Mitsubishi Evo Will Return…in Six Years
When Mitsubishi announced it would discontinue the Lancer Evolution, fans around the world sighed in disappointment, and when Mitsubishi began to show signs of a reemergence after Nissan bought a controlling stake in the company, many wondered if it would lead to the return of the beloved Evo badge. According to Trevor Mann, Mitsubishi’s global […]
Mitsubishi Reveals Surprise 2017 Lancer Limited Edition
Mitsubishi Lancer production will end this coming August but not before the car gets the appropriate send-off. Mitsubishi has just announced a surprise Limited Edition trim level for the long-running sedan, offering one last special package for customers seeking to get their hands on the car before it no longer becomes available—a bit like the […]
Meet the 8-Second Mitsubishi Evo X
For all his talk of 10-second cars, maybe Dominic Toretto should have given the Mitsubishi Evo X a try rather than his usual Dodge-sponsored American muscle car. The Evo X is getting fairly old by now. Production was discontinued in May 2016 but the car ran on the same platform for nearly a decade. It […]
Could the Mitsubishi Montero Make a Comeback?
Of all the Mitsubishi vehicles that have been speculated could make a return to the United States market following Nissan’s acquisition of the company (including the Lancer Evo sports car and the Triton pickup truck), perhaps none are as likely to actually do so than the Mitsubishi Pajero. The Pajero is an SUV that was […]
Meet the Long-Awaited 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
We knew it was coming, and now it’s finally here: the 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, which has been teased for what seems like forever, has just made its international debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show and looks to strengthen Mitsubishi’s SUV credentials. The Eclipse Cross—notoriously named such after the company’s discontinued sports coupe—will be positioned […]
Mitsubishi Lancer Lives On as ‘Grand Lancer’ in China and Taiwan
The Mitsubishi Lancer apparently refuses to die. The Sportback version was discontinued in 2014 and the Evo in 2015, though not before the Evo Final Edition was sold in 2016. The regular Lancer is slated to stop production this August. Surely that would mark the definitive end of the Mitsubishi Lancer, right? Nope! Say hello […]
The History of Mitsubishi at the Chicago Auto Show
With attendance consistently exceeding the 1 million mark, the Chicago Auto Show is the biggest auto show in North America—but given Mitsubishi’s somewhat low-key presence on this side of the Pacific, it’s perhaps no surprise the Japanese automaker has only appeared seven times in the show’s 107-year history. In this article, we’ll go over every […]
Say Goodbye: Mitsubishi Lancer Production Ends This Year
The beloved Lancer Evolution was killed off last year and now it’s the regular Lancer’s turn on the chopping block. Speaking to Motor1, Mitsubishi North America Executive VP Don Swearingen said the automaker had no plans to launch another compact sedan in the United States and that production of the Lancer would end this August. […]
1995 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo II RS in Original Condition Needs New Owner
The last Mitsubishi Lancer Evo Final Edition has been sold and Mitsubishi has no plans to build a new Evo, but that doesn’t erase the car’s prestigious heritage or the fact that some of the older models are some of the most coveted classic sports cars in the world. If you’re on the market for […]
Mitsubishi and Nissan to Share All EV Tech
Following the $2.3 billion acquisition of Mitsubishi by Nissan-Renault, the big question for the automotive conglomerate, which is now among the top three in the world on a production basis, has become “now what?” While Mitsubishi sales have gone better than expected in the United States, the automaker hasn’t done much to make itself stand […]
Spied: Next-Generation Mitsubishi ASX
We’ve known the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, along with the regular Outlander upon which it is based, would enter a new generation for the 2018 model year, but as of yet we’ve had no idea what it would look like. Now we know…sorta. The 2018 Mitsubishi ASX (the UK’s version of the Outlander Sport) was spied […]
2017 Mitsubishi ASX Starts at £15,999 in the UK
In the United States, we have the Mitsubishi Outlander and the Outlander Sport. In the United Kingdom, so do they—but for whatever reason, they’ve done away with the Outlander Sport name and went with Mitsubishi ASX instead. Either way, it’s the same vehicle: a family-friendly SUV that fills the role of the “small, sporty, and stylish” […]
Mitsubishi and Ram are Back to Trading Trucks
Mitsubishi and Chrysler have a long and convoluted history, and that’s an understatement. If one were to briefly skim the history of Mitsubishi models, one would be excused for quickly getting lost in an ocean of Colts and Plymouths and Lancers, all with names seemingly interchangeable. And now they’re back at it again: Ram has […]
Want to Save Mitsubishi, Nissan? Bring Back the EVO
In 2014, Mitsubishi announced that the beloved Lancer Evolution would be discontinued. While most fans were distraught, some were unsurprised: the EVO had remained largely unchanged for several model years in the United States and Mitsubishi was struggling to stay afloat. So Mitsubishi decided to ditch the low-volume performance car and raise revenue by focusing […]
Mitsubishi-Nissan Alliance Could Lead to a New Lancer
In a column for Automotive News, Mitsubishi’s soon-to-be new chairman Carlos Ghosn had a lot to say about “identifying synergies” between Nissan and Mitsubishi, as well as “targeting synergy benefits,” “unleash[ing] potential synergies,” and really a whole lot of things dealing with synergy. Even though it may sound like meaningless business-speak, it makes sense coming from […]
Mitsubishi Design Boss Says Production Models are Finally Coming
If you’ve kept up with Mitsubishi news at all in the last year, you’ve no doubt seen that its recent history is full of concept vehicles and mostly devoid of actual new production models. Most notably, there was the XR-PHEV Concept shown at the 2014 Tokyo Motor Show, the GC-PHEV Concept at the 2015 Chicago […]
Mitsubishi’s Concept Craze Continues in Paris with GT-PHEV
After axing the Lancer Evo, Mitsubishi made it clear that its future would be full of SUVs and crossovers, which is not surprising given that the Outlander and Outlander Sport have consistently been the best-selling models in the Japanese automaker’s lineup. Mitsubishi continued to hint at that future at the 2016 Paris Motor Show, where […]
Explained: Where do Mitsubishi Models Get Their Names?
Mitsubishi has surprisingly convoluted and complicated names for the models in its lineup, given how few there are—or at least, it used to. Specifically, Mitsubishi used the “Mirage” and “Colt” nameplate across a variety of models, some of which were also used by Chrysler during the two automaker’s alliance, which means that, if you were […]
