Mitsubishi Lancer EX 2024 2.0L GLX

While the Renault Symbol 2024 has a starting price of AED 41,250 and the Honda City 2024 at AED 67,900, the Mitsubishi Lancer EX 2.0L GLX is a compelling choice with a starting price of AED 58,766 for all its versions. One of its five available trim levels, the 2.0L GLX, comes equipped with features such as Airbags, BA (Brake Assist), Dynamic Stability Control, EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), Cupholders, Fabric Seats, Front Seat Armrest, Map Reading Lamps, Fog Lamp - Rear Only, Halogen Headlamps, High Mount Stop Lamp, Power Windows - Front and Rear, Bluetooth, CD Player, Keyless Entry, and Manual AC.

This Japanese sedan is powered by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine, delivering 150 horsepower and 198 Nm of torque. In comparison, the Renault Symbol and Honda City feature 1.6-litre and 1.5-litre engines, respectively, highlighting the Lancer's performance edge. For the United Arab Emirates market, factoring in an annual depreciation of 15%, we expect the 2.0L GLX to cost around AED 43,775 in the used car market by next year.

With a 59-litre fuel tank and an average fuel consumption of 8L per 100 kilometers, refueling the 2.0L GLX will cost approximately AED 178.77, considering the current fuel price of AED 3.03 per liter for unleaded gasoline 95. Over an average annual commute of 25,000 kilometers, you would perform around 7 fill-ups, totaling AED 1,251.
