The Mitsubishi Lancer ES has a 4-cylinder aluminum engine DOHC 2.0-liter naturally aspirated. This is capable of producing up to 148 HP (@ 6,000 rpm) and 145 lb-ft (@ 4,200).
The force is transmitted to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission (standard) and is the same as also found in the versions Lancer DE and 2013 GT. On the other hand, we find a continuously variable transmission (CVT) as an option.
As will intuited this is not a very powerful car, but its low weight (less than 3,000 pounds) allows speeding safely. As expected, excellent fuel consumption of 25 miles per gallon in the city and 34 on the highway.
In independent testing models with the base engine able to reach 60 miles per hour in 8.8 seconds with the manual transmission and 9.1 seconds with the CVT automatic.
Outside the 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer maintains a sportier design than any of its competitors, however inside, despite having a fair design, uses materials that reduce their appearance and hospitality.
Our driving impressions were varied, as its good power and maneuverability segment position him well. But on the other hand, the noise generated by the engine and CVT automatic transmission seemed a bit exaggerated.
The base price of 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer DE (Basic) starts at $ 15.995 and more expensive version (Ralliart) for $ 28.095. While the version we tested (ES) starts at $ 17.095, making it an excellent choice for those seeking dynamic appearance, good fuel economy, safety and maneuverability.
