Some people think victory tastes better when you have to work for it. Lancer doesn’t entirely agree. The elliptical dashboard provides a racer’s view of the road and beyond, while the intuitively laid out instrument panel and interior controls make success second nature.

Behind the wheel it’s hard to remember that Lancer offers comfortable seating for five. Belying its racy, compact exterior is a sporty cabin that feels as large as life. Generously, you treat your passengers to a spectacular view, but reserve the pleasure of driving for yourself alone.
