Meanwhile, the Lancer Evolution, a performance-focused variant, boasted a turbocharged 2.0L engine capable of delivering exhilarating performance. Notably, the Evolution's rallying heritage and impressive handling cemented its place as a formidable competitor in the world of performance cars.
The 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer series featured a range of significant advancements.

Interior design saw a welcome update, offering a more modern and comfortable cabin. The availability of safety features like anti-lock brakes (ABS) and airbags ensured driver and passenger protection. The Lancer Sportback, introduced in 2004, offered a practical and stylish alternative to the traditional sedan, boasting a spacious cargo area and versatile interior. The Lancer Evolution, however, remained the flagship model, boasting a robust powertrain, intricate all-wheel-drive system, and aggressive styling cues that captured the essence of its racing pedigree.
