KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What platform supports the 2023 Mitsubishi Colt?

    The 2023 Mitsubishi Colt is a five-door compact hatchback created by Renault and is based on the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance CMF-B platform, following in the footsteps of the new ASX.
  • What powers the 2023 Mitsubishi Colt?

    A gasoline engine and an eco-friendly full hybrid (HEV) type are available with the Colt. A 1.6-liter gasoline engine, two electric motors (an alternator-starter and a main motor), an automated, multi-mode gearbox, and a 1.2 kWh battery are all included in the HEV variant.
  • The Colt 600, the first car bearing this trademark that Mitsubishi Motors utilized for passenger cars, made its début in 1962. More than 1.2 million Colts were sold in Europe between 1978 and 2014, demonstrating the Colt's popularity throughout six generations.

    Today, the 2023 Mitsubishi Colt is a five-door compact hatchback created by Renault and is based on the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance CMF-B platform, following in the footsteps of the new ASX, which has been highly welcomed since its premiere in Europe this March. The vehicle will be produced at the Renault facility in Bursa, Turkey, and is expected to hit Mitsubishi Motors showrooms in Europe in October. For the first time in nine years, the brand-new Colt, the seventh generation to be released in Europe, will be reintroduced to the market.

    The Mitsubishi Colt has a strong, sporty exterior that fits in perfectly in European cities. The front face has L-shaped LED daytime running lights below narrow, full LED headlamps on the upper half to create a strong expression that is reminiscent of Mitsubishi Motors' Dynamic Shield design concept. The rear bumper's emphasis on width gives the vehicle a stable yet nimble appearance.

    A gasoline engine and an eco-friendly full hybrid (HEV) type are available with the Colt. A 1.6-liter gasoline engine, two electric motors (an alternator-starter and a main motor), an automated, multi-mode gearbox, and a 1.2 kWh battery are all included in the HEV variant. Both a 1.0-liter gasoline engine with a 6-speed manual transmission and a 1.0-liter gasoline engine with a 5-speed manual transmission are available in the gasoline model.

    At the center of the instrument panel in the premium cabin is a Smartphone-link Display Audio (SDA). The driver can access the Multi-Sense system using a 7-inch or 9.3-inch touchscreen. This system enables customization of the driving experience, including the drive modes (My Sense, Sport, or Eco mode), engine and steering responsiveness, and ambient lighting. Furthermore, a fully immersive audio experience is possible while driving thanks to the Bose premium sound system. A variety of cutting-edge safety measures also help the driver drive securely and safely.
