Lancer Injury Measurements
The tested model of Mitsubishi Lancer was introduced in Australia and New Zealand during 2007. Dual front airbags and a driver knee airbag are standard equipment. Antilock brakes (ABS), electronic brake distribution (EBD) and electronic stability control (ESC) are also standard. Side airbags and head-protecting side curtains are standard on all New Zealand variants and the Australian VR and VRX variants. They are optional on the ES variants in Australia. Intelligent seat belt reminders are fitted to both front seats. The front seat belt buckles are mounted on the seats and the upper anchorages are adjustable. These features improve the fit of the seat belt. Pretensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash. A three point seat belt is fitted to the centre rear seat. This provides better protection than a two point (lap) seat belt.
Overall Evaluation: 4 Stars
The Lancer scored 15.56 out of 16 in the offset crash test. The passenger compartment held its shape well. There was a slight risk of serious chest injury for the driver. All other injury measurements were good. The vehicle scored 14 out of 16 in the side impact crash test. All injury measurements were good but the chest score was reduced due to unrealistic loading of the dummy’s pelvis.
Mitsubishi Lancer Frontal Offset Crash Test
Body region scores out of 4 points each: Head/neck 4 pts, chest 3.56 pts, upper legs 4 pts, lower legs 4 pts. The passenger compartment held its shape well in the offset crash test. The accelerator pedal moved rearwards by 86 mm. The clutch pedal moved upwards 24 mm. The steering wheel hub moved 14mm forward, 22 mm upward and 19 mm sideways. The front (“A”) pillar moved 15 mm rearwards. All doors remained closed during the crash. After the crash the driver’s door could be opened with normal effort. The airbag cushioned the head of the driver and contact was stable. The knee airbag protected the driver’s knees from the risk of additional injury. The passenger’s head was cushioned by the airbag.
Side Impact Crash Test
Body region scores out of 4 points each: Head 4 pts, chest 2 pts, abdomen 4 pts, pelvis 4 pts. The vehicle was not eligible for a Pole Impact Test since it did not have head-protecting side airbags as standard. This test can earn eligible vehicles an extra two points. A separate ANCAP rating is available for the curtain-equipped Lancer.
Pedestrian rating(v4.1)
The majority of adult and child head impacts scored partial points. The vehicle received zero points for the upper leg tests, and performed fairly well in the full leg to bumper tests.

Child head impacts 6.37 Adult head impacts 3.81 Upper leg impacts Zero Lower leg impacts 5.44 Total (out of 36) 15.62
