In the basic configuration "Invite" Mitsubishi Lancer equipped with air conditioning, ABS with EBD, halogen headlights, 16-inch wheels, heated seats and an on-board computer. There is no audio system as standard. The “Invite+” bundle is distinguished by the presence of a built-in MP3 radio, fog lights, a leather steering wheel with audio control buttons, leather gear levers and a parking brake. Maximum equipment"Intense" has climate control and a 6-disc CD changer with MP3 playback capability. The external differences of the Intense modification from the previous ones are a sports suspension with a clearance reduced to 150 mm, a strut between the front struts in engine compartment to increase the rigidity of the body, chrome-plated grille trim and an aerodynamic body kit with a large spoiler on the trunk lid. In 2011, the car was restyled, there was a chrome trim on the radiator grille, a color display on the instrument panel, alloy wheels of a new design, the equipment of the basic configuration has improved, in addition to this, an even more inexpensive equipment “Inform” (1.6 MT) with simplified solutions has been added external design, interior and equipment.
In Russia, this car is offered with 1.5 MIVEC engines (109 hp) with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission gears and 2.0 MIVEC (150 hp) with the same manual transmission or CVT. After restyling in 2011, Mitsubishi Lancer is already offered with 1.6 (117 hp) and 1.8 (140 hp) engines, which also use the MIVEC system - proprietary technology for changing phases and valve lift with electronic control. With it, optimal power characteristics and reduced fuel consumption are realized. So, for example, with a 1.6 engine, gasoline consumption is 6.1 liters per hundred kilometers. In addition, thanks to this technology, the new motors have increased "elasticity" - that is, the ability to develop high torque over a wide rev range.
Mitsubishi Lancer suspension is MacPherson strut with stabilizer roll stability in front and a "multi-link" in the back. This design, which has been typical for several generations, is an integral part of the Lancer and, in terms of comfort, distinguishes the car from many classmates. Cars with CVT Sport Mode are equipped with paddle shifters - speed switches. Car ground clearance - 165 mm.
As standard, the car is equipped with frontal two-stage airbags for the driver and front passenger, belt pretensioners, door stiffeners, ISOFIX mounts. Of the electronic "assistants" used: anti-lock brake system, distribution system braking force, emergency braking assistance system. In the “Invite +” and Intense trim levels, there are additional side airbags, a driver’s knee airbag, and a front passenger airbag with a deactivation function.
Good afternoon. In today's article, I will talk about weak spots Mitsubishi Lancer 10 ( Mitsubishi Lancer x). Let's agree on the shore - the article was written by a reseller, the author does not have a long operating experience of exactly 10 Lancers, but he owned the ninth Lancer for more than 2 years.
Mitsubishi Lancer X debuted back in 2007, and since then a huge number of Japanese cars have spread around the world, which are now found with enviable regularity on the used car market. The “tenth” Lancer X still looks quite nice. And that is why Lancer X with mileage easily find new owners. Plays into the hands of the Japanese car and its high reliability. However, it's completely hassle-free. operation of Mitsubishi Lancer X 10 can not be called.
Body and paint problems.
Body metal Lancer X is quite thin, but even on the oldest versions Japanese car You won't see rust spots. Is that in the area of the trunk may show up a few "spiders". All due to the fact that moisture enters the trunk through loosely fitting rear light seals.
Well, the classics of the genre - thresholds:
And here paintwork body Lancer X could be more resistant to external influences. Almost all cars are full of small scratches and chips. Another disadvantage is the soft plastic headlights. Over time, it becomes cloudy, which makes the Lancer X a little blind. Fortunately, if desired, and return them to their former transparency.
Inside Mitsubishi Lancer X will not impress. The interior of a Japanese car is made of frankly cheap hard plastic, which eventually begins to creak mercilessly. When buying a car, pay attention to the condition of the armrests. The fabric on them is quickly rubbed off, so that its condition can indirectly judge the real mileage of the car.
Weak points of electrical equipment Lancer 10.
Electrical equipment Mitsubishi Lancer X as a whole works without comment. Only after 5-6 years of operation can a rather expensive stove fan motor make noise. On some vehicles, problems were noted with the heated seats and the mechanism for folding the rear-view mirrors. Fortunately, they did not receive mass distribution.
Engine reliability.
Of all the engines that were installed on a Japanese car, the 1.5-liter gasoline power unit will have to be recognized as the most unsuccessful. The main problem of this power unit is the coking of piston rings, which leads to increased consumption engine oil. So after 60 thousand kilometers Mitsubishi owners Lancer X with this engine will have to periodically check the oil level.
The rest of the engines offered for the Lancer X do not suffer from oil gluttony. And if possible, it is better to stop your choice on them. The ideal option for a Japanese car, can a 1.8-liter gasoline engine be considered. With proper maintenance, it can easily withstand 250-300 thousand kilometers. Approximately the same resource has a two-liter gasoline power unit. The undoubted advantage of these engines is the fact that their gas distribution mechanism uses a chain that has not required attention for years.
However, even in this case, there are some small problems. The delicate throttle body will have to be cleaned every 30-40 thousand kilometers. After a run of 50-70 thousand kilometers, you will have to pay more and more attention to the condition of the belt of mounted units. Moreover, in which case it will be necessary to change not only it, but also the rollers. By a run of 100-150 thousand kilometers on the Lancer X, as a rule, the front oil seal begins to snot crankshaft.
Weaknesses in the transmission.
The Getrag F5M manual transmission, paired with a 1.5-liter engine, has not proven itself too well. Many owners complained that the clutch in the box had to be changed after 40-50 thousand kilometers. The bearings of the input shaft turned out to be not too tenacious either. The Aisin manual gearbox, which was installed on the Lancer X version with two other gasoline engines, is much more reliable. Although in it, after a run of 100 thousand kilometers, the gears begin to switch with little effort. Quite often on the Mitsubishi Lancer X you can meet and. He does not cause any particular problems. Only occasionally do owners complain that the variator does not switch transmission modes. This happens due to poor selector contact. However, it is important to understand that the repair of the variator, in which case, will cost more than that on the "mechanics". So before buying a car with a CVT, it is better to conduct a thorough diagnosis of this unit. And already during operation, try not to overheat the transmission and periodically check the cleanliness of its radiator. In addition, every 70-80 thousand in the variator you will have to change quite expensive oil. If you follow all these tips, then a continuously variable transmission will probably last from 250-300 thousand kilometers. The four-stage “automatic” Jatco, which was installed on the Mitsubishi Lancer X with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine, has the same resource.
Suspension reliability.
The suspension of a Japanese car is reliable. But to prolong its service life, try to periodically clean it from sand and salt. It is because of them that the struts and stabilizer bushings begin to creak prematurely. Before restyling, the front ones collected the most claims from Lancer X owners, which on some cars withstood only 30-40 thousand kilometers. After updating the car, this problem was solved. The resource of racks has increased several times. The same is true for wheel bearings. On cars from the first batches, they withstood only 60-80 thousand kilometers, but after a couple of years their resource became noticeably higher.
Steering problems.
We will have to talk about the reliability of the steering of a Japanese car with an eye to this engine, which is installed under the hood. On cars with a base one and a half liter engine, an electric booster was installed in the steering instead of “hydraulics”. It is on these versions steering rack and traction could start knocking after 40-50 thousand kilometers. However, owners of used cars are especially afraid of nothing. Most of the problems appeared during the warranty period, so on almost all cars the expensive unit was replaced under warranty.
About the brakes.
AT brake system The Japanese car receives the most complaints about the guide brackets of the calipers, which begin to rattle annoyingly after 40-60 thousand kilometers. Otherwise, there shouldn't be any problems. The replacement interval for discs and pads in the Lancer X is no different from that on competing cars.
Outcome.
Mitsubishi Lancer X has weaknesses, but in fact there are not so many of them. Most classmates of a Japanese car present unpleasant surprises much more often, so you can safely buy a Lancer X. But it is better to refuse the basic versions with a 1.5-liter engine, preferring cars with more powerful power units volume of 1.8 and 2 liters.
In conclusion, I suggest watching this video:
That's all I have today. If you have something to add to the article about the weaknesses of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 - write comments ...
The once legendary Mitsubishi brand was blown away by the beginning of the 2000s and ceased to delight fans with driving and expressive cars. They were replaced by a measured generation without a bright design and outstanding performance. An example of such a transformation was the tenth Generation Lancer. Fans of the previous generation were disappointed: the “ten” became more complicated in design, lost its former reliability, the maneuverability and excitement of the ninth generation disappeared. But comfort became a higher class, and the appearance met the modern standards of automotive beauty at that time. Most of the sales were due to the history of the model. How does the tenth generation come to secondary market, we learn in the review of "Lancer".
The model has been sold in Russia since 2007. During this time, she survived two restyling - in 2011 and 2015. In 2017, Lancer completely ceased to exist. Almost all models sold on the secondary market are sedans, but occasionally you can also find hatches. Lancer IX was chosen for its budget and the absence of global problems over a long period of operation. The “ten” was not able to please those who moved to the older generation: it was no longer possible to drive several hundred thousand kilometers without investment. In Lancer X, it’s not enough just to pour in new oil, it needs more serious care.
Engines
In the line of engines, the tenth generation did not have unsuccessful ones. All serve 150-200 thousand km. before the first major renovation. Even a weak one and a half liter, which is not suitable for big sedan, does not break immediately. Yes, she will not be able to “give gas” and is only suitable for trips around the golf course, but she is not particularly demanding on repairs. Included with her was mechanical box, on which bearings flew every now and then and the electric power steering often failed.
Other gasoline engines turned out even more successful, more powerful and more reliable. The manufacturer offered a choice: 1.5; 1.6; 1.8; 2.0 and 2.4 liters. They say that on the secondary there are also diesel units, but they rarely come across in ads.
Without problem areas the Lancer engines did not do well. Clogged on two-liter engines throttle valve, because of which the revolutions jump to Idling. For engines 1.8 and 2.0, belt rollers wear out by 65 thousand km attachments, and the belt jumps off them. For all engines on a run of over 100 thousand km, the front crankshaft oil seal flows. This is fraught with failure of the crankshaft pulley, on which oil flows. By a hundred kilometers, the engine starts to hum excessively. This is a signal of a drawdown of the graphite ring of the exhaust pipe.
Manual transmissions are not satisfactory, with the exception of the one that is paired with a one and a half liter engine. 1.5 and 1.6 were also completed with an ordinary automatic machine: an old, unhurried and uneconomical, but reliable and “eternal” box. With these boxes, you only need to change the oil on time - at 60-80 thousand km. A variator was installed on motors 1.8 and 2.0. If the previous owner did not shake the box extreme driving then there is nothing to fear. In the heat and with a dashing driving style, oil boils in the box. Look for items that have been serviced regularly and dealers who can confirm this. Other typical problems with engines in the "Lancer" was not identified.
Body
Servicemen say that the thin layer of paint that the tenth Lancers were equipped with lasts quite a long time. The car is not prone to corrosion, if there was no mechanical damage. If chips were painted over blindly in dark garages, then under a layer of such body repair corrosion will wait for the new owner.
Height ground clearance only 165 mm, so the "skirts" and body kits on the "Lancers" are always scratched or completely torn off. The size of the Mitsubishi Lancer in length - 4570 mm - is standard for a C-class sedan. Not so much will fit in the trunk of the Lancer - only 315 liters, which is significantly less than that of competitors.
Salon
The salon of the tenth "Lancer" remains in its original form for a long time. Partly, the fact is that there is nothing remarkable and innovative inside the "ten". Therefore, it will not be possible to determine the mileage by the interior.
Attractive and interesting interior design is not about Lancer. Inside, the driver and passenger will feel minimalist: nothing more. Sometimes it is so ascetic that even the necessary will not be enough. The plastic inside is hard and matte.
The second row of seats is comfortable. Legroom is enough even for tall passengers, which can not be said about the headroom. The rear sofa is designed for three, but only slender and low fellow travelers will be comfortable.
Chassis
The suspension of the "ten" is noticeably nicer than that of the previous generation: it elastically passes bumps and jumps over speed bumps. But in the corners the car is not able to keep the road, heels in all directions. And this is not at all what you expect from the heir to the legendary rally past.
According to the reviews of the owners about the Lancer, after 45 thousand km it is necessary to change the native bushings of the stabilizer, at 70 thousand km - the rear silent blocks. By 90 thousand, the stabilizer struts and front shock absorbers “die”. It’s good if the previous owner chose high-quality analogues, and they go through the same amount.
In the rear suspension, the outer silent blocks of transverse levers are the first to be surrendered - already by 90 thousand km. The remaining parts live up to 150 thousand km.
Buy Lancer X or not
You need to have luck and luck to find an acceptable Mitsubishi Lancer with mileage. In an attempt to look like heroes from the cinema, the owners sunk the “dozens” to the maximum, even if it was a one and a half liter engine. As a result, the market is full of cars after accidents of varying severity, with dead engines and tired boxes. Perhaps this is the main disadvantage of the Mitsubishi Lancer of the anniversary and latest generation.
The average cost of used Lancers is 381 thousand rubles for earlier models and 407.5 thousand rubles for newer copies. For this money, for example, a 2007 model is sold. with a mileage of 160 thousand km on a two-liter engine with 150 "horses":
We found another option - more expensive: a bright restyled Lancer X in 2012 with a 1.6 and 117 hp engine. with.:
According to Autocode's review, this blue beau is being sold with a full host of unwanted issues:
- The car has been in at least four officially registered accidents.
- According to the official calculations of the insurance company, the car needed repairs for 1.8 million rubles.
- The car has four registration restrictions prohibiting registration for a new owner;
- There are two unpaid fines on the car.
Fans of the brand are used to not spending money on maintenance, so meeting a car with quality care is happiness. Most of the copies have already used up their resource and therefore are being sold.
When buying, double-check everything three times. And be sure to take the car for a full diagnosis. Be carefull!

There is an opinion that new model any car is worth buying only after the first revision. The updated "Mitsubishi-Lancer 10" fully and completely proves this judgment. Let's find out why this is so and what interesting things the latest version of the popular favorite has prepared for us.
A bit of history
The first Lancer-Mitsubishi 10 models appeared in our showrooms in 2007. In parallel with them, Lancer 9 was being sold, which had been produced since 2000 and at that time had already gone through three restylings. At the same time, the top-end equipment of the ninth Lancer cost the same as the basic equipment of the tenth with a similar engine.
Thus, Lancer 9 sold well in parallel with Lancer 10 for another three years. The main advantage of the "nine" was the technology proven over the years and the sins eliminated that could arise at the beginning of sales. "Ten" meanwhile received a lot negative reviews due to some "dampness", obvious flaws and solutions that do not correspond to its price.
The first version of Lancer-Mitsubishi 10 had a lot of problems. And if the exclamations "goes worse than its predecessor" can be considered subjective, then some problems were frankly visible to the naked eye. Among them, one can single out the low quality of interior trim and poor sound insulation. The tenth "Lancer" received more than modern design and the actual interior design at that time, however, in terms of the quality of materials, he clearly lost to the "ninth".
Changes were not long in coming
Now it’s clear why the updated Lancer-Mitsubishi 10 was so long-awaited. But did the manufacturer, for which the CIS market is second in priority after native Japan, hear the wishes of customers? Even from the press releases, it became clear that he seemed to have heard. Noise isolation was improved, finishing materials were made much more pleasant to the touch, instead of a monochrome display, a color one was installed between the speedometer and tachometer wells. And on all modifications of the car, a bumper was also installed from the RallyArt model.
Thus, the manufacturer not only heard the pleas of motorists, but also took them into account. But that's not all. The most important change has taken place under the hood. The base engines of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 had a volume of 1.5 liters, which, by definition, is rather weak for Lancer lovers. In the new version, they were bored out to a volume of 1.6 liters. The motor now generates 117 Horse power. Recall that the 1.5-liter engine produced 109 hp. with.
Psychological move
Of course, even a novice driver will understand that such an increase in volume and power will not greatly affect the dynamics of the basic configuration of the updated Lancer-Mitsubishi 10. But the manufacturer had to do it, and here's why. Firstly, competitors have long been making smaller engines with more power. And secondly, the number 1.5 does not look at all on the body of a car, whose appearance looks very sporty and dynamic.
The second trick I used Japanese manufacturer, to draw the attention of customers to their new offspring - the bumper "Mitsubishi-Lancer 10" and its grille, which are borrowed from the RallyArt version. This little thing at first glance may seem completely invisible, but it is very captivating. So in a simple way the manufacturer allegedly gives buyers of the new, tenth Lancer the right to feel involved in the circle of sports car owners. It should be noted that this "chip" works very successfully. The car in this version looks very fresh and attractive.
Have the company's claims of improvement been confirmed?
Having received the keys to the restyled Mitsubishi Lancer 10, the photo of which differs little from its predecessor, few people will focus on its exterior. What really interests everyone is the interior decoration. As the reviews show, the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 in the new version has really nice finishing materials. With soundproofing, too, everything is in order, at least when compared with the previous version. Of course, there are "classmates" of the "Lancer", in which the noise level in the cabin is much lower. Generally, Japanese company did not disappoint and corrected mistakes, but did nothing special.
Equipment
"Lancer" is equipped according to all the canons of its class. In the basic configuration, the following options are installed on it: ABS, electronic brake force distribution controller, Brake Assist system, which helps with emergency braking, front airbags, child seat mounts, on-board computer, immobilizer, halogen headlights and air filter. So even the basic version has everything necessary elements for comfort.
In more expensive versions, in addition to the above, there are: heated seats, an illuminated ignition switch, electric drive and heated side mirrors, air conditioning, a navigation lamp, remote control of the gas tank cap, a leather steering wheel, fog lights, gearshift paddles and much more.
On the road
The motor really became livelier, but this difference is almost imperceptible. The familiar 5-speed gearbox is reminiscent of previous version auto. It works flawlessly, but sixth gear is clearly not enough, especially given the new character of the Mitsubishi-Lancer 10. Rear suspension, like the front one, is very reminiscent of an older brother. The behavior of our hero on the road is quite predictable and moderately comfortable, just like the previous version. But the tenth is still far from the controllability of the ninth Lancer. In a turn, the car rolls rather well, but it would definitely be dishonest to call its behavior critical.
trump card
They, as before, is the cost. As practice shows, in our market the price is the main argument, and Japanese automakers are well aware of this. So the price of the new, tenth "Lancer" in a decent basic configuration Inform is 19.7 thousand dollars. A more equipped modification called Invite will cost the buyer already 21 thousand USD. e. The same versions, but with automatic transmission, cost 21 and 22 thousand, respectively.
An even more interesting version with a 2-liter 150-horsepower engine is called Invite + and costs 22 thousand with a manual transmission and a thousand more with a CVT. Among other things, it is equipped with MASC + MATC security systems, remote control central locking, as well as a light and rain sensor.
The top "Lancer 10" in the Intense configuration has a spoiler, airbags for rear passengers and it costs 24 thousand dollars already. To understand how objective the price is, you can simply look at how often the Lancer is found on the roads. In any case, I'm glad that a new version costs the same as the old one.
