the touch.

The center console is very modest. There are both classic mechanical controls and buttons, as well as a modern multimedia display, which, albeit small in size, is quite informative.

The steering wheel is very nice, equipped with many buttons that allow you to control music, phone and cruise control. The dashboard is innovative, all indicators are displayed electronically.

Restyling did not change the dimensions of the car at all, but at the same time there was even more space in the cabin for passengers. Despite this, more than two people can hardly be accommodated on the back sofa with great comfort. The chairs are quite ordinary, but very comfortable. The outside is upholstered, depending on the cost, with either fabric or good leather. Very soft material is placed inside. There is heated seats and electric adjustment in a wide range.

Specifications

Analyzing the characteristics that the new model received, it is worth noting that they turned out to be quite good and allow demonstrating solid aerodynamic performance. And both on good roads and off-road. The latter is also ensured by a very high-quality and reliable suspension, which is logical for a car that has, among other things, a legendary rally past.

Power plants - two. The first received a volume of 1.8 liters and a power of 148 hp. The second unit is even more interesting, with a volume of 2 liters and a power of 169 hp. The drive, depending on the choice of the client, can be either full or front. Gearbox automatic or mechanical. Due to the light weight of the car and the clear and quick gear shifting, the indicators indicated above are quite enough for a dynamic ride.

The big disadvantage is a very small trunk, the volume of which is only 350 liters. It is impossible to increase this number, because the rear sofa does not fold.

Options and prices

Speaking about the features of the configuration of the machine, it is worth noting that it is not bad even in the basic version. First of all, it concerns various options that help in the process of control, making it as easy and comfortable as possible. Here are installed: ABS, electronic emergency braking system, high-quality navigator, air conditioning, a relatively simple music system, electric adjustment of the front seats, airbags for the driver and passenger, and a variety of little things. The price in terms of Russian currency will be about 1.3 million rubles.

In turn, if you pay about 300 thousand, you can already get heated seats, many different sensors, a full-fledged air conditioning system, more airbags, an innovative keyless entry system and even a rear view camera.

Start of sales in Russia

According to reports, the car will be sold in the Chinese market and then arrive in Taiwanese car dealerships. There is no exact information when the sedan will be delivered to other countries. At the same time, the approximate release date in Russia for the first "gray" models will take place around the middle of 2018. It all depends on demand. It will be quite problematic to conduct a test drive of the car due to its absence in the official sale.

Competing Models

The main competitor in terms of technical equipment, interior decoration is very popular. However, the Mitsubishi Lancer 2018 has one advantage, due to which it is able to attract more buyers to its side - this is the magnetic appearance of a sports car.

The history of Mitsubishi Lancer began in 1973, when the first cars with this name were produced. Depending on where and when the car was sold, it could be named Colt Lancer, Chrysler Valiant Lancer, Dodge/Plymouth Colt, Eagle Summit, Chrysler Lancer, Hindustan Lancer, Soueast Lioncel, Mitsubishi Mirage, Mitsubishi Carisma, Galant Fortis.

Over the entire history of the existence of the model, more than 6 million cars of the Lancer family have been sold worldwide. Over the years, cars were produced in sedan, hatchback, station wagon bodies, and in the 70s of the last century, Lancer-coupe was also produced.

The ascending shoulder line of the body and the high stern give the appearance of swiftness, but the car, for its size, looks massive. The shape of the “mouth” of the grille and the “frowning” headlights make the expression of the “muzzle” of the car angry, but in profile (or three-quarters behind) the Lancer looks quite calm.

Lancer Ralliart

Budget fans will find plenty to do in the 2010 Ralliart. Using an Evolution dual-clutch transmission and an all-wheel drive system, the Ralliart caters for decent performance for thousands less.

What's new in 2010

For 2010, the versatile five-door Sportback unites the Ralliart family.

Driving and experiences

As a supposed compromise between the base Lancer and Evolution, the Ralliart can be considered a success. There is the usual battle with the turbo, but once that threshold has been crossed (around 3000 rpm) the engine willingly unloads all its available power, approaching its 6500 rpm.

Compounding the turbo problem is the new TC-SST gearbox. Like many automatic manual transmissions, the TC-SST cannot immediately respond when the driver first steps on the gas pedal, which can escalate into a crowded stop.

On the plus side, quick shifts can be done manually. Drivers are more likely to take advantage of this feature during spirited drives when the car's handling capabilities shine. Like the Evolution, the Ralliart rewards its owner with responsive steering, great brakes and negligible body roll.

Featured Features

For Ralliart buyers who plan to spend time on the track or enjoy twisting back roads, the TC-SST offers a Super Sport mode that allows quick shifts via magnesium paddles or a center shifter.

The Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) Ralliart, borrowed from the Lancer Evolution, provides excellent handling when the driver wants to explore the limits of the car. S-AWC includes three modes designed to adapt to different road conditions: Tarmac, Gravel and Snow.

Move inside the Lancer Ralliart and you'll find a few accents to complement the updated look. To reflect the car's sporty nature, aluminum pedals have been added along with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. Upgraded upholstery is standard, while Recaro front seats are reserved for the options list. Entering and exiting Recaros can be a challenge due to the high side supports; the comfortable rear seat gives enough room for average-sized adults.

exterior

When it was redesigned for 2008, the Mitsubishi Lancer adopted a more flamboyant look that was improved with the 2010 Ralliart. The Ralliart differentiates itself from the smaller Lancers with smoked taillights, front foglights, 18-inch alloy wheels, restyled front and rear bumpers, and chrome dual exhaust tips.

The new Sportback model features a high-speed rear hatch with rear wing spoiler and rear wiper/washer. A ventilated aluminum cap has also been added. The result is a model that is more aggressive than the Lancer GTS, but not as threatening as the Evolution.

Notable standard equipment

The Ralliart is Mitsubishi's most expensive Lancer model, offering a wide range of standard equipment. Features include an automatic climate control system that's easy to use, a height-adjustable driver's seat, a convenient auxiliary input jack for your iPod, and Bluetooth hands-free functionality.

In addition, Mitsubishi's standard FAT FAST-hands-free entry system, a six-speaker 140-watt AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and cruise control. Passenger safety is regulated by front, front and side airbags, as well as a knee airbag for the driver and stabilization and traction control systems.

Notable accessories

Mitsubishi is offering two major upgrades to the Lancer Ralliart, one of which is a navigation device with a 40GB hard drive that stores maps and music files. Next Recaro sport pack, bring

In 2013, a new type of car was released - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

An icon in its own right, the legendary Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is a high-performance variant of the Mitsubishi Lancer Sedan. Weighing less than 3,600 pounds in standard form, the Lancer Evolution features a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, all-wheel drive, and a long list of engineering upgrades. Here are five more facts about the 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.

Visually, the Lancer Evolution differs from other Lancer models with its redesigned front end with larger intakes, air intakes and vents, front vane fans, front and rear fenders, rear diffuser panel through which twin exhaust ports pass, and a rear spoiler designed to create additional downforce at higher speeds. Special lightweight 18" aluminum wheels are shod with P245/40R18 tires with an asymmetric tread pattern.
Lancer Evolution turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine generates 291 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 300 lb-ft. torque at 4000 rpm and zings up to 7000 rpm. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard on the Lancer Evolution GSR. Lancer Evolution MR models get a 6-speed Dual Clutch Shift Transmission (TC-SST) with paddle shifters and driver-selectable Normal, Sport, and S-Sport modes. According to Mitsubishi, the TC-SST automatic manual transmission shifts faster than a conventional manual or automatic transmission.
Every Lancer Evolution system is equipped with Mitsubishi's All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) all-wheel drive system, which includes an active center differential, active brake control, rear differential and limited slip helical differential. The S-AWC system provides Tarmac, Gravel modes and Snow, which are selected by the driver.
The 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution features an aluminum cover, fenders, roofs, and bumpers, and for better weight distribution, the automaker finds the battery and washer reservoir in the car's trunk, which is one reason why it's only 6.9cc. by volume. As a result of these actions, measured as a percentage of the total vehicle weight, the weight of the Lancer Evolution GSR is distributed between 56.7 / 43.3 front to rear, while the weight of the Lancer Evolution MR is distributed 57.4 / 42.6 front to rear.
In addition to the powerful engine and sophisticated all-wheel drive system, the 2013 Lancer Evolution features service brakes with 13.8-inch ventilated discs front, clamped by 4-piston calipers, and 13-inch rear ventilated disc brakes with 2-piston calipers. The Evolution also uses an inverted strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension with aluminum control arms.

Mitsubishi lancer 10 is a new generation car that is assembled in Japan. It is a fairly reliable vehicle, the price of which is acceptable, but at the same time it meets the quality. In this model, all the malfunctions of previous generations of Mitsubishi have been corrected. Since the Mitsubishi lancer 10 is already a little outdated, the article presents the "new" of this car brand.

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 generation, which is currently sold at dealers, has lost its former popularity, against the backdrop of competitors. Although a couple of years ago, the Mitsubishi Lancer was so popular that it ranked first in theft in its class. Despite its sporty appearance, which is still relevant to this day, in fact the Lancer 10 is an ordinary city sedan.

Lancer models have been produced in Japan since 1973, having gone through 10 generations and countless restylings. The car under various names is sold in the USA, Latin America, Asia. For each specific automotive market, the manufacturer offers its own set of powertrains and transmissions. In Russia today, buyers are offered Mitsubishi Lancer X with two petrol engines with a working volume of 1.6 and 1.8 liters with a capacity of 117 and 140 horsepower, respectively. As a transmission, the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 front-wheel drive sedan has both manual and automatic transmissions. We will talk more about the technical characteristics of the car below.

For now, let's talk about the design of the Lancer, which made the car very popular due to its aggressive style. The new body, which was shown in 2011, became a few centimeters longer, wider and higher. The front end with a huge vertical grille tilted at a slight angle became a new milestone in corporate style. Later, this appeared on the Outlander and the more compact ACX. The most interesting thing is that this design was only suitable for a sedan, an attempt to release Mitsubishi Lancer in a hatchback body was a failure.

The similarity of an ordinary car to a charged modification of the Evolution had a very positive effect on car sales among young people who do not have money for a charged version. Moreover, in some versions, the usual Lancer has a trunk spoiler, a plastic body kit, and low ground clearance with stylish wheels and low-profile tires. Further we offer photos of the exterior of the Lancer.

Video review of Mitsubishi Lancer X.

In previous years, the Mitsubishi Lancer sedan was the best-selling car of the Japanese manufacturer in the Russian market. Today, however, the situation has changed radically. Our fellow citizens are buying fewer sedans and increasingly prefer crossovers. Today, Mitsubishi's best-selling model is the Outlander crossover, which was originally created on the platform of the same Lancer.

In the basic "Invite" Mitsubishi Lancer is equipped with air conditioning, ABS with EBD, halogen headlights, 16-inch wheels, heated seats and an on-board computer. There is no audio system as standard. The Invite+ package is distinguished by the presence of a built-in MP3 radio, fog lights, a leather steering wheel with audio control buttons, leather gear levers and a parking brake. The maximum configuration "Intense" has climate control and a 6-disc CD changer with the ability to play MP3. The external differences of the Intense modification from the previous ones are a sports suspension with a ground clearance reduced to 150 mm, a strut between the front pillars in the engine compartment to increase body rigidity, a chrome-plated radiator grille and an aerodynamic body kit with a large spoiler on the trunk lid. In 2011, the car was restyled, a chrome grille trim appeared, a color display on the instrument panel, alloy wheels of a new design, the equipment of the basic configuration was improved, in addition, an even more inexpensive “Inform” package (1.6 MT) with simplified solutions for external design and interior was added. and equipment.

In Russia, this car is offered with 1.5 MIVEC engines (109 hp) with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission and 2.0 MIVEC (150 hp) with the same manual transmission or CVT. After restyling in 2011, Mitsubishi Lancer is already offered with 1.6 (117 hp) and 1.8 (140 hp) engines, which also use the MIVEC system - a proprietary technology for changing phases and electronically controlled valve lift. With it, optimal power characteristics and reduced fuel consumption are realized. So, for example, with a 1.6 engine, gasoline consumption is 6.1 liters per hundred kilometers. In addition, thanks to this technology, new motors have increased "elasticity" - that is, the ability to develop high torque over a wide rev range.

Suspension Mitsubishi Lancer - MacPherson strut with anti-roll bar in front and "multi-link" rear. This design, which has been typical for several generations, is an integral part of the Lancer and, in terms of comfort, distinguishes the car from many classmates. Cars with CVT Sport Mode are equipped with paddle shifters - speed switches. Car ground clearance - 165 mm.

As standard, the car is equipped with front two-stage airbags for the driver and front passenger, belt pretensioners, door stiffeners, ISOFIX mounts. Of the electronic "assistants" used: anti-lock brake system, brake force distribution system, emergency braking assistance system. In the “Invite +” and Intense trim levels, there are additional side airbags, a driver’s knee airbag, and a front passenger airbag with a deactivation function.
