The Mitsubishi Carisma, produced from 1995 to 2004, was a compact car that aimed to blend the practicality of a hatchback with the style and comfort of a saloon. It was designed as a competitor for models like the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra, appealing to a younger demographic seeking a stylish and affordable car. The Carisma was initially available in three- and five-door hatchback body styles, with a four-door sedan variant being added in 1997. Power came from a range of petrol and diesel engines, ranging from the 1.3-litre 4G15 to the 1.8-litre 4G93, with outputs between 75 and 133 horsepower. This range offered flexibility to cater to various driving needs, from city-friendly efficiency to more spirited performance.

The Carisma's design, characterized by sharp lines and a distinctive front grille, contributed to its success in the market. It offered a spacious interior, comfortable seating, and a decent amount of cargo space, making it a practical choice for families and individuals alike. The Carisma featured a range of standard features, including power steering, power windows, and central locking, with optional extras like air conditioning, ABS, and airbags available depending on the trim level. While the Carisma never reached the sales heights of some of its contemporaries, it earned a reputation for reliability and value for money. Its solid build quality and spacious interior made it a popular choice for those seeking a practical and well-rounded vehicle without breaking the bank. The Carisma, despite its discontinuation in 2004, remains a testament to Mitsubishi's efforts in the compact car segment and continues to be enjoyed by owners who appreciate its combination of style, practicality, and affordability.
