Safety

5-star ANCAP safety rating
Lancer has been awarded a 5-star rating by the Australian New Car Assess,emt Program (ANCAP), the highest rating possible. ANCAP, Australia’s leading automotive safety authority is supported by Australian and New Zealand automobile clubs.

Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE)
The RISE body system combines an energy-absorbing front section with a strong, rigid occupant cell to provide outstanding protection in the event of an accident. Crushable zones teamed with a straight frame chassis and octagonal section frames are designed to absorb and dissipate energy from the passenger compartment.

Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) Airbags
To provide ultimate protection in the event of a collision, Lancer is available with up to seven SRS airbags. Lancer is the only car in its class to come equipped with a driver’s knee airbag as standard across all models. In some head-on accidents, it stabilises the driver’s legs and lower body. This allows the other airbags to do their job of protecting the upper body more effectively.

Anti Lock Braking System (ABD)
Lancer is ready to perform if you’re faced with the unexpected. ABS helps the driver maintain steering control and avoid hazards by adjusting the braking pressure to prevent the wheels from locking up under hard braking or during an emergency stop.

Electronic Breakforce Distribution (EBD)
EBD helps you to stay in control should you need to stop quickly. When carrying passengers or heavier loads, EBD distributes braking force between the front and rear wheels to ensure optimum braking and reduce stopping distance.

Active Stability Control (ASC)
ASC maintains stability and minimises loss of control when cornering by automatically recognising understeer and oversteer. It then applies the brakes to the appropriate wheels to keep you on line and in control through corners.

Active Traction Control (ATC )
ATC automatically controls and improves the stability and acceleration of the car by minimising wheel spin, maintaining traction at all times even in the most slippery conditions.

Performance

MIVEC ENGINES
The Lancer range features two powerful yet fuel efficient MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and Electronic Control) engines. ES and VR models feature a 2.0 litre engine while VRX and Aspire models deliver more power thanks to the 2.4 litre engine. MIVEC offers the latest technology in the form of a lighter engine with intelligent valve timing technology to deliver excellent fuel efficiency and lower emissions, while providing improved drivability. It matches your driving style to minimise fuel consumption at lower revs, while increasing airflow at high revs for greater power and performance.

Continously Variable Transmission (CVT)
with sports mode

CVT automatic transmission is electronically integrated with MIVEC to ensure Lancer is operated in the best gearing for optimum revs. This ensures maximum power, excellent fuel economy and a smoother ride with seamless gear changes.

5-speed Manual Transmission
Keyless synchronisers on all gears deliver a superior shift, letting you enjoy the primal excitement of hands-on control as the precision-tuned manual transmission answers your every commence.

Sports Mode
Sports mode lets you enjoy the racing feel of changing gears, with 6-step shift control that still provides the convenience of an automatic transmission.

INVECS III Smart Logic Transmission
Enjoy effortless acceleration and a more predictable ride. The lancers INVECS III (Intelligent and Innovative Vehicle Control System) improves performance by automatically switching between logic controls.

Rally-bred
Lancer has evolved into a sports machine like no other, turning heads on the city streets and rally stages alike. It all started with the 1600 GSR. In 1973, the first Lancer hit the streets and the world of motor sports, taking a remarkable 1-2-3-4 victory in the Southern Cross rally. A legend was born.
