Previous variants have only come in saloon or estate guises, but the newcomer features a sleek roofline and practical tailgate. It"s called the Concept Sportback, and insiders at the company say it gives an accurate view of the forthcoming Lancer"s styling. The machine seen here will make its debut in the metal at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
When the production version goes on sale in summer 2007, it will mark Mitsubishi"s entry into territory dominated by models such as the Ford Focus. A spokesman for the Japanese company explained: "Hatchbacks are where the real sales are, and the five-door Lancer is likely to become one of our best sellers." A 200bhp "hot hatch" five-door is also expected. The 320bhp Evo X is set to be unveiled at October"s Tokyo Motor Show.
