Mitsubishi has recently announced that they are getting ready to debut a hatchback version of their Lancer, probably to compete with Subaru’s Outback, in the US.

Having been on sale for some time now internationally, the US Lancer Sportback will come in two different versions.

First up is the car you will see mom’s taking their kids to soccer practice in, the Sportback GTS. Featuring a 2.4-liter 168hp 4-cylinder engine complete with either 5-speed manual, or automatic transmission.

Second up is for the established business man who wants some power but wants to keep it low key. The Sportback Ralliart features a 2.0-liter 237hp turbo charged 4-cylinder engine, AWD standard, and a six-speed, twin-clutch transmission. 

There’s no word on pricing yet, but chances are they will be priced around their sedan counterparts, around $20,000 for the GTS, and around $25,000 for the Ralliart.
