Mitsubishi Sneakily Unveiled Facelifted Lancer at MIAS 2016              

MANILA: Manila International Auto Show 2016 has successfully concluded and while many brands disappointed by not showing up, some were there with a big festive treat for the Filipinos with their big lineup of models. Mitsubishi had also managed to entice the visitors with its fleet of cars including the updated Lancer model which is supposed to be discontinued in a few months.

Mitsubishi is set to continue its significant sales growth in the country and is not leaving any stone unturned and has devoted its entire work staff in the facelift of its to-be-supposed last model of the Mitsubishi Lancer to make the most out of this sedan. The new Lancer facelift has received a redesigned front fascia with its newly redesigned front grille, headlights along with LED DRLs. It has also improvised its stance as the new sedan now sits on new alloy wheels giving it a more dynamic stance.

Aboard the updated Lancer, you will be hit with the aroma of its upgraded interior which gets new leather upholstery along with the redesigned centre console and an additional USB port. An entertainment is further improved by the all-new infotainment system with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and sat-nav.

Talking about its mechanics, there is nothing new in it as the updated Mitsubishi Lancer has retained the same powertrain as the outgoing model. 4B11 2.0-litre engine in the range topping Lancer EX GT-A and 4A92 1.6-litre engine in Lancer EX GLX are rated at the total output of 150 PS/199 Nm and 117 PS/154 Nm respectively which are transferred to the wheels via a CVT and a four-speed automatic transmission.

The new Lancer is definitely going to win the hearts of the Filipinos as the Mitsubishi Philippines has already proven its dynamicity in the Montero Sport and updated Mirage which were also showcased at the MIAS 2016.

Facelifted Lancer EX prices are kept as follows:

Lancer EX GLX 1.6 A/T: PhP 848,000
