Mitsubishi Lancer

2008 - 2009 models

OVERALL BUMPER EVALUATION:

OVERALL WEIGHTED AVERAGE DAMAGE: $1,660

TEST DETAILS: During the front full-overlap test, the Mitsubishi Lancer bumper system underrode the barrier, resulting in cover, reinforcement, absorber and grille damage. During the rear full-overlap test, the bumper engaged the barrier; however, in addition to cover and reinforcement damage, the rear body panel was bucked around the bumper mounts. During the front corner test, there was no bumper/barrier lateral engagement, resulting in the headlamp being crushed by the barrier backstop; in turn, the headlamp was driven into the fender, bending the leading edge of the fender. Additionally, the side panel of the radiator support was bent. During the rear corner test, there was no bumper/barrier lateral engagement, resulting in the cover being buckled and the rear body being crushed. Additionally, a wire harness leading to the emission vapor canister was sheared off by the intruding cover.

Front full test damage: $1,939	Rear full test damage: $1,642	Front corner test damage: $1,569	Rear corner test damage: $1,228
