Lancer 9 generation combines many useful features and qualities. There are two popular versions of the car - 1.3-liter and 1.6-liter. The sports modification, equipped with a 2-liter unit, is designed for amateurs. The "Russian" Lancer 9 was also offered in three versions: 1.3, 1.6 and 2.0 - all with gasoline internal combustion engines. Both sedans and station wagons sold well.

Sedans

Regarding the configuration of the sedan, the following picture is built:

• 82-horsepower 1.3-liter engine was equipped only with equipment Invite-MT. The engine brand was called 4G13, and the body brand was CS1A. Years of release - from August 2003 to May 2009. Wheel drive - front.
• Equipment Invite-MT it was also equipped with a 1.6-liter internal combustion engine in the same brand of body. Lancer 9 of this version accelerated to a hundred in 13.6 seconds. Fuel consumption - 6.7 liters.
• A 98-horsepower 1.6-liter power unit was equipped with a package called Invite-MT Special, published from April 2007 to June 2007. The car developed a speed of 183 km / h, differed from other versions (for example, invite plus) low consumption - 6.7 l / 100 km versus 7.9 l / 100 km - a noticeable difference. The gearbox is mechanical with 5 speeds, when the standard Invite 1.6 was equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission.
• The same engine was placed on invite plus with manual transmission, and AT and on AT plus with automatic transmission. A model with a 4-speed automatic transmission, produced from March 2006 to May 2009, consumed 7.9 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Given the presence of an automatic transmission, such an expense can be considered not very high.
• Complete set Instyle-MT and Instyle-AT equipped with a 1.6-liter engine. Both versions were produced from August 2003 to May 2009. The consumption of the version equipped with a manual transmission was 6.7 l / 100 km, and the modifications with a gun - 7.9 l / 100 km. The 5-speed manual accelerated to 100 km / h in 11.8 seconds, and the automatic in 13.6 seconds. It is noteworthy that on the mechanics it was possible to accelerate to 183 km / h, and on the machine - only up to 176 km / h.
• Top configurations Intens-MT and Intens-AT equipped with a larger 4G63 engine of 2.0 liters. Intens-MT was published from August 2003 to May 2009. Intens-AT - from March 2006 to May 2009. Consumption of the mechanical version - 8.4 l / 100 km, automatic - 9 liters. The complete set with a machine gun was also inferior in maximum speed: up to 204 km / h, Lancer 9 with a manual transmission could accelerate, up to 187 km / h with an automatic transmission.

Inside, the sedan, and especially the station wagon, is practical and meets the rules for a family car. For example, the dimensions of the trunk, almost the best in the class - 430 liters.

In the cabin, everything is done to such an extent that it can even be called somewhat ascetic. This is especially true of the interior of the "Russian" versions, which looks somehow gray against the background of the "US" ones.

In the "American" and "Asian" versions, an impressive multimedia system with an LCD monitor and beautiful wood-like overlays. And the Momo steering wheel, electric sunroof and leather interior are the height of sophistication. Such models justifiably "rule" in the secondary market. You can recognize them by nameplates: Raliart, Mirage or Virage.

In general, thanks to a direct delivery from Japan and larger sizes compared to the previous Lancer 8, the Russians fell in love with the Lancer 9 (or the restyled Cedia). The owners were impressed by the rear sofa, on which even very tall and obese people felt comfortable. True, there should have been no more than two of them, otherwise it became crowded. The front passenger seat was also not impressive due to the sharply sloping ceiling.

Restyling in 2005 brought practically nothing new. Except for the modified grille and upgraded bumper. There was also climate control and a new leather steering wheel.

Lancer 9 had the best demand in the Russian market in 2005-2007. There is no shortage of these models even today. Less common are pre-styling modifications of 2003-2004 release. Even fewer cars of the late period - 2008-2009. Despite the technical advantage of the station wagon, the sedan dominates the market. As for engines, the 98-horsepower naturally aspirated 1.6-liter engine is more in demand. From the boxes - manual transmission.
