Fine engine, junior Evo looks, 4x4 traction, storming cross-country pace, decent ride.
Unresolved SST gearbox, expensive to run, cheap-feeling interior, no conventional manual option.
Capable, slightly oddball all-wheel-drive alternative to a more conventional hot hatch.
Mitsubishi has achieved the full five stars for safety in recent Euro NCAP tests.
Both GS and GSR models gain six airbags and ESP as standard. There's also an Emergency Stop Signal System, which is intended to reduce the possibility of rear-end collisions by rapid automatic blinking of the hazard warning lights to alert cars behind during sudden braking. We think it's a little too eager to trigger during fast cross-country driving, but can imagine the benefits on a slow-moving M25.
Like the all-wheel-drive Evo, the Ralliart comes with a computer-controlled four-wheel-drive set-up that has three modes: Tarmac, Gravel and Snow.
