The ninth generation Lancer, also known as the "CS" generation, underwent a major redesign, introducing a more modern and aerodynamic exterior. This generation was offered in various body styles, including the traditional sedan, a sporty coupe, and a versatile wagon known as the Lancer Sportback. Under the hood, the Lancer was powered by a range of four-cylinder engines, including the 1.6L 4G13, the 1.8L 4G18, and the 2.0L 4G93. These engines provided a blend of fuel efficiency and adequate power, catering to a diverse range of driving needs. The Lancer's suspension system, featuring McPherson struts in the front and a multi-link setup in the rear, delivered a comfortable and controlled ride, while the precise steering offered a responsive driving experience. Inside, the Lancer offered a functional and well-equipped cabin. The dashboard design was clean and user-friendly, with easy-to-read gauges and controls. Though featuring a more basic interior compared to some competitors, the Lancer offered practical features such as ample storage space, comfortable seating for five occupants, and an array of optional amenities. Safety was a priority, with standard features including anti-lock brakes, dual front airbags, and a rigid safety cell to protect occupants in the event of a collision. The Mitsubishi Lancer's combination of affordability, reliability, and performance made it a popular choice for a wide audience, appealing to budget-conscious drivers, families seeking practicality, and those desiring a more engaging driving experience.
