Mitsubishi Lancer Diesel (2012) Updates

The 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer EX 1.6L variants were introduced with a new 1.6L engine, featuring a DOHC 16v MIVEC system, producing 117 PS at 6000 rpm and 154 N·m of torque at 4000 rpm. This move was seen as a more affordable and fuel-efficient option for buyers.

Mitsubishi refreshed the Lancer for 2012, adding new variants to the lineup, including the GLX 1.6L M/T and A/T, MX 1.6 A/T, and the top-of-the-line Lancer EX 2.0 GTA. These updates aimed to address previous shortcomings such as high pricing and poorer fuel economy.

In other markets, the 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer SE was announced with all-wheel drive, marking the first time this feature was available on a non-performance model. However, this update does not specify the availability of a diesel engine.

There were no specific mentions of a diesel engine for the 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer in the provided sources. The updates primarily focused on petrol engine variants and new features added to the lineup.
