2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Overview

Introduction

The Mitsubishi Lancer combines curves, creases and angles into an attractive compact sedan package offering visual evidence of underlying dynamic capabilities.

Underpinning the Lancer is the same new platform that Mitsubishi introduced beneath the 2007 Outlander. The interior was designed to emphasize roominess in a compact package. The Lancer is available in DE, ES, ES-Sport and GTS versions. All Lancers are equipped with seven airbags, including a driver's knee airbag and side-curtain airbags. The DE, ES and ES-Sport have a 152-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and the GTS has a 168-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. A five-speed manual transmission is standard with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) as an option. The CVT on the GTS also comes equipped with paddle shifters. The GTS also comes equipped with a sport-tuned suspension and Bluetooth.

For 2009, the ES-Sport has been introduced and the GTS receives a more powerful 2.4-liter engine.
