According to the results of a series of independent crash tests according to Euro NCAP, the Mitsubishi Lancer X was awarded the maximum rating - five out of five possible stars. The sedan showed the following indicators in various categories: driver or adult passenger - 81%, passenger-child - 80%, pedestrian - 34%, safety devices - 71%.

Mitsubishi Lancer X is one of the safest cars in its class and price range. The above are just numerous passive protection systems, but the Japanese sedan is also equipped with a wide range of electronic functions and technologies to help you avoid the very occurrence of an emergency.
Electronic technology
Mitsubishi Lancer X is a purebred Japanese sedan, in whose veins not only gasoline flows, but also the electrical signals of numerous electronic systems implemented on board the car. Modern technology will make the driving experience much safer and more relaxed.
- Anti-lock braking system (ABS) - prevents the wheels from locking when slipping, which allows you to maintain control of the car and avoid skidding

With such a thorough "support", you will always be confident in your car, even on slippery and icy roads.
Some time ago, the new Mitsubishi Lancer 2018 was presented. This is a new generation of an incredibly successful model, which over its long history has become popular all over the world, including in Russia, where the last 10th generation has received particular success. Unfortunately, the new body will initially be delivered exclusively to China, but sooner or later this may change.
Externally, the new 2018-2019 Mitsubishi Lancer began to look completely new. At the same time, the car retained the main thing - its aggression and sportiness.
The front has become completely different. First of all, completely redesigned headlights are striking in the photo. They have become less narrow and evil, now their shape looks more like a rectangle. The filling of the premium optics consists of LED lights. The radiator grill has also completely changed. It stands out due to the chrome-plated cross-stripes. The bonnet is sculpted, as is the entire front end, and there are plenty of sporty curves. The bumper is quite large, has an unusual X-shape. In the lower part, right in the center, there is an air intake in a very coarse diamond-shaped mesh. Round fog lights are installed around the edges. The bottom of the bumper is protected from damage by plastic.
The car looks no less stylish in profile. The area of glass has greatly increased. The door handles were completely redone. The side mirrors have also got a new shape. Turn signal repeaters can be built into them. The wheel arches have grown in size, which is reflected in the larger wheels with a new disc design. At the bottom there is a sports body kit.
The Japanese car began to look fundamentally new from behind. The rear optics has become completely different, which has significantly "grown". The rear bumper has also increased, which has become much larger. In its lower part there are additional brake lights of a rather large size.
Interior
Judging by the photos presented, the interior decoration of the 2018-2019 Mitsubishi Lancer has not become noticeably better compared to the previous model. Simple materials were used for decoration, but one cannot blame them for their low quality. Even ordinary plastic or fabric here is quite pleasant both in appearance and in touch.
The center console is quite modest. There are both classic mechanical controls and buttons, as well as a modern multimedia display, which, albeit small in size, is quite informative.
The steering wheel is very cute, with a lot of buttons for music, phone and cruise control. The dashboard is innovative, all indicators are displayed electronically.
Restyling did not change the dimensions of the car at all, but at the same time there was even more space for passengers in the cabin. Despite this, more than two people are unlikely to be able to accommodate more than two people on the back sofa. The chairs are quite ordinary, but very comfortable at the same time. Outside, depending on the cost, upholstered with either fabric or good leather. There is a very soft material inside. There are heated seats and a wide range of electric adjustment.
Specifications
Analyzing the characteristics that the new model received, it is worth noting that they turned out to be quite good and allow demonstrating solid aerodynamic performance. And both on good roads and off-road. The latter is also provided by a very high quality and reliable suspension, which is logical for a car that has, among other things, a legendary rally past.
There are two power plants. The first received a volume of 1.8 liters and a power of 148 hp. The second unit is even more interesting, with a volume of 2 liters and a capacity of 169 hp. The drive, depending on the customer's choice, can be either full or front-wheel drive. Transmission automatic or manual. Due to the light weight of the car and the clear and quick shifting of the gears, the above indicators are quite enough for dynamic driving.
The big disadvantage is the very small trunk, which has a volume of only 350 liters. It is not possible to increase this number because the rear sofa cannot be folded.
Options and prices
Speaking about the features of the configuration of the car, it is worth noting that it is not bad even in the basic version. First of all, this concerns various options that help in the control process, making it as easy and comfortable as possible. Here are installed: ABS, an electronic emergency braking system, a high-quality navigator, air conditioning, a relatively simple music system, electric adjustment of the front seats, airbags for the driver and passenger, and many different little things. The price translated into Russian currency will be about 1.3 million rubles.
In turn, if you pay about 300 thousand, you can already get heated seats, many different sensors, a full-fledged climate control system, more airbags, an innovative keyless entry system and even a rear-view camera.
Sales start in Russia
According to reports, the car will be sold in the Chinese market and then arrive at Taiwanese car dealerships. There is no exact information when the sedan will start shipping to other countries. At the same time, the approximate release date for the first "gray" models in Russia will take place around mid-2018. It all depends on demand. Carrying out a test drive of the car due to its absence in the official sale will be quite problematic.
Competing models
The main competitor in terms of technical equipment, interior decoration is very popular. However, the 2018 Mitsubishi Lancer has one advantage, due to which it is able to attract more buyers to its side, is the magnetic appearance of a sports car.
The creation of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is a constant improvement and development. The new X was developed in Germany, in Trebur, a design bureau in Frankfurt.

Photo Mitsubishi Lancer 10
The 10th generation of Mitsubishi Lancer was really a breakthrough, because the model has few similarities with previous generations, which is very impressive for motorists.
Built on the basis of a body of increased strength, developed according to a special proprietary technology RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution), Mitsubishi Lancer X has become one of the safest representatives of its class. The car received the maximum rating of 5 stars according to Euro NCAP with the following indicators: driver or adult passenger - 81%; passenger-child - 80%; pedestrian - 34%; security devices - 71%.There is a wide variety of active and passive safety systems on board.
This car was created for those who love cars and the driving process itself. The driver's seat here is thought out so that you can get maximum pleasure. For example, the multifunction steering wheel and gear lever are upholstered in tactile, high-quality genuine leather. By the way, you can change gears both in the classic way and using the paddle shifters in the style of racing supercars. The driver's seat is height-adjustable and heated, just like the front passenger seat.
One way to increase your driving pleasure is to make the car as responsive and controllable as possible. For these purposes, such driver assistance systems are implemented on board as: anti-lock braking system (ABS); electronic brake force distribution (EBD); emergency braking assistance system Brake Assist; system of priority of the brake pedal over the gas pedal in an emergency Brake override system.Thanks to all these technologies, the car perfectly obeys the steering wheel even under difficult external circumstances, such as pouring rain or an icy road.
