"Mitsubishi Lancer 10": reviews. Mitsubishi Lancer 10: description, price

The company "Mitsubishi" - the world famous Japanese automaker. Its cars are popular all over the world, particularly in Russia, and the model range includes more than a dozen cars of different classes and destinations. In this article will be considered technical characteristics, description of appearance, interior and reviews. "Mitsubishi Lancer 10" - a city car that has become a cult and popular until now.

The appearance of the model

This car appeared for the first time in 2007. When the 9th generation of "Lancer" is very outdated, it's time for big changes.

The history of this model begins in 1973. Even then, the creators clearly defined the class and purpose of this car - a budget urban sedan, which should become the face and flagship of the company. The model survived 10 generations in various bodies, designs and with a variety of engines. At the end of the last century, the car finally settled in the golf class after many changes of concepts and purposes.

In January 2007, Mitsubishi held a presentation of the 10th Generation Lancer at the Detroit Auto Show. But rumors about the revival of the model began to appear even earlier - in 2005, together with the concepts.

Appearance of "Lancer 10"

The car immediately after the presentation gathered all the positive feedback. "Mitsubishi Lancer 10" was radically different from the ninth generation, externally and internally, not to mention the technical component.

To compare two generations does not make any sense. The design and platform of the car were created by the Japanese from scratch. First, the tenth "Lancer" looks an order of magnitude more athletic. Its design can be called flagship or key for the company's modern lineup - most cars were copied from Lancer (ASX, Colt of the latest generation).

Stylish design even after 8 years after the first release deserves only positive reviews. "Mitsubishi Lancer 10" boasts the appearance of a real sports car - a swift profile, mundane "nose" car. The long hood is organically completed by a huge radiator grille in the middle of the front part, which is slightly blunted at an angle. This grille is enclosed in a chrome frame. Oblong headlights are made in a general design with a body. On the hood are two air intakes. Continue the general theme theme of the chrome stripes under the side windows along the entire body. On the side of the car there are sports lining.

Design

The car's feed also looks very sporty. A small spoiler on the trunk lid emphasizes the cocky character of the sedan. This element, unfortunately, is only available in the maximum configuration of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10. The owners' comments indicate that at the time of purchase of this car at an earlier time, he constantly caught the interested views of passers-by. On the one hand, "Lancer" is similar to an ordinary urban sedan, no different from 90% of cars on public roads. On the other hand, it has much in common with the recent GT86, although they represent completely different classes.

Finally, in the review of the exterior of the "Lancer" of the tenth generation, let's walk around the dimensions of the car in order to approximately imagine its dimensions. So, in length the sedan reaches 4570 mm. In width and height - 1760 and 1505 mm respectively. Let's move on to the car salon.

Salon "Lancer"

The interior of the sedan collects a variety of mixed and mixed reviews. "Mitsubishi Lancer 10", on the one hand, can be praised for the neat and discreet interior design. If you look at the other, the creators have overdone it with simplifying the panel and everything else.

The front console is almost completely borrowed from the "Lancer" of the ninth generation. Fans will have to reconcile the receivers of a third-party production: on the central console a factory radio is built in, without the possibility of replacing them with another. Therefore, you can change it only to an identical or other special multimedia system from Mitsubishi Lancer 10. Reviews of owners usually do not mention this point - most likely, the factory radio tape recorder is not a problem, but even vice versa.

Above the radio is a small monochrome display diagonal of 3.5 inches with a pleasant red illumination. It displays all the technical information and statistics, such as mileage or temperature. Also information from the multimedia system - it all depends on the preferences of the car owner. Under the control of multimedia is a large alarm button, and a little lower - the control of the stove or air conditioning.

The three-spoke steering wheel looks nice and lies in the hands in the same way. On the left side of the steering wheel are the controls of the radio tape recorder. The dashboard also deserves positive feedback. "Mitsubishi Lancer 10" made its distinctive feature red illumination on the central panel.

Seats and comfort

In size, "Lancer" is a full five-seater. The front seats are quite comfortable. Of course, there are very few adjustments and adjustments. But do not forget that the "Lancer" is a C-class, and not the most comfortable business sedan. The front of the place is enough even for tall and big people. This is due to a narrow center console with a shift knob.

In the rear seats the situation is somewhat worse: three large passengers will not feel very comfortable. And for tall people, a rather low roof becomes a hindrance.

Quality of interior materials

In this moment, "Mitsubishi" frankly disappointed. Of course, cheap and hard plastic, bad seating of the seats can be blamed for the budget of the class itself. But in comparison with competitors in its segment is too poor looks "Lancer". The only thing that gathers laudatory reviews of "Mitsubishi Lancer 10" in terms of the cabin - it's ergonomic. Many car manufacturers should learn from this example.

Trunk

Even by the standards of the C-class, the "Lancer" quite a modest amount of luggage - only 315 liters. The shape of the luggage compartment also disappointed: due to the body features, the access opening to the luggage compartment is rather narrow, which somewhat hinders access to the interior. Of the additional options can be noted folding rear backrests, allowing to form a luggage compartment with a compartment a single space. The spare wheel is under the plywood floor of the trunk.

Specifications

To date, the engine line offers two options. The first is 1.6 liters and 117 horsepower under the hood. Overclocking performance of the car average - from 11 to 14 seconds to 100 km / h with a maximum speed of 190 km / h. It is worth mentioning that the best in terms of gearbox is suitable for the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 variator. The feedback from owners coincides in one: there is no need to wait for this modification from the overclocking characteristics, so the variator will allow you to spend time at the wheel with comfort. The consumption of a 1.6-liter engine leaves about 7 liters per 100 km.

The next motor is a 1.8-liter 140-hp unit. How can say the feedback, "Mitsubishi Lancer 10" machine looks best with this engine - there are a lot of laudatory speeches from the owners in his direction. The maximum speed is 202 km / h, and acceleration to a hundred takes only 10 seconds. With a box-variator the car accelerates much more slowly. What is most interesting, fuel consumption has become more than just 0.5 liters.

Earlier the line included 3 more engines, but due to lack of demand, the company decided to reduce the range. A bit earlier, the modification was very popular. Reviews "Mitsubishi Lancer 10" 2.0 collected only eulogies. But the big consumption of fuel and practically unsuitable for such a powerful car city conditions and traffic jams have made their - the sedan began to buy less and less.

Packages and prices

Currently, you can purchase in four different trim levels of Mitsubishi Lancer 10. Reviews 1.8-liter engine deserved those who say that this is the most popular modification of the sedan to date.
