The Ralliart was for Mitsubishi Colt, what the GTI was for the Volkswagen Polo: a special version meant for those who want more from a little car.

Mitsubishi tried a new approach on the small-segment market with a 3-door version for the Colt in 2004. Four years later, it brought a facelifted version.

Mitsubishi introduced a new version for its European-designed supermini and installed a turbocharged engine under Colt's hood.

Fuel saver or pocket-rocket, the Colt CZ3 had them all. But the uninspired design, pricing policy, and interior material quality were a drawback for the supermini vehicle.

The fourth generation of the Colt started its journey in 1996 with a hatchback, three-door bodywork penned in the organics shapes of the bio-design era.

Mitsubishi introduced the fourth generation of the Mirage-based Colt in 1992, and while its sibling was doing well, the Colt had some troubles.

Mitsubishi introduced the third generation of the Mirage-based Colt in 1988, and in the three-door version, it was just a small-segment vehicle, while its four-door brother was the famous Lancer.
