The company’s four-wheel-drive SUV coupe is called the e-Evolution and it will feature four-wheel-drive and an electric powertrain. The company begins a new chapter under the Renault-Nissan alliance, and this car will see the revival of the Evolution moniker, which was last used on the Lancer Evolution X Final Edition sold in 2015.
