About the Mitsubishi Colt Z30
The Z30-generation Mitsubishi Colt was a significant departure for the nameplate, developed in partnership with DaimlerChrysler. It shared approximately 60% of its components with the first-generation Smart ForFour, including its chassis and suspension architecture. The 1.3-litre MIVEC engine is known for its reliability and decent power output for its class, making it a capable urban commuter. While the interior design is functional rather than premium, the sliding rear seat bench provides class-leading versatility for passengers or luggage.
