The New 2023 Mitsubishi Colt: A Familiar Face with a Bold Twist!

Introducing the brand new Mitsubishi Colt - but wait until you hear which car it is based on!

In the daring world of car design, Mitsubishi has taken a leap of faith. After an 11-year break, the iconic Colt hatchback is making a comeback. From 1960 to 2012, the Colt mesmerized car enthusiasts with its numerous generations. And now, with a sleek and refreshing design, Mitsubishi is shaking things up. But here's the surprise - the new Colt bears a striking resemblance to none other than the stylish Mitsubishi ASX!

Prepare to chuckle a little as we delve into this intriguing strategy. The return of the Mitsubishi Colt promises something big, yet it's not entirely a new model. In fact, it's a testament to Mitsubishi's position as the underrated child within the Renault-Nissan alliance. Every aspect of the new Colt screams "deja vu." For those who missed the memo, the new Colt is practically identical to the Renault Clio. We're not just talking about the basics; we're talking about everything.

Now, before you dismiss it as mere badge engineering, there are a couple of unique features to the Colt. Take, for instance, the distinctive grille and the captivating pattern of the daytime running lights. Speaking of lights, Mitsubishi was fortunate enough to incorporate the facelifted Clio's design into the Colt. That gives it a small advantage over the ASX, as it doesn't lag far behind the new(er) Clio. Let's find a silver lining in this extraordinary example of badge engineering, shall we? It's worth noting that the technical foundation for this "new" Colt dates back to 2019, yet it's hitting the market in 2023.

But wait, the hilarity doesn't stop there - let's talk about the rear. The Renault logo with a hole in the middle provides the perfect spot for a reversing camera. Now, with the Mitsubishi logo, things get a bit tricky. Hence, a rather prominent bulge houses the camera along with the text "Mitsubishi" below it. It almost feels like they couldn't spare the funds to drill two holes above the license plate and accommodate a camera. But hey, at least they made it work with a touch of ingenuity.

Now, let's talk engines. As expected, the new Mitsubishi Colt shares its powerplants with the Clio. You can choose between two one-litre options - one without turbo delivering 65 hp, and the other with turbo boosting it to 90 hp. However, the real money-maker for Mitsubishi, and the one that will truly make a splash, is the top version of the new Clio - the 'HEV'. It boasts a non-turbo hybrid 1.6 engine, packing a remarkable 145 hp.

We can't help but wonder if this strategy will pay off, as the Mitsubishi Colt seems transparent to everyone. Unless, of course, the coffee at Mitsubishi dealerships is significantly more delectable than that at Renault showrooms. Nevertheless, the Colt will join the ASX lineup this fall, with pricing details yet to be revealed.

Get ready to witness a familiar face with a bold twist as the new Mitsubishi Colt takes the roads by storm. Brace yourselves for a ride that's equal parts nostalgia and innovation!
