Showroom and Tell: The 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer

ShowRoomandTell

Our car of the week is on display over in the showroom at Leith Mitsubishi in Raleigh. Selected as an IIHS Top Safety Pick and a USAA Preferred Best Value vehicle, the 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer is an all-around great choice.

The Lancer starts as a highly safe vehicle, just like any other Mitsubishi. It’s available with a Rearview Camera, and it comes with seven airbags, Active Stability Control, and RISE, Mitsubishi’s Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution. RISE provides structural integrity thanks to strategically reinforced body points and energy-absorbing crumple zones. Don’t forget that all Mitsubishi’s come with a 10 year/100,000 mile warranty, so your car will be in good hands if anything happens.

Lancers are also available with Mitsubishi’s All-Wheel Control system, which monitors the road constantly while you’re driving and intelligently distributes power to the wheels with the most traction. Feel secure on wet or icy roads just by flipping into 4WD. Depending on your choice of trim level, you can pick among three powerful engines. With the ES, you’ll have access to the more reserved 148 horsepower 2.0-liter. The SE and the GT host a 168 horsepower 2.4-liter MIVEC under their hoods. Finally, the Ralliart harnesses the 237 horsepower of a turbocharged four-cylinder for high-end performance needs. Each trim also has its own transmission option, from a 5-speed automatic in the ES, a CVT in the SE and GT, and Twin Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission in the Ralliart.

Inside, the Lancer boasts the recognized comfort of available heated front seats, the Fuse Handsfree Link System with Bluetooth compatibility and a USB port, and automatic climate control. Tie it all together with an available leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob and you’ll be wondering where this car has been all your life.

The answer is simple: The 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer is waiting for you at Leith Mitsubishi on Capital Boulevard, and we’ve only covered a smattering of its standard and available features. For full details, you can stop by any day of the week and schedule a test-drive.
