For decades, the Mitsubishi Lancer has been one of Australia’s favourite
small cars. The current series with its stylish design and sporty performance continues the tradition. A revised Lancer
range has just arrived and combines five-star safety, comfort and performance with luxury touches.
MMAL’s CEO, Mutsuhiro Oshikiri, said the Lancer line-up offers attractive price points and improved customer value at
every level; from the entry model ES through to the exciting high-performance Ralliart.
“The Lancer range offers a model to suit every lifestyle and budget giving customers an attractive and affordable
vehicle with high quality safety and a long list of features that suit their needs,” Oshikiri said.
Versatile Range
There is a Lancer to suit every lifestyle, with three specification levels ES, LX and VRX available in both Sedan and
Sportback body types and the high performance Ralliart available in Sedan.
Both the Sportback and Sedan offer four-door, five-seat functionality, with 60/40 split rear seats and ample cargo
capacity.
The Lancer ES and LX variants are powered by Mitsubishi’s 2.0-litre MIVEC four-cylinder engine offering 110kW @
6,000rpm and 197Nm of torque, coupled with either five-speed manual or a CVT with Sport Mode transmission.
The VRX receives the sporty 2.4-litre MIVEC engine, with the choice of five speed manual or a CVT with Sport Mode
transmission with steering wheel paddle shifters. With a power output rating of 125kW @ 6,000rpm with 226Nm of torque,
the Sportback VRX is one of Australia’s most powerful non-turbo hatches.
Stepping up into the Lancer Ralliart you are propelled by an engine developed from the Evolution’s inter-cooled,
turbo-charged 2.0-litre MIVEC engine which delivers exceptional performance. Coupled with Twin Clutch Sport Shift
Transmission with steering wheel paddle shifters it delivers a whopping 177kW @ 6,000rpm and 343Nm of torque.
The Lancer range is available in a stylish colour palette which includes White, Black, Red, Titanium Cool Silver
(except Ralliart), Warm Silver (except Ralliart) and now includes the return of the racy Lightning Blue.
Affordable Safety – five-star ANCAP across the range
The Lancer range comes highly equipped with a long list of advanced safety features as standard.
Housed in Mitsubishi’s innovative Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) body, the super strength cabin offers
outstanding protection in the event of an accident and has been awarded an ANCAP five-star safety rating.
Coupled with a raft of electronic safety features including Active Stability Control, Active Traction Control,
Anti-lock Braking System, Electronic Brake Distribution and Mitsubishi’s Brake Assist technology. Fitted with
three-point seatbelts with reminders, pretentioners and force limiters on the front, child restraint anchorage points and
two ISOFIX child seat anchor points in the rear.
The Lancer range comes with the latest Mitsubishi’s LINK audio systems, offering hands-free Bluetooth connectivity
with voice activation and streaming audio, all with steering wheel audio and phone controls for easier operation and
optimum sound.
The luxurious LX variant gains a 6.1” full-colour touch screen audio system with reversing sensors and rear view
camera, while the sporty VRX and Ralliart benefit from the Mitsubishi Multi Communication System (MMCS) with a 7” screen
and satellite navigation with 3D mapping functionality. All models are equipped with USB and iPod connectivity.

Exhilarating performance - Lancer Ralliart
Combining all the sporty luxury found throughout the Lancer range, with high-performance engine power, the Ralliart
receives the same menacing stance as the Lancer Evolution and displays a physical presence befitting of a powerful,
high performance machine yet at a pocket loving price.
Priced from $39,990*, the Ralliart is driven by innovation, Mitsubishi’s rapid TC-SST inter-cooled, turbo-charged
2.0-litre MIVEC engine, which delivers exceptional performance. Coupled with six-speed Twin Clutch Sport Shift
Transmission with steering wheel paddle shifters it delivers a whopping 177kW @ 6,000rpm and 343Nm of torque.
It embodies Mitsubishi’s sophisticated full-time All Wheel Control System (AWC), proven over generations of rally
development, utilising three independent systems working together to give you superior road handling.
The Active Centre Differential (ACD) determines your optimal torque split between the front and rear axles and works
in three modes – tarmac, gravel and snow – to enable quicker control response for changes in road surfaces. Combined
with the Active Stability Control (ASC) which maintains control when cornering and Mitsubishi’s Sports Anti-lock brakes
(ABS) featuring Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) regulates the braking force to match vehicle load and driving
conditions.
Its exterior stance is accentuated by the 18” alloy wheels, aluminium bonnet with black air vents, colour coded front
and rear ‘Ralliart’ bumpers, front and side air dams and the authority of the black radiator grille with chrome grille
surround and front fog lamps. Mingled with stylish touches such as colour coded door handles, colour coded electric door
mirrors with fold control, a rear sports spoiler and a dual chrome exhaust.
Internally the cabin doesn’t miss out on the Ralliart touches receiving a three-spoke leather wrapped sports steering
wheel with cruise control and remote audio controls, leather wrapped shift knob, alloy pedals, Sport Seats and chrome
inside door handles.
The Ralliart is fully stocked with Mitsubishi’s innovative technology offering automatic rain sensing wipers and
automatic dusk sensing headlamps as well as Mitsubishi Multi Communications System which has a 7” touch screen with
satellite navigation 3D mapping and rear view camera interface.
Mitsubishi’s LINK system’s convenience of hands free Bluetooth® with voice activation and audio streaming, CD player
with MP3 and AM/FM radio, iPod connectivity, USB connectivity is played through the Rockford Fosgate® Premium Audio
System with four speakers, four tweeters and a subwoofer.
It is loaded with convenience elements such as a reversing camera with parking sensors, Hill Start Control, Smart Key
with keyless entry and central door locking, power windows throughout with driver auto up and down, automatic climate
control air conditioning, colour LCD multi-functional display, welcome and coming home light features as well as all the
security you expect with remote central locking, Datadot identification, anti-theft encrypted immobilisation and a
vehicle theft alarm.
Striking an excellent balance between everyday driving confidence and serious sports driving, the Lancer Ralliart is
a vehicle that that embodies driving exhilaration.
