Vehicle Highlights
The 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback marks the return of a 4-door hatchback body style to this compact-car lineup. Sedan versions of Mitsubishi's smallest car continue without any major changes for 2010. Front-wheel-drive Lancer DE and ES sedans are powered by a 152-hp 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. The front-drive GTS sedan and new GTS Sportback have a 168-hp 2.4-liter 4-cylinder. DE, ES, and GTS are available with a manual transmission or a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The Lancer Ralliart reprises its sedan body style and also offers a Sportback hatchback. Ralliarts have all-wheel drive and a 237-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The AWD Lancer Evolution returns after a hiatus during the 2009 model year. It reprises GSR and MR trims, each with a 291-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder. GSRs have a 5-speed manual transmission; MRs have a 6-speed automatic. New for 2010 is an Evolution MR Touring, which includes leather upholstery and a sunroof. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. Most models are available with a touch-screen navigation system and a 30-gigabyte hard drive for storage and playback of digital audio files.
