The Mitsubishi Carisma, produced from 1995 to 2003, was a compact car that aimed to compete with popular European models like the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus. The first generation, which ran from 1995 to 2000, was particularly notable for its sharp, angular styling, inspired by the Mitsubishi Diamante. This design, with its rounded headlamps and a prominent grille, gave the Carisma a distinctive and somewhat futuristic look. It was offered in a variety of body styles including a 3-door hatchback, a 5-door hatchback, and a 4-door saloon (sedan). The Carisma was built on a stretched version of the Mitsubishi Colt platform, offering a spacious interior that could comfortably seat five adults. Under the hood, the first generation Carisma was powered by a range of petrol engines, including a 1.3-liter, 1.6-liter, and a 1.8-liter unit. A turbocharged 1.8-liter engine was also available, offering enhanced performance. The Carisma was praised for its comfortable ride, good handling, and fuel efficiency, making it a popular choice for families and commuters alike. The engine range was initially criticized for lacking performance and refinement, but revisions and additions over the years addressed these shortcomings. The Carisma also distinguished itself by offering a range of features that were considered advanced for the time, including driver and passenger airbags, ABS, and a powerful audio system. The Carisma was a successful model for Mitsubishi, particularly in Europe, where it garnered a reputation for its reliability and practicality.
