The production of the 9th generation Mitsubishi Lancer car was carried out during 2003-2008. The car is still very popular. What is the secret to the success of this sedan? In our Mitsubishi Lancer 9 review, you will learn all the details about this model and be able to draw the appropriate conclusions.
It should be noted that confusion often arises due to the fact that Mitsubishi produces both regular versions of the Lancer model and modifications that have the Evolution prefix in their names. It is used to designate sports options for cars. Our article will talk about the base Mitsubishi Lancer 9.
Appearance Mitsubishi Lancer 9
The exterior of the car cannot boast of having any unique solutions. But, unlike its predecessor, the sedan looks more modern and stylish. True, against the background of the Mitsubishi Lancer X, the participant in our review looks simply ridiculous. The usual Mitsubishi Lancer 9, compared to the sports version of this model, looks very simple. However, appearance is not the most important thing for a car.
The front of the sedan is made quite standard: the lighting is designed in the style of domestic or Chinese cars - too simple, given modern design requirements. Behind the optics turned out to be more interesting, although there are no innovations. Wheels are in harmony with the design of the entire appearance of the car.
Since the development of the exterior design of the Mitsubishi Lancer 9 was carried out more than 10 years ago, it is difficult to adequately assess the quality of work. If we take into account the appearance of the rest of the representatives of this class, released in the same years, our Lancer 9 does not stand out in any way, but does not lag behind them either. The appearance of the car can not be called terrible, but there are no exclusive elements in it. It's good that the company's designers solved this problem in a timely manner, which is immediately noticeable if you compare the ninth generation Lancer with its successor.
Dimensions Mitsubishi Lancer 9 are as follows:
- Length - 4535 mm.
- Width - 1715 mm.
- Height - 1445 mm.
Ground clearance Mitsubishi Lancer 9 is 165 mm.
Interior overview Mitsubishi Lancer 9th generation
The interior of the Japanese sedan is quite neat, but too rustic. Feedback from Mitsubishi Lancer 9 owners indicates that the build quality is quite high, since there are no creaks or backlashes. Various components of the car's electrical package work without interruption even after several years of operation.
The assembly of the instrument panel is also pleasing, it is made of various plastics. The seat adjustments were made mechanical, but choosing the optimal position is quite easy. Mitsubishi Lancer 9 received only vertical steering wheel adjustment, which is one of the car's shortcomings. In addition, there are no various screens on the instrument panel, only an electronic clock is available.
There is not much space in the back. It will be cramped for three passengers, but there is enough space for two. Although the lack of bright interior elements, in fact, can be attributed to the disadvantages of the Mitsubishi Lancer 9, real motorists do tuning the Lancer 9. It's good that there are a lot of opportunities for customizing the interior.
The cargo compartment of the sedan has a volume of 430 liters, which can be called the average for this segment. When transporting fragile goods, it is necessary to monitor their location, since levers take up a large amount of space.
Specifications Mitsubishi Lancer 9
Test drives of the Mitsubishi Lancer 9 show that the car takes turns very well and is controlled quite easily. Finding an explanation for this is very simple, because the more dynamic counterpart of the conventional sedan was used as a rally car.
