The sixth-generation Mitsubishi Lancer (CK0 and CM0 chassis series) arrived in 1995. Characterized by cleaner geometric lines and revised proportions, the lineup centered around a four-door sedan, accompanied by a two-door coupe sold in North America as the Mirage Coupe. The chassis incorporated Mitsubishi's RISE safety cell structure and reduced curb weight through expanded high-tensile steel usage. Engineering of the Lancer VI (CK0) (factory code CK0) emphasized high structural rigidity, aerodynamic efficiency, and optimized interior spatial packaging. Built with reinforced body structures utilizing high-tensile steel alloys, the platform delivered reduced curb weight alongside improved occupant crash protection. The vehicle was distributed globally in multiple configuration packages designed to satisfy diverse market demands and regional regulatory specifications.

Engine offerings ranged from a entry-level 1.3-liter 4G13 to a 1.8-liter 4G93 inline-four, including early Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) variants. A 2.0-liter 4D68 diesel engine remained available in selected export territories. The Japanese market retained an AWD GSR trim powered by a 205-horsepower 1.8-liter turbocharged engine. A mid-cycle facelift in 1998 brought revised bumpers, trunk lid contours, and refreshed lighting clusters. The powertrain lineup incorporated efficient engine families paired with robust manual, automatic, or continuously variable transmissions depending on trim selection. Drivetrain engineering integrated advanced suspension tuning and traction management systems.
