The fighter jet of the little man
Since 1973, there is him. And so far, the Lancer was a very brave and boring sedan with a notchback. But now, the Mitsubishi is combative: The new Lancer is served as "Jetfighter".
For example, while the martial Audi front grill of his current car fleet rather innocuous "single-frame has dubbed" the Japanese say the Mitsubishi Lancer from a "Jetfighter" front-view review.
The fighters from Nippon to make, especially in the lower middle class booty. When will "wolf in wolf's clothing, Mitsubishi's European chief Daniel Nacar said at the presentation, it is expected that a" capture rate "of 50 percent - every second Lancer buyers so you get hold of the competition.
According to Mitsubishi's dynamic martial and designers from the hotel's European Design Centre near Frankfurt in Trebur the new generation of models have marked the five-seat "sports sedan".
One of the most distinctive features include the Japanese, because even "the Jetfighter-front" with obliquely tapered nose sharks and large, trapezoidal grille. There are also muscular flanks and pinched-looking front headlights.
Incorrigible whiners will form in the folding of the bonnet hints at the formal language of Volvo. And feel through the narrow, horizontal taillights reminiscent of the Alfa 159th At Mitsubishi we speak rather of the "wedge-shaped waistline," "short body overhangs" and "a powerful short tail." Unity should prevail in all, at least in the conclusion that the new Mitsubishi Lancer is the sportiest and most striking of the produced series for 35 years.
And the most comfortable. With a length of 4.57 meters, it is almost up to the scale of resources such as the Toyota Avensis graders. The 2.64-meter wheelbase not only provide short overhangs of the body but also for a decent space inside.
Even the back is still enough room for adult Central Europeans - even with front seats pushed back. The offer, moreover, a decent side support. Only the 400-liter trunk is for the vehicle category was somewhat more concise.
The interior itself appears quite high quality - but seems a bit cautious because of the instrumentation a little bad modest. One can also see the positive: The Lancer is easy to use and intuitive. The necessary switches and displays are all available - and where they belong. A functional cockpit without unnecessary frills.
And as usual for Mitsubishi, well processed. A few more trays you would probably want more. And just as easily as the rest-to-use navigation system. Just the search for the demolition button for guidance is the lively guessing game.
Initially, the new Lancer is available in Germany with two units to choose from: a 1.8-liter gasoline engine and a 2.0-liter diesel. Is from the VW and despite the harsh, especially in cold run something and dusty total pump-injector technology but certainly the better choice. He will, of which one is convinced at Mitsubishi in Europe of the volume engine until it is expected to be replaced in 2009 own a Mitsubishi diesel with common rail technology.
With its 140 bhp, the ignition is not a race engine drives, the 1.5-ton Lancer but moving quite fast - even at low engine speeds. It also has the beefy torque of 310 Newton meters of its share, which lies at 1750 revolutions per minute.
The sprint from standstill to 100 km creates the diesel Lancer in 9.6 seconds - only a split more than a comparable BMW 318d strong and heavy. The top speed is achieved at 207 mph.
The consumption is officially at 6.1 liters per 100 km. This is not just a little comparison in the class - the corresponding motorized VW Golf TDI is officially at 5.4 liters of diesel, the 318d even with 4.7 liters. A particulate filter is standard equipment.
Specific value have put the Japanese on the European coordination of the suspension - and with success. It's comfortable enough cushion on one side to make the Lancer a long-distance touring car. But ever so tightly that the sporty driving potential fulfilled the promises of external appearance.
He is consistently good-natured even when it comes to something snappier curves - only with a lot of tuition forces to the rear of a light fawn and the tires to an indignant squeak. To great exuberance sets the electronic down early. The precise steering also helps with there. The six-speed manual transmission is well matched to the engine and can be accurately, quickly and switch to a sedan quite crisp.
The diesel (140 hp) at a price of € 21 490 up available, the gasoline engine with 143 horsepower from 19 250 €. That is quite cheap - especially since even in the basic facilities, "Invite" neatly with what has been hineingepackt.
The competitors are usually more expensive way. The VW Jetta costs about the same practical diesel at least € 25 550, and even the Golf 2.0 TDI is still a few hundred euros more expensive. Already in the pipeline is a sedan version of the Lancer, which will follow in the autumn of next year.
