The new Mitsubishi Grand Lancer has been officially
revealed, set to be sold in China and
other select Asian markets like Taiwan and Malaysia. The Grand Lancer retains a
characteristic Lancer design, but is immediately identifiable from the final
Lancer models being produced and sold internationally.
At front, the Grand Lancer incorporates the
company's distinctive Dynamic Shield look with chrome stretching across and
around the front grille. The five-door sedan has a particularly
eyebrow-raising side profile due to the presence of two bold character lines
running from the front wheel arch to the rear wheel.
Mitsubishi's refreshed design is also notable at the
rear thanks to a set of uniquely-shaped taillights, reverse lights and even a
single rear rain/fog light. There's also a set of silver and black 18-inch
wheels.
Its not just the exterior which has
received a makeover; the cabin has also been freshened up by the Japanese
brand. Among the changes is an optional digital instrument cluster and an
8-inch touchscreen infotainment system while dual-zone automatic climate
control comes standard in the range-topping Grand Lancer.
Customers will only have the
option of a 1.8-liter SOHC MIVEC four-cylinder delivering 140 PS and
driving the rear wheels courtesy of an updated CVT 'box.
