CYPRESS, California — Mitsubishi announced on Wednesday that its highly anticipated Lancer Evolution MR will arrive in U.S. showrooms in June. This word finally dispels the vagueness in the timing of the Evo MR's release, said to be connected to delays in the advanced MR's tuning.
Mitsubishi has also moved beyond what it characterized as conservative estimates of the Evo MR's pricing. The top-of-the-line model will start at $38,940, including a $650 destination charge. Expect to pay $41,490, including shipping, for the Evo MR with the optional technology package. The previous Lancer Evo IX sedan started at $28,679 for the base car, and $35,189 for the MR trim.
Mitsubishi said the optional technology package includes a 30-GB hard drive navigation system with music server, a 650-watt Rockford Fosgate premium sound system, prepaid Sirius Satellite Radio capability and Fast Key entry, which allows passive vehicle unlocking and engine start/stop via a carried remote control and a sensor on the door handle.
The MR model gets Mitsubishi's new six-speed twin-clutch Sportronic shift transmission.
