Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X Pricing
September 24, 2007 by Alborz Fallah
Previous reports had suggested the price of the new Evo X may rise to anywhere between $70-$80,000, however with the launch of the new-generation rally legend getting closer and closer, Mitsubishi insiders have told CarAdvice the company is keen to keep the price to more realistic levels.
A source inside Mitsubishi told CarAdvice the RRP should stay “within 2-3% of the current price ($56,789)“. This would also mean Subaru’s all new STi should remain in a similar price bracket to compete.
The sub-60k RRP for the new Evo X is only a starting price as there will be two variants, one with a manual gearbox and the other with a dual-clutch (DSG style) automatic gearbox.
In other news, car fans attending next month’s Australian International Motor Show (Sydney) will be delighted to see the new Evo X on display alongside two Ralliart Lancers (GSR).
Rumours suggest Mitsubishi will begin a pre-sale campaign at the show.

Gee, what a surprise :rolleyes
Though, until it’s confirmed I’m not getting too excited.
Any news on the SatNav options for the Lancer range?
Front looks quiet agressive and impressive. The rear is a bit of a let down.
LOLz, I was expecting big Mr.Bishi to keep the price down. Honestly, I thought people would have picked that up when they started removing items which were on the original prototype. Also, to answer your question capncrunch, the optional Rockford Fosgate 8/10 speaker all in one unit includes sat nav as well as a 20gb hard drive. That thing is the shizit IMO, RF is comparable to bose and B n O in terms of design, sound quality, and price. A great unit.
People cant complain and if they do they have personal issues.
The Evo X will be best vehicle of its kind in the world, as usual and most consumers purchasing one wont be discouraged by the brilliant sub 60k price tag nor will the lack of SatNav be of concern, though at this stage its merely speculation that it wont be an option.
Features have been improved and added compared to the Evo IX and a possible 2% price increase is expected.
Of course all Concept vehicles exibit features that will not be available on the end model and to change the concept headlamp display is something everyone can live with.
This is a “drivers car” and its brilliance CANT BE DENIED!
ROFL, what a porker. 5 speed box what a joke. It is going to be slower than the previous model. When the Evo X is cruising along and an STi or Clubbie overtakes it all that weight is gunna take some shifting. Lightning fast gear changes won’t count for much then. That weight won’t help the handling either.
the front of the car has a very sexy and aggressive and the back of the car does not look as good i would buy it
What counts at the end of the day is performance. Lets remeber what made this car famous, the wrc and its performance there so to between the evox and the wrx sti, my choice would be based on which one will perform better on race circuits, on the road and in the wrc.
how come????……im insane with all mitsubishi’s evoulutionz!!!!! and ive heard that it only cost 34000 or 35000!!!!!….is it true??
ever since ive seen the fast n furious movies ive been glued to the evo’s, i heard it was going to be around 35k ish mark from a diff website
wow the front look like Nissan Skyline R34 but the rear is so ugly decent car…. for $70k? No thanks.
