Mitsubishi Lancer (2016)
About
The 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer is a stylish and feature-rich sedan that has been introduced in the Indian market through a joint venture with Hindustan Motors. Available in both petrol and diesel variants, the Lancer boasts a spacious interior with a nicely trimmed cabin, including piano black trim that adds a touch of elegance. It comes with a range of features such as climate control, 16-inch alloys, a reversing camera, and simple yet effective steering wheel controls. The car also has a good safety record with a 5-star ANCAP rating and multiple airbags. However, the driving experience is marred by the underwhelming performance of the 2.0-litre MIVEC engine and the CVT transmission, which can be a significant drawback for potential buyers. Despite this, the Lancer remains a viable option for those prioritizing style, comfort, and safety over outright performance.

Our take on this /// Verdict
The 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer, while aesthetically pleasing and well-equipped, falls short in several critical areas. The cars 2.0-litre MIVEC engine, paired with a CVT transmission, is a significant letdown, producing noticeable drone and wheeziness, especially under acceleration. The handling is also subpar, with excessive understeer and a lack of steering feedback, making it less enjoyable to drive, especially on tighter bends. However, the Lancer does offer a spacious and nicely trimmed cabin, good rear legroom, and a 5-star safety rating, which are positive aspects. Overall, its a car that looks great but doesnt quite deliver on the driving experience.
Price
In India, the 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer is priced competitively within the mid-segment sedan market. The ex-showroom prices range from Rs 7.33 lakhs to Rs 8.13 lakhs, depending on the variant. When you factor in on-road costs, which include registration, insurance, and other local taxes, the prices can go up to around Rs 9-10 lakhs. This pricing is competitive with other sedans in its segment, such as the Honda City and Maruti SX4, but the Lancers pricing does not necessarily translate to better value given its performance and handling issues.
Latest Updates
Tuesday, 06 October 2015 05:56 PM
The 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer dropped the turbocharged Ralliart model from its lineup. Instead, the ES model gained the optional 2.4-liter engine and all-wheel drive, providing more power and traction options for buyers. This move reflects Mitsubishis strategy to focus on more practical and feature-rich models. I think this change makes the Lancer more appealing to a broader audience.
Tuesday, 06 October 2015 07:11 PM
Inside the 2016 Lancer, there are new cloth seats and a redesigned center console with a built-in USB port. These interior updates enhance the comfort and convenience of the vehicle. Additionally, the ES and SE models received updated seat fabrics. I believe these small changes can make a big difference in the driving experience.
Tuesday, 06 October 2015 02:33 PM
The 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer features a revised continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) that is promised to reduce noise and offer better drivability. This update is expected to improve fuel economy as well, although exact EPA estimates were not available at the time. I think this is a crucial update to make the Lancer more appealing to buyers who prioritize smooth driving.
Wednesday, 07 October 2015 12:30 AM
Mitsubishi announced that the 2015 model year would be the last for the Lancer Evolution, marking the end of an era for this high-performance variant. The 2015 Lancer Evolution Final Edition was a limited run of 1,600 cars, each featuring a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 303 horsepower. This news marked a significant milestone for enthusiasts of the Evolution series. Im sad to see it go, but its a great way to end on a high note.
Tuesday, 06 October 2015 06:33 AM
The pricing for the 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer saw some changes, with the base price of the ES model increasing by $200 and the GT model being $1,900 higher due to the addition of a standard power sunroof. Despite these increases, the Lancer remains competitively priced in its segment. I think the added features justify the price hike.
Tuesday, 06 October 2015 09:26 AM
In terms of market performance, the 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer faced significant competition from other compact sedans like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. Despite updates, Lancer sales were down from the previous year, highlighting the challenges Mitsubishi faced in this segment. I believe Mitsubishi needs to continue innovating to stay competitive.
Tuesday, 06 October 2015 03:34 PM
The 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer offered improved fuel economy with the revised CVT, with the front-drive ES model achieving 27 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. The all-wheel-drive versions also saw improvements in fuel efficiency. This is a welcome change for buyers looking for better mileage.
Tuesday, 06 October 2015 03:33 PM
Mitsubishi emphasized the value proposition of the 2016 Lancer, highlighting its generous standard features and affordable pricing. The Lancer came with features like Bluetooth, automatic climate control, fog lights, and aluminum wheels, making it a compelling choice for budget-conscious buyers. I think this focus on value is a smart move by Mitsubishi.
Wednesday, 30 September 2015 07:24 PM
The 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer saw the introduction of a new SEL trim level, which slots below the top-of-the-line GT trim. This new trim comes with features like leather seats, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. The SEL also includes all-wheel drive and the 2.4-liter engine. I think this addition helps make the Lancer more competitive in its segment.
Wednesday, 30 September 2015 12:08 PM
Mitsubishi updated the exterior styling of the 2016 Lancer, including a redesigned front fascia with LED daytime running lights, a new chrome beltline trim, and new alloy wheels. These changes aim to give the Lancer a fresher look in a crowded compact sedan market. I believe these updates are a step in the right direction, but the Lancer still faces stiff competition.
Mileage
Friday, 22 November 2024 11:28 AM
The mileage of the 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer in India is reasonable but not outstanding. The manual petrol variant offers a mileage of 13.7 kmpl, while the manual diesel variant provides a slightly better 14.8 kmpl. The automatic petrol variant also manages 13.7 kmpl. These figures are decent for daily driving but may not be the best in its class, which could impact running costs over time.

first of all Its an MITSUBISHI product compare to other car it was more powerful,aggressive looks. when it will be launched?
A beast with that much power. Bt the thing is that it has got no safety or advanced modifications. its a car with power bt might even prove as a monster with no control. who cares for the interiors. Bt i am little disappointed with the technical specifications. n so becoz of it, its not costly. So mixed verdict!
AWESOME CAR. . . . I SIMPLY LOVE THIS CAR A LOT. . .
this car will cost around 10,000 even if it has enging spec as Cheve Cruse.. Bez lancer has same old look.. And only enging is powerful... It does not hav ANY Safety Features and also it does not even hav allows at 10k... Wats wrong Mitsubishi give us sum total package...
It is not possible that i will b launched at this price.. same engine specs are of chevy cruze which costs 15,00,000 /- lancer will b priced @ 12-13 lakhs atleast..
Solid Looks... Awesome Caar... 152bhp for 9.5 Lakhs... No compromise with the displacement... decent torque too.. Toyota Corolla, Skoda Felicia, Hyundai Verna, Honda Civic beware... hope im gonna buy this... come soon new lancer petrol.. Come with the best interiors.. i am waiting for you..
What will the price of both the two variants viz petrol & diesel. Will that be priced around now available lancer
