2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Special Edition

2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Special Edition

2006 Mitsubishi Lancer sedan will soon get its own factory-built tuning package. The special edition SE trim will set you back for $16,099.

For this price you’ll get 15-inch alloy wheels, chrome door handles and color-keyed mirrors.

That’s not all, of course, as there will also be power glass sunroof, six-speaker stereo system and Alcantara seating surfaces.

The Special Edition is available in four exterior colors: Cool Silver, Graphite Gray, Igloo White and Labrador Black.

Don’t expect anything ground-breaking from the performance point of view, though.

The Lancer SE is powered by an anemic 2.0-liter, SOHC, 16-valve four-cylinder engine that features mere 120 hp at 5,500 rpm and only 130 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,250 rpm.

Although you won’t surprise anyone on the drag start-line, the power-plant is good enough to provide you with decent 34 mpg highway/27 mpg city with manual transmission.

At this time, the compact vehicle competes against the 2006 Ford Focus, Chevrolet Cobalt and Mazda3.
