The New Mitsubishi Evo Concept Is An Electric 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.

As long as it has 350+ bhp, I’ll be happy…

Whats next?
A luxury suv called 3000gt?

You know what, I don’t mind that they call it the Evo. The Evo that we love died a few years ago. We know that these new Evos aren’t the sports sedans of those days. And they aren’t trying to sell it as a AWD sports coupe, so stop whining about the name
