Hello to all!

I was planning to buy an Evo X. However all available info shows that the trunk of the Evo X is only 6.5 cu.ft = 195 lt, which is ridiculous for a car of its size, it's like a Mini Cooper or other similar car. CT9A Evos (VII-IX) were at ~400 lt, if I remember correctly, so it's 50% down. Unfortunately, this is a real stopper for me, since it would be the main car of the family, which includes a small daughter, hence 195 lt is simply inadequate (we barely manage with our current car's 285 lt). The regular Lancer is at about 400 lt as well, so how can it be that small for the Evo ? (OK, rear diff + battery + water, but -50% ?)

Can anybody provide feedback on this ? Photos of the trunk show it is a bit shallow...

PS. I understand that the primary target of this car is not moving around one's family. However it's too expensive to have it only for track-day use... Serious mistake from Mitsubishi, if it was supposed to be an "all-around", "daily driver" car...

Saw the car this week and YES the trunk is TINY.

It's as wide and high as a regular Lancer, but it is not deep at all (because of the windshield washer fluid and battery).

I can imagine the backseat will be the best place to put any luggages.

That DOES suck for you. I'm not happy about the small trunk either, but I have enough vehicles (including a truck) so it's not a big issue for me.

Wonder if things could be moved around to make up some free space?

FWIW though, the hinges are on the outside, which does help.

You are correct. The trunk IS SMALL! It's about half to one third the usable space of my last e46 M3.

However, you must remember that they moved both the battery and the washer-fluid resevoir to the trunk which is a big reason for the reduced capacity.

you can take out the 18" spare and foam under the floor board.

i can fit my stroller and my diper bag but thats about it. The trunk is so small.

Having problems with anal leakage, eh?

lol, j/k.

Can you post pics with those items in the trunk to see what kind of space they consume?

That could be a good start.

LOL but its all consumed and I dont have a big stroller.I will post some pics in a bit.

Yep, it's small as shit. I was very disappointed when I popped the trunk. Hatchback EVO in the future?

 

[DirectorSe7en]

The trunk is one of the most dissapointing things. It's alright though, I'll live.

 

[soopah]

I took a stroller to the dealer to test it in a Lancer first. That was too small for me. Too bad some find it too small. The STI hatch is an option, or roof racks for the Evo X. I'd suggest my car but they stopped making them for NA.

If you take out the spare replace it with a can of fix-a-flat.

 

[Robevo]

why everybody moaning? it is for the better weight distribution. You can't have everything.

 

[TRUSTcompany9000]

Not everyone can have an X just as a toy =P

 

[Robevo]

yeah but is not a working horse either.

 

[gunzo]

That could be a good start.

Don't know about you guys .. but there's no spare tires in the boot :rock:

A pump, a bottle, a jack is all I got :thumbup:

The reasons the Trunk is "smaller" then the base lancer is for two reasons 1 the Battery and a few other things have been moved back there for weight balancing. 2 the AYC sits right underneath the trunk limiting size of the trunk as well

If you want Evo performance but the trunk space to match it I would suggest waiting for the Lancer Ralliart. the is no AYC so the trunk is larger.

 

[on2it]

I wouldn't imagine moving house with it.
I don't have a spare tire, but there is enough there space for 3 suitcases which is what I need for quick road trip for the family every month.

We do take a stroller, but we had to bin our large stroller and buy one of those umbrella strollers. ( Folds up into nothing..) Just have to be better with packing the trunk and getting collapsible items.... You cant have everything

The Super All-Wheel hardware takes up space too, that's why the RallyArt will have decent trunk space!!:godance:
