There is no other more important function of a car than to ensure the safety of its occupants and with the Lancer Evolution, safety is not something that is added but integrated into the car at an integral level. Built around Mitsubishi’s cutting edge RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) structure, the body is designed to redirect force from reaching the cabin, ensuring maximum crash protection from all sides of the car. For added protection, the new Lancer Evolution comes with a 7-airbags System - driver and front passenger SRS airbags, side and curtain airbags and driver knee airbag.
