While searching for used sedans there is a reason the Mitsubishi Lancer is consistently a part of the conversation. Sold worldwide, there were over six million units produced between 1973 and 2008. Still sold in international markets, there are only used Mitsubishi Lancer for sale in Canada after the vehicle was discontinued so the company could focus on its SUV crossover lineup. Before the end of sales in North America, the sedan survived through nine generations available with a wide selection of trims, engines and styles.
The early generations of Mitsubishi Lancer
The first-generation Mitsubishi Lancer hit the market to bridge a gap in mid-sized sedans in the Japanese manufacturer’s lineup. Available in four body styles, including two and four-door sedans, a hardtop coupe, and a station wagon, these early models set the stage for a storied history of the popular vehicle. A second-generation model was launched for the 1997 model year when the two-door sedan style was dropped from production. Often sold under the name Dodge Colt, the Mitsubishi Lancer would undergo seven generational redesigns between 1973 and 2003.
Later generations of the Mitsubishi Lancer
A heavily redesigned version of the Mitsubishi Lancer was introduced for the vehicle’s eighth generation in 2002. Still available in sedan or station wagon models, this new version was considered the successor to the Mitsubishi Mirage. The ninth and final generation available in Canada was in production between 2007 and 2017. Available in a series of trim levels, a five-door hatchback version was also added to the lineup in 2009. The most modernized option for a used Mitsubishi Lancer is the 2016 facelifted option that incorporates chrome trimming.
