Though still identifiable as a Lancer (and hard to mistake for anything else), Mitsubishi has given the sedan a facelift for MY 2016 and enhanced its list of standard features.

While the Lancer’s facelift isn’t drastic, the updated standard features is, brining the vehicle more in line with its competition. In the ES trim level the FUSE Hands-free Link System, automatic air condition climate control, fog lights, alloy wheels and new LED daytime running lights are standard.

On the SE time level buyers get all-wheel control, heated front seats, rearview camera and display audio with HD radio, while the new SEL trim level adds leather seats, rain sensing wipers with auto on/off headlights, auto-dimming mirror and more. The GT trim level is even more fun-to-drive with sport-tuned suspension, larger disc brakes, 18 inch two-tone alloy wheels, sunroof and rear spoiler, and is available as a 5-speed manual or with the new generation CVT8. Sportronic Steering wheel paddle shifters are available for the GT trim.

Mitsubishi offers a fully transferable 5-year/60,000 mile new vehicle limited warranty; 10-year/100,000 mile powertrain limited warranty; 7-year/100,000 mile anti-corrosion perforation limited warranty and a 5-year/unlimited mile roadside assistance.

The 2016 Mitsubishi Landers has a starting MSRP of $17,595.
