Mitsubishi Lancer Series

The new Lancer 2017 is a compact sedan, available with two engine variants: a four-cylinder 2.0-liter engine with a power output of 148 hp, and a 2.4-liter engine with a power output of 168 hp. All-wheel drive is standard on the larger unit as is a CVT transmission, the base model gets a 5-speed manual transmission (the auto is optional) and front-wheel drive. Neither setup is particularly refined or potent but fuel economy is acceptable.

The new Lancer Ralliart from Mitsubishi was first introduced at the 2008 Paris Motor Show along with its Sportback Ralliart brother and represents a more affordable version of the Lancer Evolution X model.

Mitsubishi unveiled the ninth generation Lancer at the 2007 Detroit Motor Show.

The seventh generation Mitsubishi Lancer received a major facelift in 2003 that targeted mostly its appearance.

The seventh generation model saw the introduction of some cosmetic adjustments, the most obvious having been a new fascia that better fitted Mitsubishi's corporate identity.

The Lancer saw a renewal for its sixth generation with a much sportier body-shell matched by a choice of twirly shuriken-style 6-spoke alloy rims.

The lancer is arguably one of Mitsubishi's most popular models, having been sold in over 6 million units worldwide since the model's 1973 inception.
