Lancer Evo powers up

1 Sep 1990

By THE GOAUTO TEAM

A small facelift, revised cabin trim, improved automatic gearbox and the addition of more standard features paled against the standard inclusion of new 65kW 1.5L multi-valve engine across the range.

There was also the introduction of the sporty GSR hatchbacks fitted with a 90kW 1.6L twin-cam 16-valve four-cylinder unit.

The CB series-based 65kW CC GL and 77kW CC GLXi five-door hatchbacks lived on right through the CC-series Lancers until July ’96, when the CE range was launched.
