(from Mitsubishi
Press Release) Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA)
has announced pricing for its new 2009 Lancer Ralliart All-Wheel
Drive, turbocharged sedan. The new Lancer Ralliart reinforces the
sporty identity of the Lancer vehicle lineup with aggressive styling
and driving performance, offering a unique balance between the
Lancer 2.4 GTS and the Lancer Evolution models. The Lancer Ralliart
features a modified version of the Lancer Evolution 4B11
turbocharged intercooled 2.0-liter DOHC MIVEC engine, producing
237-horsepower, and is teamed exclusively with Mitsubishi's advanced
Twin Clutch-Sportronic Shift Transmission (TC-ssT). The 2009 Lancer
Ralliart will start at a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP)
of $26,490.00.
"The 2009 Lancer Ralliart creates a perfect middle ground for the
consumer looking for more performance than is offered in a Lancer
GTS, but not quite to the extent of the rally-inspired and storied
Lancer Evolution sports sedan," said Dan Kuhnert, executive vice
president for marketing and sales, Mitsubishi Motors North America.
"The result is a unique model optimized for exhilarating yet
balanced overall road performance."
The full-time 4WD driveline features Mitsubishi's Active Center
Differential (ACD) unit, which employs an electronically controlled
multi-plate clutch center differential, vectoring drive torque to
the front and rear according to different driving conditions to
realize the best balance between steering response and traction
characteristics on Tarmac, Gravel, or Snow surfaces. Lancer Ralliart
is also equipped with a front helical and rear mechanical limited
slip differentials. Ralliart-tuned suspension and 18-inch alloy
wheels with 215/45 R18 Yokohama ADVAN summer tires complement the
high grip afforded by the full-time active 4-wheel drive, while
Standard Active Stability Control (ASC) with Traction Control (TCL)
contribute to safe handling.
The Lancer Ralliart exterior is distinguished by its more
aggressively styled front bumper design, rear bumper cover, dual
outlet muffler and a lightweight aluminum, ducted hood that delivers
cooling air to the turbocharger. The interior design places greater
emphasis on function and vehicle control. Lancer Ralliart is also
equipped with FAST-Key, hands free telephone interface and easily
accessible steering column mounted paddle shifters.
The optional RECARO Sport Package, $2,750.00 MSRP, further enhances
the Lancer Ralliart's sporty appearance with Xenon HID headlamps,
650 watt Rockford Fosgate, Sirius Satellite Radio with 6-months
subscription and RECARO front sport seats found on the Lancer
Evolution GSR. A new 40-GB HDD navigation system is also available
as either a port-installed option or as a dealer accessory.
Safety Features
Standard safety features in all Lancer models include an advanced
dual front air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) with occupant
sensors, standard front seat-mounted side-impact air bags and side
curtain air bags, plus a driver's knee air bag.
Premium Warranty
The new 2009 model year Lancer Ralliart also comes with a fully transferable 3-year/36,000 mile "bumper-to-bumper" new vehicle limited warranty. The Mitsubishi "3/36," limited warranty is in addition to a 5-year/60,000 mile power train limited warranty and a 7-year/100,000 mile anti-corrosion perforation limited warranty. In addition, all Mitsubishi models come with 5-year unlimited miles Roadside Assistance benefits.
