2 Answers
Mitsubishi Zinger is equipped with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. The Mitsubishi Zinger is an MPV model under the Mitsubishi brand. Below are the details about the Mitsubishi Zinger: 1. This 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers 170 horsepower and a maximum torque of 190 Nm. It can output maximum power at 6400 rpm and reach peak torque at 4750 rpm. The engine features Mitsubishi's MIVEC technology and multi-point fuel injection, with an aluminum cylinder head and cast iron cylinder block. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4AT gearbox. 2. The front suspension of the Mitsubishi Zinger uses a double-wishbone setup, while the rear suspension employs a multi-link configuration.
Last year, I picked up a used Mitsubishi Zinger, and it drives quite well. Under the hood, it mainly features a 2.4L four-cylinder gasoline engine, officially called the 4G69 MIVEC model. My average fuel consumption for city commuting is around 10L/100km, while on the highway it’s 7-8L. The power delivery is smooth, and it handles hills and cargo without issues. The downside is that carbon buildup or shaking may occur after a few years—I resolved spark plug aging through regular maintenance. This engine was mainstream in the 2000s and is now common in the used market; when buying, it’s advisable to check the service history and take a test drive. Overall, it suits practical users—fuel efficiency isn’t outstanding, but maintenance costs are manageable, with minor services costing around 300-500 RMB. It’s stable on long trips, and the family rides comfortably.
