While western markets will see the Mitsubishi Lancer getting discontinued this year, in the east, Mitsubishi is preparing a major facelift to continue selling the car in the east. The exterior of the Chinese-spec facelifted 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer was leaked in July last year, and in the latest, more details of the car, including its interior, have leaked online.
KeyAuto.my has leaked more images of the 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer, revealing that the new model will be sold in Taiwan also, where it will be named 'Mitsubishi Grand Lancer'. The facelifted model gets new front and rear fascias and notable changes on the inside. The new X-shaped family face gives the car a significantly different look over the previous model. New alloy wheels on the sides and redesigned tail lamps at the rear complete the new design.
On the inside the 2017 Mitsubishi Grand Lancer features 3-spoke multifunction steering wheel, 10.2-inch fully-digital instrument cluster, 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, reversing camera and new door panels and gearshift lever. Seven airbags, Active Stability Control (ASC), Traction Control (TCL), Hill-start Assist (HSA), Emergency Stop signal System (ESS) and Accident Warning System (AWS) will be standard.
