Unveiled in 2007 at the Detroit Motor Show, the seventh generation of the Mitsubishi Lancer marked the first generation that was named Lancer all over the world.
The ninth generation of the Lancer was available in two body versions: three-box sedan and hatchback. Most of its fame came from the rally world, where the Lancer, along with the Subaru Impreza, were the last two cars that could meet the highest specifications of a Group N rally configuration. Apart from the hi-spec Lancer Evolution, the regular Lancer was available with other smaller, economical, engines.
The exterior look was fresh, with a big, trapezoidal, grille on the front and two angular headlights. The grille was extended into the front bumper. The angular shapes were extended on the bodywork up to the taillights. Depending on the engine and trim level, there were standard 16” steel wheels or 18” light-alloy wheels.
Inside, the dashboard was clean with two-round clusters on the dashboard. Depending on the option, an infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity, a navigation system, and a USB aux was available. The firm, slim, front seats ensured good side support. The flat rear bench was good for two adults, but the transmission tunnel was obstructing the third passenger.
The Lancer was available with various engines starting with a 110 hp 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. Another 1.8-liter was available. Since the European customers asked for diesel engines, Mitsubishi installed a VW-supplied 2.0-liter TDI unit.
