The new 2024 Mitsubishi Colt marks the seventh generation of the well-known car sold in Europe by the Japanese automaker. In almost 45 years of its existence in the European market, the Colt was produced and sold in approximately 1.2 million units.

Mitsubishi asked its motorsport division, Ralliart, to made a pocket-rocket out of the five-door Colt, and they did an excellent job.

In 2008 Mitsubishi refreshed its smallest vehicle in the lineup, the Colt. Based on the success of Lancer Evo story, the Japanese carmaker adopted the same front design for the Colt. Another important improvement to the car was the introduction of the 1.5-liter turbo gasoline engine in the “Ralliart” version. By 2008, that engine was only available on the three-door version.

Mitsubishi updated the five-door Colt in 2004, improved it in all areas, and added three new engines to the lineup and two limited-edition versions.
