Mitsubishi and its Indian partner Hindustan Motors have been dormant for too long in India. The only products that did well for them were the mid-size Lancer and the butch-looking Pajero. Other potent products like the Lancer Cedia, Montero and the Outlander managed to find not many takers.
In the coming months, HM-Mitsubishi is planning to regain its lost glory by introducing a number of cars into the Indian market, including the iconic Lancer Evo X. Lancer Evos have dominated the rally arena for the last few decades and Mitsubishi India is going to bank in on this stellar reputation to manage better sales in India.
Mitsubishi had plans of introducing the Evo IX (the Evo version of the Cedia sold in India) but as they had better priorities like getting rid of rodents in their factory, they chose to wait for the Evo X to come by.
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X, which was introduced in International market in October, 2007, is powered by 2.0 liter turbocharged, all-aluminum inline-4 engine which produces a monstrous 290 bhp. We expect the car to come with the advanced 6-speed Twin Clutch SST transmission with paddle shifts.
