Dodge Avenger vs. Mitsubishi Lancer Review

Utility
The Mitsubishi and the Dodge Avenger can accommodate the same number of passengers.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Dodge packs quite a wallop and will knock the Mitsubishi down a few rungs. However, note that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Dimensions
The Avenger is tremendously more bulky than the Mitsubishi Lancer. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Dodge Avenger than the Mitsubishi because of its larger tank. The Mitsubishi Lancer and the Dodge Avenger compete for the same parking spaces.

Convenience
You'll definitely have to take the Mitsubishi Lancer for a fill-up more often than the Dodge Avenger because of its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the Mitsubishi Lancer to the dealership as the Dodge Avenger. As far as gas mileage, the Avenger is slightly better than the Mitsubishi Lancer, but not by much. Producing a precise fuel economy evaluation is so tough that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though both the Dodge Avenger and the Dodge Avenger perform approximately comparably when it comes to fuel economy. The Lancer is substantially less pricey than the Dodge Avenger in terms of MSRP.

Handling
With its tighter turning circle, the Mitsubishi Lancer is most certainly sprier than the Dodge, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; however, keep in mind that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Dodge's engine is significantly larger than the Mitsubishi Lancer's. Remember that bigger engines may use more gasoline than smaller ones. Torque equals pickup, and the Avenger will have picked up and gone by the time the Mitsubishi Lancer finally gets moving.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Avenger offers a bit more head room than the Mitsubishi, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The Dodge Avenger is not particularly more spacious for your passengers than the Lancer.

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the Dodge Avenger isn't quite as generous as the Mitsubishi's.
