The New Mitsubishi Evo Concept Is An Electric SUV-Coupe
In a move seemingly designed to enrage anyone with a soft spot for the amazing gas-guzzling Evo models of old, Mitsubishi has revived the name for a future-thinking battery-powered SUV-coupe
Well, there’s no easy way to break this to you, CTzens, but this SUV-coupe powered by electricity is the latest Mitsubishi Evo.
Specifically, it’s the e-Evolution Concept, which the company says “signals the start of an exciting new era which will see long-term growth and sustainable development for the brand.” In a short press release Mitsubishi confirms that the ‘signature’ four-wheel drive is there, but comes with more advanced AI and a ‘low-slung’ SUV-style body.
It’s marked for a debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in just over a month’s time. This teaser comes just a few days after Mitsubishi confirmed a platform-sharing partnership with Renault and Nissan.

Spotted this the other day. Gave me a heartbreak. This news further broke it.
Beautiful.
Ankara!!! :D
SUV-Coupés are simply the arch-nemesis of anybody with eyes.
Yeah it hasn’t really been done in a successful way yet.
The only good looking SUV-Coupe was the first gen X6.
NO. I will not let an evo be electric. Ugly
Exiting new era of non tunable “engines” and non manuals
Progress!!!!
i would prefer if this new vehicle would have a PHEV option (PHEV Outlander being a big seller is why i think this) and i guess a coupe suv is a bit of a gamble (but you never know!).
Cheers to another 100 years, Mitsubishi motors!
F*ck you Mitsubishi.
The worst thing it could possibly be
I think Mitsubishi made all petrolheads disappointed because of freaking electric motors! U should manufacture this evo /w an option for conventional petrol engine!
No. It’s the fact that it’s an electric SUV. If they made it ab electric rally/track monster, yeah people may get upset, but it’d still be closer to what the evo was. This is an SUV.
I love EVs but Mitsubishi is just imploding now
I’d love to see more pics, but That pic - Looks like a i8 and I REALLY like the i8 :)
