• On the conveyor: since 2007
• Body: sedan, hatchback
• Russian range of engines: petrol, R4, 1.5 (109 HP), 1.6 (117 HP), 1.8 (143 HP), 2.0 (150 HP)
• Gear boxes: M5, A4, CVT
• Drive unit: front, full
• Restyling: in 2010, the total number of modifications was reduced, but after a couple of years a new 1.6 engine became available and the front bumper, radiator grill, front foglights and rear optics were changed; improved noise insulation, updated dashboard.
• Crash tests: 2009, Euro NCAP; overall assessment- Five stars: adult protection 81%, child protection 80%, pedestrian protection 34%, safety assistants 71%.

All types of motors have a typical attachment belt and roller life of 100,000 km or more, and the engine mounts last much longer than the previous Lancer.

• On versions with a 1.5 engine, an electric power steering is installed, which is built into the steering rack. On machines of the first years of production, very rarely, but system failures did occur. The amplifier either turned off altogether, or worked only when the steering wheel was turned in one direction. Attempts to repair did not bring the desired result and, as a result, it was necessary to replace the steering gear assemblies with used ones. In general, the electric amplifier on the Lancer is not a hassle. Unlike Subaru, Ford and Mazda, Mitsubishi's electrically driven rails are reliable: knocking is not about them.
• On versions with engines 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0, a classic power steering is installed. Sometimes a leak of the return line coming from the rail to the pump floats up: the rubber tubes are frayed at the points of attachment to the steering gear. It is important to replace the power steering fluid in accordance with the regulations - every 90,000 km. By this run, the products of natural wear and tear in the lubricant are already clogging up the filter mesh in the pump reservoir.

• Alas, a good picture with the reliability of both types of rails is spoiled by the low resource of steering rods and tips - on average, a little more than 60,000 km.
• Like its predecessor, the rear silent blocks of the front levers do not differ in enviable resource - they only go 60,000 km. They can be replaced separately, but at about 90,000 km, a ball joint dies, which is only assembled with a lever. Therefore, if the rear silent block breaks, it is more rational to replace the lever assembly.
• The front shock absorbers travel an average of 120,000 km. When replacing them, the thrust bearings are also updated so as not to remove the units once again.
• Front and rear stabilizers- consumables. They are changed every 30,000 km. The front stabilizer struts are also not very tenacious: the resource is about 40,000 km.
• Like its predecessor, the tenth Lancer has to service the brakes every time the pads are changed - to clean the guides in the caliper brackets, lubricate the fingers. This is especially important for the rear brakes. Without prevention, the mechanisms quickly turn sour. The pads stop moving away from the disc, which means that increased wear and tear and overheating, squeaks and others are inevitable. extraneous noise... With a working system, the front pads travel 30,000-50,000 km, and the rear ones - about 90,000 km.
• The rear suspension of the 1.5- and 1.6-liter modifications is deprived of a stabilizer, but it can be retrofitted - the mounting holes are unified.
• In the silent blocks, the camber and toe adjustment bolts quickly turn sour. Alas, there is only one preventive measure - to check and adjust the wheel alignment angles every 60,000 km. If you miss the moment, repairs will cost much more.
• The resource of the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors is at least 100,000 km. Most often, lambda probes fail due to an open circuit in their internal heating circuit. The original sensors are very expensive, so the servicemen use cheaper but decent Denso counterparts.
• To save money, the sintered honeycombs are often punctured at the failed neutralizers, and a blende is installed on the second lambda probe, which monitors the efficiency of the system. This is a small spacer between the sensor and the exhaust gas flow. A kind of small neutralizer with honeycombs is built into it, which successfully simulates the operation of an expensive unit.
• After 100,000 km, the exhaust pipe ring burns out. This is a common sore. The exhaust system immediately raises the voice.

Achilles' heel of the tenth Lancer - variable speed drive... It is only available for versions with 1.8 and 2.0 motors. Even with proper maintenance and operation, the variator lives on average only 150,000 km. A full-fledged and qualified repair implies the obligatory replacement of many expensive parts, and the final restoration price tag reaches 120,000 rubles. Therefore, used CVTs are in great demand on the market. There are enough offers, and the price is tolerable - 60,000 rubles. The Lancer is equipped with a unit from the Japanese company Jatco JF011E. They are equipped with Outlander and many models of the Renault-Nissan concern.

In addition to the negligence of the owners, the life of the whimsical transmission is greatly reduced by the poor location of its cooling radiator. On pre-styling models, it stands under the bumper, practically on the front left wheel fender liner, as a result it quickly becomes overgrown with dirt - and the variator overheats. Therefore, the radiator has to be dismantled and washed before each summer season. There are pitfalls here - the unit is subject to corrosion. Even at the first removal of the hoses from its fittings, there is a high risk of breaking them, and by 120,000 km of run they completely rot away. The new radiator costs 20,000 rubles, so the servicemen picked up an analogue from Kia / Hyundai cars, which is almost three times cheaper.

Surprisingly, when the Lancer was restyled in 2010, the variator cooling radiator was removed altogether - as in the Outlander. The transmission began to overheat even more. Fortunately, the rescue scheme has been worked out: the radiator is placed in the former regular place, using the same Korean counterpart. Or they select a radiator that is suitable in terms of parameters and take it out in front of the main standard ones. In both cases, it will be necessary to replace the casing of the variator heat exchanger with a "pre-reform" one. In its modern design, it has only two outputs for the antifreeze lines circulating through the engine cooling system, and two more are needed for the new oil circuit.

It is very important to change the oil in the variator at least once every 90,000 km - this is in the presence of an oil cooler. If not, the interval should be halved. When replacing, it is advisable to remove the pallet in order to assess the amount of chips (wear products) on its bottom and on special magnets. This allows you to judge the health of the variator and roughly estimate how long it has left to live. They also assess the condition of used CVTs before purchasing them.

Will extend the life of the variator and careful operation. The transmission of this type is especially afraid of shock loads (when the skidding wheels suddenly acquire good grip) and sharp accelerations.

Five-speed manual gearboxes gears are available for all motors, but have design differences depending on the engine family. For engines 4A (1.5 and 1.6), one unit is used, for 4B (1.8 and 2.0) - another. Moreover, both boxes are reliable. But you can kill anything, so negligent owners should note: now the mechanics for Lancer are more expensive than the variator for analysis - 75,000 rubles. The interval for oil change in boxes established by the manufacturer is 105,000 km.

Four-speed classic automatic already overgrown, but unkillable. It is available for motors 1.5 and 1.6. Servicemen could not remember the weak points of this box. It is recommended to change the oil at least once every 90,000 km.

OWNER'S WORD

Maria Mishulina, Mitsubishi Lancer X (2008, 1.8 L, 143 HP, 140,000 km)

I chose Lancer X because of its looks and love for Japanese cars... I have a lot of experience with them, including right-hand drive. I bought the car in 2012 - with a mileage of 98,000 km and after two owners.

Before me the car was operated by my friend, so I was sure that her condition was good.

I was looking for a car with a variator - I like this transmission. In addition, the Lancer of this generation did not have other options combining relatively powerful motor and machine. I know that the CVT is short-lived and expensive to repair, that's why I sold the car when the mileage reached 140,000 km. The transmission worked flawlessly, but I didn't want to risk it.

The car required only routine maintenance with the replacement of consumables. Alas, not without an accident. The damage to the front end was minor, but OE prices were shocking. It is good that on Lancer you can always find parts for good money during disassembly.

Objective cons: mediocre noise insulation, poor quality of interior trim and small trunk... Otherwise, Lancer was fine with me, and I disagree with the conventional wisdom that it is heavily outdated.

SELLER'S WORD

Alexander Bulatov, sales manager of used cars of the company "U Service +"

Lancer X pleases with high liquidity in the secondary market, despite the fact that against the background of more recent competitors, it is morally outdated. Age is clearly visible in the interior: boring design, cheap materials, poor sound insulation. But Lancer still clings with its appearance. All modifications are in good demand. Lancer expects its buyer for a reasonable price for a maximum of a week. The most popular are versions with 1.8 and 2.0 motors and a variator. Of course, the variator requires timely maintenance and competent operation, but it is more comfortable with it in the city.

The downside of high liquidity is the increased attention of hijackers and an abundance of fraudulent sale advertisements. Focus on prices official dealers- so you cut off the potentially dangerous segment of offers.

Overall, Lancer is reliable and interesting car... It is not so difficult to find specimens in good technical condition, even with decent mileage. However, in my opinion, the tenth generation is somewhat overpriced in the aftermarket. You should not consider cars more expensive than 400,000 rubles, because within half a million you can buy cars of a higher class, for example Ford mondeo or Mazda 6.

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 generation, which is now sold by dealers, has lost its former popularity against the background of competitors. Although a couple of years ago, the Mitsubishi Lancer was so popular that it ranked first in thefts in its class. Despite its sporty appearance, which is relevant to this day, in fact, the Lancer 10 is an ordinary city sedan.

Lancer models have been produced in Japan since 1973, having gone through 10 generations and countless restyles. The car is sold under various names in the USA, Latin America, Asia. For each specific automotive market the manufacturer offers its own set of power units and transmissions. In Russia today, buyers are offered a Mitsubishi Lancer X with two gasoline engines with a working volume of 1.6 and 1.8 liters with a capacity of 117 and 140 Horse power respectively. As a transmission, the front-wheel drive sedan Mitsubishi Lancer 10 has both mechanical and automatic gearboxes... We will talk more about the technical characteristics of the car further.

For now, let's speculate about the Lancer's design, which made the car very popular thanks to its aggressive styling. The new body, which was shown in 2011, has become a few centimeters longer, wider and taller. The front end, with its huge vertical grille tilted at a slight angle, is a new milestone in corporate style. Later, a similar thing appeared on the Outlander and more compact ASX. The most interesting thing is that such a design was suitable only for a sedan, an attempt to release a Mitsubishi Lancer in a hatchback body turned out to be a failure.

The similarity of an ordinary car to a charged Evolution modification had a very positive effect on car sales among young people who have no money for a charged version. Moreover, in some versions, the usual Lancer has a trunk spoiler, a plastic body kit, and an underestimated ground clearance with stylish wheels and low profile rubber... We further suggest Lancer exterior photos.

Maximum speed 190 (manual transmission) and 180 (automatic transmission) km / h. As for the average fuel consumption, the manufacturer indicates 6.1 liters for the mechanics and 7.1 for the machine.

More powerful Mitsubishi engine Lancer X with a displacement of 1.8 liters, this is the same inline 4-cylinder, 16-valve gasoline engine with proprietary MIVEC injection. This unit already produces 140 hp. at 178 Nm of torque. Everything is combined with the same 5-speed manual, or continuously variable CVT variator... Dynamic performance with a manual transmission is not much better, so acceleration to a groan occurs in 10 seconds, versus 10.8 seconds. with 1.6 liter engine. However, the maximum speed is already 202 km / h. As for fuel consumption, it is noticeably higher than that of the base engine and amounts to 7.5 liters in the combined cycle. The CVT variator also does not indulge in economy with the 1.8 Lancer engine consumes 7.8 liters in mixed mode, and almost 11 liters in the city. Considering that in practice the consumption will be even higher, then it is worth considering whether you need such a motor under the hood.

By the way, the 10th generation Lancer power units consume only AI-95 gasoline as fuel. Further detailed dimensions Mitsubishi Lancer, clearance, weight, volumes and other useful technical information about the sedan.

Mitsubishi Lancer Video

Video Mitsubishi review Lancer X.

In previous years, the Mitsubishi Lancer sedan was the best-selling car of the Japanese manufacturer on the Russian market. However, today the situation has changed radically. Our fellow citizens are buying sedans less and less and more and more prefer crossovers. Mitsubishi's top-selling model today is Outlander crossover, which was originally created on the platform of the same Lancer.

Very often on the streets of our cities you can find such a car as "Mitsubishi Lancer". The model is very popular not only in Russia, but also in the CIS. The ninth and tenth generations of sedans are especially recognized. The difference between them is big, and many motorists cannot make a choice. But still, most are advised to acquire the tenth generation ("Mitsubishi Lancer X"). Why is this machine relevant and why is it so widespread? We will find out in our today's article.

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is a Japanese C-class car. Serial production of the car began in 2007 and ended in 2015. The manufacturer positions this model as a striking sedan with a memorable appearance.

Design

The exterior of the car really turned out to be bright. And if the "nine" was in many ways boring, then this generation will not leave anyone indifferent. The car looks good primarily due to the shark silhouette and wide radiator grill. In the new generation, the Japanese have reworked almost all body parts. So, the optics, hood, bumper geometry were changed, rear lights and even the side line. "Mitsubishi Lancer 10" is not at all like its predecessor. The car comes with 16-inch spoke wheels as standard. But many do tuning. Mitsubishi Lancer 10 looks great with Evolution wheels, as well as various plastic body kits. And although the car comes from the factory with decorative overlays, the owners additionally glue a "lip" on the bumper (a la budget "Evik"). This gives the car even more aggression and sportiness. Unlike "nine", it is very easy to tune Mitsubishi Lancer 10. On this car it is impossible to go unnoticed. The Japanese created too vivid image.

Distinctive feature tenth generation - high spoiler on the trunk lid. But it is not available in all trim levels. With it, the image of the car is more harmonious and complete. Spoilers from the sports version of Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution are also suitable here.

What do the owners' reviews say about the body and paintwork of the Japanese car "Mitsubishi Lancer 10"? The metal on this sedan is thinner than on the "nine". However, rust does not form for a long time. For five to seven years of operation, barely noticeable "spiders" can slip in the area of ​​the trunk lid. And that's because it is constantly humid in this place. But the paintwork leaves much to be desired. Chips quickly form in the front. Yes, the metal does not rust at the same time. But who needs a car with similar paint flaws? Therefore, it makes sense to "roll up" the car in a transparent armor film, at least from the front. This way you can really preserve the original appearance of the paintwork.

Mitsubishi Lancer 10: dimensions, ground clearance

In terms of dimensions, this sedan does not differ much from the previous generation (it only slightly added in length). So, the body length is 4.5 meters, width - 1.76, height - 1.7 meters. The ground clearance is the same as that of the "nine" - 16.5 centimeters. But the cross-country characteristics of these cars are different. And all because of the low front bumper and plastic door sills. They significantly conceal the ground clearance and reduce the angle of arrival. Therefore, amateurs external tuning you should be careful when buying a "lip" and other body kits. In winter, this bumper will work like a grader. Nevertheless, according to the reviews, the car drives on forest roads without problems.

Interior

If outwardly the car has changed dramatically, then in terms of the interior "Mitsubishi Lancer X" is not far from the previous generation. The architecture of the front panel remains the same, with the exception of the instrument panel. Now it has two hotel wells, between which is located a digital on-board computer. The steering wheel is three-spoke, with a small set of buttons. The grip of the steering wheel is comfortable, there is a gearshift knob and a climate control unit nearby. Ergonomics in the "Lancer" on top. But what has remained the same is the quality of sound insulation. As before, the cabin uses hard, almost oak plastic, and the noise during movement is heard from everywhere.

What problems do owners face when operating a Mitsubishi Lancer 10 car? Reviews note that after 140-150 thousand in the cabin, the contact of the sensor of the airbag system decays. This sensor cannot be repaired. The trouble is also accompanied by the fact that in the event of a malfunction of an element on the instrument panel, a lamp with a corresponding indication lights up (the so-called "pregnant man"). And although the airbag has never fired at this car, the lamp will be on every day.

Trunk

As noted by the reviews of the owners, "Mitsubishi Lancer 10" has a fairly small trunk volume. Compared to the "nine", it has decreased by more than one hundred liters. Thus, the total volume is only 316 liters.

And because of the ill-conceived shape of the trunk on the "Lancer" it is impossible to transport bulky items. But under the floor there is a niche for a 16-inch full-size spare wheel.

Power section

The most popular engines in Russia are 1.6-liter and 1.8-liter units with distributed injection. The power of the first is 117 horsepower. Which has dynamic characteristics given Mitsubishi Lancer 10? Owner reviews say that this motor spins up a little faster than on the "nine". Acceleration to hundreds takes from 10.8 to 14 seconds. Why such a run? It's simple: there are several gearboxes for this motor. It's an old four-speed automatic and five-speed manual. The 1.6-liter version has fuel consumption between 7 and 9 liters in mixed mode.

As for the second motor, it develops 140 horsepower. This unit is equipped with a mechanical box or a variator. "Mitsubishi Lancer 10" with the latest checkpoint is a very rare specimen in Russia. Many people do not recommend taking Lancer on the variator. Reviews say this box is unreliable and expensive to maintain. Even with moderate exploitation, its resource barely reaches 150 thousand kilometers. And the cost of repairs can go up to two thousand dollars. The mechanics are more reliable in this regard. Its resource is even higher than that of the motor itself - over 300 thousand.

In terms of dynamics, the 1.8-liter Lancer shows good results. Acceleration to hundreds takes from 10 to 11.5 seconds. The maximum speed is 202 kilometers per hour. At the same time, the consumption does not differ significantly from the younger version. A car spends 7.5-8 liters of gasoline per hundred.

Mitsubishi Lancer 10: price

Now there are a lot of copies on the secondary market. So, a ten-year version can be purchased for 350-400 thousand rubles. What is the price of a 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer 10? These copies are sold for 550-600 thousand.

Summing up

So, we found out what the tenth generation Mitsubishi Lancer is. The car combines a dynamic image and a reliable power unit. This is a great option for young people and for those who want a bright and inexpensive car to maintain.

The official premiere of the Mitsubishi C-segment sedan represented by the tenth generation Lancer model took place in January 2007 at the international motor show in Detroit. But the history of the model began a little earlier - in 2005, when the Concept-X and Concept-Sportback concept cars debuted at the motor shows in Tokyo and Frankfurt (based on which the car “in the tenth body” was created).

In 2011, "Lancer 10" underwent a small update, as a result of which it received point changes in the exterior and interior, as well as improved sound insulation.

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is endowed with a smart and very good appearance, from whatever angle you look at it. Even at a rather large age, it looks worthy and relevant against the background of newer cars.

The front part of the sedan is made in the corporate style of the Mitsubishi brand called “Jet Fighter” (in the style of fighters), and the open mouth of the radiator grille with chrome edging and predatory narrowed optics add aggression to it (it's a pity that the filling is completely halogen) ...

The dynamic "combat" profile of the Japanese three-volume box is emphasized by a long hood, a strongly inclined front roof pillar and 16-inch "rollers" with 10 spokes (for a fee - 17-inch).

The rear of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 contains lights made in the same style as the headlights and giving it aggression, a somewhat heavy trunk and an expressive bumper.

An additional sportiness can be added to the exterior of the vehicle through the aerodynamic side skirts and a striking rear spoiler, which are available as an optional extra.

The overall dimensions of the body of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 sedan fit into the concept of the C-class: 4570 mm in length, 1505 mm in height, 1760 mm in width. The wheelbase of the car is 2635 mm, and ground clearance- 165 mm. Depending on the modification, the curb weight of the sedan varies from 1265 to 1330 kg.

The interior of the "tenth Lancer" looks modern, but nothing special catches the eye. Wheel with three spokes is unified with other models of the brand, only the necessary minimum of keys was found on it. Looks most stylish dashboard, which is made in the form of two deep "wells" with a color display with a diagonal of 3.5 inches between them, covered from above with a wave-like visor.

The center console is made in a classic style, in terms of design, there are no questions about it. A simple radio tape recorder is integrated into the panel, so you can only replace it with an original one multimedia system... Slightly lower there is an "emergency" button, and even lower - three rotating handles and three control buttons climate control... Everything is simple and well thought out, you literally can't find fault with ergonomics.

The interior of the sedan "Lancer 10" is no different high level execution. Firstly, hard and not very pleasant plastic is completely used, and even in the top-end versions, leather trim is not available, and secondly, everything is not assembled in the best way (you can see the gaps between the parts).

The front seats have a good profile, although they would have liked better support on the sides. The adjustment ranges are sufficient, but no more than that, there is room with a margin in all directions. The rear sofa is comfortable for three, passengers will not feel discomfort in the legs or in width, but the low ceiling will put pressure on the heads of tall people.

The trunk of the Japanese sedan is small by the standards of the "golf" class - only 315 liters of usable volume. Its shape is not the most successful, the opening is narrow, the height is small - in general, large-sized objects will not fit there. Back rear seat folds flat with the floor, providing opportunities for transporting long items. Under the "plywood" floor there was a place for a full-size spare wheel on a stamped disc.

Specifications. For the Mitsubishi Lancer 10, in 2015, two DOHC four-cylinder petrol engines are available, each equipped with MIVEC electronic variable valve timing technology and ECI-Multi multipoint injection.

• The first is a 1.6-liter unit that produces 117 horsepower and 154 Nm of torque (at 4000 rpm). To him in tandem is offered a 5-speed "mechanics" or 4-band "automatic", and all the traction is directed to the front wheels. With such a "heart" under the hood, the sedan accelerates to the first hundred in 10.8-14.1 seconds, reaching a maximum of 180-190 km / h (the best performance in both cases is in the version with manual transmission). Fuel consumption in combined mode varies from 6.1 to 7.1 liters.
• A more powerful 1.8-liter engine generates 140 "horses" and 177 Nm of peak thrust (at 4250 rpm). It is combined either with the same manual transmission, or with a continuously variable CVT variator (only front-wheel drive). With the "mechanics", the 140-horsepower Lancer gains 100 km / h after 10 seconds and top speed 202 km / h, with a consumption of 7.5 liters of gasoline per 100 km in mixed mode. In the case of a variator, acceleration to the first hundred takes 1.4 seconds longer, and the maximum capabilities are lower by 11 km / h (fuel consumption is only 0.3 liters higher).

Previously, there were also available: "sluggish" 1.5-liter 109-horsepower (with "mechanics" it was "nothing", and with "automatic" - just "no" in terms of dynamics); 2.0-liter 150-horsepower power unit and, "hurricane", 2.0-liter turbocharged 241-horsepower engine.

The "tenth" Mitsubishi Lancer is based on the "global" platform Project Global, which was created jointly by Mitsubishi and Daimler-Chrysler engineers during the period of their cooperation. The arsenal of the Japanese sedan includes a standard set modern car: McPherson front with anti-roll bars, rear - independent suspension with a multi-link circuit.
Brakes on the "Lancer" are disc on all wheels, and at the front are also ventilated (front have a diameter of 15 inches, rear - 14 inches). The rack and pinion steering gear is supplemented with a hydraulic booster.

Options and prices. In the Russian market in 2015, the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is offered in four trim levels:

• The basic level of equipment called Inform is offered at a price of 719,000 rubles, and the list of its equipment includes two front airbags, ABS, an on-board computer, power steering, four power windows, a standard audio system with an AUX connector, and steel wheel rims.
• The Invite version is available only with a 117-horsepower engine at a price of 809,990 rubles for a car with "mechanics" or 849,990 rubles with an "automatic". Such a car is supplemented with air conditioning, electric drive and heated exterior mirrors, heated front seats and an armrest between the front seats.
• For Lancer 10 performed by Invite +, they offer the whole range of engines and gearboxes, and they ask for it from 849,990 to 939,990 rubles. The prerogative of this configuration is fog lights, light alloy wheels, leather-clad multi-steering wheel and gearshift lever.
• The top solution Intense will cost from 919,990 to 969,990 rubles (depending on the installed engine-transmission link). In addition to all of the above, such a sedan sports aerodynamic door sills, a trunk spoiler, side airbags and a driver's knee airbag.

By the way - 2015 was the last year for the tenth generation "Lancer" on the Russian market, and in December 2017 its production was discontinued in Japan.

Good afternoon. In today's article I will talk about weak spots Mitsubishi Lancer 10 ( Mitsubishi Lancer X). Let's agree on the shore - the article was written by a reseller, the author does not have a long-term operating experience of exactly 10 lancers, but he owned the ninth lancer for more than 2 years.

Mitsubishi Lancer X debuted back in 2007, and since then, a huge number of Japanese cars have sold around the world, which are now found with enviable regularity in the used car market. The "tenth" Lancer X still looks pretty good. And that is why Lancer X with mileage can easily find new owners. Plays into the hands of the Japanese car and its high reliability. However, absolutely no problem operation of Mitsubishi Lancer X 10 cannot be named.

Body and paintwork problems.

The body metal of the Lancer X is thin enough, but even on the oldest versions of the Japanese car, you will not see rust stains. Unless in the trunk area, several "spiders" can be found. This is due to the fact that moisture enters the trunk through the loose seals of the rear lights.

Well, the classics of the genre are the thresholds:

But the body paintwork of the Lancer X could have been more resistant to external influences. Almost all cars are full of small scratches and chips. Another disadvantage is the soft plastic of the headlights. Over time, it becomes cloudy, which makes the Lancer X a little blind. Fortunately, if you wish, and return them to their former transparency.
Inside, the Mitsubishi Lancer X is not impressive. The interior of the Japanese car is made of frankly cheap hard plastic, which over time begins to creak mercilessly. When buying a car, pay attention to the condition of the armrests. The fabric on them is quickly overwritten, so that by its condition one can indirectly judge the real mileage of the car.

Weaknesses of electrical equipment Lancer 10.

The electrical equipment of the Mitsubishi Lancer X generally works without remarks. Only after 5-6 years of operation can a rather expensive motor of the stove fan make noise. On some vehicles, problems have been reported with electrically heated seats and folding rear-view mirrors. Fortunately, they did not receive mass distribution.

Reliability of engines.

Of all the engines that were installed on a Japanese car, the 1.5-liter gasoline power unit will have to be recognized as the most unsuccessful. The main problem of this power unit is coking piston rings, which leads to increased consumption of engine oil. So after 60 thousand kilometers Mitsubishi owners Lancer X with this engine will have to periodically check the oil level.

The rest of the engines offered for the Lancer X do not suffer from oil gluttony. And if possible, it is better to stop your choice on them. The ideal option for a Japanese car is a 1.8-liter gasoline engine. With proper maintenance, it can easily withstand 250-300 thousand kilometers. A two-liter gasoline power unit has about the same resource. The undoubted advantage of these engines is the fact that their gas distribution mechanism uses a chain that has not required attention for years.

Although it is impossible to do without small problems in this case. Delicate block throttle will have to be cleaned every 30-40 thousand kilometers. After a run of 50-70 thousand kilometers, you will have to pay more and more attention to the condition of the belt of the attachments. Moreover, if something happens, you will have to change not only it, but also the videos. By a run of 100-150 thousand kilometers on the Lancer X, as a rule, the front crankshaft oil seal begins to snot.

Weaknesses in the transmission.

Mechanical box The Getrag F5M gearshift, paired with a 1.5-liter engine, did not perform well. Many owners complained that the clutch in the box had to be changed after 40-50 thousand kilometers. The main shaft bearings were not too tenacious. Mechanical gearbox gear aisin, which was installed on the Lancer X version with two other gasoline engines, is much more reliable. Although in it, after a run of 100 thousand kilometers, the gears begin to shift with little effort. Quite often on the Mitsubishi Lancer X you can find and. It does not cause any particular problems. Only occasionally do owners complain that the variator does not switch transmission modes. This is due to poor contact of the selector. However, it is important to understand that the repair of the variator, if something happens, will cost more than that on the "mechanics". So before buying a car with a variator, it is better to thoroughly diagnose this unit. And already during operation, try not to overheat the transmission and periodically check the cleanliness of its radiator. In addition, every 70-80 thousand in the variator will have to change quite expensive oil. If you follow all these tips, then a continuously variable transmission can withstand 250-300 thousand kilometers. The same resource is possessed by the four-speed "automatic" Jatco, which was installed on the Mitsubishi Lancer X with gasoline engine volume of 1.6 liters.

Suspension reliability.

The suspension of a Japanese car is reliable. But in order to extend its life, try to periodically clean it of sand and salt. It is because of them that the struts and stabilizer bushings begin to creak prematurely. Before restyling, most of the claims of the owners of Lancer X were collected by the front ones, which on some cars could withstand only 30-40 thousand kilometers. After updating the car, this problem was resolved. The resource of the racks has increased several times. The same situation is with wheel bearings... On cars from the first batches, they withstood only 60-80 thousand kilometers, but after a couple of years their resource became noticeably higher.

Steering problems.

We will have to talk about the reliability of the steering of a Japanese car with an eye to this engine that is installed under the hood. On cars with a basic 1.5-liter engine, an electric booster was installed in the steering instead of "hydraulics". It is on these versions steering rack and the traction could start knocking after 40-50 thousand kilometers. However, the owners of used cars are particularly afraid of nothing. Most of the problems appeared during the warranty period, so that on almost all cars the expensive unit was replaced under warranty.

About brakes.

In the braking system of a Japanese car, most of the complaints go to the caliper guide brackets, which begin to annoyingly blur after 40-60 thousand kilometers. Otherwise, there shouldn't be any problems. The replacement intervals for discs and pads on the Lancer X are no different from those on competing vehicles.

Bottom line.

There are weaknesses in the Mitsubishi Lancer X, but in fact there are not so many of them. Most classmates of a Japanese car often bring unpleasant surprises, so you can safely buy a Lancer X. But it is better to refuse the basic versions with a 1.5-liter engine, preferring cars with more powerful power units with a volume of 1.8 and 2 liters.
