The Mitsubishi e-Evolution is not a production engine but a concept vehicle unveiled in 2017, showcasing a fully electric powertrain with no internal combustion component. It features dual electric motors (one on each axle), a high-capacity lithium-ion battery, and Mitsubishi’s S-AWC all-wheel control system adapted for EV dynamics. Total system output is rated at approximately 230 kW (313 PS) with instant torque delivery and zero tailpipe emissions.
Developed as a design and technology showcase for Mitsubishi’s future EV direction, the e-Evolution was never homologated for road use and has no production variants. It demonstrates integration of AI-assisted driving aids, torque vectoring via twin rear motors, and a low-slung SUV coupe silhouette. As a concept, it meets no formal emissions standard but aligns with Euro 6-equivalent zero-emission principles through its all-electric architecture.
No reliability concerns or service bulletins exist, as the e-Evolution remains a non-production prototype. Mitsubishi has not released technical service documentation (TIS), parts catalogues, or ETK entries for this vehicle. Any powertrain data is derived from press materials and engineering disclosures at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show.
The e-Evolution is a concept vehicle with no type approval. It is not certified for road use and has no VCA or EU emissions classification.
The Mitsubishi e-Evolution is a concept all-electric SUV coupe unveiled in 2017, featuring a dual-motor AWD powertrain and advanced driver-assistance systems. It represents Mitsubishi’s vision for future EV performance and S-AWC integration but was never engineered for series production or regulatory compliance.

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation: e-Evolution Concept Press Kit (Tokyo Motor Show 2017)
The Mitsubishi e-Evolution is a standalone concept vehicle with no production derivatives or platform sharing. It was not engineered for series manufacturing and has no compatible models. While it influenced Mitsubishi’s long-term EV strategy, no production vehicle (including the Outlander PHEV or future EVs) uses its exact powertrain architecture.
The e-Evolution exists only as a show car. It can be identified by its aggressive SUV-coupe silhouette, suicide rear doors, full-width LED light bar, and absence of exhaust or fuel filler. No VIN or engine code is assigned. It is not listed in Mitsubishi ETK, TIS, or VCA databases.
No reliability issues are documented, as the e-Evolution is a non-functional or limited-function concept with no consumer deployment. Mitsubishi has issued no service bulletins, recalls, or technical advisories for this vehicle.
Analysis based solely on Mitsubishi Motors official press materials (2017). No technical service documentation, government filings, or field data exist.
