The Mitusbishi Lancer is built for performance and driving pleasure, and it can more than make good on what is promised by the sporty looks. The engineering technology has trickled down from the top-level rallying versions, giving this “humble” (?) version peppy acceleration and great handling that is enhanced by traction control and active stability control - and kept in check by the ABS brakes with EBD and Brake Assist.

The suspension, comprising independent MacPherson struts with coil spring and stabiliser at the front and independent multi-link (also with coil spring and stabiliser) at the rear, make the Mitsubishi Lancer the smoothest of smooth dudes to drive. For the lucky owners of a Mitsubishi Lancer VRX, an optional sports suspension package (or, alternatively, a front strut tower brace) is available to take your driving experience to a level that approaches the Mitsubishi Lancer’ glamorous big brothers, the Ralliart Evolution series.

Power steering and a tilt-adjustable steering column come as standard in all Mitsubishi Lancer models, as does cruise control, making this vehicle a relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable drive.
