Does the 10th generation Evo have a manual transmission?
2 Answers
Ten generations of Evo have manual transmission models, but manual transmission models are very rare. In China, automatic transmission models are more common. The automatic transmission of the 10th generation Evo is a dual-clutch transmission, which is a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. Evo is a compact car under Mitsubishi. Lancer Evolution (Lancer Evo, Lancer Evolution) is a four-door high-performance sedan produced by Mitsubishi Motors of Japan in the early 1990s. It is a representative Japanese turbocharged sports car, usually referred to as LE, Lancer Evo or Evo. Currently, the 10th generation has been released, and each generation of Evo is represented by a capital Roman numeral. The entire Evo series is equipped with a 2-liter turbocharged engine and a four-wheel drive system.
Yes, the tenth-generation Evo did indeed come with a manual transmission. I remember it offered a 5-speed manual gearbox option, which was particularly thrilling to drive. As an old car enthusiast, I love the control feel that a manual transmission brings—shifting gears on high-speed corners and stomping on the throttle delivers that direct feedback, which is just exhilarating. The tenth-gen Evo, produced from 2007 to 2016, is a classic model, and the manual version preserves its rally heritage in a traditional way. Compared to the automatic's dual-clutch transmission, it’s more raw but also more pure. Although the car is now discontinued, manual versions are relatively rare in the used car market. If you find a well-maintained one, it’s absolutely worth collecting. Driving it requires some skill, otherwise city traffic can be a bit tiring, but the fun far outweighs the effort. I’d recommend beginners practice a few times to get comfortable—once you’re familiar, it’s easy to handle, and the fuel efficiency isn’t bad either. Overall, the manual transmission brings the Evo closer to the essence of driving as an art form. Taking it for a spin on mountain roads is pure enjoyment.
