New Mitsubishi Colt: Do we know that?

class=”sc-29f61514-0 jbwksb”>

In itself, the trend of selling the same vehicle under different brands on several fronts has long passed. However, Mitsubishi is reviving the principle with its collaboration partner Renault, especially since its own models are currently missing.

After the successful entry-level Renault Captur became the new Mitsubishi ASX with a modified front end and few details, now the Renault Clio follows. It is currently undergoing a minor makeover and will be ready for years to come from summer with a fresh front and new hybrid technology. It also has a twin brother with a Mitsubishi diamond on the radiator grille as the brand logo.

Low consumption

In the seventh European generation, the Japanese sell the small car with two petrol engines or as a hybrid variant. The small 1.0-liter naturally aspirated engine with a five-speed gearbox delivers a manageable 67 hp (49 kW), while the turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine reaches 91 hp (67 kW). Its standard consumption is 5.4 l/100 km, thanks to the six gears offered as standard.

More economical is the much more powerful Colt Hybrid, whose 94 hp (69 kW) 1.6-litre petrol engine is combined with an electronic module like the Renault Clio that contributes 49 hp (36 kW) more. This adds up to 143 hp (105 kW) and standard consumption of just 4.4 litres.

Available from fall

The new Colt is available in four trim levels: Basic, Plus, Intro Edition and Top. The advantage over its similarly built sibling, the Renault Clio: Mitsubishi, like all other models, gives Colt a five-year warranty, which can be extended for another three years. The 1.2 kWh small hybrid battery already has an eight-year warranty.

Air conditioning, LED headlights and numerous driver assistance systems are standard on all models. The top version stands out with its 10.25-inch touchscreen, animated instruments and various driving modes. From autumn, Mitsubishi Colt will be available at dealers; Prices are not yet known.
