The heart of Colt is its lightweight, high performance, 1.5 litre
MIVEC engine. Fast around-town acceleration, nippy motorway
performance, and frugal fuel consumption are the hallmarks of
ECONOMICAL
this small hatch with a big heart.
LIGHTER, EASIER TO HANDLE
Because it’s all aluminium, the engine is lighter, helping to make Colt
more economical to run.
Less weight over the front wheels also makes Colt a dream to handle.
Parking and manoeuvring in tight spots has never been easier!
BRILLIANT FUEL ECONOMY, FEW EMISSIONS
Colt’s engine features Mitsubishi’s MPI (Multi-Point Injection) system
which burns fuel efficiently and cleanly. Increased efficiency equals
more kilometres from every tank. Lower emissions means it’s more
environmentally friendly.
The Mitsubishi Colt Plus has proven that the hype over hybrid cars is
exactly that.
Four days of driving from Auckland to Wellington return on the 2008 AA
Energywise Rally saw the Colt Plus win its category and finish second
overall, in between two competitor hybrids of the same make and model.
Achieving an average consumption of 4.8L/100km for the round-trip,
the 1.5L hatchback finished first in the small car category, bettering its
publicised fuel consumption (5.5L/100km) by almost three-quarters of a
litre per 100 kilometres.
MORE RELIABILITY
With fewer, more advanced parts, Colt is designed for reduced maintenance
and years of trouble-free motoring. For instance, the accelerator is
connected to the engine electronically so there’s no cable to wear out.
And the traditional rubber cambelt has been replaced with a hightechnology chain to help ensure longer, more reliable engine life.
