Mitsubishi COLT Released in November 2002, Colt was the first Mitsubishi car to which the Quality Gate system - where stringent quality inspections are implemented at each stage of the development-to-production chain - had been applied right from the development stage. Features distinguishing this compact size model include classy interior trim and equipment and outstanding road performance delivered by new 1.3-liter and 1.5-liter aluminum block engines produced by MDC Power in Europe.
