For the new model year, Mitsubishi’s bad-boy Evo X will see a host of equipment upgrades. All models wear larger side skirts, blacked-out taillight surrounds, and minor interior tweaks. The instrument cluster now features a color LCD screen that combines trip counter, odometer, temperature and fuel gauges, and also displays S-AWC all-wheel-drive power distribution.
The big news is the addition of a Touring package for Evolution MR models. Springing for an MR Touring (pictured above and in the gallery) nets extra sound insulation, a powered sunroof, power and heated leather seats, and automatic wipers and headlights. The Evo’s massive rear wing is replaced by a more subtle trunk lip spoiler.
Prices climb slightly for 2010. An Evo GSR starts at $34,310, $600 more than last year. Prices for MR models are up $700 to $39,710, while the all-new MR Touring stickers at $41,710.
