Lancer Evo X is available in two trim levels namely entry-level GSR and MR upgrades. Entry-level GSR is offered with a five-speed manual transmission, Recaro Sport seats and Enkei wheels, as well as the optional spoiler, HID lights, and sound system upgrades.
The S-AWC system, which regulates torque and braking at each wheel includes a bevy of acronyms: ASC (Active Stability Control), ACD (Active Center Differential), AYC (Active Yaw Control) and Sport ABS, an ABS system designed for aggressive driving. Safety measures include the Reinforced Impact Safety Lancer Evo (RISE) unibody system to disperse energy in front and side impact collisions and protect the fuel system from rear impact, and front and side impact air bags, plus a driver's knee air bag.
The Lancer Evo X SE packs the same TC-SST transmission as its 335i-challenging sibling, complete with three driving modes – Normal, Sport and Super-Sport – channeling all 291 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque to its S-AWC all-wheel drive system.
Inside, cloth Recaros come standard – our preferred choice compared to the MR's leather-lined thrones.
The entry-level Symposium is offered with a five-speed manual transmission, Recaro Sport seats and Enkei wheels and optional spoiler, HID headlights, and upgraded sound system.
The Lancer Evo X was introduced as a concept at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2005. This was designed by Omer Halilhozdic. Now, Mitsubishi gears up to launch the tenth-generation of the Lancer, the Lancer Evo.
The new Outlander and the to-be-launched Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X have a similar front grille and styling.
The new 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X SE (Special Edition) goes on sale this September, priced from $36,445 (including a $745 destination charge).
Other key performance components carried over from the top-of-the-line MR edition to the SE include the high performance suspension package that employs Eibach springs and Bilstein shock absorbers, xenon headlights, two-piece Brembo front brake rotors and also the MR’s lip spoiler. Inside, cost cutting sees heated cloth Recaro seats fitted as standard and the navigation system made optional.
