    Mitsubishi refreshes the Lancer for 2012; Adds a 1.6L version to its line-up
    Words by Leslie Sy
    09 July 2012



    Launched back in 2008, the Mitsubishi Lancer EX was a sporty sedan with a powerful 2.0L engine and lots of space inside. It was and still is the favorite option of many new car buyers because of its aggressive, youthful styling and good handling. Its shortcomings, however, were its high tag price and somewhat poorer fuel economy when compared to other cars in its class.

    But this year, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) is adding new variants to the Lancer EX line-up that answers all its shortcomings, and more.

    The latest additions to the Lancer EX family are the GLX 1.6L M/T and A/T variants, as well as a MX 1.6 A/T, and the top-of-the-line Lancer EX 2.0 GTA. The 2012-edition of the Lancer EX GTA remains mostly unchanged in it's overall specifications.

    Note: the new 2012 MX now has the smaller 1.6L engine. Previously, it had the 2.0L engine.

    yup! OK lang sir. I don't drive fast. Sa NLEX nga 80-90kph lang para makatulog ng maayos ang mga bata.

    plus 1. Now featuring MIVEC technology

    Mitsu's answer to VTEC and VVT-i.

    I just hope that since, VTEC has evolve from base VTEC to VTEC3 to now i-VTEC and Toyota's system has improved to dual VVTi; Mitsubishi would include the MIVEC-MD or even the world's 1st Variable Valve Timing (MIVEC) equipped diesel engine; the 4N13/4N14 engines in our local market. Just hoping :D

    had my 1st up-close and personal encounter w/ the new Lancer (aka 2013 mdl) EX 1.6 GLX M/T on display *sm bacoor. visually appealing talaga, astig. hope this will be a boost for MMPC sales this year and 2013.

    sana magkaroon ng mga detailed reviews na rito. parang gusto ko talaga kumuha neto, pangarap ko na talaga dati yun GTA 2.0. sabi pala ng sales agent, ipe phase out na raw nila yung previous model ng 1.6 glx/gls

    Engine type — DOHC 16v, MIVEC, ECI multiple
    Displacement — 1590 cc
    Bore pitch — ??.? mm
    Bore — 75.0 mm
    Stroke — 90.0 mm
