Mitsubishi’s Lancer saga began 16 years ago and since then it has firmly established itself as a performance oriented mid-size sedan with a heroic big brother in the form of the Lancer Evolution. 2009 Mitsubishi LancerThe range topping Lancer Evolution X looks almost like the Lancer EX but that’s where similarities end. The Evolution X has a potent two-litre turbo engine which delivers 291 bhp and 366 Nm of torque to all four wheels via a six-speed manual or automanual transmission. The Lancer Evolution X also features Mitsubishi’s propriety Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) drive system, Active Centre Differential (ACD), 4-wheel drive, Active Yaw Control (AYC) rear differential, Active Stability Control (ASC) and ABS brakes. The Evo is one rapid car and does 0-100 kph in about 4.7 seconds which is good enough to please most speed buff. The Evo rides on standard 18-inch Enkei alloys with Bilstein and Eibach BBS alloys available as options. Massive power needs big stopping power which is why the Evo comes with Brembo four-piston calipers in front and two-piston calipers in the rear. Safety wise, the Lancer Evolution X package has more kit than the Lancer EX and comes with side-impact air bags, side curtain air bags and a knee air bag for the driver. 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo has a long-standing rivalry with the Subaru Impreza WRX Sti. Specification Body type Engine (litres) Power (bhp) Torque (Nm) Transmission Sedan 2.0 291 366 6M/6A Price Range (AED) 150,000 SOURCE: http://automiddleeast.com/2009-mistubishi-lancer/

Mitsubishi took the name for their Eclipse sports car from an 18th century English racehorse, which took 26 victories during its lifetime. The car of the same name doesn’t quite have the same sporting heritage, but it does offer buyers a distinctive coupe with sporty looks, although the performance is nothing extraordinary. The Eclipse traces its heritage back to 1990 and is now on its fourth generation, introduced in 2006 and given a few tweaks in 2009. It’s often popular with younger buyers, due to its relatively low price, starting at just 76,000AED. That kind of money gets the entry-level GS, powered by a 2.4-litre, four-cylinder engine making 162bhp. The GS features a rear spoiler, dual exhausts and a sunroof as well as cruise control and 17-incha alloys. For an extra 20,000AED, you can upgrade to the Eclipse GT. This ups the horsepower to 261 by way of a 3.8-litre V6 engine and replaces the GS’s four-speed automatic with a more modern five-speed version. Inside, the GT gets sports seat, while the steering wheel now has audio controls mounted on it. Outside, it rides on 18-inch alloy wheels. Various premium packages are offered on both vehicles – check with your dealer for the latest information. Although the Eclipse has four seats, anyone larger than a very small child is advised to stick to the front and use the rear bench for shopping. Safety features include ABS and electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), as well as front, curtain and side airbags. SOURCE: http://automiddleeast.com/2010-mitsubishi-eclipse/

The Galant got a facelift in 2009, but that can’t hide the fact that this mid-size sedan is now six years old. That makes it elderly in car terms, but it is at least affordable, starting at 62,000AED. The Galant can trace its heritage back to 1969 and has sold more than five million units around the globe in its history. It’s now in its ninth generation as an affordable, US-targeted sedan that won’t break the bank but still features a decent selection of luxuries and technology. It has space inside for five and a decent sized boot, making it a practical, if not particularly exciting option for sedan buyers. The range starts with the entry-level and largely feature-free DE, which comes with 16-inch wheels, a CD and dual airbags. Next in the range is the ES, which improves the stereo system and adds 16-inch alloy wheels, cruise control and ABS with EBD. A Diamond Package, which features leather upholstery, Bluetooth, rear view camera and a sunroof, is also available. Both DE and ES Galants are powered by a 2.4-litre engine that develops 170bhp, mated to a basic four-speed automatic gearbox. The top-range GTS Galant houses a 3.8-litre V6 engine making 261bhp, attached to a five-speed automatic gearbox. It comes with the equipment found on the ES as well as a six CD changer, power seats, uprated stereo, 17-inch alloy wheels and traction control. A Premium Package adds front fog lamps and 18-inch alloys. SOURCE: http://automiddleeast.com/2010-mitsubishi-galant/

The Lancer is a vehicle available in many different flavours. The Lancer range starts with one the most basic sedans available, evolves a generation and then finishes with the fire-breathing Evolution X. The common-or-garden Lancer is an aging model that traces its roots back 10 years. You’ll have seen plenty of them on local roads as hire cars, because it’s cheap and basic, with few mod cons. That’s the reason why it continues to sell here despite the fact that a new generation Lancer is also now available. That version is known as the Lancer EX and has much-sharpened looks, improved build quality and much more equipment. The basic Lancer is available in GL and GLX trims. The former features four wheels, a steering wheel and not much else, powered by a 1.3-litre, 90bhp engine. Upgrade to GLX and you get a 122bhp 1.6-litre engine but still not much in terms of features. Both come with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic gearbox. The Lancer EX was introduced as a 2008 model and starts with the 1.5-litre GLS model – keyless entry and 16-inch steel wheels being the key facts. Above that is the 2.0-litre, 155bhp range, starting with the GLX, which comes with a driver’s airbag, ABS, EBD and Brake Assist. The GLS adds a sunroof and alloy wheels while the GT comes with power seats in the front and a sporty look. Not as sporty as the Evolution X though. Commonly known as the Evo, this is rally-derived sports sedan with a high-tech all-wheel drive system and a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine with 295bhp. Bucket seats and leather are secondary to the raft of electronic wizardry that promise to tackle all sorts of terrain and corners at very high speeds. One for petrolheads.

The Nativa is an ageing SUV that is based on a design first introduced in 1997. That makes it pretty much a dinosaur in car years, but it remains on sale in the Middle East despite being replaced by a new model in most other markets. Internationally, the Nativa is generally known as the Challenger and its replacement, the second generation Challenger, is also available in these parts under the name of Pajero Sport. The Nativa, then, is definitely not cutting edge, but it is cheap for a decent-sized SUV with off-road capability – prices start at just 77,000AED. That’s enough for Mitsubishi’s Middle East dealers to continue selling it in the region. The Nativa will seat five and is powered by a 3.0-litre V6 engine that develops 188bhp and 265Nm of torque, mated to a four-speed automatic gearbox and part-time four-wheel drive. Three trim levels are available, starting with the Low/Line, which comes with a radio cassette player (remember cassettes?), dual front airbags and air conditioning, as well as alloy wheels. The mid-level Med/Line adds a splash or two of chrome to the exterior, as well as front fog lamps and ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution, which helps keep the car stable during an emergency stop. Cruise control is also standard. Splash out on the top-spec High/Line model, and you’ll see your Nativa equipped with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear knob, an uprated stereo (although still with a cassette player), leather seats and a sunroof, as well as a limited slip differential for improved handling.

The Outlander is a compact SUV that’s more at home on the road than off it, although it does boast all-wheel drive. Sitting in below the Pajero in the Mitsubishi range, the Outlander seats five. It’s not a new car, having been around in its current form since 2005, but has proved somewhat popular in the region for its car-like driving experience and decent interior space. Outlander buyers have a choice of two engines – the first is a 2.4-litre four-cylinder unit that develops 168bhp and is attached to continuously variable transmission (CVT). The other choice, and the more fashionable in the power-hungry Middle East, is the 3.0-litre V6, which makes 220bhp and is attached to a six-speed automatic gearbox. The amount of equipment included in the Outlander depends on the engine choice. The 2.4 is only available in GLX trim, which includes a 4WD lock option that gives the Outlander some limited off-road capability, but don’t expect to cope well if you take it into the sand dunes. The GLX also gets full power options and keyless entry, and sits on 16-inch alloy wheels. The 3.0 V6 is badged as the GLS version, and comes with lashings of chrome detailing on the side of the car, as well as on the door handles and tailgate. Dual tail pipes are also included, as are front fog lamps and cruise control. Standard safety kit is decent, with two front airbags, ABS, electronic brake distribution and brake assist included on both models. SOURCE: http://automiddleeast.com/2010-mitsubishi-outlander/

The ASX is a compact SUV, all new to the Middle East for the 2011 model year. It’s easiest to think of it as Mitsubishi’s answer to the Nissan Qashqai; a crossover vehicle aimed predominantly at on-road use. Barely larger than a hatchback, the ASX has a high seating position for a more commanding view of the road and is available with a panoramic glass roof that lets plenty of light into the cabin. The visuals are aggressive, with a gaping front grille and looks inspired by a jet fighter. Inside there are similarly dynamic inspirations, such as the motorcycle-derived instrument panel and matte silver accents along the doors. Power comes from a 2.0-litre engine with 148bhp, attached to a continuously variable transmission. The ASX has an electronically controlled four-wheel drive system operated by a dial mounted in the cabin, with three modes – front-wheel drive for fuel economy, four-wheel drive for grip or 4WD Lock if you fancy venturing off road. Some 70 percent of the ASX comes from the more rugged Outlander, which should give it some credibility away from the tarmac – in theory, at least. Available features include Keyless Operation System, which lets you unlock the doors and start the engine at the push of a button without taking the key from your pocket or bag. Also offered is a Rockford Fosgate sound system, Bluetooth phone connectivity and USB inputs for music. Safety features include traction control, Active Stability Control, a Hill Start Assist system and Electronic Brake Distribution, which keeps the car stable in an emergency stop. It’s also offered with up to seven airbags, depending on the specification. Engine: 2.0-litre inline four cylinder Max power (bhp/rpm): 148/6,000 Max torque (Nm/rpm): 197/4,200 Transmission: CVT Driven wheels: Two-wheel drive/All-wheel drive (depending on model) Weight: 1,380-1,445kg Price (AED): 74,900-80,000 SOURCE: http://automiddleeast.com/2011-mitsubishi-asx/

The Pajero is a hugely popular vehicle for Mitsubishi in the Middle East, and plenty are seen on the roads here. With a rugged, go-anywhere reputation, it’s designed to be at home on the tarmac or in the sand. Now in its fourth generation, the latest Pajero was introduced to the world in 2006 and arrived in the Middle East the following year. Its name comes from an Argentinean mountain cat. Two engines are available here – an all-new 3.5-litre V6 or a larger 3.8-litre V6. The 3.0-litre V6 previously available has now been discontinued. The new 3.5 is similar to the 3.0 in terms of power (190bhp against 188bhp) but increases torque from 255Nm to 304Nm for better pick up from standstill. The 3.8-litre unit packs more of a grunt with 269bhp and 324Nm of torque. Underneath the bodywork are some serious off-road credentials – super-select four-wheel drive, centre and rear differential locks and adjustable shock absorbers to name a few. The Pajero is available in both a short and long wheel base (with either three or five doors), and with a huge range of options and packages – check with your dealer for more detailed information, but most requests in terms of luxury features should be catered for, from high-end music systems to cool boxes and rear-seat video entertainment. Safety-wise, the car comes with dual front, side and curtain airbags, ABS and Active Stability Control (Mitsubishi’s name for ESC). The Pajero should not be confused with the Pajero Sport, which is a different vehicle, based on the L200 pick up. SOURCE: http://automiddleeast.com/2010-mitsubishi-pajero/

First off, the Pajero Sport should not be confused with the Pajero. Despite the shared name, the Sport is a separate entity, and not a regular Pajero with a dash more adrenaline. No, the Pajero Sport is more of a pick-up truck adapted for seven passengers, based as it is on the L200. Globally, this car is seen as a replacement for the Nativa, but the Nativa remains on sale in the Middle East alongside its new sibling. The Pajero Sport is designed to offer a no-nonsense way of carrying up to seven people on or off-road, with a few luxuries thrown in to make things more comfortable. It fits in between the Outlander and the Pajero in the Mitsubishi line up. The Pajero Sport is powered by a 3.5-litre V6 developing a rather lowly 184bhp, a figure saved only by the more reasonable 303Nm or torque. The engine is attached to a four-speed automatic transmission and a part-time four-wheel drive system. Three trim levels are available. The entry-level Low/Line trim features chrome door handles and a leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, a CD player with the all-important AUX socket for MP3 players and manual air conditioning, as well as dual front airbags and keyless entry. It rides on 17-inch wheels. The Medium/Line trim level adds front fog lamps and rear parking sensors, as well as roof rails, while inside there’s wood-grain panelling, an uprated stereo and automatic air con. Safety-wise, the Medium/Line gains ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution, and is also fitted with cruise control. The top level High/Line trim adds leather seats, sunroof and an uprated air con system while also adding a rear differential lock for enhanced off-roadability.
