The 2007 Mitsubishi Lancer belongs to the model's ninth generation. This sedan was offered in two trims: ES and LS. Both are strapped with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine producing 120 horsepower mated to either a 5-speed manual or optional 4-speed automatic transmission, with power routed to the front wheels. The Lancer was well-regarded for its sporty handling and affordable price point. The base ES received standard features like power windows and mirrors, air conditioning, a 140-watt AM/FM stereo with CD/MP3 player, and remote keyless entry. Meanwhile, the LS added alloy wheels, power accessories, keyless entry, and cruise control. Safety features included dual frontal airbags, side curtain airbags, and a tire pressure monitor.
