Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia has brought the Lancer 2.0 GT up to speed with some extra fitments: LED daytime-running and position lights, reverse camera and bodykit, while the interior is also treated to Nappa leather seats and premium carpet mats.
The CBU-from-Japan car is powered by a 2.0 litre, 16-valve MIVEC unit that produces 150 PS and 197 Nm of torque. Transmission is a six-stepped INVECS-III CVT with paddle shifts. It is now priced at RM125,468 OTR without insurance.
Other standard equipment includes a 2-DIN Touch Screen Entertainment System, automatic wipers and headlamps, and cruise control. White Solid, Black Mica and Red Metallic remain the standard hues on offer.
The last update was in 2009, when the car received the new front end from the Lancer Sportback. You can read our review of the Sportback in Japan here, and much more on the current-gen Lancer when it was first launched here.
so now someone tell me this…this car CBU from Japan…125k :)
how come HONDA CIVIC assembled msia..60% local content..sells at 137k? :)
so are we really taxed high, or Honda and also Toyota laughing to the bank?
malaysia still has highest tax for car in the world!
NO.. in fact singapore and some country in the europe scandinavia has the highest tax. i bet malaysian car company makan alot.
Agreed bro.
BTW Lancer’s front end with such a fierce look of headlamp and nose is still a class above its competitors.
Have to agree with John. Current price with COE for equivalent should fetch around SGD150K in Singapore!
Sorry, but in Singapore, the car prices is not increased due to tax but of COE (Certificate of Entitlement).
COE is there to control the amount of cars to be put on the road. Imagine if there is no such thing, you wouldn’t be able to move an inch in the morning to work.
singapore has no choice but to tax kaw2 else their roads will be like our notorious federal carpark…ooops federal highway…
Bro Balance, anyhow its still be taxed in Singapore. just diff terms. in malaysia oso becasue of stupid AP system. otherwise, we wil be the one of the cheapest on South East Asia. peace..
People like to blame the government for high taxes but if you really analyse, the tax is hardly 120% in total. The rest, the car company in Malaysia makan.
We should all ask our car companies how much they make per car. And car companies like to blame and say its because the government high tax.
So u reckon i have to bersyukur for “hardly 120 percent in total” car tax?
For example:
Sonata price + tax: RM75K
Sonata price + tax + profit margin: RM140k
Do the math!
If that is true, the profit margin is obscene and disgusting
So SORRY I DISAGREE YOUR COMMENT ACTUALY I WANTED TO CLICK DISLIKE BUT I PRESS THE WRONG ICON.
I guess Lancer permitted Proton to clone it become Inspira so they get lower tax in return.
Easy maaaa. Bcoz Mitsu allow Proton to rebadge Lancer GT. So they get a wee bit tax break la. I help you, you help me back. Hmmm, sounds so familiar. Where have I heard that?
Because it is a FAKE Inshitra.
208 like 0 dislike, is this a record at Paultan blog?
dun forget AP (30-40k sekeping?) is needed for the Lancer GT…whereby Civic doesn’t need
I think Honda and Toyota is laughing their way to the banks because they know Malaysian has a weird kinkiness in us to always purchase Toyota and Honda because of ‘Japanese machine’.
Because, all other cars like KIA and Hyundai also got the same tax, but selling at a lower price with better accessories. So, the only logical explanation is Honda and Toyota is selling their car at the premium price for each segment.
still same nose…
No traction control seems, for 130k, not very worth it IMO.
any car above RM50k price tag without ESP or traction control is rubbish and should not be in the market in the first place..
traction control for front wheel drive 150ps car? ^^
Mahal-nyer..
LOL. inspira can have a new bodykit now
haha..love your statement..
inspira bodykit way better..
you sure? why i see so many inspira owner removed their thundercat logo and put lancer kit? buy proton car dont dare to tell ppl you are driving proton?
i hv more than 5 friends own an inspira but none of them removed the proton logo. i personally think inspira is a better design.
your friend cannot afford the real lancer. and get a copy cat inspira. Now u r telling us that inspira is better design than original lancer ? your eye confirm got problem.
to Caya.. i know you driving myvi la.. dun need to be sarcastic about it..
diam diam la.
Design??? Are you high???
i prefer inspira front face and bumper
I got more that 5 friends too, they got inspira turned lancer, also got friend’s friend’s friend owned inspira turned lancer too…
TO ORANGE .NO MATTER WHAT YOU DONE WITH IT,IN THE END WHEN YOU SHOW THE VEHICLE REGISTRATION STATED THE MAKER OF THE CAR.
i’m not sure they can or cannot afford a lancer but this is true story.. aku tak tipu bro. for me proton untung, mitsu rugi.
so many? are you sure? just see mitsu logos and you already believe it’s an inspira before lol
if you can’t afford a lancer don’t troll inspira, ok?
i love my lancer and can afford it why care about proton. my company car park have few inspira. i can see at least 3 standard car with no thundercat logo at behind. why they removed i dont know. perhaps the owner can tell it here. one extreme modified with black hood evo x kit but rear bumper still using inspira.this is the most easiest part to differentiate between both. and last dont simply say ppl cannot afford it.
of course you don’t care about others because you so jelly lol
3 is many ? i thought 3,000 lol , god luck with your 1:24 lancer die cast model kid
your reply already tell me you still playing with your 1:24 model. want me buy one for your coming xmas present? :)i would call proton and congrat them if they sold 3k units. i feel shame on you because as proton supporter dont even know which proton car can sell best.lol
put your beloved lansi picture here or it didn’t happen!
But, but… my colleague’s car.. never remove thundercat badge.. it fell off after 2 weeks.. hahahaha
I have an Inspira and changed the bodykit because
1. The Lancer bodykit is better liao. The special edition Inspira with so called R3 bodykit also cannot lawan
2. what the f**k you guys talk about affordability? It’s the same freaking car with a different price for crying out loud. And the monthly difference is just around RM200.
Hell, you think people are so retarded to pay more for the same car only for people to say you’re cheap? I’m smart and I don’t really care what you think. I change the bodykit because it’s nice and not because I want to tell people I buy Lancer.
My car maa. Not yours. Why would I want to lie to myself?
ur are great man….
One of the best answer…
Haha..agree bro..they complaint like they pay for the monthly installment..so typical malaysian..
no use getting this anymore, inspira totally destroyed it. ppl will think its just an inspira converted to lancer..
inspira got proton ride and handling, new design of air intake to overcome overheat problem
I’ve driven my Lancer at230kmh but have not got any problem overheating
wow… possible? everything stock?
then you got non-lemon unit lol
haha..i send ticket to u ..pay tomorrow at Bkt Aman !
Beli Inspira lah… more bang for the buck.
Poor man’s lancer.
amoi… its not poor man Lancer.. its a ‘SMART’ guys Lancer… haha
amoi.. inspira is not cheap also 80k+.. so you bash, u cant affort? lol
There you go, 80K is not cheap … in fact it’s freaking expensive to buy a Proton at 80K. How much are they sucking?
who is sucking here? proton or gomen?
Ya, go bang bang la, inspirasi.
no modal for bashing, then change inspira name lol
you are right bro. i own an inspira 1,8 Manual.
I enjoy driving the car. I don’t bother to change mitsubishi logo. Why bother what people say as long as its quality for less money or “more bang for the buck”.
Jo, dia orang tu jelous. Belum mampu pakai Inspira sebab hutang MyVi menggunung lagi kat bank tu.
Lain le mcm aku. Nak RCZ pun bapak aku boleh bagi tapi tak boleh nak weely le!
peugeot rcz?Kan tittle ini ialah Mitsubishi Dan proton,mana dtg Peugeot?Lagi pun Peugeot rcz pun hanya syok exterior tak syok speed pun,beli 219k macam buang dalam sungai..
abang Proton dah balik kampung! :D
wah!!! new INSPIRANAP !!…
Mitsubishi already betrayed its lancer owners once, how many will still be trapped this round?
Nak Tanya…. Inspira 2.0 guna same engine spt Lancer 2.0 GT?
yes… semua samaa except for logo, suspension setting and make ups
inspira 2.0 sama ngan lancer ex je bro
apa beza Lancer ex dgn GT?? ada perbezaan HP ka?
mitsu keluarkan 2 jenis mivec?untuk gt n ex?hahaha
Still an old lady with a new makeup
In b4 Inspira GT.
by focus la… can side parking otomatik wooo…
How about Inokom re-badge (Hyundai) and Naza re-badge (Kia) or Naza re-badge(Peugeot)? Any comment to this?
Dah takde rebadge dah bro. Naza now has the right to assemble but maintaining original company’s logo. I think QC and the whole operation is being oversee by the original company.
I have a 5008, tapi model CBU. Tapi dari segi after sales and service, Peugeot are leap and bounds than it was 3-4 years ago.
hahaha,…might as well get the cheaper inspira, its the same thing actually…only diff is that the other one is cheaper
Totally agree with u! :)
MMM is either brave or stupid. Lancer is gone when you signed on the re-badge.
There is one Malaysian saying, SYIOK SENDIRI, yay!
you’re really ignorant about auto industry, please google around about rebadge
Are you the top management from auto industry? Don’t be childish, this is already a clear corruption.
It is hard to make you understand with you IQ, forget it. You go syok sendiri la.
Rebadge doesn’t mean crony. Your comment reflects you yourself is IQ Zero.
5hp lower than the old version! Paultan please help me ask Malaysia pergi rompak!
It is just a gimmick to physco the malaysian into thinking the Inspira is a worth buy. Podah. Dealer for Mitshibishi is EON (Proton flagship car dealer)which is owned by DRB-Hicom Group (Syed Mokthar), and now also own Proton. BTW, DRB-Hicom also got share in Honda-DRB Plant in Pagoh. Left pocket-right pocket, same-same.
this Syed Mokhtar is a very hardworking, kind n down to earth guy. hope that he will make changes to proton for better.
If you buy this model, u will save your time & money in looking bumpers, steering cover, 18’sport rims, tires, spoiler, side skirt, tweeter and auto flip mirror. Unlike those wannabe Lancer owner.
How abt those lancer owner who wannabe Evo owner?
Ask the Lancer owner got enough budget to convert or not.
yeah how about proton ride and handling? don’t tell me 18″ can beat 16″ tyres, it’s totally blind without looking at many other things
no need, you actually downgrade the superb suspension by proton, have you ever heard about lotus? or you only know lotus mamak restaurant lol
The DRL looks out of place. Same like new Camry’s.
all gadgets are ok inside n only thing missing is TC,ESP,ESC either one of these should have inside,rests are ok
wait for the new focus, it will blow the lancer away
after warranty period, your pocket will blow until berlubang :)
People who afford to own it, the pocket always full and capable to maintain. No need worry so much.
even if the spare parts are affordable, who wants to wait it arrives until months?
better go for inspira.
If I want a Lancer, I would go for Inspira. Felt so stupid paying $$$ while others can just get the same car different badge at much less.
+1.. btw j.p.j kacau evo x bodykit? how about lancer gt bodykit?
better go for inspira. better value for money. this lancer is dead.
I would trade the bodykit and even the reverse camera for a good Rockford Fosgate audio system that is available in Lancer’s sold in Singapore. Why they still don’t wanna include that in the Malaysian market?
Lancer 2.0GT suffers from the “drone noise” from the engine as well……
Kinda strange that since we are talking about NAP lately, but most new cars have their price increases, is it for the cronies to earn quick money?
Peugeot 308, Hyundai Elantra, VW PassatCC/Polo GTi, Lancer GT, etc…
The current greedy wanna grab more, coz after election they will gone… So Babrang Naik lo, correct?
hehe… teringat kisah masa inspira baru keluar dulu…
ada sorang baru beli lancer (beberapa bulan sebelum keluar inspira)…
beberapa minggu lepas inspira keluar… ada sorang datang kat dia tanya…
‘wow.. inspira jenis baru ke nie??’
terus lepas tu jual lancer.. sambar fortuner
nice troll but inspira handles better than lancer
let it be, only noobs did like that
Ya la, better sell his Lancer.
Else will same as those low class inspirasisi, smart guy.
low class comment from low class mentality
citer karut mcm di atas siapa2 pun boleh sembang
fortuner pulak bodoh sakit badan sial, ride mcm sampah
Johnathan, the old lancer GT quoted 155PS and how come this newer version is only 150PS? the torque also detuned to 197Nm from the original 199Nm?
i think its using 4j11 sohc instead of 4b11 dohc engine. lower fuel consumption.
I own Lancer , just because its more expensive than inspira & original . There will be still some ppl who will buy fake LV , GUCCI & PRADA …
as long the driver happy with their choice..
Smartest guys always buy ORIGINAL…
so? tell that to aston martin, peugeot etc which rebadge other brands as well
Have you ever heard the word ‘under licenced’?
E.g. Adidas shoes made in Korea with Adidas Germany’s permission. No pirated issue and the quality is at par.
The concept is the same with rebadge and CKD. No issue of original or fake.
hehe.. inspira tak cantik terutama bahagian depan.. mitsubishila yang ori..
tak cantik pun, buat masalah overheat je
Any idea is it wise to convert inspira to lancer body kit,especially the front bumper and thunder cat logo? Will JPJ and police disturb?
Pls advice ,thank you.
Mitsu already dug its own grave with inspira. Hasta la vista, lancer
betul ke lancer jimat minyak dari mazda3?
no vehicle stability control?
even honda city high spec version have it now…
ppl here still talking about it loooking like inspira.. move on la dei..
why don’t u buy inspira & convert to lancer GT; parts go to chop shop arr… then… taraaa…InspiLancer GT…huhuhuhuhu….
WHY DON’T YOU BUY LANCER AND CONVERT TO INSPIRA???
Approx RM129K OTR, it’s damn expensive just to be original, where the G related/cronies are promoting Inspira. Why car prices keep increasing lately? Who’s earning the quick money now? The new AP King (Muhyiddin) after Rafidah?
anyone can share about fuel consumption for lancer GT,still don know about this..
TO, ABE NIK
I OWN A LANCER GT 2012 .I JUST WANNA TELL YOU THE CAR FUEL CONSUMPTION IS HIGH .I THINK YOU BETTER GO WITH HONDA IF YOU WANT FUEL EFFICIENT.
very nice new seat…wonder to insulate my 1.8M seat like this ! Outside still proud with Tigerbalm
Bought lancer GT in 2009.. Damn frustrated with handling & high speed cruising. Driven my wife sylphy, much way better than this crap!!
I am be proud with the originality of design concept and had their own strongest identity …
After a lot of frustrated Lancer GT owners to Misubishi for letting Proton to rebadge it as Inspira, i cant believe on how MMM still got the nerve offering Lancer sedan in Malaysia market.
Its because lancer sedan GT still get high demanding market here . Mitsu believe inpilala’s not their competitor.
proud owner of GT since 2008, handling & cruising is best so far for me. layan genting sempah or jelapang tunnel in PLUS hiway is superb
best handling? hehehe what a joke.. driving 150-160 start to feel floating + heavy wind noise.. u should drive pug407 then u can feel the real handling.
both cars oso over priced.
boycott both cars….
hahaha u guys are heck of car seller !
Easily, buy any inspira @ lancer and put all logo of brand car to make ppl thinking & pening.
“What type of car is this” hahahaaa….
or buy lancer/Inspira, put toyota logo hohohooo…
Ya ya tampal logo Toyota, Daihatsu. Pahtu letak lampu LED depan, belakang, bawah perut. Lampu merah kat depan, lampu hijau kat belakang, lampu lip-lap kat atas bonet…. macam MyVi engkau tu ya? Mengalahkn khemah sarkis lak.
how long is the waiting period if I buy this car? would like to trade my persona with this car…
77k in Langkawi, lagi murah dari inspira, ok la..
mitsubishi better than proton. itu adalah fakta yang benar..tak rugi beli lancer. ada gaya mutu dan keunggulan. :D
teringin nak beli lancer. insyaAllah tengah kumpul duit ni . :D
Current market, the best is the Peugeot 408 Turbo with 163HP and luxury interior.
the way to identify is it lancer converted from inspira is…look the serial number logo at the windows especially windscreen, because i don’t think people will go change the window simply however haven’t break it.
Proton Inspira name is a mistake in the first place, its ironic as its really in the contrary, no inspiration at all.
They should name it like, example, “all new WIRA” or Proton Wira NEO or somewhere along that name with Wira included
If not proton ….this model selling good !!! thx to proton inspira !!
ThanksThanks
