A new Motor Trends report indicates that the next-generation Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution will go plug-in hybrid. We saw a glimpse of what a hybrid Evolution might offer when the PX-MiEV concept made its way to Tokyo. The production version will be based on the concept’s platform.
The Lancer Evolution XI will feature a 2.0-liter MIVEC turbo four-cylinder engine worth an estimated 320 hp paired with an electric motor from the i Miev. The motor will power the front wheels under most standard driving conditions and, when needed, the engine will kick in some rear-wheel assistance.
The result will be a combination of power and efficiency, boosting mileage through a several-mile electric-only range while delivering a solid 0 to 60 mph time of 4.5 seconds.
