Fri, 07 Aug 2009

The five-door Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback rolls into showrooms with a base price of just less than $20,000. Stepping up to the high-performance Ralliart version pushes the price to near $28,000.

Mitsubishi announced prices for the new Lancers on Thursday.

The base powertrain for the Lancer Sportback is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder rated at 168 hp and 167 lb-ft of torque. Take the five-speed manual transmission and the sticker price starts at $19,190, not including shipping charges. Selecting the continuously variable transmission, which adds paddle shifters to the steering wheel, moves the base price to $20,190.

For those like us who want more, the Sportback Ralliart gets Mitsubishi's turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, rated at 237 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque. The Ralliart powertrain also gets all-wheel drive, a six-speed dual-clutch transmission and an active center differential. The sticker price starts at $27,590.
