What is the Mitsubishi Colt?
The Colt is Mitsubishi’s small hatchback, suited to city trips and everyday journeys. The name has been used across several Mitsubishi models and markets. The sixth generation, known by the Z30 code, ran from 2004 to 2012. It came in three-door and five-door hatchback forms, with a cabriolet also part of the generation.
Mitsubishi brought the Colt name back to Europe in 2023 with a seventh generation. This five-door hatchback is based on the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance CMF-B platform and was developed by Renault.
