Carmaker to revive Colt name for new generation hatchbacks for global markets.
Mitsubishi has previewed an all-new Colt hatchback ahead of its global debut next year. Mitsubishi hasn’t used the Colt name in Europe and North America for some time, with the model essentially making way for the Mirage hatchback, though it does offer the Colt Plus in select East Asian markets. The teaser reveals the basic profile of the hatchback along with some design elements and a prominent Hybrid EV badge on the fenders.
As per the teaser, the Colt comes across as a low-set hatchback with a pointed A-pillar, sculpted bonnet and prominent rear hatch. The front of the Mitsubishi logo looks like C-shaped chrome elements – possibly a new interpretation of the company’s Dynamic Shield design.
As per reports, the new Colt is expected to use Renault-Nissan’s CMF-B platform, thus sharing the same base as the Renault Clio and Nissan Micra on sale in Europe. Details as to the powertrain are scarce, though the fender badging may indicate a similar set-up to the Clio e-Tech Hybrid. The latter currently uses a 1.6-litre petrol engine in conjunction with an electric motor to drive the wheels.
