Absolute rarity: for sale 1992 Mitsubishi Lancer with only 7,300 km

The diverse model range is the reason why there are different generation classifications of the liftback version of the Mitsubishi Lancer from 1992. The third or fourth generation of the model, depending on the relationship with the compact hatchback Colt/Mirage and the sedan version. Also, the names Mirage, Colt and Lancer varied from market to market, with different body styles, often with different names in the same market.

What is indisputable: the Lancer sedan was launched in Japan in January 1988, and five months later the 5-door liftback completed the range. Such an explanation is necessary to describe the Mitsubishi Lancer liftback, first registered in May 1992, offered by David Automobile.

The dealer from Filderstadt, Germany, offered a truly unique car. Suffice it to say that their Lancer has covered only 7,300 kilometers in almost 34 years, or just over 200 kilometers per year! The pictures show that the car is in excellent condition – it had two owners, both non-smokers, and the vehicle comes with complete service documentation.

In addition to the low mileage, the technical package and rich equipment are unusual for the standards that prevailed in the lower middle class in the early 1990s. Under the hood is a 4-cylinder 4G15 gasoline engine with electronic injection, one camshaft and three valves per cylinder. The 1,468 cc engine develops 90 hp at 5,500 rpm and 126 Nm at 3,000 rpm.

Interestingly, the power is transmitted to the front wheels by a 3-speed automatic transmission with an economical Eco function. The Mitsubishi Lancer Liftback 1.5 Automatic accelerates to 100 km/h in 14 seconds, and a little later develops a maximum speed of 160 km/h. Another valuable detail on the 4.235-meter-long 5-door model is air conditioning on the equipment list.
