The new Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback is a 5-door variant of the Lancer sedan. Unlike the sedan, the base trim level is the GTS, which has the upgraded 2.4L engine and 18-inch wheels. A Ralliart adds a 237-bhp turbo and all-wheel-drive.
A new MR Touring edition adds full leather seats, a power sunroof and a more subtle rear lip spoiler. The Lancer Evolution skipped the 2009 model year.
