New Mitsubishi Colt 2024

Reintroduced Renault Clio with 66 HP Base Model, New Mitsubishi Colt 2024
The turbo version gets 90 hp, and the hybrid gets 141 hp.
At the beginning of 2022, Mitsubishi announced that it will sell reconfigured versions of Renault Captur and Clio in Europe. The first debuted last September as the "new" ASX and is now joined by its supermini counterpart, Colt. Like the small crossover that Renault assembled at its Spanish factory in Valladolid, the supermini will be manufactured by the company with the diamond logo in Bursa, Turkey.
The 2024 Colt is based on the recently updated Clio and is an obvious example of badge engineering. There are some minor changes to the grille, bumpers and lights, but it's basically the same car. Not only that, the interior is almost identical except for the different logo on the steering wheel and the removal of the French flag on the passenger side of the instrument cluster.
Just as the 2023 ASX takes over the powertrains from Captur, the subcompact hatch gets its fat parts shared with the Dacia Sandero from the Clio. The base version comes with a naturally aspirated 1.0-liter, three-cylinder petrol engine that produces 66 horsepower (49 kilowatts) and 95 Newton-meters (70 pound-feet) of torque. Switch to the turbocharged 1.0-liter mill and output increases to 90 hp (67 kW) and 160 Nm (118 lb-ft).
At the top of the range is the naturally aspirated 1.6-liter hybrid engine with a total output of 141 hp (105 kW). The ICE is good for 148 Nm (109 lb-ft), while the electric motor delivers 205 Nm (151 lb-ft). As well as being the most frugal of the three, it's also the fastest, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.3 seconds. Mitsubishi mentions that the turbo model needs 12.2 seconds to complete the sprint, while the basic version needs 17.1 seconds. Top speed for the entry-level variant is only 100 mph (160 km/h), while the turbo and hybrid can reach 112 mph (180 km/h).
Hybrid models and versions equipped with an electronic parking brake have rear discs, but others are fitted with drum brakes. Stick with the base model and you get a five-speed manual gearbox replaced with a six-speed unit for the turbo version. The hybrid gets an automatic transmission, 1.2 kWh battery pack and brake energy recuperation. Rim sizes range from 15-inch steels to 17-inch alloys.
If you upgrade to the larger infotainment system, the highly familiar interior can be enjoyed with a seven-inch touchscreen or a 9.3-inch display. It has two USB ports, a wireless charging pad, and a Bose sound system with nine speakers and a subwoofer. For an additional fee, the driver gets a seven-inch instrument cluster or a larger 10-inch display. Mitsubishi's Skoda Fabia rival is available with such refinements as a heated steering wheel, dual LED headlights, 360-degree cameras, heated mirrors, and basically all the safety kits you can order for the Clio.
