Mitsubishi Colt spotted in China again, big mouth this time
The Mitsubishi Colt is set to go into production at Mitsubishi’s flailing joint venture with SouEast that is getting a boost in the arm with the addition of a new line up of cars. The JV has been stalling for an number of years due to a seeming neglect by Mitsubishi who failed to introduce any new cars into China, however this has all changed for 2010 with the addition of the Lancer in 1.8L and 2.0L form.
A further addition of the ‘big mouth’ edition Mitsubishi Colt is expected to make it into the Mitsubishi China line up later this year, and will give the super mini segment some further competition, especially with the recent addition of the Nissan March and long term best seller, the Ford Fiesta. Spy pictures of the Colt have been spotted out before, however this is the first time that the new 2010 Mitsubishi grill version has been spotted in China.
The Colt is expected to launch with the choice of a 1.3L or a 1.5L engine later this year, and will likely launch after the Mitsubishi ASX.

I currently drive a Lancer which I’m very happy with. The last few years, Mitsubishi has been slow in getting new vehicles into all it’s markets. I’ve really been concerned about their future.
They need a new model onslaught soon.
There was talk about them being taken over by Peugeot Citroen (as they share cars Outlander, the new small 4×4 (still to be launched) and the i-miev). however, Peugeot/Citroen backed out the deal and from what I’ve heard Mitsubishi are hunting for a new partner, otherwise they’re in deep trouble. Let’s hope the hunt is successful.
i bought my first colt in 2005, used it for 78 000 km,
the second in 2008 and today it has 58 000 km in her odometer.
both are great cars, great value for money, surprisingly good road holding, excellent mpg, unbelievable interior space, very good for long trips.
both my cars are 1,3lt petrol engine with automated manual gearbox.
I am liking the spiderman camo job.
