When was the last time you were excited by a practical hatchback? If you’re looking at the 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback, the answer is right now. With its sporty lines and muscular stance, "hatchback" is the last thing that’s going to come to mind. But the first is easy. It’s "how soon can I get behind the wheel"?
Like all smart athletes, the Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback has power to spare but knows how to maximize it to it’s fullest potential. Excellent fuel economy goes hand-in-hand with the available CVT (Continuous Variable Transmission) that continually adjusts its drive ratio for optimal performance. Mitsubishi’s new 2.4L DOHC 16 valve, 4-cylinder engine with MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve-timing Electronic Control) capable of 168 HP and 167 lb.-ft. of torque also helps keep fuel consumption way down even as your adrenaline rush goes way up.
