COLT
street presence
colt’s revolutionary range
Colt is more than just a legendary name. It’s a fresh
attitude to motoring, which considers drivers’ differing
needs, and offers exciting, satisfying solutions to your
quest for the right car.
Today, more than ever, Colt has something outstanding
for everyone. A breadth of choice that’s made possible by
innovative design and breakthrough styling in our studios,
as well as valuable experience and feedback gained during
competition in the World Rally Championship.
Because of this revolutionary, no-compromise approach,
we now offer not just one, but three variations on the Colt
theme: the affordable, yet fashionable Colt hatch; the
stylish and fun Colt Cabriolet; and the sporty Colt Ralliart.

energy-absorbing chassis design and technology.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
superior engine performance
At Mitsubishi, we engineer every car to perform.
That’s why we’ve developed an innovative, all-alloy
engine for the Colt. One which not only delivers
on lightness and compactness, but also meets
demands for high power, low fuel consumption
and low exhaust emissions.
MIVEC
Our MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing
Electronic Control) technology uses an ingenious,
lightweight timing mechanism to match engine
performance to driving conditions.
Much as an athlete varies his pace and breathing, the
MIVEC engine alters its intake of fuel and expulsion
of exhaust gases to suit the car’s requirements. As a
result, your Colt achieves exceptional fuel economy
as well as superb acceleration and improved handling.
Another benefit of the MIVEC engine is its higher
torque (or pulling power) at low speeds; along with
sustained power up into the higher revs. In other
words, because the MIVEC engine reads your car’s
speed and adjusts its output accordingly, you’ll
always find the power you need to achieve tasks
such as overtaking or managing steep hills.

reasons why Colt has been given a competitive star

We will continue to protect the environment by
forecasting and assessing the environmental impact
of our products at all stages in their life cycle.
Most importantly we look at:
1. Preventing global warming by reducing emissions
of greenhouse gases
2. Preventing pollution by restricting emissions of
substances harmful to the environment
3. Reducing waste and maximising the efficient use
of resources by promoting conservation of
resources and recycling.
Measures for reducing environmental impact include:
• Reducing the numbers of harmful chemical
substances in our cars
• Using more efficient and environmentally friendly
components
• Using recyclable materials
• Improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions
through MIVEC engines and CVT
• Using lightweight components to improve fuel
efficiency
• Managing the production process to reduce waste,

ULTIMATE RIDE AND COMFORT
To ensure a more comfortable ride, a MacPherson Strut
design suspends the front wheels of the Colt. The rear
wheels are suspended by a torsion beam arrangement
that optimises interior space efficiency.
Particular attention has been paid to the tuning of springs,
shock absorbers and rubber bushings. This has resulted in
suspension rigidity and maximum tyre grip for improved
ride comfort, optimum handling, stability and high-speed
cornering control.
