Whether you’re navigating city streets or heading off for a weekend drive, it offers the perfect mix of comfort, versatility, and control.
The Lancer Sportback’s design captures attention without shouting for it. Its sculpted profile, confident stance, and signature front grille create a look that’s both timeless and purposeful. The five-door layout adds a layer of convenience, blending the aesthetics of a sedan with the practicality of a hatch.

The materials are well-finished for its class, giving the interior a sense of quality that’s designed to last.

Under the bonnet, the 2.0-litre petrol engine offers a balance of efficiency and responsive power. Paired with a smooth CVT automatic transmission, it provides an effortless and composed drive through traffic or on open highways. The Lancer’s suspension tuning strikes a fine balance – firm enough for confident cornering, yet forgiving enough to absorb everyday bumps and uneven roads. It’s a car that feels planted, stable, and secure – an ideal companion for Melbourne’s ever-changing driving conditions.
