The Mitsubishi Colt, produced from 2003 to 2010, was a subcompact hatchback that marked a significant departure from its predecessors. It was built on the PSA Group's "Project B" platform, shared with the Peugeot 206 and Citroën C3, offering a more modern and refined driving experience. The Colt was offered in various trim levels, ranging from the basic model with a 1.1-liter engine to the sportier "Ralliart" variant, powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. This model, designed to evoke a more rally-inspired aesthetic, featured a distinctive body kit, sport-tuned suspension, and a more powerful engine. The Colt's styling, blending sharp lines with rounded curves, was a departure from the boxy designs of previous generations, reflecting its focus on both practicality and modern aesthetics.
While not as widely known as its larger Lancer sibling, the Colt garnered praise for its handling, fuel efficiency, and practicality. The standard engine options, including a 1.3-liter and a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated unit, provided adequate power for everyday driving. However, the true star was the Ralliart, captivating enthusiasts with its sporty handling, quick acceleration, and distinctive look. The Colt Ralliart served as a testament to Mitsubishi's legacy in rally racing, offering a taste of performance at a relatively affordable price point. Despite its strong points, the Colt faced competition from other established players in the subcompact segment, ultimately leading to its discontinuation in 2012. Nevertheless, the Colt remains a notable model in Mitsubishi's history, showcasing the brand's commitment to offering a diverse range of vehicles that catered to distinct needs and preferences.
