2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Car

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Mitsubishi has confirmed that its Lancer Evolution will bow out of the market after the 2015 model year, and at this point it’s not clear what will replace it. Mitsubishi has said in the past that any successor to the Evo will be very different to past generations of the car, with many suggesting it will be a hybrid car mitsubishi. 

Unfortunately, it may be several years still until we see a proper successor launched, as Mitsubishi has also said it won’t start development of such a car until it has suitable technology.


As for the final 2015 Lancer Evolution, there aren’t many updates to report on. The side mirrors are now heated and feature integrated turn signals, while a new drop cup holder with lid has been installed in the cabin.

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport- Gearing Up For Launch in India

Mitsubishi is all set to launch the Pajero Sport in India by February 2012. The news has been confirmed by Hindustan Motors MD, Mr. Manoj Jha. Mitsubishi had previously planned on unveiling and then going on to launch the new Pajero Sport in India at the upcoming 2012 Indian Auto Expo. However, the launch was delayed as the auto maker had to pull out owing to the floods in Thailand.

The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport will be assembled at Hindustan Motors-Mitsubishi’s Chennai manufacturing unit. The company is also planning to increase the localization of the SUV to price it competitively. It has placed it under the Rs. 20 lakh range so that it can give fair competition to Toyota’s Fortuner and Ford’s Endeavour amongst others.

The all new Mitsubishi Pajero Sport will have a 2.5-litre, 16-valve intercooled turbocharged CRDI diesel motor capable of producing peak power of 135 Bhp and 320 Nm of peak torque. The engine is likely to be mated to either a 5 speed manual transmission or a 5 speed automatic transmission. Interestingly, Mitsubishi’s tried and tested Super Select 4 WD is expected to be standard on the Pajero Sport. The Pajero Sport will also come as a 7 seater and is expected to be a capable off-roader. Further details will be announced shortly.

The Pajero Sport will arrive in India as a completely knocked down (CKD) kit from Thailand. The CKD kits will be assembled at Mitsubishi’s Chennai assembly unit. It will have competition in the premium SUV segment with the best selling Toyota Fortuner SUV and the 2012 Chevrolet Captiva which is also gearing up for a launch in the coming months. The Pajero Sport will join the party with the much in news Endeavour. The new SUV from Mitsubishi will be a sales puller if it manages to position the entry level Pajero Sport at a decent Rs. 1-1.5 lakh below the soon to be launched 2012 new Toyota Fortuner.

Mitsubishi Published Prototype-S Photos

The Geneva Motor Show is just around the corner and already, automakers are whetting our appetite with photos of vehicles they would unveil at the prestigious event. Recently, The Auto Channelpublished a photo of the Mitsubishi Prototype-S which will be unveiled in Geneva next month.

One look at it and you would easily see its resemblance to the 2005 Mitsubishi Sportback concept car. The grille and the overall profile of the Prototype-S is similar to that of the Sportback.

One styling cue that screams at you is the jet fighter nose. That gaping hole-like in the nose looks very much like the ones on jet fighters of old. The Prototype-S styling of the grille though is not similar to that of the Sportback as it has been modified for the new concept car.

The bonnet is not taken from the Sportback concept. Instead, it bears resemblance to the hood on the Lancer Evolution X, the EVO as we call it. The hood gives the Prototype-S an aggressive stance which makes it look like a race-prepped car ready to spring into action at any given moment.

At the back, Mitsubishi improved on the Sportback by giving the Prototype-S a sportier stance. The rear of the car looks wider thanks to its tail lights which hugs the side of the car.

Naturally, auto enthusiasts would have to wait for a long time before they can get their hands on this Mitsubishi road rocket. I am expecting that it will not only look like a fast car but will also be really a fast car. With Mitsubishi's penchant for producing high-performance cars,

Mitsubishi Evolution X Officially Launched In Malaysia

Equipped with the latest automotive engineering technology, the new Lancer Evolution showcases an all-new engine. The new Lancer Evolution draws exhilarating power from the redesigned lightweight 4B11 2.0 litre MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve-Timing Electronic Control) Twin Scroll Turbocharged Engine with an aluminium block producing an increased power of 291bhp (295 PS) and an impressive torque of 366Nm.

“With a history spanning over three decades rooted in racing heritage, the new Lancer Evolution is reliving a new generation as Mitsubishi Motors’ flagship model and a symbol of Mitsubishi sports DNA. The development of the new Lancer Evolution is a profound process of passion and emotion from start to end as Mitsubishi Motors’ engineers strive to balance form and functionality while remaining true to the car’s heritage, ” said Mr Keizo Ono, Chief Executive Officer of Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia.

“For the very first time, the Twin Clutch SST gearbox is introduced in the Lancer Evolution. Combining superior performance and the convenience of an automated manual transmission, the new Lancer Evolution is no longer just about speed enjoyed by enthusiasts. Instead, this new technology will appeal to a wider market and impress just about anyone who drives it. It is now more impressive – both performance and a road car with more space, comfort and safer than before,” continued Mr Ono.

“Delivering peak performance with true racing technology, the creation of the new Lancer Evolution is indeed a milestone. The birth of the new Lancer Evolution is not just for Mitsubishi Motors, but for everyone who loves high-performance cars that are both functional and stylish. Therefore I am very proud to say that the new Lancer Evolution is now both a reality and a Mitsubishi Motors’ flagship,” said Mr Kojiro Asai, Manager, Asia & ASEAN A Department of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation of Japan.

An exclusive feature and an all-new development is the advanced 6-speed Twin Clutch SST (Sport Shift Transmission). The Twin Clutch SST is an automated manual transmission that employs dual clutches to deliver slicker shifting through the gears while also providing efficient power transmission for outstanding fuel economy. The Twin Clutch SST in the new Lancer Evolution allows the driver to choose from three different control modes – Normal, Sport and S-Sport – to cater to varied driving situations.

Delivering a dynamic driving experience to the new Lancer Evolution is the S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control) – an advanced vehicle dynamics control system that integrates precise management of its ACD (Active Centre Differential), AYC (Active Yaw Control), ASC (Active Stability Control) and Sport ABS (Sport Anti-lock Brake System) to execute high-precision control over the vehicle.

As a symbol of Mitsubishi Motors DNA, the engineers at Mitsubishi Motors spared no efforts in redesigning the suspension of the new Lancer Evolution – the result is a new suspension system equipped with Brembo ventilated disc brakes, Eibach coil springs complete with Bilstein shock absorbers, 18-inch BBS lightweight alloy wheels, MacPherson-strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. All these to provide increased stability, enhanced steering response, better control and optimum safety.

There is no other more important function of a car than to ensure the safety of its occupants and with the Lancer Evolution, safety is not something that is added but integrated into the car at an integral level. Built around Mitsubishi’s cutting edge RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) structure, the body is designed to redirect force from reaching the cabin, ensuring maximum crash protection from all sides of the car. For added protection, the new Lancer Evolution comes with a 7-Airbags System – driver and front passenger SRS airbags, side and curtain airbags and driver knee airbag.

ELR seatbelt with pre-tensioner and force limiter and HID (High Intensity Discharge) head lamps with AFS (Adaptive Front Lighting System) come standard on the new Lancer Evolution.

Every detail of the new Lancer Evolution has been designed as part of the total driving pleasure. Reflecting a lineage that made winning impressions worldwide, the new Lancer Evolution crafts a handsome and functional exterior styling for optimum aerodynamic performance. Its stylish and sleek bodylines, coupled with ample airdams and large rear spoiler works in tandem for maximum control.

The Lancer Evolution with a complete premium package comes with Recaro full bucket front seats, multi-mode information display, genuine leather-wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel with mounted audio controls and cruise control buttons and a 9-speaker Rockford Fosgate Premium Sound System. Other functional features include keyless operating system and sunroof.

With the introduction of the new Lancer Evolution, Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia aims to sell 50 units till end of 2008. Owners are assured of an excellent after-sales support and are provided with “Mitsubishi Assist 24” card which offers a host of privileges including 24 hour roadside assistance.

The Lancer Evolution X will be available at selected Mitsubishi Motors showroom from 22 August 2008 onwards.

Full Review

Exterior

The earlier pajero models before 2009 were having a bit truck lick structure but now mitsubishi had overcome this issue.

 Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Interior were a thing of worry for the pajero models launched before 2009 . Now mitsubishi had too overcome that problem And had launched 2.8sfh,&3.2di-d with a blast, The interior colour of earlier as well as the recent models are just Ahhhhh...

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

All The pajero models including the 2.8sfh,& 3.2di-d engine i suppose are the most powerfull engine in its class no debate there.

Now performance and fuel cannot go hand in hand if you expect a great performance then you should compramize on fuel economy & the other way out too. But still pajero offers you a decent mileage not the best but still a quite decent one.

Ride Quality & Handling

Very good looks ,a decent feul economy , Quality safety features ,Great seating capacity, most comfortable driving experiance car, A real quality car for a SUV experiance And why not should it be as its been launched by mitsubishi all credit to them, And thatzz all you need to e the most desired car in the market.

Areas of improvement  

 Cannot be suggested by me mitsubishi know its area of inprovement And had done the xpected jobs too from ages.
