Looking for something sportier than the average hatchback without sacrificing everyday practicality? This 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR Sportback delivers exactly that.

Paired with a CVT automatic featuring 6-speed sequential sports mode, it's comfortable around town but still gives you the option to take control when you want a more engaging drive.

Picture this:

Easy commuting during the week.
Plenty of room in the back for shopping or weekend gear.
A hatch that's practical enough for everyday life.
Then a winding road where that bigger 2.4L engine makes things a little more interesting.

Punchy 2.4L petrol engine
CVT automatic with 6-speed sequential sports mode
Sportier GSR specification
Five-door Sportback practicality
Sporty exterior styling
Comfortable five-seat interior

Daily commuters
Couples
Small families
Weekend driving
Anyone wanting practicality without driving something boring

The Sportback body is a big part of the appeal. You get the sporty character of the Lancer with the convenience of a hatchback, making it much easier to live with when you need to carry larger gear.

And with the 2.4L engine under the bonnet, the GSR has a bit more punch than your typical economy-focused hatch.

Sporty.
Automatic.
2.4L.
Practical five-door hatch.

If you're looking for a car that's fun enough to enjoy but practical enough to use every day, this Lancer GSR Sportback is definitely worth a test drive.
