The Ralliart gets an even more exclusive treatment, showcasing unique exterior and interior trim elements, along with satellite radio. Standard safety features on every Lancer include stability and traction control systems, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes with brake assist, a tire pressure monitor and seven airbags. New for 2012, a rearview camera system is now offered on the GT and Ralliart.The Mitsubishi Lancer carries over with minor changes for 2012. Revisions include new wheel designs, seat upholstery and instrument panel trim; additionally, the GTS trim has been renamed the GT. Big news for this model year is the introduction of a new SE trim with driver-selectable All Wheel Control (AWC).
