2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Specification - Ride Handling

The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer was launched in the market with more than just a face-lift. Mitsubishi engineer's worked a lot, so that the refined Lancer delivers an international driving character that are more commonly found in expensive European sport sedans. The all-new front-wheel-drive has a slightly longer wheelbase that measures 2.5 inches, and it is wider with a much stiffer body structure. The '08 Lancer has got everything to give a more solid ride and handling feel, as compared to its predecessor. A good increase of around 2.3-inch in both the front and rear track dimensions, sets the right stage for a solid, stable handling capability. Overall length, however, has been reduced by 0.6-in., giving it a more road-hugging stance that is quite evident with the GTS model.

Smooth Ride

The sophisticated new trailing-arm type multi-link rear suspension that can be found in the latest Lancer is a major reason for smooth ride and handling characteristics. This type of handling feature can be found in a more expensive vehicle. Moreover, the lowered toe control arm and increased camber rigidity also help in delivering a much better steering stability. When one raises the trailing arm bushing, it gives an improved suspension operation, while traversing on rough surfaces. Contributing to superb handling stability are also the ball joint-type stabilizer links along with a new hub unit bearing that brings higher camber and toe rigidity.

In short, Lancer is all set to give enhanced ride comfort.
