Mitsubishi’s stand in Geneva this year might’ve surprised a couple of people. If you visited it you noticed that they only had SUVs out on display and, furthermore, they seemed focused on electric stuff instead of traditional powertrains. That’s right, the Japanese are changing their ways.
The reason behind this showcase is that the current leadership of the company is leaving behind some rather iconic models to focus on crossovers and SUVs. Amongst those quickly forgotten cars lies the iconic Lancer for some reason.
In a recent interview with Car Advice, the Mitsubishi COO, Tetsuro Aikawa said that there are no plans on developing new sedans for now, all the efforts being focused on the like of the Outlander and other similar PHEVs and EVs.
“Unfortunately, for a while we are not planning any development of sedans. While I’m the president probably no introduction of the next-generation Lancer… we will continue to sell current Lancer,” he said.
