The 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer is an excellent choice for those looking for a powerful all-wheel-drive car without the usual steep price tag that accompanies it. With a starting price of $21,130, the 2017 Lancer is a sweet spot for bargain deals.
The base 2017 Lancer ES model is a five-seat sedan that comes standard with a continuously variable transmission that feels like an automatic. The all-wheel-drive system can be configured in three different settings in order to fit the driver's preference.
The 2017 Lancer can be configured into a two-wheel-drive car, sending power to its two front wheels, according to ABC News. This particular setting promises fuel efficiency. When the car is set to four-wheel-drive automatic, computers monitor the road and tire grip which then automatically set the power on each of the four wheels.
