Mitsubishi Colt 1.3-litre
Mitsubishi has never been known as a car company that produced little city cars that delivered high performance at little cost. They have mostly made their name on the bigger things like commercial vehicles, 4x4s and crossovers. Those facts make it rather odd that the car company has suddenly hit the world with the Mitsubishi Colt 1.3-litre supermini that not only takes on the rivals, but defeats them on many levels.
Mitsubishi Colt 3-door Range
It seems that all the car makers of the world sans the major muscle builders like Lamborghini or Ferrari are releasing little supermini citycars. Many of them are doing this because that is the way of the world today, smaller, cheaper, better cars while other are doing it because they want and entry level offering for the younger crowd. The Mitsubishi Colt 3-door falls into the former category. The Mitsubishi car company has always been known for their larger passenger vehicles and their powerful commercial offerings. Sure they have had success with sporty cars like the Eclipse, but for the most part they have fallen short with little economy cars. All of that changes with the Colt line-up of cars.
Mitsubishi Colt Ralliart
Mitsubishi has spent a decent amount of time recently building cars to compete in the World Rally Championships with a great deal of success including at least one win. This has prompted them to add some of the cool rally inspired bits to their various car lines under branding they call Ralliart. The Ralliart name has been attached to cars in the Lancer and now the Colt line-up.
Mitsubishi Colt Range
When car makers hit the design boards to create a citycar they are put into a position where they have to deliver a car that is both economical to build, affordable to buy and yet somehow still has people that actually want to buy it. Then of course if they succeed they are forced to stay current. That is exactly what happened with the Mitsubishi Colt. The original version was well received and seen as a car that was inexpensive to buy, cheap to operate and overall had a reliable build. Now with all the other ?sporty? superminis on the market the Mitsubishi is forced to deliver something even better.
Mitsubishi Grandis Business View
Ever since their launch back in the day; Mitsubishi has always been viewed as a commercial vehicle company that also dabbled in making passenger cars. For the most part that has been accurate. They have put out a few vehicles over the years that people seemed to enjoy. However over the last decade or so their passenger cars have been met with a yawn, but all that seems to be changing with the launch of cars like the Colt and the new Mitsubishi Grandis MPV.
