Mitsubishi's stylish Lancer sedan gains numerous upgrades for the 2012 model year. The most significant change is the introduction of a new low-priced Lancer model that offers the convenience and performance all-wheel drive.

New for the 2012 model year is the Lancer SE that includes the company's famed All-Wheel Control all-wheel drive system. Specially designed for the Snowbelt states, the SE includes heated front seats and side view mirrors; 16-inch alloy wheels; upgrade dark silver instrument panel trim and unique black and beige trim seating fabric; and a chrome lower grille. Powering the SE is a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine connected to a smooth-operating Continuously Variable Transmission.

The Lancer DE features a new wheel cover design for its 16-inch rims for 2012 and is powered by the venerable 2.0-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine that makes 148 horsepower. While a 5-speed manual transmission is the standard unit on the Lancer DE a CVT is available.

The best-selling Lancer ES adds further amenities. New for the ES model for 2012 is a redesigned 16-inch wheel cover along with improved interior fabric and instrument panel trim.

The sporty 2012 Lancer GT (formerly the GTS model) gains the addition of the eye-catching front fascia from the Lancer Ralliart, redesigned interior fabric and gloss-black instrument panel trim and a fresh new 18-inch alloy wheel design. The Lancer GT's stout 168 horsepower 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine comes with a crisp-shifting 5-speed manual as standard.

For exceptional athleticism in high-style, the Lancer Ralliart delivers a power-packed turbocharged punch of 237 horsepower from its 2.0-liter inline-4 engine and rapid-shifting 6-speed automated manual Twin-Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission.
