Mitsubishi Lancer owner reviews
Generation 7
- Anatoly, Ekaterinoslavl, 1.3 88 l. With. Lancer is a solid and reliable car, I am 100% happy with it. Of course, the car is not new - it was produced in 1998, with a mileage of 120 thousand km. A very comfortable and compact car for the city, family and work. There is plenty of space in the cabin; two adult passengers can comfortably fit in the back. Trunk volume also doesn't look out of line with its competitors. In principle, everything is fine, except that the suspension is a little stiff on our roads. With the 1.3 engine and manual transmission I get within 7-8 liters per 100 km.
- Konstantin, Moscow region, 1.5 94 l. With. The car is just right for my needs, I’m not particularly picky - I needed a good-quality and reliable transport for every day, even if it was well-maintained. Lancer is optimal in terms of price and quality ratio. I have a 94-horsepower version, it consumes about 8-9 liters with a manual transmission.
- Oleg, Nizhny Novgorod, 1.6 175 l. With. I found a 7th generation Mitsubishi Lancer with a turbocharged engine. Excellent acceleration performance, the first hundred is reached in 7-8 seconds. The old Lancer pleasantly surprised me, and besides, the engine allows you to save on gasoline. In the urban cycle I get a maximum of 12 liters, outside the city it turns out to be 8-9 liters per hundred.
- Karina, Simferopol, 1.8 125 l. With. Cool car, suits me in most respects. Gasoline consumption per 100 km is about 10 liters, I fill it with 92nd gasoline.
- Dmitry, Stavropol region, 1.3 75 l. With. I'm happy with the car, I got the Lancer from my father. By the way, he bought it in the early 2000s on the secondary market. At that time, a bunch of junk cars were brought into the country, but you could choose a copy in good condition. Lancer is one of them, with a current mileage of 177 thousand km. I service the car myself, no problems with repairs. Average consumption is 7-8 liters/100 km. I fill up with 92nd gasoline.
Generation 8
- Alexey, Vorkuta, 1.5. I still use Lancer to this day. A simple and unpretentious car for the city, reliable and practically unbreakable. The suspension is stiff, but that's more of a plus. The car is quite satisfactory, just for my needs - it gives pleasure every day. It handles and brakes well, and reliability is still at a high level. Unfortunately, the Lancer is not very practical in terms of practicality. The trunk is not the most voluminous, and the interior is cramped, especially in the back. I have a 1.5 liter version with a manual transmission. The car was produced in 2003, bought in new condition. Average gasoline consumption per 100 km is 8-9 liters, I fill with 92nd grade gasoline.
- Alexey, Nizhny Novgorod, 1.8. The 2004 car is an easy-to-use car, ideal for everyday driving. At first my father drove it, taught me how to drive and proudly handed me the Lancer. Thus, the Mitsubishi Lancer became my first car. Consumes up to 10 liters per 100 km.
- Dmitry, Irkutsk, 1.5. I have a rather rare Mitsubishi Lancer. The eighth-generation car, with all-wheel drive and a 1.5-liter engine. The car has excellent geometric cross-country ability. If there was more ground clearance, it would be a real SUV. A simple and reliable design, there is nothing superfluous in the interior - all the levers work, as do the electronic systems. The Japanese engineers did their best, great respect to them. Lancer consumes 10-11 liters per 100 km. Probably not very low consumption is associated with all-wheel drive.
- Pavel, Kaliningrad, 2.0. I'm happy with the car, I've had a Mitsubishi Lancer since 2005, equipped with front-wheel drive and a manual transmission. Consumes an average of 9-11 liters per hundred. I drive and have no complaints, very comfortable and reliable. I don’t see the point in buying a ten, an eight suits me quite well.
- Nadezhda, Yaroslavl, 1.5. My all-wheel drive Mitsubishi Lancer has driven 100 thousand km, with no serious breakdowns in 13 years of operation. Overall I like the car. Although I admit that the model is already outdated, and something needs to be done with it. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to sell later. A Lancer with a 1.5-liter engine consumes 8-9 liters of 92 gasoline per hundred.
- Konstantin, Moscow region, 2.0. I have a 2005 Lancer, currently the mileage is 110 thousand km. I travel comfortably, my clients are happy. The ideal option for a taxi is reliable and unpretentious. Good dynamics, the two-liter engine pulls with a bang. Consumes an average of 11 liters per 100 km. The engine works with a manual gearbox, which reveals the full potential of the two-liter engine. By the way, the internal combustion engine supports 92-grade gasoline. Well, at least I upload and don't complain.
- Yulia, Magnitogorsk, 1.5. I got the Lancer from my husband, and he himself switched to a new Toyota Corolla. The car is used only for city trips, consumes 8-9 liters per 100 km, works properly, and is serviced only by dealers.
- Denis, Nikolaev, 2.0. The Lancer is worth the money, I bought it on the secondary market with a mileage of 120 thousand km. Version with a two-liter engine, acceleration to hundreds in 10 seconds. Excellent dynamics, decent handling and brakes. The interior is well made, I praise the high quality of assembly and materials. Everything is done simply and tastefully. I installed a 12-speaker audio system, plus two subwoofers in the trunk. I work as a DJ, Lancer and I kind of complement each other. A Lancer with a 2.0 engine consumes 10 liters per 100 km.
Generation 9
With 1.3 engine
- Konstantin, Peter. Lancer serves me faithfully; I bought it in 2005. A solid and reliable workhorse, the best option for working in a taxi. Time-tested design, good adaptability to Russian climatic conditions. But for the sake of fairness, I will note the stiff suspension, which is not suitable for rough roads. But the Lancer practically does not roll. For a taxi, the version with a 1.3-liter engine that supports 92 gasoline was enough for me. Average fuel consumption is 7-8 liters per hundred.
- Alexander, Lipetsk. Mitsubishi Lancer is the best option in terms of family and other needs. In a word, it’s a universal car, and I don’t care how old it is – I bought a 12-year-old copy in 2021, with a mileage of 98 thousand km. Nothing breaks or creaks. Only original spare parts are available. The 1.3-liter engine consumes 7-9 liters per hundred.
- Oleg, Stavropol region. I'm happy with the car, I have a 2006 Lancer with 163 thousand km mileage. A solid and unpretentious car, it consumes from 7 to 8 liters per 100 km, under the hood is a 1.3-liter 82-horsepower engine.
- Dmitry, Orenburg. A cool car, the right car for family, work, outings and other picnics. The car sets up for dynamic driving - the chassis tuning is simply excellent. Alas, the 1.3-liter engine is not able to reveal its potential. I saved money, as they say, and chose the Dishman package itself. Of course I regret it, although I didn’t really want to overpay. The 1.3-liter's main advantage is fuel efficiency at 8 liters per hundred in the urban cycle.
With 1.6 manual transmission engine
- Oleg, Irkutsk. Cool car, I personally like it in all respects. For example, the Lancer has excellent visibility and behavior on the road, a moderately stiff suspension, a very powerful 1.6-liter engine, and a clear manual transmission. Consumption is from 7 to 10 liters depending on the nature of driving.
- Leonid, Bryansk. I have a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer, I have driven 120 thousand km. During this time, the sedan never failed on a long journey. It is serviced at a dealership, since repair roads are relatively inexpensive. In addition, I note that the spare parts are cheap; in extreme cases, you can look for something during disassembly. The selection of spare parts for the Lancer is simply huge - even more than for the tenth Lancer. In 2006 I bought a version with a 1.6-liter engine - the most popular at that time. Decent dynamics, excellent brakes and handling. In the urban cycle, the car consumes 9 liters per 100 km.
- Mikhail, Ekaterinoslavl. I have a Lancer 2005, it is actively used in the family and in business affairs. I’ll admit right away that I bought the car because of its design and good handling. The car does not attract the attention of others, it looks sporty and discreet. I was pleased with the simple, high-quality interior with ideal ergonomics, a standard radio and efficient air conditioning. The 1.6-liter manual version consumes 9 liters per 100 km.
- Yaroslav, Tambov. Cool car, perfect for my needs. I work part-time as a taxi driver, and at the same time I still have time to deliver courier deliveries. In general, my final working day is 15-16 hours. I spend most of this time driving. The seating is comfortable and spacious, the dynamics and handling are excellent. I recommend Lancer to everyone, take it, you won’t regret it. The version with a 1.6 engine and manual transmission consumes 8-9 liters.
- Margarita, Taganrog. I'm happy with the car, I have a 2004 Lancer, I bought it on the secondary market in March 2021. For a month and a half, the sedan has never broken down, although it is not young. The total mileage is now 110 thousand, the flight is normal. A 1.6-liter manual engine consumes no more than 10 liters during vigorous driving.
- Konstantin, St. Petersburg. A decent car, optimal in terms of the ratio of power, reliability and Japanese quality. Lancer is my first used foreign car, I bought it in 2015. Before that I drove a Peugeot 107. The Lancer is more spacious (of course), handles and brakes better. And most importantly, they finally began to respect me on the roads! The 1.6-liter engine works with mechanics and consumes 8-10 liters/100 km.
- Igor, Saratov. Lancer is a good car, time-tested. Satisfies the needs of both mine and my wife. It steers well, and at the same time is very practical in everyday use. The 1.6 engine with manual transmission consumes up to 10 liters per hundred.
- Konstantin, Minsk. I liked the car, I still drive it, and I work part-time as a taxi driver. A powerful 1.6-liter engine accelerates the Lancer to the first hundred in 10 seconds, the manual transmission reveals 100% of the engine’s potential. In general, the dynamics are impressive; a maximum speed of 200 km/h is not a problem. On the highway you can keep within 7-8 liters. A very spacious interior for four, and the interior itself is designed in a sporty style. Good build quality and fit of parts, nothing to complain about. I’m sure that the Lancer will serve me for another 50-70 thousand km, I don’t see any point in selling it.
With engine 1.6 automatic transmission
- Svetlana, Irkutsk. I’m happy with the car; by the way, I have the option with a 1.6-liter 90-horsepower engine. It's enough for me. In addition, I praise the 4-speed automatic - although it is a little old, it works flawlessly and allows the engine to open up to its full potential. As a last resort, it is possible to transfer the box to manual mode, and then it will fly away altogether. In general, I am a dynamic girl, a kind of extrovert, and Lancer and I complement each other. The car consumes up to 10-11 liters per 100 km.
- Vladislav, Stavropol region. The car was purchased in 2005 with a 1.6-liter engine. I was surprised by the smooth and fast operation of the 4-speed automatic, and overall the car feels good and sets me up for fast driving. Consumes up to 10 liters per 100 km.
- Mikhail, Leningrad region. The car is what I need, it satisfies all my driving needs - excellent visibility, good dynamics on the highway, sharp and clear steering responses, moderately stiff suspension and smooth operation of the automatic transmission. The 1.6-liter engine consumes up to 11 liters.
- Alexey, Bryansk. I'm happy with the car, I have the 2006 version, the current mileage is for the car. I was pleasantly impressed with the Mitsubishi Lancer; it is still in excellent condition. I didn’t change anything from components and assemblies, except maybe consumables. Consumption is 10 liters with a 1.6 engine and automatic transmission.
- Konstantin, Moscow region. I got the Lancer in maintained condition - the 2006 version, with an archaic automatic 1.6-liter engine. Initially I consumed an average of 10 liters per hundred, which suits me quite well. The interior is not the most spacious in the class, but I don’t have a family, so I won’t find fault. I bought it purely for my needs, I drive comfortably. Very satisfied. I installed body kits, a spoiler, new seats and improved sound insulation. The dynamics have improved a little, acceleration to hundreds is now in 10 seconds, and this is with the old automatic! Consumption remained the same.
- Anatoly, Lipetsk. Lancer completely suits me, it is very reliable and economical in the city and on long trips. Fuel consumption is 10-11 liters. Under the hood is a 1.6-liter engine operating with an automatic transmission.
With 2.0 engine
- Alexander, Sverdlovsk. My Mitsubishi Lancer has traveled 160 thousand km, during which time there have been no major breakdowns. The secret to the reliability of my car is timely maintenance, and only from a branded service using original spare parts. No artisanal methods or other collective farm stuff, this is not a VAZ Shah. I have a two-liter version with an automatic transmission, a powerful and dynamic car for the city and sprinting at traffic lights. Consumes 10-12 liters depending on the nature of the ride.
- Boris, Sakhalin region. I liked the car, huge respect to Lancer for its excellent acceleration and handling. The two-liter engine and manual transmission are an excellent tandem; my sedan is still quite capable of giving a head start to more modern competitors. Acceleration to hundreds in 10 seconds, top speed 220 km/h. Average consumption is only 10 liters.
- Elizaveta, Ekaterinburg. An excellent car for the city and long trips, a workhorse that is needed. I've been driving taxis with Lancer for over 5 years now, and the clients are happy. With the 2.0 engine and automatic transmission I get 11 liters per 100 km.
- Alexey, Almaty. My Lancer with a two-liter engine drove 170 thousand km, and never broke down majorly. It consumes 10-11 liters, I fill it with 95-grade gasoline.
- Maxim, St. Petersburg. I have had Lancer since 2007. It has a simple and unpretentious design, studied to its core. The design of the model, of course, no longer evokes any emotions; from now on the car is associated with classic sedans of the early 2000s, which are easy to tune. But I have a completely original car, with a factory 2-liter engine. It definitely doesn’t need tuning, since the engine confidently pulls at all speeds - it reveals itself both in the low and red zones of the tachometer. Consumes from 10 to 12 liters per 100 km.
Generation 10
With 1.5 engine
- Konstantin, Moscow. I bought a Lancer in 2007 with a 1.5-liter engine. Basic equipment, there are only mechanics and air conditioning, and essentially nothing else. I decided to save money, but then I discovered many shortcomings in this version. Everything is excellent with reliability, but the acceleration capabilities and behavior on the road are not impressive. A 100-horsepower engine, unfortunately, is not enough for the lightest car. In addition, the Lancer doesn’t care about aerodynamics. The Lancer is noisy, the gearbox works well, but this is not enough. There is no point in turning the engine to the red zone, because of this the consumption may increase. For example, I drive mainly at medium speeds, I get 10 liters around the city.
- Dmitry, Nizhny Novgorod region. I have nothing to praise Lancer for. I made the purchase in 2007 and was really looking forward to this car. But then I was disappointed, drove it for six months and exchanged it for a more powerful version with a 2.0 engine. The 1.5-liter was no good at all, and it consumed too much gasoline - at least 10 liters per hundred.
- Maxim, Ekaterinoslavl. I didn't like the car. Well, nothing caught my attention, and that’s all. Sold it after two years of use. The cabin is very noisy at high speeds, there are vibrations all around, a hard and rattling suspension, etc. There are no complaints about reliability, but this is not enough for a car of this level. Consumption in the city is 10 liters.
- Mikhail, Orenburg. The car did not suit me according to any of the stated parameters. I will never buy into marketing and low prices again. The 1.5-liter is still a vegetable, it is not worthy for a seemingly good car. Due to the sluggish dynamics, you have to rev until the red zone, and then the consumption rises to 11 l/100 km. Sold it after a year of use.
- Alexey, St. Petersburg. I'll give Lancer a below average rating. But despite the weak 1.5-liter engine, the car turned out to be quite successful. Yes, there is discomfort. Yes, there is a hard and rattling suspension, noise in the cabin, vibrations all around, etc. But the high reliability of the car outweighs all the shortcomings. For 170 thousand mileage, not a single serious breakdown, I’m not going to sell it.
- Irina, Ekaterinoslavl. A good and reliable car for every day. She sat down and went, as they say. The 1.5-liter engine makes for a quiet ride, which is enough for me. Consumption 10 liters.
- Margarita, Arkhangelsk. Cool car, reliable and economical. I have a basic 1.5-liter manual version, it consumes 9-10 liters.
- Natalya, Ryazan. I liked the car, it’s inexpensive and practical to use, it’s equipped with a 1.5-liter engine with a manual transmission. In the city I use 10 liters, outside the city - 8 liters.
- Oleg, Krasnoyarsk. I have owned a Mitsubishi Lancer since 2007, and have driven 150 thousand km in ten years. The car is reliable, Japanese technology of the highest quality. In this regard, I can give it an A plus. The rest is a complete failure, I really didn’t expect it from such a noble car. The steering wheel is clumsy, there are vibrations all around in the cabin and there is too much noise. There is no point in revving a 1.5-liter engine to high speeds. But I somehow came to terms with the fact that the main thing for me is reliability. Average consumption is 8-10 liters.
- Oleg, Nizhny Novgorod. I purchased a Lancer with a 1.5-liter engine and a manual transmission. The car is not for fast driving, although the sporty design suggests otherwise. All the same, the Japanese were in vain to release the Lancer with such an engine, which spoils the overall impression of a good car. In the urban cycle, consumption is at the level of 10 liters, the manual transmission works well.
With 1.6 engine
- Yaroslav, Tambov. Overall I'm happy with the car. Not the best car, but ideal in terms of endurance and adaptability to Russian conditions. The 1.6-liter engine could be more powerful, accelerating to hundreds in 12 seconds at a stretch. The mechanics work well, but do not save the situation. Average consumption is 10 liters per 100 km. The interior is spacious, the materials and plastics are made of high quality, everything looks stylish and well made, I can’t complain.
- Alexey, Nizhny Novgorod. I bought a Lancer in 2008 with a 1.6-liter engine. Looking at the large rear of the car, at first I thought that the Lancer had a huge trunk compared to its competitors. But in fact it turned out that it was even smaller than in its predecessor. Its volume is only 325 liters - a miserable result, and a big minus for this. I would not have bought it if my wife had not insisted. She just liked the car in all respects. Consumption 10 liters per 100 km.
- Igor, Rostov. I am a big fan of the Mitsubishi Lancer family of cars, I once had a seventh generation Lancer, and since then I have not missed a single generation, so I have something to compare with. I have the tenth Lancer with a 1.6-liter engine and manual transmission, it consumes 10 liters per 100 km. The dynamics are enough for the city, but not for the highway. In this regard, the previous Lancer was preferable.
- Yaroslav, Nizhny Novgorod region. Overall I liked the car, it is equipped with a 1.6-liter engine and manual transmission, the average gasoline consumption per 100 km is 9-10 liters, I fill it with AI-95. Comfortable, reliable and inexpensive transport for the city.
- Mikhail, Taganrog. Overall I’m happy with the car, if only it had a more powerful engine and everything would be perfect. I installed a new Shumka and now the cabin is quiet. I somehow came to terms with the stiff suspension. Handling is good, as are the brakes. The 1.6-liter engine consumes 10 liters per 100 km.
- Pavel, Moscow region. Lancer 10 did not surprise me at all, the car is like a car. Not the fastest, but inexpensive to maintain. In addition, it does not require frequent visits to the service. With a 1.6 engine and manual transmission I fit in 9-10 liters.
- Vasily, Petrozavodsk. Lancer 10 is an ideal car in terms of cost and quality. I wanted a bigger car for less money. I think I made the right choice. Lancer has a lot of disadvantages, but there are many more advantages. For example, this is great handling. The 1.6-liter consumes 9-10 liters during vigorous driving.
- Nikolay, Tula region. I liked the car, I praise the car for its reliability and inexpensive spare parts. Stiff suspension, noisy interior - it will need to be improved. In the city I fit in 10 liters with a 1.6 engine.
- Vladislav, Bryansk. I only praise the Lancer 10 for its stylish appearance. With its compact size, the Lancer looks larger than it actually is. The car is already outdated, and this must be admitted. I drove 130 thousand km, and during this time the Lancer convinced me even more of its Japanese quality. And the noisy interior, hard suspension, vibrations, etc. are all nitpicking. Consumption is 10 liters per hundred.
- Nikolay, Yaroslavl. I got the 10th generation Mitsubishi Lancer from my relatives. I would never buy a new one like this. And if for free, then of course with pleasure. A small trunk, a stiff suspension, a modest 1.6-liter engine and poor rear visibility - there are plenty of disadvantages. But reliability is at its best, and that decides everything. Consumption in the city is 10 liters.
With 1.8 engine
- Lyudmila, Pyatigorsk. I have a Lancer 10 with a 1.8-liter engine. The car has good dynamics, the 140-horsepower engine is fully developed. In addition, a clear manual transmission also contributes to acceleration. The car consumes 10 liters in the urban cycle, outside the city I use 7-8 liters. With vigorous driving, you can keep within 11 liters. When driving at high speeds, consumption reaches up to 12 liters per 100 km. Acceleration to hundreds takes only 10 seconds, this is an excellent indicator compared to competitors.
- Maxim, Magnitogorsk. Cool car with a great name. I recognize Lancer, the car is many times better than its predecessor. A dynamic and moderately comfortable car, as far as possible for a sports “lighter”. Handling is beyond praise; the Lancer steers confidently even on a winding road. Exchange rate stability is also at the highest level. The car seems to give me a second youth, and I feel 20 years younger. With the 1.8 engine and manual transmission I get around 10-11 liters per 100 km.
- Nikolay, Kaliningrad. Decent car, worth the money spent. I didn’t regret a penny that I overpaid for the more top-end 1.8-liter version. I needed dynamics and good handling, and comfort is a secondary thing for me. In the city, consumption is 10-11 liters.
- Mikhail, Moscow. Mitsubishi Lancer, one of the most affordable sports cars, took the 1.8-liter manual version. I'm happy with the purchase, 100% satisfied. Consumes no more than 11-12 liters per hundred.
- Karina, Simferopol. The car is what you need, ideal for city trips. It handles well and barely rolls; I also praise the well-tuned brakes. A 1.8 liter engine with manual transmission consumes from 10 to 11 liters.
- Pavel, Stavropol region. A cool car for every day, I get a storm of emotions from driving this car. The Lancer is not very good at practicality, but the dynamics and handling are at a decent level. The 1.8-liter engine consumes up to 12 l/100 km if you drive at consistently high speeds.

How much does the most common version of Lancer “eat”?
This car model, especially in the 1.6 liter engine version, is one of the quite common ones on domestic roads. But, let us immediately note that the machine is considered to be quite picky about the quality of fuel. To increase the service life of the engine, you should fill it with proven gasoline. By the way, this also affects the Lancer’s fuel consumption per 100 km. Drivers who previously refueled exclusively with grade 98 often later complained of symptoms of engine overheating.
If the engine itself is functioning properly, then the consumption rate remains within the factory recommended values. However, it’s not in vain that we decided to write today’s review. In practice, even owners of such low-power engines experience high consumption, sometimes reaching 15 liters for every 100 kilometers traveled. One of the main factors may be a faulty catalyst. It is unlikely that it will help to remove the old faulty part, but rather you will have to purchase a new one to replace it. Due to deposits, the catalyst fails - this is the quality of domestic gasoline. And along with it, you will have to replace the spark plugs along the way.
So, what do we have when we want to know how much our beloved Lancer eats? First, we turn to the instruction manual and see the data specified by the manufacturer. We see that consumption in the urban cycle should be kept at around 10.6 liters, in highway mode it should not exceed 6.6 liters, and in mixed driving style it should be exactly 8 liters. Real data suggests that at least 1–1.5 liters should be added to these numbers.

Mitsubishi Pajero 3.0
The three-liter gasoline engine with a 3-liter carburetor in the Pajero engine line was replaced in 1991 with a new, injection V6 engine. Its power is 175 horsepower. In the third generation, the engine did not undergo significant changes; the engine could still boast the same power. The developers worked hard on the efficiency of the power unit until the advent of the fourth generation of the car. The Pajero’s 3-liter “heart” is paired with a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed automatic. Official gasoline consumption: 14 liters per 100 km in the city and 10 liters on the highway.
- Gennady, Tyumen. When driving the 1st generation Mitsubishi Pajero, it is important to listen to the operation of the 3-liter engine. I have a car with a manual transmission and the consumption is quite decent - 14 liters in the city in the summer and 15-16 liters in the winter. The main thing is that if any extraneous sounds occur in the engine compartment, immediately go for diagnostics.
- Sergey, Lipetsk. Mitsubishi Pajero is an excellent SUV, a family car and just a reliable friend. I have been driving an all-wheel drive version with a 3-liter engine and a manual transmission since 1993. During this time, the thought of changing a car came to my mind several times, but the cross-country ability and reliability of the SUV held me back every time. And the car’s “appetite” is adequate: 14 liters on average in the city, sometimes 15 liters slip, but in general everything is within normal limits.
- Peter, Moscow. Since 2003, I have been driving a third generation Pajero with a three-liter engine. I have always dreamed of a durable, reliable car. With a Japanese SUV, my dream came true. Fuel consumption is also pleasing: filling 15-16 liters for every 100 km is not a problem for me personally.
- Mikhail, Voronezh. I recently read on a forum that the 3-liter engine in a fourth-generation car is a complete misunderstanding. I fundamentally disagree with this, yes, there are more powerful engines on the Pajero, but this particular power unit ideally combines economy and dynamics. What else is needed? For a 2-ton colossus, consumption of 15-16 liters in the city is mere nonsense. Look at the consumption of Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and compare.
A 3.0-liter gasoline engine in most cases meets fuel consumption standards, but in some cases an overconsumption of 1-2 liters has also been observed. This engine is very popular due to its dynamic characteristics: maximum speed of 180 km/h with 175 hp.
Mitsubishi Pajero dates back to back in 1981. It was this year that Japanese engineers presented a new SUV at the Tokyo Motor Show. Today this car has become truly unique. Mitsubishi Pajero quietly travels through the Arctic ice and the deserts of Africa. The model became the gold medalist of cross-country racing at the Dakar Rally twelve times. What other car can boast of such achievements? That is why interest in this car among car enthusiasts around the world is becoming stronger every year.
During the existence of the first generation, the model remained virtually unchanged. The stylish radiator grille and angular shapes directly spoke about the character of the car - high cross-country ability and nothing superfluous. Only in 1991, the manufacturer decided to carry out the first global modernization: it was decided to update the line of power units and add a third row of seats for the 5-door modification.
However, a real revolution in appearance occurred during the appearance of the third generation of the car. Japanese engineers equipped their creation with an independent spring suspension and a rack and pinion steering mechanism. Since 2006, there has been an active debate on the Internet: is the fourth generation of Pajero released this year something new, or a well-disguised previous third generation? The debate is not unfounded - outwardly, the 3rd and 4th generations are very similar. But they argue not only about the appearance of the car, but also about the fuel consumption of the Mitsubishi Pajero per 100 km.

What kind of gasoline is best to refuel Mitsubishi Lancer 10
In the manual, the automaker indicates gasoline with an octane number of 95 as the recommended fuel. At the same time, for 2.0 and 2.4 liter engines, due to the lower compression ratio, the use of AI-92 is allowed.
According to surveys of Lancer X drivers, they most often have to fill the tank with AI-95. There is also a large percentage of those who believe that ninety-five gasoline has too many additives. Therefore, they prefer AI-92. A small percentage of car owners drive gas and 98.
It is undesirable to pour AI-98 due to the risk of valve burnout. It is better to use it only when the engine is forced. AI-92 can cause detonation. The electronics will detect it and try to eliminate it by adjusting the ignition timing. This will reduce dynamic performance and efficiency, which will have a negative impact on fuel consumption.
Actions that a car owner should take if fuel consumption has increased on his Lancer 10
If fuel consumption has increased, the first thing you should pay attention to is driving style and weather conditions. If one of these components has changed, then increased consumption is natural
Difficult road conditions lead to the fact that the gasoline level goes down according to the indicator.
Otherwise, you should look at the on-board computer. The presence of errors may indicate the need to check whether the consumables were changed during the process. In case of timely maintenance, a complete diagnosis of the car will be required.
For 40 years now, the Japanese company Mitsubishi has been producing the Mitsubishi Lancer evolution 9. The first production of the car took place in 1973 and was conceived as a mass model. In different countries, during this time, the car was called differently: Mitsubishi Libero and Galant Fortis and Eagle Summit, etc. Naturally, since then there have been many releases of different generations, but we will focus on the currently popular Mitsubishi Lancer 9th generation. The first cars of this generation began to be sold in Japan in 2000 under the name Cedia and were offered in two body versions - sedan and station wagon. In 2003, the restyled Lancer 9 appeared on European markets, also in sedan and station wagon body styles, but in a more aggressive form, it had a different front design: double radiator trim, length 4535 mm and width 1715 mm (excluding side mirrors) .
Dimensions of Mitsubishi Lancer 9:

Compared with its predecessor, the height of the Lancer 9 sedan has increased by 50 mm and is now 1445 mm, the width has increased to 1715 mm. Legroom for passengers has also increased by 60 mm. Mitsubishi Lancer station wagon dimensions: height – 1450, length – 4485, width 1695. In both the sedan and station wagon, the ground clearance of the Mitsubishi Lancer 9 is 165 mm, the wheelbase is 2600 mm.

Engine life and typical problems that arise during operation
The most problematic is the 1.5 liter engine. the failure of the design led to the fact that the engine loses compression already at 50-60 thousand on the odometer. This is due to the occurrence of the piston rings. To eliminate the malfunction, diagnostics, decarbonization, and in some cases a complete overhaul of the engine will be required.
Quite often, the 1.5 liter engine frightens the car owner with the Check engine indication. The check light is on not so much because of problems with the motor, but because of errors in the firmware. Updating the ECU software solves this problem. The electrical circuit also sometimes malfunctions.
The lowest-power motor is the most sensitive to the quality of the lubricant. Even if all oil change schedules are observed, the internal combustion engine repair will occur after a mileage of 120 to 150 thousand km. The resource of the power plant is extremely small. With a mileage of more than 80 thousand km, extraneous noise is observed. In addition to the fact that the engine runs loudly, it also revs frequently. The powerplant was so unsuccessful that Mitsubishi Group had to discontinue it.
The 1.6 liter power unit begins to consume oil after 100,000 km. The oil level ranges from 100 to 300 grams per 1000 km. The engine lasts about 200 thousand km, after which a major overhaul is required.
The 1.8 engine does not have hydraulic pushers. After 120 thousand km, problems begin with adjusting the valve clearances.
The 1.8 power plant has the longest service life among the entire line of engines. A rebuild may be required if the mileage is more than 300 thousand on the odometer.
The main malfunction of a two-liter engine is the clogging of the catalyst. To fix the problem you will need to install a special insert. The spider not only replaces the standard catalyst, but also reduces the swirl of exhaust gases. The service life of the 2.0 engine is about 250-280 thousand km.

Mitsubishi Lancer 9 fuel consumption
Mitsubishi Lancer 9. Increased fuel consumption
Reasons for high fuel consumption
There are several common mistakes that inexperienced drivers make that lead to excessive fuel consumption. Remember that excess gasoline or diesel fuel will be consumed when:
The operation of the air conditioner or climate control system. The operation of these devices is related to the operation of the compressor. After all, to rotate the pump pulley, energy is required, which is taken from the rotating crankshaft. And it requires additional fuel. The operation of the heating system. This applies not only to the operation of the “stove”, but also to heated seats, windows and mirrors (in cars where these options are provided). The logic here is similar to the situation described above. Sharp acceleration. If you like to pull away quickly at traffic lights or other places, then be prepared for the fact that your car will consume more fuel than usual. This is due to the fact that any transient process (in this case, setting the machine in motion) is associated with increased energy consumption. And the sharper it is, the more energy is needed. Therefore, try to move off smoothly. This way you will not only save fuel, but also save tires, clutch and power unit components. Engine running at high speeds. Try not to over-gas. This will not only save fuel for your car, but will also have a positive effect on the overall performance of the engine. Using low-quality fuel. Try to refuel at trusted gas stations and fill the tank with the brand of fuel recommended by the car manufacturer. After all, bad fuel burns worse, provides insufficient energy and requires additional energy consumption.
Technical reasons for increased fuel consumption
First, let's look at the technical problems that contribute to increased gas mileage in a car. Let's find out the most common reasons related to the engine and other elements that increase consumption.
Usually occurs due to high mileage of the car or due to improper use. Some points related to engine operation:
- coolant (coolant) temperature is lower than calculated; - wear of the cylinder-piston group; - wear of the crank mechanism; - wear of the gas distribution mechanism and unadjusted valve clearances.
When the driver needs to keep high revs in order to get off the road and switch to a higher gear, this directly affects fuel consumption. In this case, replacing the clutch will help.
One of the reasons for increased fuel consumption is clutch disc wear. The situation here is quite simple. During the starting process, the engine consumes more fuel than at constant speed. This fact is present even with a working clutch. If the disk or other parts of the system are faulty, then it turns out that fuel is consumed, and the car stands still. The more often the car starts moving, the greater the excess fuel consumption occurs.

Lancer history
Pioneer
One of the most famous, successful and sought-after Mitsubishi series is Lancer. The first swallow of the line - the A70 model - saw the world at the end of winter 1973. It was produced in the following body styles:
- sedan with 2 doors;
- sedan with 4 doors;
- station wagon with 5 doors.
The engine size also varied (the larger the volume, the greater the fuel consumption):
- 1.2 liters;
- 1.4 liters;
- 1.6 liters.
Generation number two
In 1979, a new Lancer series appeared - EX. At first it was equipped with engines that could have three displacement options:
- 1.4 l (power - 80 horsepower);
- 1.6 l (85 horsepower);
- 1.6 l (100 horsepower).
But, a year later, another Lancer model appeared in the lineup with a more powerful engine - 1.8 liters. In addition, sports cars with other engines were produced.
In terms of fuel consumption, even the second generation Mitsubishi Lancer was very economical. The fuel consumption test, which passenger cars underwent in ten modes, showed fuel consumption of only 4.5 liters per 100 kilometers
. Well, if the Lancer owner drove mainly at a speed of 60 km per hour, then the fuel consumption was 3.12 liters per 100 km.
Third knee
The car of the third “level” appeared in 1982 and was called Lancer Fiore, had two body options:
- hatchback (since 1982);
- station wagon (since 1985).
Such Lancers were produced until 2008. A feature of this line was that the cars began to be equipped with turbocharging, as well as an injector. Like the previous ones, they were equipped with engines of different sizes, on which fuel consumption depended:
- 1.3 l;
- 1.5 l;
- 1.8 l.
Fourth generation
From 1982 to 1988, the fourth “circle” was updated. Externally, these cars began to be distinguished by the presence of diagonal lights. Engine modifications were as follows:
- sedan, 1.5 l;
- sedan, 1.6 l,
- sedan, 1.8 l;
- sedan diesel;
- station wagon, 1.8 l.
Attempt number five
Already in 1983, a new Lancer model appeared. Outwardly, she became much more interesting than her predecessors and almost immediately gained enormous popularity. The car was produced in four body styles:
- sedan;
- hatchback;
- station wagon;
- coupe.
Also, the future owner could choose the desired engine size:
- 1.3 l;
- 1.5 l;
- 1.6 l;
- 1.8 l;
- 2.0 l.
The gearbox could be 4 or 5 speed. Also, some models were produced with a three-speed automatic transmission, which greatly simplified driving.

Mitsubishi Pajero 3.5
The top versions of the SUV were equipped with a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 DGI engine. This gasoline engine was also equipped with a new transmission - the INVECS II adaptive automatic gearbox with the ability to manually change gears. All these innovations allowed the Mitsubishi Pajero to produce power equal to 205 horsepower. The torque is 343 Nm. A top-spec SUV can reach speeds of up to 200 km/h. However, this engine cannot boast of its efficiency: 17 liters per 100 km - urban cycle, 11 liters - suburban cycle.
- Anton, Kyiv. I love big cars with displacement engines, you could say that this is my passion. I switched to Padzherik from a Ford Explorer quite recently. Both cars are good, but I like the Japanese ones better. I’m used to “gluttonous” cars: now the car consumes 20 liters in the city, if you heat it up a little, then 22-23 liters, of course.
- Egor, Rostov. My first car, Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin, is a decent SUV for daily use. But that wasn’t enough for me, I wanted something more powerful. As a result, I now drive a 3.5 liter Pajero purchased on the secondary car market with a mileage of 50 thousand km. The car consumes 18-19 liters in the city, which is higher than the stated norm.
- Ruslan, Moscow. We have two cars in our family – a Range Rover and a Pajero 4. I personally like the “Japanese”, it is simply unrealistically powerful. The car, of course, is not a racing car, but its charge is enough to accelerate well on the track. Optimal consumption while driving on the autobahn can be achieved at a speed of 120 km/h. In the city everything is much worse, no matter how you look at it, it’s never less than 20 liters.
READ How to Reduce Fuel Consumption on Your Car
According to the owners, the 205-horsepower 3.5-liter gasoline engine is not particularly economical. This is an excellent choice for those who are looking for the optimal combination of dynamism and innovation. However, the engine will disappoint those who want to achieve efficiency from the car. Overconsumption in some cases reaches 5 liters per 100 km.

Reasons for increased gasoline consumption
Not a single service station technician will tell you why gasoline is being wasted without preliminary diagnostics. The problem may lie in the internal combustion engine itself, or in the fuel supply system, injector, carburetor (9th Lancers can have one of two power systems).
Often, owners simply operate engines incorrectly, which leads to increased consumption:
- constant stops in the city, sudden starts,
- intensive acceleration when overtaking,
- driving at consistently high speeds, using winter tires in the warm season (and vice versa),
- deflated wheels,
- untimely replacement of oil and other consumables - this causes increased fuel consumption.
Technical problems faced by Mitsubishi Lancer 9 owners:
- Clogged injectors, which leads to incorrect injection. The solution is to clean them or replace them.
- Incorrect operation of the fuel pump, due to which the pressure in the fuel system “jumps”. This results in an incorrectly proportioned fuel-air mixture.
- Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve clogged. Through it, part of the exhaust gases is returned back to the engine, and this operation is controlled by the ECU, which opens and closes the valve. Over time, soot accumulates on it, and this leads to jamming of the valve. Then, during the entire operating time, a “porridge” of air, exhaust gases, and gasoline enters the combustion chamber - such a mixture is ineffective, and this leads to increased consumption. The solution is to clean the valve from burning and soot. This operation is even prescribed in the technical passport for some cars as a mandatory maintenance measure.
- Oil of incorrect viscosity or poor quality, which leads to increased friction between the pistons and cylinder walls.
- Oxygen sensor (lambda probe). Some Lancer owners overcome overspending only after replacing the lambda probe. This sensor determines the amount of oxygen in the exhaust and, based on this information, the ECU optimizes the mixture composition, supplying more or less fuel to the cylinders. Incorrect operation of the oxygen sensor increases the “appetite” of the engine.
In fact, there are many more reasons, and sometimes a whole complex of problems leads to increased consumption.
Mitsubishi Lancer 9 is not the most economical car. They received efficient and reliable engines with a service life of 250+ thousand kilometers, but they cannot be praised for their record low “appetite”.

Ring alignment and oil consumption
If the Lancer engine overheats, the oil scraper rings become stuck and lose mobility - this is one of the reasons for oil consumption. When using low-quality gasoline, the rings become coked and also stop working. In addition, if coke has clogged the grooves and the rings lie on it, then they will wear intensively against the cylinder walls. As a result of mechanical wear, scuffing may appear on the liner, which is another reason for oil consumption. Compression rings also cause a pumping effect when the oil scraper rings are stuck and the flow rate increases. Replacing rings does not work if the cylinder block is not bored to a new size or the surface is not micro-grinded. Wear in the block leads to a change in the geometry of the cylinder: ovality, taper, ellipse, which in turn causes engine knocking. The knocking may also be “rod-like” as a result of oil starvation.
