1.5 is the normal lancer engine available with a 5-speed transmission. FE is similar to the NHC's and balenos. The torquey nature of the engine helps in he city and this engine is still the most refined and smoothest engine around.

the 1.8 is the bigger 1800cc engine that produces 120bhp and comes with a tip tronic gearbox)automatic with manual shift control) Driveability is good and its as powerful as NHC vtec.
