"Colt" – a name we haven't used in a long time. In 2023, Mitsubishi will be dusting off the moniker after being dormant for nearly a decade. Indeed, the subcompact hatchback is returning to Europe just in time to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the original Colt 600 launched back in 1962. The announcement comes along with a shadowy teaser image giving us a vague idea about the car's appearance.
Technical specifications are shrouded in mystery for the time being, but Mitsubishi does say the 2023 Colt will ride on the CMF-B platform. It means the five-door supermini will be mechanically related to the Renault Clio and Nissan Micra, and to a lesser extent, to their low-cost equivalent, the Dacia Sandero.
Much like its sisters, the all-new Colt seems to have "hidden" rear door handles mounted near the C-pillar. The "Hybrid EV" badge on the front door reveals that an electrified powertrain is planned for the B-segment hatch. It's likely the same setup used by the Clio E-Tech Hybrid where a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter gasoline engine works with an electric motor to deliver a combined 140 horsepower. Expect a six-speed automatic transmission and a 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) run in 9.9 seconds en route to 112 mph (180 km/h).
