Mitsubishi Colt, 2009

Mitsubishi Colt, 2009

 
 

Junior Lancer
In that sense, the next generation Mitsubishi Colt gets closer to its sharp Mitsubishi Lancer siblings introducing an exterior design thoroughly refreshed by Mitsubishi Design Europe.

Trading the MPV-like high stance of its predecessor for a lower and wider attitude, it first strikes with the adoption of a rather in-your-face full "Jet Fighter" grille together with all-new body panels fore the A-pillar, all contributing to a stronger on-road presence, but also to an improved level of pedestrian safety.

The side view offers a more elongated window line thanks to black sash foils applied on the C- and D-pillars (D-pillar only for Mitsubishi Colt 5-door body) and blacked-out sills.
At the back, a wrap-around and slimmer backlight, lower rear combination lamps, a new liftgate stamping and more elaborated bumper design add character whilst visually lowering and widening the car considerably (5-door only).

Signature
In line with Mitsubishi's brand heritage & positioning, a new Mitsubishi Colt Ralliart (150 PS 1.5 turbo) is introduced, available for the first time in 5-door form as well.
Compared to the previous Mitsubishi Colt CZT and in addition to a stronger structure, the Mitsubishi Colt Ralliart suspension has been amended in eight different points for sharper driving dynamics, including reduced body roll thanks to a thicker front stabilizer bar.

Clear Tec
In parallel to the existing petrol engines (1.1 / 75ps, 1.3 / 95ps, 1.5 / 109ps), Mitsubishi will introduce new "low CO2" variants of the next generation Mitsubishi Colt, under the umbrella name of "Clear Tec".

They will feature - amongst others - "Automatic Stop & Go" (AS&G) and regenerative braking technologies, leading to an improvement of over 10% in terms of CO2 emissions (according to variant/engine - figure subject to final homologation).

A dedicated "Flex Fuel" (FFV) variant will also be part of the Clear Tec program for Mitsubishi Colt.
Considering the rather low volume of Diesel Colts sold since 2004 (only 13% of the mix) and the ever increasing retail price of Diesel fuel eating away most of the cost benefits to the customer, Clear Tec packages will replace the previous Diesel powertrain in the Mitsubishi Colt range.

Grown Up
The next generation Mitsubishi Colt is also a better / nicer place to spend long hours of driving with changes driven by customer feedback over the past 4 years, including lower level of NVH (Noise - Vibration - Harshness), redesigned dashboard, new higher quality trim, enhanced equipment and revised rear seating flexibility leading to an increased cargo volume (from 854 l for the previous Mitsubishi Colt to 1,032 l now).

Mitsubishi introduced its towers and the brightest to lead us during an eight-hour event in the arid desert oasis of Palm Springs, California. Any one listening, 290-hp Lancer Ralliart to i MiEV electric. And hunt we did. We arrow up winding mountain roads and down gravel paths chipboard. If they have made, we beat it. Pretty hard, too. Odd, then the objective of this particular review - and in many ways the star of the game - not a carbon fiber body kit EVO X enhanced, but the new Mitsubishi Outlander 2010 GT, Moreover : Toyota Highlander

Yeah, an SUV. In fact, a CUV, though with much ground clearance. Mitsubishi has introduced the second generation Outlander in 2006 (replacing more of the generation of car-esque first.) And 2010 marks a major upgrading. In GT trim, almost everything has changed, from the outside inward to the quantity and quality gadgets to the engine output to the transmission and, finally, above all, its all wheel drive. The 2009 Outlander is a fine, competent machine tool - ideally suited for transporting children and groceries. But frankly, it does not have hearts on fire. And while the new Outlander GT will not necessarily be it is certainly not just another sedan on stilts.
