Mitsubishi presented the Global Small concept at the Geneva Motor Show. The Global Small concept will be the successor of the Colt and its production version will debut in March 2012.

Colt will not be deprived of the space and the practical elements of the present generation with the onset future model.

The debut of the new generation of Mitsubishi Colt will be held this year at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The model will be a global one, and will be sold in the same form on all major markets. The current Colt was sold under a different strategy, being sold in the same form in all markets, but not having the same technical solutions in all markets where it was introduced.

Under the hood of the new Mitsubishi Global Small will be 1 liter and 1.2-liter engines, assisted in some cases by a CVT type automatic transmission. The Start / Stop system and the recovery of kinetic energy lost during braking will reduce the CO2 emissions of the next generation of Colt, which will range between 90 and 100 grams per kilometer.

The unit will be launched together with a start-stop system, designed to reduce consumption, despite the increase of the SUV power.

The new Mitsubishi Outlander will register a decrease in the value of the CO2 emissions from 185 to 158 g/km and will be available in the 4 x2 or the 4 x 4 versions.
