Japanese market Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X receives minor changes
Mitsubishi has announced some changes for the 2010 model year of the Lancer Evolution X. At the moment these changes only affect the Evolution X sold in Japan and it is unclear if the updated Evolution X will reach our shores.
Exterior wise, the ‘Evo’ has received thicker side skirts while the plastic parts up front (around the front bumper) are now collectively lighter by 1.5 kg. This should improve power to weight ratio but Mitsubishi did not reveal performance figures for the 2010 model. On the inside, the trim has been tweaked and there is a new colour LCD screen that is nestled between the speedometer and tachometer. The screen features better readability and offers more functions. Under the hood, the only update is the engine cover that is now made of resin, although the auto maker did not reveal the benefits offered by the material – perhaps weight reduction (like the bumpers, etc)?
Other updates includes a windshield with noise reduction properties, an improved cruise control function, “welcome lights” and “coming home lights” features that turn on headlights when entering and leaving the car at night as well as a one-touch window washer function with improved water atomization. Chrome rings have also been added to the air conditioning control knobs.
The 5-speed manual for the range-topping GSR Premium Edition model has been dropped. Instead, it only comes with a 6-speed dual clutch SST transmission. The 5-speed manual is now only offered with GSR and RS trim levels.
Pricing in Japan starts from 3,150,000 yen (about RM 116,000) for the RS and tops out at 5,071,500 yen (about RM 186,000) for the GSR Premium Edition.
Look for more images after the jump.

it’s a pity those prices won’t be applicable here….. such injustice…..
October 26, 2009 @ 2:52 am
If Japan is selling over RM100k, Malaysia going to selling it at RM200k.
October 26, 2009 @ 2:55 am
coolllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!
October 26, 2009 @ 3:15 am
No, not RM200k but RM300+k
October 26, 2009 @ 3:36 am
200k is nowhere near lah…definitely around 300s
the beautiful car is spoilt by the ‘helang’ i see on the road IMO
October 26, 2009 @ 5:47 am
only one variant of the Evo X is available here.abt rm300k.well,if u wanna cheap price,then go to Japan n stay for 3 years la.that’s to avoid full taxation.not fully avoid taxation.
October 26, 2009 @ 7:43 am
We still waiting for Proton Malysian made Waja Lancer.
October 26, 2009 @ 8:09 am
how about fuel consumption, economy or not ?
October 26, 2009 @ 8:11 am
cantik.. no need to modified, the engine good technology and if the price rm150k to 160k memang laku laa…
October 26, 2009 @ 9:34 am
Bah.
Riceboy car. The Evo X sounds like an RC car on hotlaps… compared to the gasoline powered gatling guns below:
Real man’s full sized supercharged V8:

Or at the very least, a lil cheaper but with similar lap times to the EVO X:

422hp V8.
The low pitched rumble of these cars are awesome..stock from the factory.

Tuner kena pakai impreza la. Baru best..
p/s: Impreza kecik sikit, senang nak parking. EVO tak best, sama macam PDRM pakai…
October 26, 2009 @ 12:29 pm
kalau tuner kne la appreciate evo sbb rival impreza. baru la tuner sejati..kne hormat rival. so knapa dgn polis pakai evo? polis kt itali pon pakai lambo..x bes la lamborghini..mcm tuh?
p/s- myvi lagi sng nak parking dari subaru or evo. lamborghini x best, sbb polis itali pakai. LOL~
October 26, 2009 @ 12:53 pm
why EVO X in Malaysia dont have a full spec likes Japanese market 1?
we lack of projector headlamps and hid spec, as we can see at PDRM helang one..
harga mahal tapi tak bagi hid and projector headlamp..

err silap.. tanya la..

October 26, 2009 @ 2:40 pm
one of the better japanese makes with better designs and engines.
thank goodness proton collaborated with mitsubishi rather than T/H/N. why? my old silver proton saga 1.5 auto still in excellent running condition after 19 years.
i shudder to think if proton chose T/H/N, as we might be driving the same, god-knows-how-many-limited-editions-or-facelifts a model has to endure, without upgrading the engines and other specs.
looking forward to ‘wajalancer’.
October 26, 2009 @ 2:43 pm
if performance is ur main concern, buy this evo
else, wait la for waja replacement model
October 26, 2009 @ 3:49 pm
i’ll wait for the wa ‘lancer’ ja…

you are comparing sound from a 4 cylinder engine with a V8 engine. seriously??
October 26, 2009 @ 5:23 pm
3 000 000 yen actually not that ‘cheap’ quite pricey here even to japanese … … even the car is ‘cheap’ , cost of maintance here more that you could think .. at least you need to pay around RM2k at least to go for binually check-up before the JPJ here release a road-tax stamp for you … still thinking the car is ‘cheapo’ … lu pikir la sendiri
October 26, 2009 @ 5:25 pm
(about RM 116,000) for the RS and tops out at 5,071,500 yen (about RM 186,000) for the GSR Premium Edition.

October 26, 2009 @ 5:58 pm

I agree with 2718, boleh land all drive the tin can potong better, not so attracting to robbers, drive EVOX must transform to PDRM look, else may attract robber gang..

=============================================
Then just stay there. Be their citizen and don’t come back. No one needs ungrateful citizens. And don’t come here boasting around your salary. Have you heard of foreign exchange? Do you even know why “have RM5k better act like only have RM500?” What kind of retard statement is that?
Show us the pictures of your apartment and your Evo9. The fact that we own your so called tin-can potong cars doesn’t mean we have a terrible life. Me? I just prefer to enjoy my evening on my 1-acre backyard of my double storey detached house doing nothing.
October 27, 2009 @ 5:19 pm
Don’t worry, his Evo9 runs on underground tracks..
October 28, 2009 @ 2:12 am
if i can afford without thinking the resale value..will buy Lancer GT..
October 30, 2009 @ 8:38 am
Why there is no news about the upcoming Waja-Lancer, is it true or just a lie to spark interest on Proton….If not I’m gonna take other car, perhaps Kia Forte.

A moron’s comment, and history (if he reads) had proven that a ‘puny’ 6-inline can do 1,000bhp from the land of rising sun without blowing up the engine like they always do…and had to cast the Godzilla off Le Mans just to save their faces! Haha…
