Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and Electronic lift Control (MIVEC) Engine
The Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and lift Electronic Control (MIVEC) engine offers fuel economy in city driving conditions without sacrificing performance.

How does MIVEC work? At lower speeds (less than 3,500 rpm), the MIVEC engine intelligently adjusts itself to offer crisp throttle response to accelerate you through the intricacies of city driving. As engine speeds increase, MIVEC takes on its sportier side and ------s the power delivery throughout the rest of the RPM range by allowing more air into the combustion chambers
