The 2009 update for the Mitsubishi Lancer GT or Lancer 2.0 GT was just released by Motors Malaysia in addition to an update of the 2.4 liter Grandis. Just as previously revealed, the newly revised Lancer GT features an updated front end that was debuted on the Lancer Sportback.

What’s new on the updated Lancer is a brand new front featuring a bolder front grille with a chrome outline for Mitsubishi's signature "jet-fighter" grille, a reminiscence of iconic Lancer Evolution style as well as a reprofiled bumper.

The interior is pretty much the same as before. There are automatic climate control, a 6-speaker CD/MP3 sound system with steering wheel controls as well as a multi-information display being added to part of the inventory list of the new interior. The new update version also features in dual two-stage front airbags, ABS, EBD, disc brakes all-round, Nappa leather seats that fold 60:40.

But the news is, all seven seats and door inserts are now trimmed with black combination leather for a plush feel, while the steering wheel and gear knob are now wrapped in black leather. Stylish scuff plates certainly add a touch of class to the cabin.

The Lancer GT updated version continues to be powered by the 2.0 liter 4B11 engine which produces 155 PS and 199Nm of torque, matched to an INVECS-III CVT transmission with paddle shifts that allow you to switch between the CVT’s 6 predefined virtual ratios.

Meanwhile the vehicle also gets a new body kit comprising extensions on the front and rear bumpers in addition to side skirts that match the 17-inch alloy wheels very much perfectly. Door visors on all four doors complete the exterior changes.

In fact, there are new shades though, solid white, and this joins Black Mica and Red Metallic as the three available colours for the Lancer GT.
