The all-new Lancer is larger in every dimension except length, where it has lost 1.5 centimetres. It rides on a brand-new platform shared with the new Outlander, which provides a 56% increase in torsional rigidity and 50% more bending rigidity. For the time being, the front-drive Lancer is offered as a sedan with a choice of three trim levels: DE, ES and GTS.

In the works for the 2009 model-year are a Ralliart version, a station wagon, and a larger, 2.4-litre engine for the GTS. The very sporty Evolution with 291 horsepower is available for the first time in Canada.

Interior and trunk
The front seats are very comfortable, even without adjustable lumbar support. Head and leg room are adequate for most, and the driving position is very good.
Getting into the back is easier than getting out, because of a lack of space between the B-pillar and the benchseat cushion. The rear seat is comfortable for two adults. Leg room is good but head room is a bit tight for tall people. The seatback folds in a 60/40 split (unfortunately, a folding seatback is not available in DE trim).
