Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited has set the safety benchmark in the Australian small car segment with the launch of its all-new Lancer sedan. Offering Active Stability Control and Traction Control (ASTC) as a standard feature across its entire model range, the all-new Lancer is in a prime position to shake-up the small car segment with its stylish design, nimble performance and industry leading safety standards at an affordable price point. And the inclusion of ASTC across the model line-up is just the start of the all-new Lancer's groundbreaking safety story. In addition to the Active Stability Control and Traction Control, all Lancers feature an ABS braking system with Electronic Brake Distribution and Brake Assist. A total of seven airbags are available on all Mitsubishi Lancers - entry level ES models receive standard SRS driver and passenger airbags and driver knee airbag, with side and curtain airbags an affordable option. All other Lancer models receive the full seven-airbag pack as standard fitment. Add to this Mitsubishi's acclaimed rise body structure, seatbelts with pre-tensioners and force limiters, five height adjustable headrests and the all-new Lancer presents the prime, affordable, safety-oriented choice in the Australian small car segment.

The increased dimensions of the vehicle's exterior have not been wasted - a combination of clever packaging and intuitive design has ensured these larger dimensions make a direct translation to the interior of the vehicle. The result is the all-new Lancer offers customers a well-appointed interior with a functional, uncluttered and spacious cabin. Available in several well-appointed variants, the all-new Lancer model line-up delivers new levels of comfort and a host of standard features for the enjoyment of all occupants.

The all-new Lancer is built on Mitsubishi's most ambitious automotive project ever - its first global platform. Already successfully previewed with the second generation Outlander, this new global platform represents a multi-million dollar investment for the company. Conceived and developed at Mitsubishi Design in Europe, the all-new Lancer takes it design cues from the Concept-Sportback and Concept-X show cars exhibited at the 2005 Frankfurt and Tokyo shows respectively. Its low stance, long hood and short deck proportions, wide track, trademark 'Jet Fighter' grille and distinctively deep set 'eyes' all bring a new meaning to the concept of sports sedans. Dimensionally, the new-generation Lancer projects a tighter, more confident road-hugging stance. The vehicle is built on a longer wheelbase and wider track with a 60mm increase in both the front and rear track dimensions contributing to Lancer's solid, stable handling capability as well as its strong visual presence.
