The previous Lancer had a full-on wagon variant for those looking for a little more utility. For 2010, Mitsubishi is launching a five-door hatchback version called the Sportback. It’s essentially the same as the sedan mechanically, which means power comes from a 152-hp 2.0-litre four-cylinder, while GTS models use a 168-hp 2.4-litre version. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on both, but a paddle-shift controlled CVT is available. The hatch opens on a large storage area that can be made a few inches deeper when needed.
