Let's take a close look at the lancer and the key features that have kept it going over the years...

ENGINE SPECIFICATION

The Lancer has always been built with three engine variants, the 1.2, 1.4, and 1.6-liter variants signaling its propensity for fuel efficiency coupled with performance but a later modification to its newer models has seen the lancer equipped with larger 1.8, 2.0, and 2-4 liter engines this time around with much more emphasis on size and overall output.

Designed specifically as a high-performance engine with the capabilities of an everyday workhorse the engine variants combine well enough to give the desired output in terms of overall performance

TRANSMISSION

Lancers are predominantly fitted with several transmission types ranging from the early 4 and 5-speed manual to the 4-speed semi-automatic,  3 and 4-speed automatic, and the CVT automatic transmission offered to this day. these transmission types have continued to be the hallmark of the lancer,s efficient and utmost reliable movement.

STYLE

It is in this segment that the lancer has really seen a remarkable shift from the old boring and less glamorous design of its earlier inception to much sportier cars with refined grills built for an exact purpose.

Its most popular trims include the GT, Evolution X, GLX, and VR-X all of which were built with a feeling of sports and comfort.

For all of its glamor, the Mitsubishi Lancer has really given  Car enthusiast's something to really cheer about as a reliable compact car as it rolls out of production by the end of August 2017 one thing is certain the Mitsubishi Lancer would solely be missed.
