So they renamed Sunroof and Leather to Premium. They added heated mirrors and a lovely new cup holder with a lid. They added turn signals to the mirrors. The MR is basically getting most of the current premium package as standard. A few other little tweaks on the MR.

Contrary to rumors, motor trend says the seats are the same and so are the brakes. The press release only mentions the brakes though, so that might be a mistake. There are no pictures yet, the exterior pictures are recycled from past releases...

The heated mirrors as standard is a nice touch, I'll actually hold off on buying a 2014 for that if the seats aren't changed. The rest seems like fluff to hide they basically did nothing.

What's everyone else think?

 

Based on the official release of changes and descriptions of what are still standard features posted over in the "No recaros for 2015" thread, I stand by my judgement that the 2015 won't have them, because every other list of anything official from mitsubishi on past models has mentioned the recaros as an amenity.

As for the rest of the changes, yeah, fluff. If they really don't have recaros (which we won't know until a 2015 actually hits a lot) then I'm not sure I'd be happy if price stays the same.

 

New drop cup holders prob similar to these?

 

Will I be able to order and install those heated mirrors on a 2013 evo?

 

what a letdown. mitsubishi putting nail on its coffin. no recaro seats on the 2015 while with the same specs as the 2014 and 2013 shows recaros? it should read "Wake Up Mitsubishi! not Wake up and Drive!"

 

Canadian models already have heated mirrors which you can swap to. these new ones have turn indicators it looks like which might have aditional wireing in the harness.

 

this article mentions recaros

Braking for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution comes by way of Brembo brakes with four-piston calipers and 13.8-inch rotors up front and two-piston calipers and 13.0-inch rotors in back. The Evolution MR gains lighter two-piece rotors up front as well as Bilstein dampers and Eibach springs all around. While the Evolution GSR features cast Enkei alloy wheels, the Evolution MR features a set of forged Enkei alloy wheels. The 18 x 8.5-inch alloy wheels are shod in 245/40R18 Yokohama Advan tires. Inside, Recaro seats are standard with cloth or available leather

 

for me is like more the same. they should do something more different.

 

pretty sure it'll be similar to this, found in the GTI

 

"All 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution models gain heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals and a new cup holder with lid."

Alright a cup holder, with a lid! My 2014 GSR came with a lid, but I leave it open all the time.

 

No recaros according to the mmna website specs link. Compare specs of 2013/2014/2015. The recaros are not mentioned in the 2015 specs. Why mitsubishi?

 

So I guess I have to keep my search going on for a good priced used Evo X

 

You can now, the MR Touring has always had them.

 

I know that they don't even produce the seat parts anymore. Last time I needed a set of inserts, I had to get Mitsubishi japan to bust out the old plastic molds and press me a pair. Took a month and they came stapled in a plastic bag with Japanese on it

 

Oh and I bet the cup holder is the one from the 2014 Outlander. I was in there few weeks ago and saw the interior and the mount points looked very similar.
