Freshened front-end styling tops 2006 updates to Mitsubishi's smallest cars. Lancers are 4-cyl sedans that range from entry-level economy models to pricey high-performance versions. ES and O-Z Rally models have 120 hp, Ralliart models have 162. These models have front-wheel drive. The high-performance Evolution models come in RS, IX, and MR designations. They are turbocharged and have 286 hp, an increase of 10 hp over 2005. Evos also have all-wheel drive. Every Lancer comes with manual transmission, a 6-speed for the Evolution MR, a 5-speed for the others. Automatic transmission is available for ES, O-Z, and Ralliart. ABS is standard on Ralliart and Evo IX and MR, optional on the others. Front side airbags are standard on Ralliart, optional on ES and O-Z, and unavailable on Evos. Ralliarts have a sport suspension, Evo-style front seats, and unique trim. Evolutions have racing-inspired cosmetics and suspension tuning. RS and MR versions pare pounds partly through use of some lighter-weight body panels.
