Review automotive The 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer gets an unobtrusive visual redesign and some new elements. Shockingly for devotees, the auto's turbocharged Ralliart trim has been scratched off, after the destruction of the elite Lancer Evolution.
Outside, the 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer scores another front belt with a smoother, more durable look, and also new LED running and mist lights. The auto's 16-and 18-inch combination wheels have been updated, and GT models have another chrome beltline accent. Moving inside, the auto's seats have new fabrics, and a reshaped focus reassure new components a USB port.
We're not amazed to see the Ralliart trim vanish. Mitsubishi noticed that the Ralliart was a "low-volume" trim level, however we'll miss the energetic model's 237-hp, 2.0-liter turbo-four motor and a smart six-speed double grasp programmed transmission.
With the Ralliart turbo gone, the two remaining motor decisions are a 148-hp, 2.0-liter inline-four consigned to the base ES model, and a 168-hp, 2.4-liter motor that is discretionary on the ES and standard on all other trim levels. The auto's constantly variable transmission is new and is said to give better fuel-productivity and enhanced speeding up; interestingly, Mitsubishi had as of now introduced a reconsidered CVT in the 2015 Lancer. A five-speed manual transmission stays accessible on the ES and GT trim levels.
Different changes concern the expansion of more advances. The base Lancer ES now highlights programmed atmosphere control, mist lights, a shading trip-PC show, and amalgam wheels as standard; the new $1,700 Sun and Sound bundle (supplanting a year ago's Value bundle) includes a sunroof, a reinforcement camera, and a Rockford Fosgate sound framework with a 6.1-inch show. There are additionally two new trim levels accessible with the Lancer's all-wheel-drive framework, the ES AWC and SEL AWC. A year ago, the Lancer offered AWD just on the SE and Ralliart trim levels.
Valuing for the patched up vehicle has crawled up marginally. The 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer ES is presently estimated from $18,405 with a five-speed manual or $19,405 with the CVT, and $20,805 for the all-wheel-drive model. Estimating tops out at $24,305 for the 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer GT with a CVT.
