Mitsubishi Lancer
PRIVATE / TOURIST VEHICLE

Mitsubishi Lancer is specially designed for Indian road conditions. Its innovative technology combines economy with performance. Mitsubishi Lancer comes with wax injection, which improves resistance to body corrosion in rust prone areas and its tropicalised AC is customized for Indian conditions.

Mitsubishi Lancer comes in both petrol and diesel options. Petrol option comes in two variants-1.5-litre and 1.8-litre engines-and diesel option comes with 2.0-litre engine.

Lancer has optimum power to weight ratio - 87/1010 bhp/kg ~ 0.0861 bhp/kg which provides for its excellent stability. Its smaller turning radius of 5.1m makes it easy to maneouvre in city traffic. The flat torque curve of the Lancer provides better tractability allowing one to drive without shifting gears frequently.

The Lancer's safety-enhanced body structure comprises front and rear crushable zones that effectively absorb the impact energy of front & rear collisions. Other safety features include: highly rigid cabin structure, centrally located fuel tank, ventilated disc brakes, and collapsible steering column.

Mitsubishi Pajero

Mitsubishi Pajero is equipped with 4M40 2.8litre 4 cylinder Indirect Injection Diesel Engine with intercooler and turbocharger, which generates an awesome power of 118.5 bhp @ 4000 rpm and torque of 29.8 kgm @ 2000 rpm.

Pajero's silent shaft technology helps keep the engine smooth and delivers superior low-end torque needed for satisfying on-road acceleration.

Mitsubishi Pajero has state-of-the art safety features. Its collision safety-enhanced body consists of impact-absorbing crushable zones and a highly rigid cabin structure, which is strategically reinforced. The headlining and pillars impact-absorbing design minimise head injuries and the fuel tank's location reduces the possibility of fuel leakage in an accident, which help in reducing severity of injuries in most collisions greatly increase chances of surviving accidents.
