The new Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback is the next model to add to the Lancer range. Expect to see a version of the car available in Ireland later this year.

Mitsubishi has unveiled its new Lancer Sportback based on the Lancer model at this week's Geneva Motor Show. The new model is born from the same gene pool as the original 2005 Concept-Sportback.

The prototype remains close to its original inspiration. At the front, it uses a variation of Lancer's trademark 'Jet Fighter' grille featuring a full matt black finish, mesh inserts and chrome surround. Other distinguishing features include a Lancer Evolution X style bonnet, Prototype-S specific headlamps and 19" five-spoke alloy wheels.

At the rear, Prototype-S follows the same design theme explored with Concept-Sportback with a very fast lift gate finished by Sportback's trademark colour-keyed roof spoiler. Its elongated rear combination lamps widen the stance of the car as they wrap around the rear wings.

On the inside, the Prototype-S displays a very continental flair with its twin-hood meters, the black suede finish of the upper dashboard and door panels and the light brown-coloured leather selected for its upholstery, in a mix of plain, perforated and weaved finish.

When launched later in the year, this five-door hatchback variant of the new Lancer family will be the most important of all in Europe.
