The Lancer Evolution VI (CP9A platform code) premiered in January 1999, focusing on enhanced cooling efficiency and aerodynamic refinements such as a dual-surface rear spoiler. Engineering of the Lancer Evolution VI (CP9A) (factory code CP9A) emphasized high structural rigidity, aerodynamic efficiency, and optimized interior spatial packaging. Built with reinforced body structures utilizing high-tensile steel alloys, the platform delivered reduced curb weight alongside improved occupant crash protection. The vehicle was distributed globally in multiple configuration packages designed to satisfy diverse market demands and regional regulatory specifications.

The 280-hp 4G63T featured a titanium-aluminide turbine wheel. In late 1999, the Tommi Mäkinen Edition (Evo 6.5) was introduced with lowered suspension and bespoke front bumper styling. The powertrain lineup incorporated efficient engine families paired with robust manual, automatic, or continuously variable transmissions depending on trim selection. Drivetrain engineering integrated advanced suspension tuning and traction management systems. Periodic mid-cycle cosmetic and technical updates refreshed front-end aesthetics, lighting technology, and cabin infotainment features, maintaining competitive positioning across international consumer segments throughout its production lifespan.
