Mitsubishi built the Lancer as a Colt version and evolved into a distinct vehicle range that included a coupe and a station wagon.
By 1991, the Lancer was already a known name on several markets. The Japanese carmaker introduced the station wagon in 1992, using the same platform as the Colt, but with entirely different bodywork. It wasn't that supermini hatchback anymore but evolved into a family car.
With its narrow front end and the horizontal headlights, the Lancer Wagon/Combi featured a thin grille that sported the Mitsubishi badge in the middle and a plastic, wrapped-around bumper. On the apron, the carmaker placed a taller and broader grille to enhance the engine cooling. As a station wagon, the car featured a straight, extended roof. Its raked-forward tailgate diminished the car's trunk but enhanced its look.
Inside, the '92 Lancer was the first to show rounded shapes and curved lines. Its predecessor was more on the wedged style. Its instrument panel featured a large speedometer in the middle and a tachometer on its left side. On the right dial, the carmaker installed the coolant temperature and the fuel level gauges. The center stack hosted the ventilation controls and the tape player. In the cabin, it was room for up to five adults, with a split-folding rear bench. With the seats up, the trunk could host up to 470 liters (16.6 cu-ft) of luggage, while with the rear seats folded, it increased to 1,399 liters (49.4 cu-ft).
Mitsubishi installed a choice of three engines under the Lancer Wagon's hood, depending on the market, and paired them to a five-speed manual.
