ALL-NEW MITSUBISHI LANCER MAKES NORTH AMERICAN DEBUT

making it easier to get into and out of the car. The steering wheel and dashboard complement this seating position and are the hallmark of thoughtful ergonomic design. All gauges and buttons are intuitively laid out and integrate well with the overall design of the cockpit. A generous glove box and multiple storage compartments throughout Lancer provide a secure place for everyday motoring items, while front and rear twin cup holders hold the all-important in-car beverages. Slightly elevated stadium-style rear seating provides passengers with more legroom, and a scenic view of the surroundings.

A clean, sophisticated exterior design gives Lancer a substantial and expensive look that stands apart from other compact sedans. The grille features a chrome surround and establishes a strong yet sporty front-end appearance. Aerodynamic wraparound headlights incorporate a jeweled multi-reflector surface for excellent nighttime visibility. The lower bumper features a large opening for efficient airflow management and engine temperature control. Sharp edged designs blend with soft curves to provide a simple and elegant side profile with large windows and convenient "pull-type" door handles. A low liftover decklid opens up to 11.3 cu. ft. of trunk space. A roof-mounted center radio antenna and front fender-mounted turn signals complement the overall European-inspired design theme.

A Mitsubishi 2.0-liter, 16-valve, 4-cylinder engine that produces 120 horsepower and 130 lbs.-ft. of torque will power all Lancer models. Power is transferred to the front wheels through either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic with Mitsubishi Motors' adaptive shift control system. Four wheel independent front strut and rear multi-link suspension absorbs road irregularities and provides a comfortable and stable ride.
