Mitsubishi’s chief designer Tsunehiro Kunimoto has suggested that the Mitsubishi e-Evolution Concept from the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show could evolve into the next-gen Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback. As depicted in the rendering, the next-gen Mitsubishi Lancer hatchback could have an offbeat design.

Tsunehiro Kunimoto told AutoExpress:

“Just because it’s C-segment doesn’t mean it has to be a very conventional hatchback. Maybe we can create a new type of hatchback vehicle. We’re thinking quite radically. Originality is as much a part of the Mitsubishi design philosophy now as consistency.”

The next-gen Mitsubishi Lancer will likely ride on the CMF-C/D platform and share components with other Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance vehicles falling in the same class. It is yet unknown whether Mitsubishi has planned a sedan version for a wider acceptance in markets outside Europe.
