The Mitsubishi Lancer is an automobile produced by the Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi Motors since 1973.

The Lancer has been marketed as the Colt Lancer, Dodge Colt, Plymouth Colt, Chrysler Valiant Lancer, Chrysler Lancer, Eagle Summit, Hindustan Lancer, Soueast Lioncel, and Mitsubishi Mirage in various countries at different times, and has been sold as the Mitsubishi Galant Fortis in Japan since 2007. It has also been sold as Mitsubishi Lancer Fortis in Taiwan with a different facelift than the Galant Fortis. In Japan, it was sold at a specific retail chain called Car Plaza.

Between its introduction in 1973 and 2008, over six million units were sold.^[2] There have been nine generations of Lancers before the current model.^[3]

Mitsubishi ended production of the Lancer in August 2017 worldwide, with the exception of Taiwan and China.^[4] An extensive facelift was given to the car by Pininfarina’s Chinese offices.

First generation (A70; 1973)[edit]

The first Lancer (A70) was launched in February 1973. It served to fill the gap between the Minica kei car and the larger Galant. The sporting 1600 GSR model began the Lancer’s long and successful rally history, winning the Safari Rally twice and the Southern Cross Rally four times.

There were four body styles, two- and four-door sedans, a two-door hardtop coupe and a long-running five-door station wagon (built until replaced by the front-wheel drive Lancer/Mirage Van in March 1984). Engines were different 1.2-liter, 1.4-liter, and 1.6-liter fours.

This car was marketed under a variety of names: Dodge Colt in the United States, Plymouth Colt in Canada, Dodge Lancer in some Latin American countries, Chrysler Valiant Lancer in Australia, and Colt Lancer in some European markets.

Celeste[edit]

In February 1975, the Lancer was complemented by a hatchback called the Lancer Celeste, succeeding the Galant FTO. It was also called the Mitsubishi Celeste (New Zealand) or Colt Celeste in some markets; and sold as the Chrysler Lancer in Australia,^[5] the Dodge Lancer Celeste in El Salvador, the Plymouth Arrow in the United States, and the Dodge Arrow in Canada.

Four-door Lancer assembly began in New Zealand in 1975, supplementing the larger English Hillman Avengers also built locally by importer Todd Motors. The Celeste was imported built-up from Japan initially and assembly of a single 1.6- liter, manual transmission model began in 1978 followed by a minor facelift about a year later.

The Celeste was originally available with 1.4- and 1.6-liter options, while a bigger 2.0-liter model was added later. An even larger 2.6-liter four was available in the US-market Plymouth Fire Arrow.^[6] The Celeste was facelifted in 1978, receiving square headlights and bigger squarer bumpers.^[7] Production of the Lancer Celeste ended in July 1981 and it was replaced by the front-wheel drive Cordia in early 1982.

In 1979, the all new Lancer EX was unveiled in Japan. Its new, clean and aerodynamic styling with integrated plastic bumpers reflected that of the recently introduced Galant and Sapporo. It was of a more European appearance than earlier Mitsubishi vehicles.^[9]

This generation is only available as 4-door sedan, the 2-door sedan was axed while the previous generation Celeste coupé and wagon/van were continued for a few more years. Considerably more spacious, it grew in all dimensions.^[9] Only two engines were offered at first, a 1.4-litre MCA-Jet equipped engine paired with Mitsubishi’s Silent Shaft Technology, which generated 80 PS (79 hp; 59 kW) and a 1.6-litre engine that generated 85 PS (84 hp; 63 kW). The MCA-Jet system was an entirely new concept when compared with the previously used carburetor system. The MCA stands for Mitsubishi Clean Air which meant that the EX passed both Japan and US emission standards, while the new cylinder head design of the engine gave way for a Jet valve which introduced an extra swirl of air to the combustion chamber, swirling the fuel-air mixture for a cleaner, efficient and more thorough burn.

In addition to these improvements, another breakthrough in the Lancer lineup was the Silent Shaft Technology, which was actually two counterbalancing shafts that rotated in opposite directions, cancelling the power pulses inherent in an inline four-cylinder engine. This reduced both engine noise and vibration, and provided a smoother driving experience. The 1.8-litre Sirius 80 engines were then introduced in the Lancer in 1980, expanding the Lancer’s range of engines. Also, a turbocharged, 135 PS (133 hp; 99 kW) engine was added in 1980 for sportier performance, and an intercooler system was also integrated in the existing turbocharged engine to produce 160 PS (158 hp; 118 kW) in 1983.

In 1980, The Lancer EX was introduced with a 1.8-litre turbocharged inline-four option known as the 1800GSR and GT Turbo. The first generation 1800GSR and GT were only available with a turbocharged, non-intercooled 135 PS (133 hp; 99 kW).

New Zealand importer Todd Motors assembled the new Lancer EX from 1980 with 1.6-liter carburetor gasoline engine and a choice of manual or automatic transmission. The model was also a popular base for rally cars in that market, with some success. It was replaced by the front-drive Tredia in 1982 with the Cordia coupé equivalent effectively replacing the earlier Celeste.

This generation was manufactured locally in Indonesia by Mitsubishi’s partner, PT. Krama Yudha Kesuma Motor at their plant in Jakarta. Unique for this market, this generation was fitted with a 1.4-litre (1439 cc) 4G33 engine, inherited from the previous generation Lancer (never offered in the country) and possibly the only market that received this engine in this generation. It was only offered with a single trim called SL.

Europe[edit]

In Europe, the Lancer EX sold well as its restrained styling better matched the desires of European buyers than its somewhat fussy predecessor. Other considerations concerned handling and also the demand for more passenger room, as Mitsubishi tailored the Lancer towards European consumers. It went on sale locally after making its European premier at the 1979 Frankfurt Show.^[10]

Unlike in Japan at the time of introduction, European buyers could get a 1.2-litre option which suited local tax conditions. This engine later did become available in Japan as well, beginning in May 1981, but was discontinued in 1983 after the introduction of the smaller Lancer Fiore. Claimed outputs in Europe were lower than in the domestic market because of the net rating, with the 1200, 1400, and 1600 being good for 40, 50, and 60 kW (54, 68, and 82 PS; 54, 67, and 80 hp) respectively.^[9] Here, the Lancer EX was also offered with a turbocharged 2.0-litre SOHC engine, known as the Lancer EX2000 Turbo. It achieved a maximum output of 170 PS (168 hp; 125 kW) and managed a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph). This model was equipped with Electronically Controlled Injection (ECI).

A rally version of the Lancer 2000 Turbo was made and homologated for Group 4 and Group B, made out 280 PS (276 hp; 206 kW). At home, sales of the turbo model were low because of emission regulations Japan imposed at that time.

Third to seventh generations (1982–2003: Mirage-based Lancers)[edit]

Between 1982 and 2003, the Lancer in Japan derived from the subcompact Mirage—itself sold in many export markets under the name Colt. Mitsubishi had originally launched the Mirage in 1978 as a front-wheel drive hatchback, with a sedan variant later released in 1982—and a version of which sold in Japan as Lancer Fiore. Five generations of Mirage were manufactured by Mitsubishi up until 2003, with new generations released in 1983 and 1987 (with the equivalent Lancer delayed until 1988), 1991 to 1995. It was not until 1988—with the 1979 to 1987 Lancer now departed—that the Mirage-based Lancer eschewed the Fiore suffix in the home market.

Between 1982 and 1987, the aforementioned Mirage sedan with minor styling modifications sold as the Lancer Fiore through Japanese retail channels. The Fiore spanned two generations, the second of which came to the market in 1983. Internationally, the Fiore sedan often sold under the abbreviated name Lancer, and sometimes as the «Lancer F» (for example, in Germany). Thus, with the rear-wheel drive Lancer as introduced in 1979 and the front-wheel drive Lancer Fiore, Mitsubishi had two similarly sized models competing in the same market segment, sometimes even while sharing the Lancer badge.

Although naming conventions varied, for all generations, sedan versions of the Mirage were typically badged as Lancer in export markets such as the Philippines, although notably not in the United States. In Japan, sedan variants of the Mirage and Lancer sold alongside one another with minor differences in trim. The station wagon, part of the 1983 and 1991 iterations, was typically known as the Lancer in export markets. Likewise, the Mirage coupe variant, available with the 1991 and 1995 generations, also became part of the Lancer lineup in some regions.

Mitsubishi introduced replacements for the Mirage starting in 2000, with a new generation of Lancer sedan—now larger and having moved up to the compact segment. Then in 2002, a subcompact five-door hatchback badged Colt internationally became available, thus substituting the Mirage hatchback. By 2003, the Mirage had been completely phased out of mainstream Japanese production and Lancer became the primary title for Mitsubishi’s compact offerings.

May 2000 saw the release in Japan of the Lancer Cedia (meaning CEntury DIAmond); though in most markets the previous 1995 vintage Mirage-based Lancer soldiered on for a while longer, built at Mitsubishi’s Mizushima plant in Japan. The new model was available in sedan and station wagon forms. In Europe, the Lancer was not offered in some countries, being too close to the size of the Dutch-built Mitsubishi Carisma, so the Evo VII model sold there bore the Carisma name. This series of Lancer was still sold in Japan for 3 years alongside the 2007 onwards generation Lancer, sold there as the «Galant Fortis».

In February 2003, for the 2004 model year, a heavily restyled Lancer surfaced with a front styling that brought it into line with the Mitsubishi corporate look, as well as a restyled rear, to further differentiate itself from the Lancer Evolution. The car’s grille was then redesigned again in 2005 for the 2006 model year.

Marketing[edit]

Asia[edit]

In Japan, the Lancer Cedia was offered with many different trim levels and engines, including some options never exported, such as a cargo variant of the station wagon, which was replaced by a rebranded Nissan AD. It was also one of the first models to use the INVECS-III CVT transmission. There was also a Ralliart version of the Sportswagon which was powered by a turbocharged 1.8-liter GDI engine. Until 2010, it was still sold alongside the 9th generation, known in Japan as the Galant Fortis.

In Taiwan, the Mitsubishi Lancer was produced and marketed by China Motor Corporation, and the car was slightly restyled in the beginning with larger front grilles, extra chrome trims, and the rear license plate located on the trunk lid instead of the rear bumper. Later, following the internationally sold facelift version, the front lamps were restyled and reshaped to be triangular while the tail lamps extended onto the trunk lid which is different from the version sold in other parts of the world. An additional facelift was added again in 2005 with white marker lights in the front replacing the amber ones and restyled tail lamps.

In Indonesia, the Lancer was available in GLXi and SEi trims. It was assembled locally and sold from 2002 until 2012.

In Malaysia, the Lancer was made available after Mitsubishi had sold all its shares in Malaysian carmaker Proton, marking the return of Mitsubishi in the Malaysian market after being absent since 1985 due to the agreement with Proton. The Lancer sold in Malaysia was powered by the 4G18 engine which also powered the early 1.6-liter Proton Waja model.

In the Philippines, the Lancer Cedia was originally launched in 2003, sourced from Mitsubishi’s Thailand plant until 2008, with 2008 to 2012 models assembled in Mitsubishi’s production plant in Cainta, Rizal.^[14] It was offered with three trim levels; GLX, GLS and MX. Both GLX and GLS were powered with a 1.6-litre 4G18 SOHC engine with 110 PS (81 kW).^[15] The MX was powered with a 1.8-litre 4G93 SOHC engine. Transmission choices were a 5-speed manual (GLX and GLS) or INVECS-III CVT (GLS and MX). In 2005 and 2007 respectively, the Lancer received its first and second facelifts: featuring new headlights, tail lights, front fascia, trunk lid, rear bumper and wheel designs. In 2008, it got also a third facelift; featuring new tail lights, black smoked headlights, new wheel designs and front fascia. In 2007, Mitsubishi Philippines also marketed GT and GSR trims. Both were powered with a 2.0-litre 4G63 engine and mated with a 4-speed INVECS-II transmissions. The GT received semi-bucket seats and a Momo steering wheel while the GSR had leather seats and only came in Glaire Beige (champagne).

In Pakistan, this variant was launched in 2005 with cosmetic changes from the front and the back. Thai production was switched to the new model, and in all markets except for India the previous model was no longer marketed, four years after the Cedia’s introduction. In India, it was first introduced at the 2006 Auto Expo in New Delhi as the Lancer Cedia, complementing the lower-priced Lancer.^[16] All Lancer variants were built by Mitsubishi’s Indian partner Hindustan Motors. From 2009 on, it was sold under the Cedia name alone, available as the Cedia Select and the Cedia Sports.^[16] In order to comply with the emissions regulations and to accommodate lower quality petrol, it used a slightly detuned version of the SOHC 16-valve 4G94 found on the Lancer, having 115 PS (85 kW; 113 hp) at 5250 rpm and 175 N⋅m (129 lb⋅ft) at 4250 rpm. The Cedia, a rather expensive car for Indian conditions, was discontinued without a direct successor in June 2013 as Mitsubishi India chose to focus on SUVs. Production was reported to have ended in November 2012.^[17]

Australia[edit]

In Australia, this series of Lancer was introduced as the CG series in July 2002 with the 2.0-liter 4G94 engine. The 2003 facelift, designated the CH series,^[18] introduced a heavily updated VR-X, which included new 16″ alloys, stiffer suspension, body styling kit, and gear shifter borrowed from the Lancer Evolution. In 2004, the new Lancer wagon was introduced as a direct replacement for its ageing circa 1992 predecessor.

In August 2005, all Lancers were upgraded to the 2.4-liter 4G69 engine, producing 115 kW (154 hp) and 220 N⋅m (162 lb⋅ft) of torque. The upgraded engine also saw a change in trim levels and upgraded equipment—the ES and LS models now featured a more upmarket looking black interior, while the VR-X gained a new black grille to closer resemble the Lancer Evolution IX. The equipment levels of all models were also upgraded, with the LS and VR-X gaining climate control, and a premium audio system sourced from the luxury Mitsubishi Verada. The Exceed model was discontinued, and all updated models now used JDM sized rear bumpers instead of the larger USDM sized versions. Additionally, the wagon also saw these changes; and as of 2007, continues to be sold alongside the sedan.

The ES and LS models were given a minor facelift for the 2007 model year; this time gaining the same front grille as the US models, and putting it into line with the current corporate look—similar to that of the Colt and the locally built 380. A limited edition ES model dubbed «Velocity» went on sale prior to this generation being replaced. This package included VR-X grille, rear spoiler, leather/Alcantara bolstered seats, sports pedals, 15-inch alloy wheels and chrome exhaust tip—all for the same price as the previous standard ES.

Europe[edit]

In some European markets, the Lancer began to take the place of the Carisma in 2004. It is powered by a 1.3-liter SOHC 16-valve 4G13 engine producing 82 PS (60 kW) at 5,000 rpm and 120 N⋅m (89 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4,000 rpm. The next engine in the range is the 1.6-liter SOHC 4G18 engine producing 98 PS (72 kW) at 5,000 rpm and 150 N⋅m (111 lb⋅ft) at 4,000 rpm. Finally, there is the 2.0-liter DOHC 4G63 producing 135 PS (99 kW) at 5,750 rpm and 176 N⋅m (130 lb⋅ft) at 4,500 rpm.

North America[edit]

In North America, the Lancer was introduced in 2001 for the 2002 model year as a direct replacement for the Mirage. In the United States, Chrysler had offered an unrelated Dodge Lancer at various stages between the 1950s and 1980s. However, when Daimler, who owned Chrysler at the time, briefly controlled Mitsubishi through the DaimlerChrysler-Mitsubishi alliance from 2000 through to 2004, the rights to the «Lancer» name were relinquished to Mitsubishi for usage in North America. Consequently, after Mitsubishi discontinued the 1995 series Mirage for North America in 2001, the replacement model adopted the Lancer name for the first time.

North American Lancers were powered by a 2.0-liter 4G94 engine producing 120 hp (89 kW) and 130 lb⋅ft (176 N⋅m) of torque. In Mexico, the Lancer sedan was available in DE, ES, LS and GS trims with a 2.0-liter DOHC 4G63 engine.

In addition to the facelift, North America received three additional models to the Lancer line in 2004—Lancer Ralliart, LS Sportback and Ralliart Sportback. Ralliart slots in between the base models and high-performance Evolution. These cars came equipped with Mitsubishi’s 2.4-liter 4G69 engine (rated at 160 hp (119 kW)/ 162 lb⋅ft (220 N⋅m) for the Sportback, and 162 hp (121 kW)/ 162 lb⋅ft (220 N⋅m) for the Ralliart). The power gain was due to a tuned muffler for the Ralliart, and also included a new, stiffer suspension package that improved handling and lowered for Ralliart and lifted the LS Sportback by 2.9 inches. The LS Sportback had 15-inch steel or optional 15-inch alloy wheels. The Ralliart came with 16-inch alloy wheels, front bucket seats borrowed from Japan’s Mitsubishi Evolution GT-A, optional fog lamps, and a new aerodynamic ground package for Ralliart. The LS Sportback and Ralliart Sportback were equipped with a four-speed INVECS-II automatic transmission, while the Ralliart came with a five-speed manual transmission with an option for the four-speed automatic.

For the 2005 model year, the grille was changed to include more fins to reflect a closer similarity to the North American Galant. For the 2006 model year, the fascia was changed again from a bridged fascia to one with an open vent after Mitsubishi received complaints from current owners regarding its similarity in appearance to General Motors Division Pontiac’s corporate look, and to bring the appearance closer to its bigger brother, the Evolution.

The Lancer Sportback wagon was cancelled in the United States one year after its release, but the Mitsubishi Lancer wagon was sold in Canada for a while longer.

In 2005, Mitsubishi revealed the «Concept X» model car at the Tokyo Motor Show and its «Concept Sportback» model at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The new Lancer was previewed by these two concepts. The new Lancer was officially revealed in January 2007 at the North American International Auto Show and went on sale in North American markets in March 2007 as a 2008 model. New Lancer features Mitsubishi’s next-generation RISE safety body.

Marketing[edit]

Asia[edit]

With the exception of the Lancer Evolution X, the Lancer is marketed as the Galant Fortis (Latin for strong, brave and resolute) in the Japanese domestic market because the sixth generation of Lancer is still in production at that time.^[22] It comes in three trim levels: Exceed, Super Exceed, and Sport.^[23]

Due to the popular demand for the previous 2000-era Lancer in Singapore, it continued to be sold alongside the new 2007 era Lancer which was called «Lancer EX» to differentiate itself from the former for two years. The 1.5- and 2.0-liter engine sizes and a flagship GT trim level were available in Singapore. For model year 2009, the design was refreshed all around with an updated front grille, darkened clear tail lamps, and chrome lining with an additional floor console internally. The rear for the 2.0-liter variants had disc brakes for better stopping power. From 2014 models onwards, only a 1.6-liter engine was offered in Elegance and Sports trim with factory AM/FM radio, ducktail spoiler, and 16” black gloss 10-spoke chrome rims or 16” Spaco gunmetal rims. For a limited period between 2015 and 2017, the Lancer EX had a slightly revamped rear with double rectangular “C-shaped” LED tail lamp clusters and had its Lancer badge positioned to the center of the boot.

In Malaysia, the Lancer was first launched in August 2007 with a sole variant known as GT.^[24] The Lancer was then updated in 2009^[25] and an EX variant was launched in July 2010.^[26] In October 2010, the Sportback bodystyle was launched in October 2010.^[27] The Lancer was then updated in August 2012^[28] and April 2014.^[29] Also, Proton had renewed cross-licensing and technology transfer agreements with Mitsubishi as of October 2008 and lead to the Proton Inspira which is a badge-engineered 2007–2017 Lancer.^[30]

In Indonesia, only the GT is sold and it utilizes the 2.0-liter 4B1 engine and is sold alongside the Evolution X. The previous generation Lancer was still sold, marketed as the Cedia using the 1.8-liter 4G9 engine.

Hong Kong received its unique edition of the Lancer in 2008, dubbed the Lancer 2.0. The car comes in two trim levels, without a name for either of them. Both are equipped with the 4B11 2.0-liter engine, seven airbags, eight-speaker stereo system, adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) with HID as well as 18-inch alloy wheels. The upper trim has a Ralliart style body kit which includes a revised front bumper, side skirt, rear bumper with diffuser, and the addition of a correct-to-Evolution X rear spoiler, while the lower trim makes do without the above-mentioned features.

In the Philippines, the 9th generation Lancer was launched in mid-2008 as the «Lancer EX» to differentiate it from the previous generation Lancer sold alongside it, which would be discontinued by 2012. It was initially available only with a 2.0-litre 4B11 powerplant. The top-of-the-line GT and GT-A were added into the lineup in 2008. The GT and GT-A were essentially the same, both coming with rear spoilers, side skirts, and 18″ alloy wheels, the only difference being that the GT came with a 5-speed manual, while the GT-A came with a CVT transmission with paddle shifters. A Ralliart version was also available, with a 2.0-litre single turbo engine making 240 hp paired to a 6-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. Like the Evolution X, it came with an all-wheel-drive system featuring active yaw control and an active center differential.^[31]

In 2011, 3 trim levels were available: the base GLX which had no fog lights and three-beam headlights. It came with a 1.6-litre 4A92 MIVEC engine, making 117 hp, paired to a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic.^[32] The mid-range GLS has fog lights, GPS navigation with touchscreen. The same transmission options as the GLX were available. The top-of-the-line MX adds HID headlights, a blue LCD monitoring screen beneath the speedometer, and paddle-shifters. In 2010 the GT trim was phased out, while in 2012, the GLS was phased out.

Between August 2015 and August 2017, GHK Motors (Mitsubishi Brunei) had offered a version of the Lancer Sportback under the name Mitsubishi Galant in Brunei.^[33] The Galant is equipped with the 2.4-liter engine, 18-inch alloy wheels, a Ralliart style front grille, side skirts, rear spoiler, and sports front seats.^[34][35]

Australia[edit]

The Lancer was released in Australia in October 2007, designated the CJ series, and was initially available in ES, VR and VRX trim. The ES included cruise control, driver, passenger, and knee airbags, stability and traction control as standard. The VR added alloy wheels, fog lights, side skirts, boot lip spoiler, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights, six-disc CD changer, as well as curtain and side airbags. The VRX received extra skirts including front aprons, a larger rear spoiler, 18-inch alloys, 9-speaker Rockford Fosgate sound system, keyless entry, keyless engine start, and Bluetooth connectivity with voice control. All three models shared the same 4B11 2.0-litre engine and can be found with a manual gearbox or CVT. The Sportback body followed the sedan and has been available for all variants except the Aspire.

In July 2008, the Lancer Evolution X (officially just «Lancer Evolution» at the time) became available for orders in Australia.^[36]

In September 2008, another variant, the Aspire, was introduced.^[37] The Aspire was based on the 2009 model VRX, which had a new 4B12 2.4-litre engine. The Aspire included more luxury features and only came with a CVT, whereas the VRX maintained a manual gearbox option.

In late 2008, the Ralliart variant became available.^[38] It featured a single turbocharged version of the 4B11 engine, all-wheel drive (AWD) and a twin-clutch six-speed (TC-SST) gearbox.

In 2010, the limited edition ACTiV was added to the lineup.^[39] The ACTiV was based on the ES and added features such as 16-inch alloy wheels, side skirts, rear spoiler, hands-free Bluetooth and multi-function leather steering wheel.

Various special models have also been introduced, such as the Platinum Edition, which is based on the VR but added a chrome grille, window surrounds (sedan only), MMCS satellite navigation, and Bluetooth. The RX version is derived from the ES but comes with standard alloy wheels. Another model introduced in 2010 was the SX coming with factory alloys, leather steering wheel, and gear shifter as well as factory spoiler.

From model year 2013 onward (introduced in late 2012), the Aspire was dropped.

Europe[edit]

In Europe, a diesel model was also available from 2007 to September 2010. This was a 2.0-liter PD-TDI 103 kW (138 hp) engine sourced from Volkswagen, with engine code BWC.^[40] From September 2010, it was also available with Mitsubishi’s own 1.8-liter 4N1 engine.^[41] This engine has an aluminium cylinder block, four valves per cylinder and a common rail injection system with variable geometry turbocharger and variable valve timing. It develops 85 kW (116 PS; 114 bhp) and 300 N⋅m (221 lb⋅ft).^[42]

In Ireland, the specifications are different from those of models sold in the United Kingdom. The Lancer is available in five-door hatchback (Sportback) or four-door sedan body styles. Engines are the 1.5- and 1.8-liter petrol and the 2.0-liter diesel—all available in the United Kingdom until 2012. Trim levels are GS2, GS3, and GS4 for the saloon, and GS2, GS3, and Juro (satellite navigation and rear-view camera) for the Sportback. The Sportback Juro model marked a temporary end to the line in the UK and was the most generously equipped. A Ralliart version (petrol), a detuned version of the Evolution, was also available. Mitsubishi intended to supply the UK with 400 further Lancers in late 2014.

North America[edit]

For the United States, the Lancer was initially available in DE, ES, and GTS trim levels.^[43] DE, ES, and GTS models are powered by a GEMA based 4B11, 2.0-liter DOHC engine producing 152 hp (113 kW) (except for California models which have been detuned to 143 hp (107 kW) to meet regulations). Transmission options include a brand new F1CJA continuously variable transmission (CVT), sourced from Jatco, alongside a regular F5MBB five-speed manual sourced from Aisin Seiki. GTS models get a six-speed paddle shift version of the CVT.

In Canada, a fourth model (SE) was introduced to the Lancer lineup. The SE model is a cross between the ES and GTS models. Features not included in the SE model that is found in the GTS are the FAST key, automatic climate control, carbon-fiber trim pieces, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and 18-inch wheels.

For US markets, starting with the 2009 model year, an ES Sport version was released similar to the SE model for the Canadian market. Externally the ES Sport is similar in appearance to the GTS—with side skirts, rear spoiler, etc. (with the exception of the wheels, the ES Sport retains the ES wheelset). The ES Sport also uses the 2.0-liter engine.^[44]

For 2009, the GTS is powered by a 2.4-liter 4B12 engine producing 168 hp (125 kW) and 167 lb⋅ft (226 N⋅m).^[44]

For 2012, A new trim level called SE was added. The SE model features the 2.4-liter 4B12 engine and Mitsubishi’s all-wheel-drive system. The SE is only available with a CVT transmission. For 2013, another trim level called GT was added. Based on the all-wheel-drive SE trim level, excluding the all-wheel control system, the GT features sportier suspension, upmarket options, and an available manual transmission.

The five-door hatchback version, known as the Sportback, was introduced for the Canadian market in spring 2009, and in the US for the 2010 model year in mid-2009.^[45][46]

A detuned and cheaper version of the Evolution X was announced at the 2008 North American International Auto Show. This model became available for purchase in the United States in October 2008.

For 2009, the Ralliart is available exclusively with the TC-SST transmission.^[47] The TC-SST transmission equipped in the Ralliart offers two modes (Normal, Sport) rather than the three modes the same transmission offers in the Lancer Evolution X MR (Normal, Sport, S-Sport). The car also includes a simplified version of the Evolution X’s AWD system, with a simple «mechanical limited-slip» rear differential.^[48]

South America[edit]

To differentiate it from the previous model, still, on sale, this model is marketed as «Lancer Serie R» in Chile. For the same reason, in El Salvador, depending on the engine and trim, this series is titled «Lancer EX» or «Lancer GT».

In Brazil, Lancer was officially sold by Mitsubishi Motors 2007–2017. Between 2015 and 2017 was produced in Catalão Mitsubishi’s factory. It was sold in four versions: MT, HL, HLE, and GT. All versions come with the 2.0-liter 4B11 l4 engine (gasoline). The Lancer Sportback was sold until 2013 in a single version, signed by Ralliart, and the Lancer Evolution X is also sold, although not produced locally.

Facelift[edit]

In October 2015, Mitsubishi released details of the model year 2016 Lancer facelift for North America.^[49] The MY16 update was announced and released for Australia in December 2015.^[50] It sports a mildly altered front and does without the Ralliart-style grille of the MY15 version, now with a cleaner front bumper with integrated chrome upper and lower grilles. New C-shaped LED daytime running lamps surrounding the foglights and side skirts complete the exterior changes, while the cabin gains a high-contrast instrument cluster, a new front centre console with silver and black accents, and a new colour touchscreen audio system with DAB digital radio.^[51] It was also released in the Philippines in April 2016 and it came in two trims; GLS and GT-A.^[52]

Discontinuation[edit]

Mitsubishi Motors North America’s executive vice president and CEO, Don Swearingen, confirmed in January 2017 that Mitsubishi would end the Lancer’s production in August 2017, without a successor.^[53] Mitsubishi’s main focus was to be on crossovers and SUVs, but production of the Mirage hatchback and the G4 sedan will continue due to ongoing popular demand for the Mirage nameplate in the North American market.

Lancer Fortis / Lancer iO[edit]

The Lancer Fortis and Lancer iO are derivatives of the global Lancer model. Both models were developed primarily for the Taiwanese market, historically a stronghold for Mitsubishi vehicles.^[54] The Lancer Fortis and iO are locally assembled in Taiwan and China by CMC and Soueast respectively. CMC also exported the Lancer Fortis to the Middle East.^[55]

The Lancer Fortis made its debut in Taiwan in August 2007. The Fortis has a unique exterior design, but its interior styling and mechanical underpinnings are largely identical to the global Lancer model.^[54] Early models of the Lancer Fortis were powered by the 157 PS (115 kW), 2.0-litre 4B11 engine paired to the INVECS-III CVT gearbox.^[56] Later variants were offered with the 143 PS (105 kW), 1.8-litre 4B10 plant, while the 2.0-litre Fortis models were discontinued by 2010.^[57]

In April 2008, Mitsubishi launched the Lancer iO in Taiwan. The iO was pitched as a sportier version of the Lancer Fortis, featuring a more aggressive front grille and bumper combination.^[58] In February 2012, Mitsubishi discontinued the Fortis-based iO, and launched the global Lancer locally under the iO nameplate.^[59] The Taiwanese colloquial term for the 2012 Lancer iO and the global Lancer is ‘shark head’ (鯊魚頭).^[60]

The Lancer Fortis made its Chinese debut at the 2013 Shanghai Motor Show.^[61] The Chinese market Lancer Fortis features a different front grille and bumper design in addition to other minor cosmetic changes. The base models are powered by the 113 hp (84 kW), 1.6-litre 4A92 engine, and the range topping variants received the 1.8-litre 4B10.^[62] The Lancer Fortis in China is positioned in between the more expensive Lancer EX, and the cheaper Lancer Classic.^[63]

The Taiwanese market Lancer Fortis and iO were simultaneously facelifted in May 2014. The design of the front grille and bumper combination on both models became more aggressive, while the Fortis adopted the ‘shark head’ design and the headlamps from the global Lancer. The rear lamps on both models were also revised, and the interior designs received minor cosmetic enhancements. The powerplant configuration for both models was refined for better fuel efficiency but was otherwise largely unchanged.^[64] The Chinese market Lancer EX was later updated in line with the Lancer iO design.^[63]

In January 2017, Mitsubishi Motors agreed to continue the Lancer nameplate in certain Asian markets such as Taiwan and China after 2017, due to ongoing popular demand for the Lancer nameplate within the Chinese-speaking world. The development of the new Grand Lancer in Taiwan was led and designed by the Taiwanese China Motor Corporation (CMC). Part of the design was partnered with Pininfarina Shanghai. Due to the international version being discontinued, the new generation Lancer is built on the same platform as the existing model as an extensive facelift. It comes with the new Mitsubishi Dynamic Shield grille and redesigned creases over the side body panels. The interior, front hood, front bumpers, front fenders, front and rear door panels including the rear passenger door window, the boot lid, and the rear bumper have been completely redesigned for the new generation, while the rest is carried over from the pre-2017 model.^[65]

Sales[edit]

Australia[edit]

Since 2007, the Lancer has regularly featured within the Top 10 and Top 20 vehicle sales charts. Prior to the discontinuation of Lancer production in 2017, John Signoriello, CEO of Mitsubishi Motors Australia Ltd, decided to stockpile as many Lancers as possible, in order to sell them in succeeding years.^[66] The following table shows sales since 2006.

Японская буква し не похожа не на «си» не на «ши», это что-то среднее. «По-английски» пишется «shi», потому что такова система транслитерации Хепбёрна (ромадзи) . В России используют систему Поливанова (киридзи) , и поэтому правильно пишется «Мицубиси»(Mitsubishi).

Источник: Люди не знакомые с этим, естественно читают так, как написано на их языке.

. а название марки чьё? английское? правильно — японское, поэтому исходя из первоисточника, правильно будет Мицубиси, к тому же официалы себя обзывают Мицубиси…. так что, правильно Мицубиси, также как правильно суси и Такеси. Мицубиши — английское/американское искажение произношения.
Правильное произношение соответственно стране-производителю:
— Mazda = «Мацда» (изначально «Мацуда»);
— Lamborgini = «ЛамборГини» (можно просто «Ламбо» :), но не «…Джини»)
— Mitsubishi = «…Биши» на англ. и «…Си» на японском.

Любой умник из 5-го класса вам скажет: «SH читается [ш], а кто этого не знает тот дебил». Однако не всегда это так. Надо правильно говорить МИЦУБИСИ.
Внесу и я свою лепту. В языках, где алфавит — латинский, буква «h» не всегда произносится или участвует в образовании буквосочетаний: иногда она является разделительной. Как в русском языке есть разделительный мягкий знак (например в слове ОБЕЗЬЯНА) Если бы в слове MITSUBISHI не было бы буквы «h» (например так: MITSUBISI), то данное слово читалось бы МИЦУБИЗИ — Здесь буква «h» отделяет букву S от последующей гласной, чтобы она читалась как звук [с].
Так же и в слове lamborghini есть разделительная буква «h». Она тоже не читается и не участвует в звукообразовании, зато отделяет букву «g» от гласной. Без буквы «h» буква «g»читалась бы [дж], а так — ламборгини правильно.
Вообще все эти непонятности идут от американцев, которым наплевать на правильность произношения имён из других наций. Они как видят так и читают названия из других стран и сильно не парятся. А мы как обезьяны за ними повторяем, потому что нас в школе недоучили, что в любом правиле всегда есть исключения, которые тоже являются правилами для всех (кроме американцев).

77.79.151.105 06:26, 20 октября 2009 (UTC)Раньше в толковом словаре я читал что MITSUBISHI это сокращенное название трех алмазов которые точно не помню принадлежали аснователю или аснователям (правильно писАть — основАтелю, от оснОва) [ещё правильнее «Основателю»] фирмы.приводилось полное названия каждого алмаза.

Вообще-то, это не алмазы и не бриллианты, как можно подумать из английского перевода three diamonds, а три ромба или три бубны — собственно то, что и есть на логотипе. К алмазам слово «хиси» даже не имеет отношения: это название растения с ромбовидными плодами. — Ob ivan 15:29, 15 марта 2009 (UTC)

Тоже не совсем правильно: и то и другое толкование верно, по официальной версии эмблема является синтезом изображения листа водяного каштана и ромба. Кстати перевод три бриллианта тоже не противоречит истине, по крайней мере сами японские сотрудники этой компании вполне нормально к этому переводу относятся, ведь ромб в том числе является стилизованным изображением бриллианта.

Компания Mitsubishi решила, как ее правильно называть по-русски

Положен конец многолетним дискуссиям о том, как правильно произносить по-русски название японской компании Mitsubishi: «Митсубиси» или «Митсубиши». Головной офис в Токио распорядился сменить в России латинское название марки и дилерского центра на русское. Отныне Mitsubishi Motors превратится в более понятное и однозначное «Митсубиши Моторс».

Изначально путаница возникла из-за разницы подходов в лингвистике, которые используются при транскрибировании на европейские языки японских слов и названий. Существуют две системы – Хэпбёрна и Поливанова.

В конце 19 века протестантский священник Джеймс Кёртис Хэпбёрн предложил свой вариант латинизации японского языка. Позднее, в начале 20-го века российский востоковед Евгений Поливанов разработал систему записи японских слов кириллицей. Именно поэтому в России японское название компании было принято читать, как «Митсубиси».

Несмотря на неоднократные разъяснения японской стороны о том, что Mitsubishi следует читать с «ши» на конце, многие по привычке продолжали использовать прежний вариант с «си». Поэтому руководство компании было вынуждено пойти на беспрецедентные меры и ввести единый глобальный стандарт для своих представительств по всему миру.

Теперь название марки и дилерского центра должны быть на языке той страны, в которой они находятся. Поэтому в России компания меняет официальное название с Mitsubishi Motors на «Митсубиши Моторс».

В ООО «ММС Рус» надеются, что споры о произношении названия, наконец, прекратятся, а японская марка обретет в России новых преданных сторонников.

Mitsubishi Lancer (яп. 三菱・ランサー) — семейство автомобилей, выпускаемые Mitsubishi Motors с 1973 года. Mitsubishi с 1973 года. Также выпускались под названиями: Colt Lancer, Dodge/Plymouth Colt, Chrysler Valiant Lancer, Chrysler Lancer, Eagle Summit, Hindustan Lancer, Soueast Lioncel, Mitsubishi Carisma, Galant Fortis, и Mitsubishi Mirage в разных странах и в разное время. Кроме того, продавался как Lancer Fortis в Тайване с небольшими отличиями в экстерьере по сравнению с Galant Fortis.

С момента своего введения в производство в 1973 и 2008 году были проданы более шести миллионов машин.^[2]

Первое поколение (1973—1979)

Основная статья: Mitsubishi Lancer (A70)

Первый Lancer (A70) впервые был выпущен в феврале 1973 года. Он служил для заполнения разрыва между Minica и большим Galant. Спортивная модель GSR 1600 начала долгую и успешную историю в ралли, выиграв Ралли Сафари дважды, и Ралли Southern Cross четыре раза.

Существовали три типа кузова: двух-дверный седан, четырех-дверный седан и пятидверный универсал. Двигатели отличаются объемом: 1,2 литра, 1,4 литра, и 1,6 литра.

Этот автомобиль продавался под такими названиями как:

• Dodge Colt (США, 1977—1979)
• Dodge Lancer (В некоторых странах Латинской Америки)
• Colt Lancer (Некоторые европейские рынки)
• Chrysler Lancer/Valiant Lancer LA/LB (Австралия, 1974—1979)
• Plymouth Colt (Канада)

Celeste

В феврале 1975 Lancer был дополнен купе под названием «Mitsubishi Lancer Celeste», заменив Galant FTO. Также назывался «Mitsubishi Celeste» или «Colt Celeste» на некоторых рынках, а также продавался Chrysler Lancer Coupe (LB/LC) в Австралии,^[3] Dodge Lancer Celeste в Сальвадоре, Plymouth Arrow в США, и Dodge Arrow в Канаде.

Celeste первоначально был доступен с 1,4-и 1,6-литровыми двигателями, 2,0-литровый был добавлен позднее. Plymouth Fire Arrow с 2.6-литровым двигателем был доступен на рынке США.^[4] Celeste была обновленна в 1978 году, получив угловатые фары и большие бампера.^[5] Производство Lancer Celeste закончилось в июле 1981 года, так как была заменена на передне-приводную Cordia в начале 1982 года.

Третье поколение

В 1979 году Lancer EX был показан в Японии, лишь с тремя типами двигателей:

1,4 л MCA-JET, с фирменной технологией «Mitsubishi’s Silent Shaft Technology» (рус. Mitsubishi технология тихих валов) производивший 80 л.с. (60 кВт).

1,6 л, мощностью 85 л.с. (63 кВт)

1,6 л, мощностью100 л.с. (75 кВт)

MCA-JET система была более новой технологией, чем карбюраторные двигатели. MCA (от англ. Mitsubishi Clean Air — рус. Mitsubishi чистый воздух) — система улавливания топливных паров, а также устройство сокращения выброса картерных газов, созданная в целях охраны окружающей среды была использована оригинальная система снижения токсичности отработавших газов, делала автомобиль полностью соответствующим всем экологическим стандартам Японии и США, в то время как новая конструкция головок цилиндров двигателя позволяла разместить третий клапан (или Jet-клапан), который обеспечивал дополнительный приток воздуха в камеру сгорания, повышая эффективность процесса окисления (сгорания) топлива. Другая новинка Lancer-а — технология Silent Shaft (рус. тихий вал), которая представляет собой два уравновешивающих друг друга вала, вращающихся в разных направлениях, снижая тем самым уровень вибраций и шума и обеспечивая более плавный ход. MCA-JET позволила добиться высокой экономичности (4,54 л/100 в 10-режимном тесте топливной экономичности, и 3,12 л/100 км при движении со скоростью 60 км/ч при испытании на динамометрическом стенде).

Двигатель 1.8 л Sirius 80 был добавлен в ассортимент в 1980 году, вместе с новым 1,2 литровым (70 л.с. [52 кВт]) двигателем. Также в 1980 году был представлен турбированный 135-сильный (99 кВт) двигатель для спортивных модификаций, в 1983 году — 165-сильный (121 кВт) с турбонаддувом и интеркулером.

Японские модификации и доработка автомобиля

• 1400SL — 4-дверный седан, c двигателем 1.4L, с 4-х ступенчатой механической коробкой передач. 5-ступенчатая коробка также была введена. (1979—1987)
• 1200SL — То же что SL, с двигателем 1.2. (1979—1983)
• 1400GL — SL с 3-х скоростной автоматической коробкой (1979—1983)
• 1400SL A/T — То же самое как SL, с незначительными изменениями. (1983—1987)
• 1600XL — 4-дверный седан, с двигателем 1.6L, с автоматической коробкой передач с 3 скоростями. (1979—1983)
• 1600XL Высшего качества — То же самое как XL, с незначительными изменениями. (1983—1987)
• 1800SE — 4-дверный седан, приведенный в действие 1.8L производство 100 hp двигателей, и доступный с Механической коробкой передач с 5 скоростями или Автоматической коробкой передач с 3 скоростями. (1981—1983)
• 1800GSR Турбо — 4-дверный седан, приведенный в действие с турбинным двигателем 1.8L двигатель, производящий 135 hp, с эстетическими модернизациями. (1981—1983)
• 1800GT Турбо — То же самое как GSR, но с различным аккуратным телом. (1981—1983)
• 1800GSR Турбо Промежуточный теплообменник — Межохлажденная версия первой турбо версии, производя 160 hp, и с незначительными изменениями к эстетике. (1983—1987)
• 1800GT Турбо Промежуточный теплообменник — То же самое как Турбо Промежуточный теплообменник GSR, снова с различным аккуратным телом. (1983—1987)
• 1800GSL Турбо — То же самое как Турбо Промежуточный теплообменник GSR, только это использовало двигатель от Турбо GSR/GT, и оборудовало Au с 3 скоростями

Четвертое поколение^[6]

В 1982, был начат выпуск новой модели, названной Lancer Fiore, также известной как третья версия, основанная на Mitsubishi Mirage. Fiore часто продавалась на мировых рынках как Lancer и Mirage Sedan, а также в виде пятидверной модификации хэтчбек, остававшейся в производстве большую часть 1980-ых. В Австралии Lancer третьей версии временами продавался под наименованием Mitsubishi Colt Sedan, претерпевшему лишь косметические изменения. Таким образом, у Mitsubishi было две модели одного класса, конкурирующих в одном и том же сегменте рынка.

В следующем году, линейки Mirage и Lancer были обновлены до третьего поколения. Четырехдверный Mirage и Lancer седан стали одним и тем же автомобилем. Модификации с инжектором и турбонаддувом стали неотъемлемой частью линейки. В 1985 был добавлена модификация в кузове универсал, и она породила набирающую обороты полноприводную версию. Часто наименования Mirage (или Colt) использовались для обозначения трёхдверного хэтчбека, а наименование Lancer использовалось по остаточному принципу.

Эта модель стала базой для седана Saga марки Proton, который производился вплоть до начала 2008.

Шестое поколение^[6]

В 1988-м году Lancer получил новую, более аэродинамичную форму кузова, выполненную в стилистике модели Galant. В программу был добавлен пятидверный хэтчбэк. Деление на Mirage и Lancer продолжилось. Универсал по-прежнему производился на старой платформе и в старом корпусе, представленный на некоторых рынках, как пятидверная версия Mirage. В Австралии все модели продавались как Mitsubishi Lancer, изначально обозначенные, как CA series, и с 1990-го, как CB series. В Северной Америке автомобиль носил название Dodge Lancer. В Японии седан продавался как Mirage Aspire.

На некоторых рынках была представлена версия «фургон» — трехдверный хэтчбек без задних боковых окон

Седьмое поколение^[6]

Начал выпускаться только в 1991, чем вызвал еще больший разрыв между Миражом и Ланцером. Хотя оба были построены на той же самой платформе, седан Ланцер получил отличающиеся от четырехдверного Миража боковые панели кузова. Вариант Миража продавался в Северной Америке под именем Eagle Summit. Модели микроавтобуса, такие как Mitsubishi Space Runner и Mitsubishi Chariot, были соплатформенными. В 1993, универсал на базе Ланцера, названный Libero в Японии, был поставлен на конвейер. Электрическая версия также выпускалась под названием Libero EV, работавшая на батареях NiCd. Вариант с шестицилиндровым двигателем V6 начинался только с 1.6 L, что делало это, наименее выпускающимся серийно V6. Заряженная версия GSR с турбированным двигателем сформировала основу для Lancer Evolution (или ‘Ланцер Эво’), была запущена с сентября 1993, используя трансмиссию успешного автомобиля Galant 4.

Mirage Asti Coupé в Японии, продавался как Lancer-купе на многих внешних рынках.

Ланцер пятого поколения продавался под маркой Протон Wira с кузовами седан и 5-дверными модификациями автомобиля с открывающейся вверх задней дверью (универсал), в Малайзии в 1993 с двигателями рабочим объемом 1.3, 1.5, 1.6 и 1.8 L. Некоторое время двухлитовые дизельные модели также можно было приобрести. В настоящее время, автомобиль снят с производства, как наиболее долго бывший на конвейере моделей марки Proton в Малайзии после Proton Saga, которая также основана на предыдущей модели Lancer. Proton Wira был недавно заменен последней моделью Proton, Proton Person.

Австралия (1992—1996)

В Австралии это поколение официально называлось «серия CC» [5]. Продавался в следующих модификациях: 2-дверный двухместный закрытый кузов (купе), 4-дверный седан, универсал и 5-дверный хэтчбек (по существу перенесенный от предыдущего поколения). Модель варианта Glossary была последним Lancer’ом, который использовал карбюраторный двигатель внутреннего сгорания. Последующие модели были оборудованы двигателями с системой электронного впрыска топлива. Это поколение продавалось до 1996, когда оно было заменено популярной моделью серии CE.

Модель и уровни отделки салона:

• GL — 2-дверный двухместный закрытый кузов(купе? или хэтчбэк?), 4-дверный седан и автомобиль с кузовом «универсал». Приводились в действие 1.5 литровыми двигателями (67 кВт)
• GLXi — 2-дверный двухместный закрытый кузов, 4-дверный седан и универсал. Приведенный в действие 1.8L двигателями (4G93 SOHC — 86 кВт) (продававшийся с 1.8 вместо 1.6литрового вариантов, из-за низкого качества 91 го топлива в Австралии)
• Business — 4-дверный седан и универсал. Оснащались 1.8L двигателями (4G93 SOHC — 86 кВт)
• GSR — 4-дверный седан. Оснащался 1.8L турбированным двигателем (4G93t DOHC — 141 кВт)

Филиппины (1993—1996)

Описанный как «Lancer itlog» (также известный как Lancer «hot dog»), из-за формы его корпуса и его задних фонарей.

Модель и уровни отделки салона

• L — 4-дверный седан (отсутствовал тахометр). Оснащался 1.3L Cyclone карбюраторным двигателем (4G13 SOHC) (59 кВт)
• GLi — 4-дверный седан. Оснащался 1.5 литровыми карбюраторными/или оснащенными моновпрыском ECI двигателями (4G15 SOHC) (66 кВт)
• GLXi — 4-дверный седан. Оснащался 1.6 литровыми карбюраторными/или оснащенными моновпрыском ECI двигателями (4G92 SOHC) (86 кВт)
• Expect — 4-дверный седан. Те же самые модификации как у L, выпускался до 1996.

Восьмое поколение^[6]

В марте 1995 года дебютировал Mitsubishi Lancer восьмого поколения. Из доступных кузовов остался только седан, хотя на некоторых рынках предлагалось и купе.^[как?] Стандартным оснащением стала подушка безопасности водителя, а пассажирская подушка предлагалась за доплату. В Европе «восьмой» Lancer вынужденно конкурировал с чуть более крупным седаном Mitsubishi Carisma, производство которого на заводе в Голландии было налажено в том же году. Европейским покупателям предлагались два бензиновых мотора объемом 1,3 и 1,6 л. В других странах выбор силовых агрегатов был гораздо шире.

Девятое поколение^[6]

Весной 2000 года в Японии был представлен Mitsubishi Lancer девятого поколения, получивший собственное имя Cedia (от слов Century Diamond — «бриллиант века»). Европейский дебют состоялся в августе 2003 года на автосалоне в Москве. «Девятый» Lancer стал больше и предлагался с кузовами седан и универсал, а от японской версии Lancer Cedia отличался иным оформлением передка. Гамма моторов для Европы включала три бензиновые версии рабочим объемом 1,3, 1,6 и 2,0 л. Для японского рынка Лансер оснащали двигателями объемом 1,5 и 1,8 л, а в Северной Америке предлагалась модификация с четырехцилиндровым мотором объемом 2,4 л (164 л.с.).

Десятое поколение^[6]

В 2005-м году Mitsubishi Motors Corporation представила два концепта — Concept-cX на токийском мотор-шоу и Concept-Sportback на автосалоне во Франкфурте. Именно эти концептуальные модели легли в основу нового Lancer X. Новый Lancer был официально представлен в январе 2007-го на автомобильном шоу в Детройте, и появился в продаже на североамериканском рынке в марте 2007-го года как модель 2008-го модельного года. В новом Lancer используется разработанный Mitsubishi безопасный кузов следующего поколения RISE.Имеется полноприводная версия (автоматически подключаемый полный привод позаимствован у Outlander XL).

На внутреннем рынке Японии Lancer десятого поколения известен как Mitsubishi Galant Fortis (исключение составляет модификация Lancer Evolution X).

The Mitsubishi Lancer is a family car built by Mitsubishi Motors. It has been known as the Colt Lancer, Dodge/Plymouth Colt, Chrysler Valiant Lancer, Chrysler Lancer, Eagle Summit, Hindustan Lancer, Soueast Lioncel, Mitsubishi Carisma, and Mitsubishi Mirage in various countries at different times, and has been sold as the Galant Fortis in Japan since 2007. It has also been sold as Lancer Fortis in Taiwan with a different facelift compared to Galant Fortis. In Japan, it was sold at a specific retail chain called Car Plaza.

Between its introduction in 1973 and 2008, over six million Lancers had been sold.^[1]

  First generation (1973–1979)

The first Lancer (A70) was first launched in February 1973. It served to fill the gap between the Minica kei car and the larger Galant. The sporting 1600 GSR model began the Lancer’s long and successful rally history, winning the Safari Rally twice and the Southern Cross Rally four times.

There were three body styles, two- and four-door sedans and a long-running five-door station wagon (built until replaced by the front-wheel drive Lancer/Mirage Van in March 1984). Engines were different 1.2-liter, 1.4-liter, and 1.6-liter fours.

This car was marketed under a variety of names:

• Dodge Colt (USA, 1977–1979)
• Dodge Lancer (some Latin American countries)
• Colt Lancer (Some European markets)
• Chrysler Valiant Lancer LA (Australia, 1974–1977)
• Chrysler Lancer LB (Australia, 1977–1980)
• Plymouth Colt (Canada)

  Celeste

In February 1975 the Lancer was complemented by a Hatchback called the «Mitsubishi Lancer Celeste», succeeding the Galant FTO. It was also called the «Mitsubishi Celeste» or «Colt Celeste» in some markets; and sold as the Chrysler Lancer Hatchback (LB/LC) in Australia,^[2] the Dodge Lancer Celeste in El Salvador, the Plymouth Arrow in the United States, and the Dodge Arrow in Canada.

The Celeste was originally available with 1.4- and 1.6-liter options, while a bigger 2.0-liter model was added later. An even larger 2.6-liter four was available in the US-market Plymouth Fire Arrow.^[3] The Celeste was facelifted in 1978, receiving square headlights and bigger squarer bumpers.^[4] Production of the Lancer Celeste ended in July 1981 and it was replaced by the front-wheel drive Cordia in early 1982.

In 1979, the Lancer EX was unveiled in Japan. Only two engines were offered at the time, a 1.4 L MCA-JET equipped engine paired with Mitsubishi’s Silent Shaft Technology, which generated 80 hp (60 kW) and a 1.6 L engine that generated 85 hp (63 kW) and 100 hp (75 kW). The MCA-JET system was an entirely new concept when compared with the previously used carburetor system. The MCA stands for Mitsubishi Clean Air which meant that the EX passed both Japan and US emission standards, while the new cylinder head design of the engine gave way for a Jet valve which introduced an extra swirl of air to the combustion chamber, swirling the fuel-air mixture for a cleaner, efficient and more thorough burn.

In addition to these improvements, another breakthrough in the Lancer lineup was the Silent Shaft Technology, which was actually two counterbalancing shafts that rotated in opposite directions, cancelling the power pulses inherent in an inline 4-cylinder engine. This reduced both engine noise and vibration, and provided a smoother driving experience. The 1.8 L Sirius 80 engines were then introduced in the Lancer in 1980, along with a new 70 hp (52 kW), 1.2 L engine a year later, providing a broader range of engines for the Mitsubishi’s Lancer. Also, a turbocharged, 135 PS (99 kW; 133 hp) engine was added in 1980 for sportier performance, and an Intercooler system was also integrated in the existing turbocharged engine to produce 165 PS (121 kW; 163 hp) in 1983.

  Lancer EX 1800GSR and GT Turbo

In 1980, The Lancer EX was introduced with a 1.8 L turbocharged 4-cylinder option known as the 1800GSR and GT Turbo. The first generation 1800GSR and GT were only available with a turbocharged, non-intercooled 135 PS (99 kW; 133 hp). However, in 1983, an intercooler was introduced, helping the turbocharged engine to produce 160 PS (118 kW; 158 hp)..

  Lancer EX 2000 Turbo

In Europe, the Lancer EX was offered with a turbocharged 2.0 L 4–cylinder engine known as the Lancer EX 2000 Turbo. It was the first Lancer to use the very first 4G63 engine which was then used in succeeding models such as the Galant VR-4 and the Lancer Evolution I to IX.

It achieved a maximum output of 170 PS (125 kW) and manages a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph) and a quarter mile time of less than 15.5 s. A new feature on this model is that it is equipped with ECI or Advanced Electronically Controlled Fuel Injection, which gave the Lancer more power and outstanding fuel economy as it did 23.0 mpg in city driving and 28.8 to 37.2 mpg in highway driving. A rally version of the Lancer EX 2000 Turbo was made for the 1000 Lakes Rally that gave out 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp). Sales of this model were low because of emission regulations Japan imposed at that time.

  Philippines (1979–1989)

In The Philippines, the Lancer EX (which is popularly known as the Box Type Lancer) was offered with three variants. These variants are the SL, GSR, and GT. All engines were equipped with the Silent Shaft Technology (the SL had the 1.4 L while the GSR and GT had 1.6 L) and soon after, Automatic was available for SL and GSR variants. Sales stopped in 1989 since it was to be replaced by the fifth generation Lancer.

In January 1982, a special model was launched called the Lancer Fiore, also known as third version of the Lancer, based on the A15#-series Mitsubishi Colt/Mirage. Its introduction coincided with the Mirage II facelift, from which the Fiore benefitted too. The Fiore was often sold as a Lancer in international markets, and also as the Mirage Saloon in Japan.^[6] In Australia, it would eventually be sold as the Mitsubishi Colt Sedan although cosmetically different. Thus, Mitsubishi had two similarly sized models competing in the same market segment, sometimes even while sharing the «Lancer» badge.

It was available in the home market with 1,244 and 1,410 cc iterations of the familiar Orion, putting out 72 and 82 hp (53 and 60 kW).^[7] A 105 hp (77 kW) 1400 GT Turbo was added in September 1982.^[8]

The Lancer Fiore/Third generation was discontinued in October 1983 with the introduction of the fourth generation, not even two years after its launch. Production continued in Australia until 1990 (alongside the hatchback version), but labelled as «Mitsubishi Colt». The RWD Lancer EX outlasted it in most markets though.

With the introduction of the C10 series, the Mirage Saloon and Lancer Fiore (just Lancer in the export) remained the same car. The new Lancer Fiore incorporated the latest in computer control engine technology including an electronic fuel injection for its high-performance 1.6-litre turbocharged engine with a power output of 120ps. For the fuel conscious, a 1.8-litre «Sirius» diesel engine was added as well as the new 1.5-litre MD (Modulated Displacement) engine which was developed by Mitsubishi Motors and introduced to the market for the first time.

In 1985, the Lancer Wagon/Cargo (also marketed as the Mirage Wagon/Van) was introduced to address expanding user needs and to extend the versatility of the Lancer lineup. It had rather unusual, diagonal taillights. The following year saw the addition of a full-time four-wheel-drive Wagon version, with a 1.8-litre engine. This model went on to become very popular in both the commercial and private sectors overseas as well as in Japan. Since there was no wagon version of the fifth generation Mirage/Lancer, production of this one continued until 1991.

This model formed the basis of the original Proton sedan, the Saga, which was still in production until early 2008. However, in the Philippines, this generation of Lancer was not sold through Mitsubishi dealers.

In 1988, a more aerodynamic-looking Lancer was launched, following the shape of the Galant. A five-door liftback was added to the range. The station wagon continued on the old platform and shape. In Japan, sedans and hatchbacks were available with either the Lancer or the Mirage nameplate, while hatchbacks were only sold as Mirages and liftbacks only as Lancers. In Australia, where the 1978 Mirage/Lancer Fiore was still produced as the Colt, all models of the new car were sold as the Mitsubishi Lancer, initially designated as the CA series and from 1990 as the CB. In Europe, four- and five-door versions were all called Lancer. Engines available in the European market ranged from the 65 hp 1.2-litre 4G16 (Greece only)^[9] to a 136  hp 1.8-litre 16-valve, and included a 1.8-litre diesel.

In Japan, four-wheel-drive versions were also available, fitted with a carburetted 1.5-liter, fuel-injected 1.6-liter 16-valve, or with the 1.8 diesel. A GSR model with a fuel-injected 1.6-litre turbocharged engine was also produced.

The CA/CB series five-door liftback version continued to be sold in Australia alongside the sixth generation (CC) Lancer from 1992 through to 1996. Confusingly, the carry-over liftback sold after 1992 was also given the «CC» model designation, as utilized by the subsequent model.^[10][11]

It was only in 1991 that there was greater differentiation between the Mirage and Lancer. Although both were on the same platform, the Lancer sedan received different sheetmetal from the Mirage four-door. The Mirage variant was sold in North America under the Eagle Summit name. Minivan models, such as the Mitsubishi Space Runner and Mitsubishi Chariot, were mechanically related. In 1993, the Lancer wagon, named the Libero in Japan, was launched.

An electric version was also released named the Libero EV that ran on NiCd batteries. A V6 variant was also introduced with only 1.6 L, making it the smallest mass-produced V6. The high-performance, turbocharged GSR version formed the basis of the contemporary Lancer Evolution (or ‘Lancer Evo’) from September 1993, using the drivetrain of the successful Galant VR-4 rally car.

The Mirage Asti Coupé in Japan was offered as the Lancer Coupé in many export markets.

The sixth generation Lancer was rebadged as the Proton Wira as a 4-door sedan (and a locally developed 5-door hatchback) in Malaysia. The Lancer Coupé was available as the Putra. Production there began in 1993, and 1.3, 1.5, 1.6, or 1.8 L engines were available. A short-lived 2.0 L diesel model also appeared. Currently, the car has stopped production as one of the longest running Proton models in Malaysia after the Proton Saga, which is also based on a previous Lancer model. The Proton Wira was recently replaced by the Proton Persona.

  Australia (1992–1996)

In Australia, this generation was officially referred to as the CC series.^[12] It was sold as a 2-door coupe, as well as a 4-door sedan, wagon and 5-door hatchback (essentially carried over from the previous generation). The GL trim model was the last Lancer to use a carburetor internal combustion engine. The rest of the range used an electronic fuel injection engine. This generation was sold until 1996, when it was replaced by the popular CE series model.

In 1995, the Lancer was renewed for its Seventh generation, building on the earlier model’s format. Apart from the Evo models’ continuation, it did not depart from the established Lancer formula. A sedan and wagon (Libero in Japan) were offered, with a related Mirage model. The coupé continued as the Mirage Asti in Japan, known as the Lancer Coupé elsewhere. A turbocharged GSR version continued to be sold until the end of the 1990s. This platform was also the basis for the Mirage, as it was known in North America and various other markets.

From 1996 to 2004, the Mitsubishi Carisma, developed in Europe, replaced the Mitsubishi Lancer in some markets.

It is of note, that the Lancer Evolution V was the only Lancer Evolution to gain Mitsubishi the WRC constructors championship. However, driver Tommi Makinen was able to claim four WRC driver’s championships for himself, in 1996–1999, driving Mitsubishi’s Lancer Evolution III, IV, V & VI.

  Australia (1996–2004)

In Australia, the Seventh sold from 1996 to 2004. It was designated as the CE series. Like the previous generation, it was available in a variety of body styles, which helped to cater for a more broad audience. The introduction of a sporty MR coupe helped to target this model directly towards a younger audience.

The station wagon continued on as a CE model, even though it was essentially carried over from the previous generation. This model had an unusually long model run, becoming increasingly uncompetitive as the years went by and often heavily discounted by dealers. Towards the end of its model run, Mitsubishi introduced some limited edition models (based on the GLi) to remain competitive with its rivals, these editions featured extras such as sports interiors, alloys and body kits off higher spec models. Generally, this generation sold well throughout its production run.

It should be noted that despite the introduction of the eighth generation Cedia in 2000, the CE series continued to be sold alongside it until mid-2004. The sedan was available in GLi trim, until it was finally discontinued in 2003. The coupe was facelifted and now only available in GLi and MR trims.

Due to its appearance, affordability, and the rise in status of the Lancer Evolution, this generation was quite popular with young car enthusiasts and the aftermarket modified Japanese car scene. Some popular modifications include exhaust systems, suspension, after market stereos and replica Evolution body kits.

The year 2000 saw the release of the eighth-generation Cedia in Japan (meaning Century Diamond); though in most markets the seventh generation Lancer continued, built at Mitsubishi’s Mizushima plant in Japan. The new model was available in sedan and station wagon forms. The Mirage, apart from the export models, became a different car in Japan that was unrelated to the Lancer. In Europe, the Lancer was not offered in some countries, being too close to the size of the Dutch-built Carisma, so the Evo VII model sold there bore the Carisma name. It is still sold in Japan where the ninth generation Lancer is known as «Galant Fortis».

In North America, the Cedia was introduced in 2002 as a direct replacement for the Mirage. It is powered by a 2.0 L 4G94 engine producing 120 hp (92 kW) and 130 lb·ft (176 N·m) of torque.

In Australia, the eighth generation Lancer was introduced as the CG series in July 2002 with the 2.0 L 4G94 engine. It was introduced as a replacement for the seventh generation sedan, and was sold alongside the popular seventh generation coupe.

  Mid-generation facelift

In 2004, a heavily restyled Lancer surfaced with a front facia that brought it into line with the Mitsubishi corporate look, as well as a restyled rear, to further differentiate itself from the Lancer Evolution. The car’s grille was then redesigned again in 2006.

  North America

In North America, additional minor styling changes also occurred for 2005 and 2006. For the 2005 model year, the grille was changed to include more fins to reflect a closer similarity to the North American Galant. For the 2006 model year, the fascia was changed again from a bridged fascia to one with an open vent after Mitsubishi received complaints from current owners regarding its similarity in appearance to General Motors Division Pontiac’s corporate look, and to bring the appearance closer to its bigger brother, the Evolution.

In Mexico, the Lancer was available in DE, ES, LS and GS trims with a 2.0 L DOHC 4G63 engine. There were no estate versions: only the four-door saloon.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has determined crash test ratings of Lancer of different model years:^[17]

Model year	Model	Type	Frontal driver rating	Frontal passenger rating	Side driver rating	Side passenger rating	4×2 Rollover
2002	Lancer	4-DR
2004	Lancer	4-DR
2006	Lancer	4-DR
2007	Lancer	4-DR

  Ralliart

In addition to the facelift, North America received two additional models to the Lancer line in 2004 – Sportback and Ralliart. The latter slated in between the base and high-performance Evolution model. Both the Sportback and Ralliart had high levels of equipment, based on the Australian Lancer VR-X. The main difference being that these cars came equipped with Mitsubishi’s 2.4L 4G69 engine (rated at 160 hp (119 kW)/162 lb·ft (220 N·m) for the Sportback, and 162 hp (121 kW)/162 lb·ft (220 N·m) for the Ralliart), included a new, stiffer suspension package that improved handling and lowered the cars stance by 1 centimeter, 16″ alloy wheels, front bucket seats borrowed from Japan’s Mitsubishi Evolution GT-A, fog lamps, and a new aerodynamic ground package. The Ralliart also came equipped with a cosmetic rear deck spoiler, and clear rear tail lights. The Sportback was equipped with a 4-speed INVECS-II automatic transmission, with no option for a manual transmission, while the Ralliart came with a 5-speed manual transmission with an option for the 4-speed automatic. The Sportback was also available in the lower spec LS trim.

Due to^{[citation needed]} Mitsubishi’s deteriorating financial situation and slow sales, the Lancer Sportback wagon was cancelled in the United States one year after its release. But the Mitsubishi Lancer wagon was sold in Canada, Japan, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and was available in at least the latter two until 2009.

  Australia

The 2003 facelift, designated the CH series,^[18] introduced a heavily updated VR-X, which included new 16″ alloys, stiffer suspension, body styling kit, and gear shifter borrowed from the Lancer Evolution. In 2004, the new Lancer wagon was introduced as a direct replacement for its ageing predecessor.

In August 2005, all Lancers were upgraded to the 2.4 L 4G69 engine, producing 115 kW (154 hp) and 220 N·m (162 lb·ft) of torque. The upgraded engine also saw a change in trim levels and upgraded equipment—the ES and LS models now featured a more upmarket looking black interior, while the VR-X gained a new black grille to closer resemble the Lancer Evolution IX. The equipment levels of all models were also upgraded, with the LS and VR-X gaining climate control, and a premium audio system sourced from the luxury Mitsubishi Verada. The Exceed model was discontinued, and all updated models now used JDM sized rear bumpers instead of the larger USDM sized versions. Additionally, the wagon also saw these changes; and as of 2007, continues to be sold alongside the sedan.

The ES and LS models were given a minor facelift for the 2007 model year; this time gaining the same front grille as the US models, and putting it into line with the current corporate look—similar to that of the Colt and the locally built 380. Prior to the introduction of the all-new ninth generation Lancer, a limited edition ES model dubbed ‘Velocity’ went on sale. This package included VR-X grill, rear spoiler, leather/alcantara bolsted seats, sports pedals, 15″ OZ alloy wheels and chrome exhaust tip—all for the same price as the previous standard ES.

  Other markets

In Japan, the Cedia was offered with many different trim levels and engines, including some options never exported. It was also one of the first models to use the INVECS-III CVT transmission. There was also a Ralliart version of the sportswagon which was powered by a turbocharged 1.8 L GDI engine. As of 2009, the eighth generation Lancer sedan is still being sold alongside the new ninth generation, which is known in the home market as the Galant Fortis.

In Pakistan, this variant was launched in 2005 with cosmetic changes from the front and the back. Thai production was switched to the new model, and in all markets except for India the seventh-generation model was no longer marketed, four years after the Cedia’s introduction. India received the new Lancer in 2006, known locally as the Mitsubishi Cedia to distinguish it from the previous version which is still assembled and sold as the Lancer.

In Malaysia, the Lancer was made available after Mitsubishi had sold all its shares in Malaysian carmaker Proton, marking the return of Mitsubishi in Malaysian market after being absent since 1985 due to the agreement with Proton. The Lancer sold in Malaysia was powered by the 4G18 engine which also powered the early 1.6 Proton Waja model. In the Philippines, the Lancer underwent a facelift, now without the central semi-triangle in the grille. It is offered in 2 trims, the base GLX with a 5-speed manual and the GLS with an all-new INVECS-III CVT with manual override. Both are powered with an l4 1.6L 4G18 SOHC engine.

In some European markets, the Lancer began to take the place of the Carisma in 2004. It is powered by a 1.3 L SOHC 16valve 4G13 engine producing 82 PS (60 kW) at 5,000 rpm and 120 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm, 1.6 L SOHC 4G18 engine producing 98 PS (72 kW) at 5,000 rpm and 150 Nm at 4,000 rpm and a 2.0 L DOHC 4G63 producing 135 PS (99 kW) at 5,750 rpm and 176 Nm at 4,500 rpm.

In 2005, Mitsubishi revealed the Concept-X model car at the Tokyo Motor Show and its Concept-Sportback model at the Frankfurt motor show. The new Lancer is based on these two concepts. The new Lancer was officially revealed in January 2007 at the Detroit Motor Show and went on sale in North American markets on March 2007 as a 2008 model. New Lancer features Mitsubishi’s next-generation RISE safety body.

As per Mitsubishi’s heritage of the next generation Lancer this is their ninth generation.^[19]

  Americas

For the United States, the new Lancer was initially available in DE, ES, and GTS trim levels.^[20] DE, ES, and GTS models are powered by a GEMA based 4B11, 2.0-litre DOHC engine producing 152 hp (113 kW) (except for California models which have been detuned to 143 hp (107 kW) to meet regulations). Transmission options include a brand new CVT, sourced from Jatco (code: F1CJA), alongside a regular 5-speed manual sourced from Aisin AI (code: F5MBB). GTS models get a 6-speed paddle shift version of the CVT.

In Canada, a fourth model (SE) was introduced to the Lancer lineup. The SE model is a cross between the ES and GTS models. Features not included in the SE model that are found in the GTS are the FAST key, automatic climate control, Rockford Fosgate sound system, carbon-fiber trim pieces, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and 18-inch wheels.

For U.S. markets, starting with the 2009 model year, an ES-Sport version was released similar to the SE model for the Canadian market. Externally the ES-Sport is similar in appearance to the GTS’ skirts, spoiler, mirrors, etc. (with the exception of the wheels, the ES-Sport retains the ES wheelset). The ES-Sport also uses the ES 2.0-liter engine.^[21]

For 2009, the GTS is powered by a 2.4 L 4B12 engine producing 168 hp (125 kW) and 167 lb·ft (226 N·m).^[21]

The five-door hatchback version, known as the Sportback, was introduced for the Canadian market in spring 2009, and in the U.S. for the 2010 model year in late summer 2009.,^[22][23]

  Chile

To differentiate it from the previous model, still on sale, this generation Lancer is marketed as Lancer Serie R in Chile.

  El Salvador

Because the previous generation is still on sale, this generation Lancer is marketed, depending on the engine and trim, as Lancer EX or Lancer GT in El Salvador.

  Australia

The Lancer was released in Australia in October 2007, designated the CJ series and is initially available in ES, VR and VRX trims. The ES included cruise control, driver, passenger and knee airbags, stability and traction control as standard. The VR adds alloy wheels, foglights, side skirts, boot lip spoiler, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights, 6-disc CD changer, as well as curtain and side airbags. The VRX gets extra skirts, a larger rear spoiler, 18-inch alloys and a premium Rockford Fosgate sound system. All three models shared the same 4B11 2.0-litre engine and can be had with manual or CVT. A Ralliart version has been introduced later, with a turbocharged version of the same engine, 4WD and paired with a 6-speed twin-clutch gearbox. The Evo X also joins the lineup afterwards. In late 2008, another variant, the Aspire, has been introduced. It includes more luxury features and has a 2.4-litre 4B12 engine mated only to the CVT. The VRX also gets the engine upgrade and can still be had with a manual.

The Sportback body followed the sedan and can be had in ES, VR, VRX and Ralliart trims. Special models have also been introduced, such as the Platinum Edition, which is based on the VR but added a chrome grille and window surrounds (sedan only), MMCS satellite navigation and Bluetooth compatibility for handsfree mobile phone usage. A new RX version is derived from the ES but comes with standard alloy wheels. Another model introduced in 2010 was the SX coming with factory alloys, leather steering wheel & gear shifter as well as factory spoiler.

  Asia

With the exception of the Lancer Evolution X, the Lancer is marketed as the Galant Fortis (Latin for strong, steadfast and courageous) in the Japanese domestic market.^[24] It comes in 3 trim levels: Exceed, Super Exceed, and Sport.^[25]

The new Lancer was released on September 15, 2007 in Taiwan and has been named Lancer Fortis. It is powered by a 4B11, 2.0-litre DOHC engine outputting 157 hp (117 kW) and the transmission is a 6-speed (fixed gears in sport mode) version of the CVT. However, unlike other Lancer models in USA and Japan, Mitsubishi has changed the front and rear ends to make it look like a family car.^[26]

Due to popular demand of the 7th-gen Lancer in Singapore, it will continue to be sold alongside the new Lancer which will be called the Lancer EX to differentiate itself from the former. The 1.5l, 2.0l and the GTS (marketed as the GT) variants are available in Singapore. For MY2009, the GT has been refreshed all around with updated front grill, darkened clear tail lamps, and chrome lining with an additional floor console internally. Rear brakes has also been upgraded for the 2.0 variants to disc brakes for better stopping power.

In Malaysia, only the GTS is offered and is marketed as the GT. However, Proton has renewed cross-licensing and technology transfer agreements with Mitsubishi as of October 2008, and a second-generation Proton Waja replacement called the Proton Inspira^[27] (codenamed the Proton P3-90A^[28]) will be a rebadged ninth generation Lancer with 3 variants — a 1.8 manual, a 1.8 CVT automatic and a 2.0 CVT automatic.^[29]

In Indonesia, like Malaysia, only the GTS is sold and is badged as the GT using the new 2.0L engine and is sold alongside the Evolution X, and like Singapore the previous generation Lancer is still sold, marketed as the Cedia using the same 1.8L engine as the 7th generation Lancer. With the agreement with Proton finalized on October 2008, it is expected that the Lancer-based Waja will be exported to Indonesia.

Hong Kong received its unique edition of the Lancer in 2008, dubbed the Lancer 2.0. The car comes in two trim levels, without a name for either of them. Both are equipped with the 4B11 2.0 4-cylinder engine, 7 airbags, 8-speaker stereo system (manufacturer not known), Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) with HID as well as 18-inch alloy wheels. The upper trim has Ralliart style body kit which includes a revised front bumper, side skirt, rear bumper with diffuser and the addition of a correct-to-Evolution-X rear spoiler, while the lower trim make do without the abovementioned features.

In Philippines the Lancer arrived in Mid 2008 known as the Lancer EX to differentiate it from the 7th-generation Lancer still sold in the Philippines. For the 2010 MY, the Lancer EX underwent a facelift, and is now available with 4 trims, the Ralliart paired to the 6-speed TC-SST, which is essentially the Lancer Ralliart from the USDM, the GT-A, now with a redesigned front grille resembling the Lancer Ralliart from the USDM, the GT, essentially identical to the GT-A but is paired to a 5-speed manual, the GLS which is essentially identical to the USDM ES model but with dual SRS airbags and standard front foglamps, and the GLX, which is essentially identical to the USDM DE, but with the same rims as with that of the GLS and with dual SRS airbags. All models sport clear-type black taillamps, ABS, EBD and share the same 2.0L 4B11 MIVEC powerplant, with the Ralliart’s engine similar to the USDM Ralliart.

  Europe

In Europe, a 103 kW (140 PS; 138 bhp) 2000 cc diesel model is also available which is built by Volkswagen.

  Republic of Ireland

In the Republic of Ireland, the specifications are different to those sold in the United Kingdom. The Lancer is available in five-door hatchback (Sportback) or four-door saloon bodystyles.

Engines are 1.5L 109 bhp 4-cylinder petrol (Republic of Ireland spec guide), and the 1.8 petrol and 2.0 TDI models available in the United Kingdom are unavailable; but are popular grey imports. Trim levels are Base for the sedan, and Invite for the Sportback. It is a more basic version compared to other European markets.

  Lithuania

In Lithuania (Lietuva) the Lancer is available as both the Sportback (hatchback) and sedan bodystyles. Engines are 1.5L 109 bhp and 1.8L DOHC 136 bhp 4-cylinder petrol engines; Volkswagen’s TDI version is not available there. Trim levels are Inform, Inform +, Invite and Intense, with the sedan being available in 1.5 Inform, 1.8 Inform and 1.8 Inform + versions, and the hatchback models available as 1.8 Inform +, 1.8 Invite and 1.8 Intense. The Ralliart model is unavailable due to the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution being offered in Lithuania; this is identical to the versions sold on the Continent, except with raised ground clearance for Lithuania and Eastern European roads.

  Lancer Ralliart

A detuned and cheaper version of the Evo X was announced at the 2008 Detroit auto show. This model became available for purchase in the United States in October 2008. 177 kW (237 hp), 343 N·m (253 lb·ft) of torque or approximately 205-217whp and 210-219 wheel torque.

For 2009, the Ralliart is available exclusively with the TC-SST transmission,^[30] although Mitsubishi has suggested the possibility of a 5-speed transmission at a later date. The TC-SST transmission equipped in the Ralliart offers 2 modes (Normal, Sport) rather than the 3 modes the same transmission offers in the Lancer Evolution X MR (Normal, Sport, S-Sport). The car also includes a simplified version of the Evolution X’s AWD system (taken directly from the EVO IX), with a simple «mechanical limited slip» rear differential.^[31] Best 0-60 times, 5.3 for sedan and 5.4 hatchback.
