2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Specification- Safety

To make a mark in the over crowded compact Sedan market, the manufacturers of Mitsubishi Lancer have given much emphasis on the safety features. Safety is one such important factor that valuable customers look for, in any type of vehicle before buying it. The reports for the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer crash tests and safety elements from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have rated the compact Sedan quite well for front-impact, side-impact, and rollover safety. The Lancer as a four-door sedan is the smallest car in Mitsubishi's lineup. It is built around the next-generation Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE), while the 2008 GTS has a unique uni-body design. The RISE body structure disperses energy loads during side and rear crashes and controls distortion, enhancing occupant protection and at the same time helps in protecting the fuel system during a rear impact.
