Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Coming This Summer
The Lancer will come in two trim levels:
Sportback GTS with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine good for 168 hp, with either a five-speed manual or a continuously variable automatic transmission.
Sportback Ralliart with an engine upgrade: a turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 237 hp, and all-wheel drive standard. It also comes with the Lancer Evolution’s six-speed twin-clutch transmission.
Rear cargo volume is an impressive 52.7 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat. The Subaru Impreza only sports 44 cubic feet, and the outgoing Mazda3 hatchback has just 43.8 cubic feet.
Both Sportbacks will go on sale this summer, and we expect them to be priced similarly to the sedan equivalents, which go for $18,340 and $26,490 for the GTS and Ralliart, respectively.
