We revealed its existence last month, and we now have full details plus live pictures of the new Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 GTE. This is quite significant for long-time Lancer fans, as it offers new features, yet at a lower price than the outgoing Lancer GT.
Let’s get the price out of the way first – this new model goes for RM118,888 (or RM115,590 without insurance), which is a healthy reduction from the RM129,025 (with insurance, RM125,467 without) 2012 Lancer GT. This move draws the CBU Mitsubishi level with the CKD Kia Cerato 2.0.
Despite this RM10,000-odd price cut, the new GTE gains a few additional features over the old model, namely a keyless operation system (with a turn-to-start knob), a sunroof, rear seat ISOFIX anchors and a knee airbag for the driver (making a total of three airbags).
The rest of the vehicle stays as before, so you still get the large 18-inch wheels, all-around bodykit with LED DRLs, rear spoiler and automatic (halogen) headlights and wipers. A reverse camera (through the 6.1-inch touchscreen head unit), magnesium paddle shifters, cruise control, single-zone climate control and Nappa leather upholstery are on the standard kit list too.
No changes to the mechanicals here, of course. Mitsubishi’s trusty 4B11 2.0 litre DOHC MIVEC engine continues on with its 150 PS at 6,000 rpm and 197 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm. As before, an INVECS-III CVT transmission with a six-step sports mode turns the front wheels.
The rest of the spec sheet reads well for driving enthusiasts. Well, better than most C-segment sedans, at least. Hydraulic (as opposed to electric) power steering, four-wheel independent suspension (MacPherson struts up front, multi-link round the back), all-around disc brakes and 215/45 R18 Yokohama Advan tyres are all present.
Also unchanged are the three colour options – White Solid, Black Mica and Red Metallic. Check out the car’s full brochure and price list in the gallery below for more details. So, what do you think of the new Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 GTE, gents? Is it back in the C-segment game?
Oh, and if you want to check the car out, it’ll be at Paradigm Mall this weekend =)
Not bad.. But let potong rebadge it is a bad move since ppl may buy inspira then modify it and the cost still lower than this
Thank me later (^_^).
Next in line is the All New Tikar Terbang Evo. More than 30% reduction from previous gen.
Mitsubshi = meet my pussy
that’s uncalled for and it reflects the lack of education and attitude and maturity in your part.
inspira
I like.
rebadge as inspira sv n sell it at 80k.. :D
i always wonder how much lancer & inspira sold in malaysia. any link i can check?
if Inspira only 18,000 unit sold since 2010..based on my friend’s chassis no bought last week
The Inspira launched in Nov 2010, which is 42 months ago.
So in average, 429 was sold every month, 13 sold in a day.
In contras, Myvi sold 99,000 last year which means 271 cars were sold everyday.
Looks like the saying “A sucker is born every minute” is not true. 271 are born every day.
Sold less=high class.
Just check Benz, BMW and Audi. Bet they sell in two digits or less max per day.
Myvi cheap car for cheap people with no class.
Then Chery from China better lo. THey prolly sell 2 to 5 a MONTH. can sustain?
-Gotta love the Elantra-
gotta hate elantra man..
Haha..absolulety correct..
Dunno why want to compare inspira with maibi haibim..this is absurb..
No Avater=Definitely Imposter and/or hailated kimchi owner
IIRC there were less than 100 Lancer sold per year since the Inspira launched. You should be able to find the numbers on PT.
Nice spec, but, I want a new design! Which can be differentiate between inspira and this..
If I buy this for rm119k, then, some stupid people will say,’hah, convert to lancer meh?..prffttt’
Old newspaper…old newspaper…sau kau poh chee…
Paper lama…paper lama…pee pom pee pom pee pom…
Mitsu trying very very hard to flog a dead horse.
Smart people will go buy inspira and save the money go holiday in europe better.
I bought Inspira, then left over money invest another house. Winrar.
that if you are buying with cash…put it into loan tenure over few years. you can’t get to europe or buy a house.
This is such an awesome car. Its so much better than the Cerato 2.0
Drives better, better engine and lower fuel consumption.
Why would anyone buy a Cerato nowadays is beyond me!
Erm, safety and equipment list? And the looks (subjective)? The Cerato has more creature comforts.
Cerato, bad x3 crash . watch youtube,
creature comfort, yeah2 go buy 1 ya uncle ? ..
anyway cerato steering feels very numb,
The FC for this car is bad
1.4 ton, 2.0cc engine. Why you worry about FC? Go buy VIVA please if you’re worried about FC.
Good price tag, but people would laugh at me for ‘modify this from Inspira’ if I buy this car.
Altis is ugly shitz…in fact, all Japanese cars are fugly except Mazda.
cbu wor….
one of a kind .. 3 airbags !!!!lol
projector headlamp also dont have. ptui.
And anyone in Sibu you can go to Sibu Gateway to check out this car starting today too, in a 4×4 roadshow organized by Mitsubishi. I just did, and it was good value if you don’t mind its age.
While you are there, try to play the Power Up and Win contest too. Who knows you might be the winner of RM1,000!!
Between this, altis civic… and consider the price… Lancer win!
Comparing C segment vs price, P1 Inspira is the winner la..
Preve la….
Preve=Campro
Inspira=Mivec
Mivec winrar anyday.
Civic got vsa for additional active safety..and also eps for better fc
Don’t funny, lancer doesn’t have esp which is very important, I will put lancer at my last on my list.
to be frank, it has a much better spec and cheaper price than the latest altis..
but no thanks. coz i will hate myself so much if i see any inspira passed me when i driving it.. .
HAHAHA ! NO ESP? Goodbye LANCER and GOODBYE MITSHUBISHI FROM MALAYSIA FOREVER !
Would be great if they offer manual trans
Best looking Inspira I’ve seen.
I really hate Mitsu. All these spec should be come during the facelifted. You betrayed lancer owner and still hope for miracle? Sau pei laaaa….
The Lancer is still a great car…even now…but Mitsubishi shot itself in the gut with Inspira…may it live long to regret every minute of it…but if the GTE is still a CBU…it’s a decent buy…just comapare it to any non-P1 or P2 2 litre cars around…
Put in VSC(Vehicle stability control), and rear air bag, with projector headlamp, and manual tranny, it would be perfect tho
Mistubishi lancer EX GT GTE
BETTER THAN KOREAN SHITTY CARS!!!..
THIS CAR BETTER THAN NEW COROLLAGGG CVICIKS CERATOKK VIOSHIT SITI….
nice paddle shift…from gear to audio console too emty like no design n very the plastic-ish…ishhhhh !
Smart guys gets…hmm…those 2013 stock Inspira at a fraction of this GTE price.
looks no different with inspira, who buy who cry. no value at all. Simply a Vios design is much more better than this crab.
Crab?
This car still able to sell kah?
CBU drop price really good and let all others brand do the same…
add fixtures with price drop !!! NICE
OMG wai this car copycat our inspira?
Its loook the same, o wai owai owaiii
So this is the final mekap before they axed this model ey?
if i buy this ill convert is into inspira right way…proud of our local car maker
Such a dated car still wanna introduce a new trim?
*facepalm*
They are good friends with Perodua, always introduce NEW trim for OUTDATED car.
Oh well because of their wrong strategy, guess inspira is gonna haunt The lancer for a very very long time.
The lancer owners and the potential owners are very unforgiving for what they had done. This is what happened when you Insult the lancer(used to be great car) with the inspira crap.
Seriously the marketing guy is an idiot.
With the Inspira running around on our roads, NO ONE will be buying this car.
IF they bring in the EVO….YES!!! That is contender…
mostly rubbish upgrades, i’ll trade all that for the proper Rockford Fosgate audio
Buy inspira, save 30+k. Use 5k to Reno. Use 25k to buy petrol that could bring u 125000km (supposedly rm1 for 5km only)
This is better for those want buy inspira n mod to lancer gt ra etc. Convert inspira to this will caused more time n money. Unless u want convert evo, inspira still value for money.
Pity to prev lancer owner. Kena copycat but still people buy lancer.. Now selling at lower price with more features. Lol.. Mitsu not appreciate their customer..
This Lancer has been around since 2007, NOW it is still around??
This is a 2010 Lancer. Available in Malaysia before to the rest of the world in 2009.
Actually per car.. Mitsu got more money from inspira production because of structural royalties… But a lot of local mitsu dealer bungkus liao…TOYOTA will never bow down like mitsu and chicken honda…
Oi, those DRLs you got from accessory shop izzit?
Impressive specs and price. Too bad the design is already very dated.
body kit camni melambak kt kedai ah beng..rm3k je…jaangan buang duitbeli dis trash..hahaha..stupid mitsubishit
Plonk rm55k for a 2012 Inspira 1.8 4B10 with 5 speed manual and it will still beat this car (and have spare 60k to play around)
kt us lancer ni ade 7 airbags..trction cntrol..
actve stbilty cntrol…jd maknanye…jepun eksport lancer ke us lg fully loaded la…
Its showing its age,spec n design wise….interior looks very boring n simple…even if u r a brand snob…why wdnt u get an inspira so much cheaper,da xtra apecs on dis one is not really ground breaking…and 18′ is an overkill
this car is a better buy compare to Inspira super premium…
Pity mitsu salesman….always insulted by plotong… This car RV DROPPED Immediately after exiting mitsu parking lot… Hailat..
No Avatar=Imposter
Sorry Mitsubishi…I will never buy any car from you again.
I rather overtake by this car.
As long as its not a kimchi, it will have RV
Can they produce a better looking lancer… I believe they cannot… Thats why it is still the same…the good thing for owners are availablity of sparepart… Mitsu-inspira – soulless…. Check out new ALTIS…. So fine… So smooth…
nobody cares about what you believe.
only morons buy cars based on looks.
Checked out the new ALTIS, not impressed. Checked out the new VIOS, barfed.
Comon la comparing potong quality with cbu? U all shiok sendiri?
Just who would be in the right mind to splash 100k + on an outdated car???
The Mitsu salesmen must be on their knees trying to sell the Lancer to their customers….
Outdated in what way? Tech? Kit? Power output?
this design was before 2010, nowadays interior design didn’t so simple like tat..
Why don’t rebadge and cut price for Lancer sportback instead of this? People won’t spend their money buying a old design dude….
They need to clear the old stocks fast cause the new model coming soon
I went there last weekend, and this is my points based on my observation;
Besides below pros and cons, all are the same like previous model.
Pros;
1. Sunroof
2. DRL
3. Keyless and with reverse camera
4. Got all the automatic features like Inspira got
Cons;
1. no projector light, ASX have it
2. interior trim worse, look so plastic, so empty, compared to the old one much better.
3. Knee airbag, wtf?
And worst is their selling point.. “CBU maaa..”
Mitsu, seriously, go home, u drunk!
interior trim is the same la moron. What’s wrong with knee airbag? You’ve never heard of one?
Just think about it. Why this model can be sold cheaper than before with extra features? There is no tax cut announced yet. The only reason: it comes to the end of its selling life. That means a new model may come out soon or later.
Where is digital aircond? Same outdated with nissan silphy which having 10k reduction to clear stock.
good introduction. now im interested with inspira more.
Can I know this Lancer is RWD or FWD???
It’s a FWD
Stop selling this pleaseeee. This should be displayed in a muzium or something. Overpriced tin can. Coca cola can also feels more solid than this lancer door or inspira or whatever shit la this car is called
Soo many hater … go ahead and buy Lancer clone … aka rebadge lancer
When the Lancer was launched, I was about to buy it but than Inspira came out and I completely lost my appetite!!
looks like inspira to me… hahaha! sorry for mitsubishi owners here… pity u la… blame proton la..
Yes, it looked the same as Inspira but it’s a pure Real Lancer CBU directly from Japan.. U can’t compare that with proton..
get a great discount when convert to gte…..jual cincai, tokey happy
can i get a manual car for mitsubishi lancer 2.0 gte..manual transmision
