Mitsubishi Colt
The Mitsubishi Colt is a nameplate that Mitsubishi Motors has used for several decades for various models, primarily in the subcompact and compact car segments. Given its longevity and the various markets it has been sold in, the “Colt” name has been applied to several different vehicles.
The Mitsubishi Colt name goes back to the 1960s. It was initially used for a range of passenger cars and kei cars in Japan. While originally for the Japanese market, the Colt name was later used for various export versions of Mitsubishi models, especially in European markets.
The Colt from the mid-2000s, particularly known in Europe, was a subcompact hatchback. Designed with European tastes in mind, it had a versatile interior and was known for its “tall hatchback” design, which offered more interior space than its exterior dimensions would suggest. The Colt, especially in its European iterations, was generally well-received for its interior versatility, build quality, and efficient use of space. However, like many cars, reception varied based on the generation, market, and specific variant.
