Latest info I have seen is late March, early April. Looks to come in two variants, GSR and MR although the MR hasnt officially been named that in Oz yet.

Price wise $60K for the GSR and $70K for the MR. The MR includes some extra trickery like the MR version of the previous models such as Bilstein shocks etc.

Yes potentially there are some mechanical differeneces, article:

A second model, which may be branded the Lancer Evolution MR - though Australian naming has yet to be finalised - will cost around $69,000. In addition to the GSR equipment list, the MR will add lighter Enkei alloy wheels (said to save 3.7kg overall), race-ready suspension (Eibach springs and Bilstein dampers) and a high-performance two-piece front brake disc.

Mitsubishi Australia is still putting the final touches on price and specification levels, so it's not known if both models will come standard with the five-speed manual transmission, or whether the higher spec MR will get the new TC-SST semi-automatic gearbox, complete with two computer-controlled clutches.

I went to the launch of the EvoX last year with Matt Lowth and a few others. Car looks pretty good. The MR is going to kick ass over the standard EvoX though. The interior is just so much nicer. DSG style shifting and paddle shifting is also very cool.

I think I posted some pics up in a thread awhile ago.

So u gonna get one Leewang?

Nah, not getting one. After looking at it more carefully, even though the interior is prettier and it's got more safety stuff, it's too heavy and I think a IX would still be a better car for our kind of usage.

For an all rounder though, the X MR will be an ace car.

    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
