The new Mitsubishi Colt

To survive in a difficult situation where we have led the American real estate brokers and other dealers, these days many have what is called a pivot. For example, one of the major players in the Russian automotive market, Mitsubishi, Lancer X whose spending many thousands of the country is now obliged to go to unusual measures at its disposal. Was recently revived an old model Lancer, dubbed the Classic, and now it's time to replenish one another in the model range.

It is a compact Colt, who sold us before, but that's weather in the market did not. And strange it is the primary shock Colt weapon in Europe. There are at every step, and not just five-door, but trehdverki. Even in Ukraine, its much more than we do. In Russia, all three-door version has not been formally delivered, although it looks pretty good.

Now it's time to start selling an updated version, and, hallelujah, in the salons of Russian dealers appear all versions of Colt. Externally, the model 2009 sample can be distinguished by Chuck - instead of the calm lines that were created even under the influence of Olivier Boulet, a former chief designer of the "three diamonds" is now manifest aggression inherent in the last restyled Lancer and Outlander XL. Initially, the car is perceived as something not so. For such a major change just need to get used to. After a few minutes it becomes apparent that the front car goes, it is inscribed in the image quite well.

Especially good trehdverka! It has a distinctly sporty image, but with the motors, which will be delivered to us, does not drive: the maximum that will be available - is a 1.3-liter 95-horsepower gasoline engine. With it maximum speed Colt is 180 km / h There is a more relaxed version of liter and 75 forces, there is still modest. But you can select the transmission of either the traditional "mechanics" or robotic box AllShift.

As a result, the process of restyling Mitsubishi Colt got some of the features previously unavailable for this model. Among them: the inclusion of hazard warning lights during emergency braking (system Brake Assist), with the headlights off delay (function Follow me home), advanced air conditioning system and the instrument panel. In addition, Colt installed a new audio system with AUX connection for external multimedia devices. Has undergone a complete revision of the system insulation, and it is hoped that it was better: Japanese cars are always a little more "sonorous" than its competitors.

Sam interior has changed, though not much. All the same reasons as in the Lancer. Hard plastic front panel, though pleasant to the eye. A distinctive feature of Colt - a lot of pockets and shelves throughout the cabin, for every little thing has its place. The main thing to remember then, that where the.

In general, the updated Colt - good suggestion. Prices range from 449,000 to 569,000 rubles, depending on engine size and configuration. Expensive? These are the harsh realities of our time. But as a vehicle for the metropolis he was very good. It remains to hope that the Russians would follow the example of Europe and will also appreciate it.
