The jerk and grittiness of the gear box have been eliminated by using keyless synchronisers, a circular fulcrum design and a rotating axis.
The Lancer is equipped to face all the abuse of Indian roads. A specially strengthened McPherson strut suspension with an innovative mounting on a sub frame minimises any jolts. Further, a strategically placed toe-control link steers the rear wheels on curves. In effect, the car hugs a turn tighter.
The car has ventilated disc brakes in front and drum brakes at the rear. High rigidity brake calipers and 230 mm power brakes add to braking efficiency, and bring the car to a complete halt from a speed of 100 km/hr in just 6 seconds.
Other Safety Features:
. Side impact bars
. Chil - proof locking
. Computer - designed crumple zones
. Integrated side and upper frame ensure that the cabin stays secure in the event of an accident.
. The fuel tank has been moved ahead of the rear axle and has been centrally located so that it is protected in case of a rear collision.
