The Mitsubishi Colt is a compact city car produced by the renowned Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors Corporation. The latest generation features a sleek and modern design with a hint of sportiness. Its front end, inspired by the Lancer’s Jet Fighter styling, gives it a dynamic and aggressive appearance. Notably, the 3-door and 5-door variants differ significantly in design, catering to different customer preferences.
Inside, the Colt offers a surprisingly spacious cabin, ensuring comfort for both front and rear passengers. The dashboard is characterized by rounded elements, including circular air vents and air conditioning controls, contributing to a modern and cohesive look. The driving position is elevated and ergonomic, although the seats could benefit from improved lateral support. A compact on-board computer display is conveniently placed between the clear and easy-to-read instrument dials.
While the interior space is generous, it comes at the cost of a relatively small boot capacity of 169 litres. Under the hood, the Colt is available with a 1.3-litre MIVEC engine delivering 95 hp, providing ample power for urban and suburban driving. A more economical 1.1-litre engine with 75 hp is also offered. However, the ride quality is compromised by a stiff suspension setup and a high centre of gravity, which can lead to noticeable body roll during sharp maneuvers.
Standard equipment includes air conditioning, dual front airbags, and electric mirrors. For enhanced safety, an optional package adds side curtain airbags, electronic stability control, and rear disc brakes.
Depending on the trim level, the Mitsubishi Colt comes equipped with factory-fitted tyres in the following sizes: 175/65 R14, 175/70 R13, 195/50 R15, and 205/45 R16. Optional tyre sizes include 185/65 R14 and 205/40 R17, allowing for customization based on driving preferences and style.
