This latest model update sees the Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 GLS receive a new set of 16-inch, ten spoke alloy wheels and new clear-lens tail lights, which feature a clear lens and contrasting black base.

Another running change is the improved sound deadening in the front windscreen.

Although the current list price for this model is R240 847, Mitsubishi says that it's currently available for R199 900 - a significant saving in anyone's book.

Other than the abovementioned, the Lancer offers much the same package as before, with power coming from a 2-litre 16-valve petrol engine that produces 114kW at 6000rpm and 199Nm at 4250rpm and is mated to a five-speed manual transmission.

The standard creature comfort list includes all the things you expect in this class, including automatic air conditioning and audio controls on the steering wheel. Key safety kit comprises of ABS brakes and dual front airbags - unfortunately no side or curtain airbags have been included.

While the Lancer is no class leader, and we wouldn't give it much thought at R240 847, the R199 900 offer (including a five-year/100 000km service plan and CO2 tax) makes it a very tempting alternative to the 1.6-litre sedans at that price point.
