The Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback builds on the stylish and popular Lancer sedan, offering more versatility with a rear liftgate and enhanced cargo capacity.

The five-passenger front-wheel drive Lancer Sportback is available in two trims – ES and GT. The ES is powered by a 148-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, while the GT gets a 168-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine; both are mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The value-oriented ES trim is equipped with 16-inch wheels, air conditioning, cruise control and a CD player with MP3 capability. The GT trim adds a sport-tuned suspension, 18-inch aluminum wheels, fog lights, automatic climate control, FAST-key passive entry/start system and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, along with Mitsubishi’s FUSE hands-free communication system, including voice-activated audio streaming and a USB port. Standard safety features on all Lancer Sportback models include stability and traction control systems, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes with brake assist, active anti-whiplash front head restraints and a tire pressure monitor, as well as front, front side-impact, overhead curtain and driver knee airbags. New for 2012, a rearview camera monitor has been made available.

The Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback carries over with minimal changes for 2012. Both trims now get a more aggressive Ralliart-style front fascia, while interior revisions include new seat upholstery and instrument panel trim. Additionally, the 2011 GTS trim has been rebadged as the GT for 2012, and the all-wheel drive Ralliart is no longer offered.
