2015 Mitsubishi Evolution X MR Review - The Last Evo
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The 2015 Mitsubishi Evolution X MR is the final model year for the Evo. The vehicle features a 2.0L I4 engine producing 291 HP and 300 lb-ft of torque, sent though a sophisticated AWD system called S-AWC which involves an active center differential and a torque vectoring rear differential. The MR features a 6 speed dual clutch transmission (DCT) with paddle shifters.
The Evo X has multiple transmission modes: Normal, Sport, and Super Sport where shift points and shifting speeds are altered. There are also various AWD modes including Tarmac, Gravel, and Snow.
NOTE: I'm told there is a USB port in the glove compartment. Thanks for pointing this out!
Other Features Include:
- 710 Watt Rockford-Fosgate premium sound system
- 10" subwoofer
- 6.1" touch screen
- BREMBO brakes
- Bilstein shocks
- Eibach springs
- BBS Forged Alloy wheels
- Active Yaw Control
MSRP As Tested: $41,805

For the first time in real life, we have an automatic transmission that works like Gran Turismo 1997.
Since i've read that you will be doing a follow up to clear things up on how the ACD works I moved this comment for easier access so you will have plenty of information to go off of which you may use if you want or ignore though it is a very good explanation on how it works. Looking forward to the new video. The ACD is a bevel-gear type center differential with a front/rear torque distribution of 50 : 50. The differential is controlled by an electrically controlled hydraulic multi-plate clutch. The ACD unit hydraulically controls the limited-slip locking state of the center differential which ranges between full locked, full open, and every point in between these two states. It calculates what the optimum locking amount would be using real-time input from the sensors and which ACD mode is selected. When the car is accelerating or decelerating rapidly, the ACD begins to engage the limited-slip locking on the differential. The harder you accelerate or decelerate, the more it locks. This is done to provide maximum lateral stability and wheel traction. The ACD allows the differential to operate in more of a free state when steering movements are made. When turning, the wheels in the front have to travel a further distance than the wheels in the rear. This is because the wheels in the front travel using a larger turning radius than the rear wheels as you can see from this picture. static.flickr.com/9/75406254_d439069b18.jpg?v=0 So in order for smooth turning, the center differential needs to become open to allow for the front set to turn at a different speed static.flickr.com/39/75406250_78fce86b5c.jpg?v=0 If the front wheels are spinning faster than the rear wheels, then the ACD begins to lock the clutches up. If the amount of force exerted by the front wheels is less than the amount the clutches resist, then the slip is stopped and both front and rear spin at the same speed. However, if the force the clutches can resist is less than the force exerted by the slipping set of wheels, then the wheels will slip, but only by how much remaining force the slipping wheels overpowered the clutches with. Despite popular belief, this switch DOES NOT change the torque split. The differential is geared at 50:50 and cannot be changed by the push of a button. What this switch actually does is quite simple. Each setting determines how long the ACD will delay in freeing the center differential after a steering input is made. In addition, it will determine how much locking force the ACD will exhibit on the clutch pack and center differential. TARMAC is the setting to be used in dry, paved conditions. In this setting, the ACD will almost immediately allow the center differential to go into a free state upon detecting a steering input. Additionally, this mode provides the strongest limited-slip clamping force of the three modes. GRAVEL is the setting designed for wet or loose roads. In this setting, the ACD will delay in freeing the center differential for a moment. Of the three modes, this one has the second strongest clamping force. SNOW is the setting designed for, you guessed it, snow. In this setting, the ACD will delay in freeing the center differential for much longer than the other two settings. Of the three modes, this one also provides the least amount of clamping power

I loved the demonstration of the different driving modes of the dual clutch transmission the MR has. No other review I've found has that! Thanks!!!
It's just a nice bonus from your videos that I often know the twisty roads you drive so well. Been up and down the gorge in my GTI many times. :)
I've got to say, I've owned this car for a year and I love it. I was bit by the mod bug immediately and started tuning it. First thing I did was remap the TC-SST to firm up the clutch engagement in normal mode. I reduced all values in the clutch pressure ramp rate tables and torque to throttle ramp rate inputs. This made it a lot more aggressive and the car puts a lot more power to the ground with no clutch slip (even in normal). I've now installed an MHI18k along with FBOs (AMS, K&N etc). No regrets not going GSR, the car is more of a sleeper now and less attention from cops.
Excellent review. Your comments are pretty much in line with what I've seen with my 2008 GSR, which is my daily driver. Still love the car, which has been reliable and particularly fun in the snow with the right tires. I don't know why Mitsubishi would discontinue this vehicle, as it is one of the only really truly great ones they make (IMO).
this is my REALISTIC car goal. This is my dream car...

I'm a Subaru guy all day long but I've always had a lot of respect for the Evo and am sad to see it go. The early-mid 2000s which saw the fight between Subaru and Mitsubishi were fun, exciting times. It's sad to see where Mitsubishi has ended up too, they used to build some great cars, hell even my dad's '03 Lancer OZ (all 120hp of it) was a great car. It's a shame really.
His words and attitude told me one thing about the car, his smile at 8:00 said so much more.

I just bough a red Evo X 2009 with 48,000 miles for 21,200 CAD so around 17k USD. I don't regret one bit, always put a smile on my face.
I've always dreamed of driving an Evo on an empty mountain road. I just hope there are some left by the time I can afford that chance.
Great Video. Sad to see that car go. It would be nice i you could get your hands on a Ralliart version of the lancer and compare it to the subaru counterpart. Thanks
It's about time that the Evo got a break. Hopefully it will return with new tech in it and get way better gas mileage. Same for the STI. There are big, heavy 5+ liter V8's getting the same and better MPG than these beloved AWD sports cars right now.
Sad to hear this is the last Evo, they are such beautiful cars

Cool little transition at 0:54 :)
I owned a 2005 STi and then moved on to a 2011 Evo GSR. I've also had a ForesterXT and still have a Legacy. Side to side, I really miss the 6spd MT in the STi. It was FAR better than the 5spd MT in the GSR. But handling in the GSR blows the STi away. I miss the boxer rumble under heavy boost with better flowing exhaust, but seems like the ELE manifold on newer designs gets rid of it anyhow. Anyhow I
Funny you mention about the tank size of the Evo, in the 8g Galants and 3g Eclipses that were a similar size, Mitsu had a 17 gallon tank. Those 2 -2.5 extra gallons would put the range at about the STi's
I'll let you know about the ignition - I have one of those on my Mazda - yes its a knob that you turn while not needing to pull your keys out of your pocket - and its easy to remove the knob with a standard key entry underneath in case keyless start doesn't happen (flat battery in remote or other fault). If it were a push button start and the battery went dead in the remote (or other fault) then you wouldn't be able to start your car. The method with the twist-knob is better in my opinion.

I'm just curious about on thing. For the Subaru STi, you stated that the torque was coming only at 4'000RPM and that the engine needed to be hold in high revs. What is not confortable for an everyday car. You mention for this car the sweetspot comes between 4'000 RPM and 5'000... do you have the same hole than the subaru on low revs ?
goodbye EVO. We will miss you Mr.Rally Art. Legands never die....
I was considering upgrading my evo ix to the 2015, but once I heard it was an automatic I switched and an STi. Now I know why the production stopped on the evo, STi > evo
Yeah the USB is in the top of glove box, it's a weird spot but there's a crack in the top so the wire can come out.
WE WILL ALL MISS THIS CAR!!
I still have a soft spot for the Evo IV... especially in the old rally colours xD
YES I've been waiting for this for weeks. More like a 30k$ drive-train with 10k car attached
I think the shift Jult in the trasmission was done on purpose to give a manual shift feel. ☺
+engineering explained so do evos come with a 6 speed MT also?
A car befitting an Emperor!
Is that Bridal Veil where you do your 0-60 tests?
I feel like the "last one" should be considered to be the UK FQ440 limited edition version. That's the one that will be considered the greatest X and the true final farewell vehicle.
I wish u were my teacher when i study engineering
A modern equivalent to the Galant VR4 would be cool maybe they could use the Nissan Altima as a base (considering they are going to start sharing stuff with Mitsubishi).
Need to pick up a final edition model
im still keeping mine idc how many years go by
Do you need different trans oil in the front and read diff also considering the LSD used ? What oil should be used ?
seems like all the fun is being taken from this world. ...
Was that a 0-60 pull onto I-84 by Multnomah Falls? I live about 20 minutes away :)
The usb port might be hiding in the glove box. You have to open the glove box to see it. It's really hard to find.
The reason the key fob can sits in your pocket but you still have the traditional ignition cylinder with a plastic thing in it is so it's easier for them to build in the factory - as the smart-key system was probably an option and they didn't wanna have to cut a hole in the dash for a push button start when there's already a hole there. In other words, they're just lazy.
Do you disable the speedo when you shoot? It's not reading in the video.
Ok for a car that goes from 0-60 in 5.2 seconds, is a 4 seater and has AWD getting 25 mpg on the highway and 17 mpg in the city is pretty awesome actually. I mean a brand new 2016 Camaro will do better but in the Northeast the Evo is way more practical for year round driving. The range is an issue though I agree should have a bigger gas tank.
What is STI gonna do alone in the market from now on?

Sad end to such a great car, although EVO IX was my favorite.
Seems like they've cut some corners on this final model. Sucks it's not a full manual. Sucks that it has a fair amount of drawbacks. But there's no denying that smile on his face when he was gunning it through corners. And that's what it's all about. Sayonara, Lancer EVO. Now who am I going to needlessly hate whilst driving my WRX? Ford Focus RS drivers, I guess...
About the torque split, it is 50-50 and it has the same hydraulic unit as the rear diff, it can do 100 % rear or front. And the body roll annoys me too, but a set of hotchkis sway bars and coilovers will fix the issue.

An open diff has a constant 50/50 split. This can alter the torque, that's why it's called an active center diff. I'm not sure why this is such a debated point.

I think the 80 percent front power split is incorrect. I studied their center diff designed back in 2008 when I bought my sti (long time ago can't believe), it's a mechanical diff split with 50/50 gears, so it's awd not like haldex which is fwd in principle. the active center diff is computer controlled clutch pack various the lock up, like sti, but without user control on the amount of lock up. I think it's locked up faster when set in gravel. its brochures says can send 100% torque to either front or rear axle not 50/50 when slips. just think it just locks up the acd and one axle is hanging in air the other is 100% torque.

I was trying to say if you believe me doing the research back then as I have no proof since they are long gone. there were so much misconception and wrong information flying around for the acd back then, and even the c&d article comparing 2005 Evo to sti saying Evo is basically 100% fwd until acd sent power to back, which is completely wrong (if that's the case Evo should have better gas mileage). the link I provided from evolutionm summarized the best on how acd works with great citations, and I remember looking at the transfer case diagram, which basically is a normal differential with computer control clutch pack limit the slip on the output shafts side. the side gears in the differential are the same, hence 50/50 split. I am not saying you are wrong. just very interesting someone in Mitsubishi engineering told you 80/20 split, which I haven't heard before. Either he is correct or wrong. Maybe something changed in the last 7 years to the car and I don't know, or all the research I did was incorrect. who knows....

That fuel economy is ridiculous! I fairly consistently get 28mpg in my 2002 WRX hatch.

+Jordan Druce I had a 2004 Impreza 2.5 TS, and I was getting about 23 mpg running back and forth to work. I got a bit over 30 a couple times on long highway drives.
Hey EE could I know what major did you study? I am doing engineering now and I am thinking about switching major within the engineering school. Thanks :)

+Dave Wu I went to school for mechanical engineering. But just so it's known, it's really a bunch of math, not explanations of how cars work. :)

I completely agree regarding the non-telescoping steering wheel observation/critique; it's a terrible design feature which only works for the shortest of drivers.
They're now making a hybrid evo xi - diesel-electric engine

Regarding the dimming of the displays with the lights on: My Mazda has the same thing, but you can toggle it full or dim.

+Rok Krznar Yep, but you can only alter it for the gauge cluster, not the infotainment in the Evo.
around 3:50 you see the steering wheel turn, but the paddle shifter's stay in place. Although they're probably long enough to where it possibly doesn't matter, that's a huge turn off for me.
The steering weel is not telescope because te shift paddle are attached to the column.
