Mitsubishi has announced prices and a model line-up for the new Lancer range, including the Evolution X, ahead of its UK launch in February.

Prices start at £12,499 for the Lancer GS1 with the entry level 1.5 litre 109bhp engine.

Buyers will also be able to choose from 1.8 litre petrol and 2.0 litre turbodiesel engines in the GS2 and GS3 four or five door models.

The most powerful sub-Evolution model is the Ralliart, powered by a 2.0 litre 237bhp turbocharged petrol engine.

The Evolution X will be offered in GS and GSR trim, the latter adding an uprated in car entertainment system, and more user-customisable settings via the on-board computer.

A third trim, GSR SST, only available on the FQ-300 models, introduces a twin clutch Sports Shift Transmission. Prices for the Evolution X range from £27,499 for the FQ-300 in GS trim, through to £37,999 for the FQ-360 GSR. The four door and Evolution go on sale in February, with the five door set to follow in September.
