In 2003 Mitsubishi introduced a facelifted version for the seventh Lancer, and its station wagon version received the updated package as well.
While the Lancer mainly was known for its Evolution lineup, the Japanese carmaker offered the compact vehicle in a more family-friendly version: the station wagon. Like its three-box sedan sibling, it was also available with the turbocharged all-wheel-drive system for specific markets. Still, mostly it was sold as an economical, front-wheel-drive vehicle.
The new look showed curved triangular headlights and a smiling grille split in half by a vertical slat that featured the chromed Mitsubishi badge. Its front bumper sported a wide and slim grille flanked on the sides by side-scoops for the fog lights. The Japanese carmaker built the vehicle with similar shapes up to the B-pillar, but it featured a roof extended over the trunk area, with a set of windows behind the rear doors. At the back, the tailgate was flat and vertical to maximize the interior space.
Inside, the carmaker installed a curved dashboard with a raised area for the instrument cluster. Its white dials with red needles resembled those from a sports car, even though it was just an economic station wagon. The center stack featured the CD radio and the climate control dials. At the back, Mitsubishi installed a 60/40 split-folding seatback, which expanded the trunk size from 400 liters (14.1 cu-ft) to 1,200 liters (42.4 cu-ft).
Under the hood, the carmaker installed a choice of three gasoline engines ranging between 96 hp and 135 hp. All versions were paired with a five-speed manual and sent the power to the front wheels only. The carmaker offered the Lancer Wagon in Evolution version, which pumped out up to 210 hp sent in all corners for selected markets.
