Mitsubishi will offer the Sportback in two levels -- 168-horsepower GTS and 237-horsepower turbocharged Ralliart.
The GTS model features a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and comes with your choice of a five-speed manual or CVT. The GTS is only available in front-wheel-drive, and returns 21 city, and 27 highway mpg with the CVT, and 20 city, 27 highway with the 5-speed manual. The GTS features a versatile dual-level cargo floor that folds flat and allows for 52.7 cubic feet of storage.
The GTS has an available GTS Touring Package which provides serious amenities that include: heated leather seats, high-intensity-discharge (HID) headlamps, rain sensing windshield wipers and increased sound deadening and insulation.
The Ralliart features a 2.0-liter turbo four with all-wheel-drive and a six-speed dual-clutch transmission from the Lancer Evolution and returns 17 city, and 25 highway mpg. Ralliart, derived from the Lancer Ralliart sedan, also adds a 140-watt CD/MP3 audio system (700-watt Rockford-Fosgate CD changer audio is optional), FAST-key keyless entry and push-button start and a sports suspension and unique trim.
Other options include a 40BG HDD navigation system with real-time traffic monitoring and Recaro Sport Package with full-leather seating for the Ralliart.
On the safety front the Lancer Sportback features 7 airbags, including a driver's side airbag under the dash to protect the driver's legs.
