Mitsubishi Lancer

Mitsubishi Lancer is a compact car produced from 1973 to 2017. In China and Taiwan, heavily modified Lancer X is available for sale even today; it is called Lancer EX there.
Among Mitsubishi models, Lancer ranked between Mitsubishi Colt and Mitsubishi Galant (until 2012)/Proudia (until 2016).
Until 2000, the subcompact Mitsubishi Mirage was sold under the name Lancer, which ranked below Mitsubishi Carisma.

Now let’s have a look at the Lancer engines, but we will start with 7 generation — the last Mirage sold as Lancer. It is a small car with small inline-4 engines 4G13, 4G15, 4A91, 4G92, and 4G93. The top Lancer 7 used turbocharged 4G93 and the small 1.8-liter V6 — 6A11. Fans of diesel engines were offered the model with the 4D68 engine.
In 2000 production of Lancer generation 8 started, and here are the engines used in it: 4G13, 4G15, 4G18, 4G63, 4G94, 4G93, and turbocharged 4G93. The fastest car was Lancer Ralliart with the 2.4-liter 4G69 under the hood.
From 2007 to 2017, 9 gen was produced, known as Lancer X. All engines were completely updated here. The smallest engine for Lancer X was 1.5-liter 4A91, followed by 1.6-liter 4A92, and those who were not happy with that could buy the 1.8-liter 4B10, the 2.0-liter 4B11, and the 2.4-liter 4B12. One could also purchase the diesel Lancer X with 4N13 or with a VW engine.
On the Lancer platform, the fast AWD Lancer Evolution was developed, which used the turbocharged 4G63T and 4B11T engines. We have already told about these cars HERE.
