Mitsubishi Colt

Smartphone integration is not part of the Mitsubishi Colt's premium catalogue. Apple ^CarPlay2

and Android ^Auto2

are already available wirelessly via the 7-inch touchscreen in the entry-level PLUS line. This means that music, navigation, phone calls and voice control are available directly via the vehicle display - without any cable connection. From the Edition line upwards, the screen grows to 9.3 inches and is expanded to include a complete ^3D

navigation system1 . This is linked to networked services: Google Places for location searches, real-time traffic reports, current fuel prices and weather information are integrated directly into the navigation system. At the same time, the inductive charging option in the centre console enables the wireless charging of smartphones with a corresponding charging function - without annoying cables in the field of vision. In the TOP trim level, the 10.^25-inch

fully digital display1 is added, which combines navigation instructions and vehicle data directly in the driver's field of vision.

If you don't want to compromise on sound quality while driving, the Mitsubishi Colt TOP has an audio system that is unrivalled in its class. The BOSE® premium sound ^system1

with nine loudspeakers and a powerful subwoofer delivers a complete surround sound experience that impresses both during relaxed cruising and sporty driving. The speakers are tuned to the Colt's interior acoustics, which makes a clearly audible difference compared to generic sound systems. The system can be operated via the 9.3-inch ^touchscreen1

or the multifunction steering wheel - without having to take your eyes off the road.

The Mitsubishi Colt is equipped with a comprehensive package of driver assistance and safety systems as standard, which goes far beyond the minimum required by law. In all equipment lines, an emergency brake assistant with pedestrian and cyclist detection, an active lane departure warning system, traffic sign recognition and an intelligent speed assistant ensure active safety in everyday driving. LED headlights and light and rain sensors are also included from the start at no extra charge.

The assistance package is significantly extended from the Edition line upwards: ^Blind

Spot Assist1 provides a visual warning in the wing mirror as soon as a vehicle appears in the blind spot. ^Highbeam

Assist1 recognises oncoming vehicles and automatically switches to low beam as soon as there is a risk of dazzle. The adaptive ^cruise

control1 maintains the desired cruising speed and automatically regulates the speed to a standstill in traffic jams - a real gain in comfort on long motorway journeys.

The TOP line supplements the package with the most powerful ^parking

aid1 in the class: a semi-automatic parking assistant with 12 sensors scans the available parking space and independently takes over the steering movements when parking. A reverse parking assistant with rear view camera support makes it easier to leave perpendicular parking spaces when visibility of moving traffic is poor. The 360-degree surround ^camera1

provides a bird's eye view of the vehicle's entire surroundings and makes even the tightest parking situations manageable.

From the Edition line upwards, the Colt has an electronic parking ^brake1

with auto-hold function. This sounds like a technical detail, but it makes a noticeable difference in everyday life: the vehicle stops automatically on every incline and at every traffic light - without the driver having to stand on the brake pedal all the time. The system automatically selects the correct brake pressure depending on the gradient. When starting off, the auto-hold function gently releases the vehicle as soon as the driver accelerates. Anyone who spends a lot of time travelling in city traffic or on hilly terrain will quickly appreciate this function.

The keyless access system is standard in all equipment lines of the Mitsubishi Colt - no optional extra, no feature you have to look for first. As soon as the driver comes within range of the vehicle with the key in their pocket, the door lock unlocks automatically. The engine is started with a simple press of the start/stop button. This saves time, especially in everyday situations with full hands. From the Edition line upwards, electrically folding exterior mirrors are added. They can be folded in at the touch of a button and reduce the effective width of the vehicle in tight parking spaces and multi-storey car parks - a practical detail that significantly reduces the risk of parking damage.

Automatic air conditioning, two-stage heated front seats and a heated leather steering wheel are not optional extras in the Mitsubishi Colt - they are included as standard in all three equipment lines. This is not a matter of course in the compact class and makes the Colt an extremely pleasant everyday vehicle, especially in winter. The automatic climate control automatically regulates the interior temperature to the desired value and keeps it constant - regardless of the outside temperature and sunlight.

The height of the driver's seat can be adjusted, enabling an ergonomically correct seating position for different body sizes. From the Edition line upwards, the seat covers are finished in a high-quality ^{fabric/artificial}

leather combination1 , which signals a different level of quality both visually and haptically. A ^centre

armrest1 at the front is also standard from the Edition upwards and noticeably increases long-distance comfort.

The ^Multi-Sense

system1 is exclusive to the TOP equipment level of the Mitsubishi Colt and offers three individual driving profiles that change far more than just the engine characteristics. In ECO mode, the energy flow is optimised and the air conditioning system is operated more efficiently to reduce fuel consumption to a minimum. SPORT mode sharpens the engine's response behaviour, adjusts the steering assistance and gives the Colt a noticeably more direct, dynamic feel. The customisable MY-SENSE mode allows the driver to save their own combination of engine characteristics, climate settings and ambient lighting colour.

The ambient lighting in eight colours automatically adapts to the selected driving profile - a subtle but effective feature that keeps the interior lively in everyday life. The instrument display also changes colour depending on the active profile, so that the driver can immediately see which mode they are driving in.

Light and rain sensors are standard in all equipment lines of the Mitsubishi Colt. The light sensor automatically detects diminishing daylight and switches the headlights on to suit the situation - when entering tunnels or multi-storey car parks as well as when fog or rain is approaching. The rain sensor automatically controls the windscreen wipers and adjusts their speed to the current level of precipitation without the driver having to intervene. Both systems help to ensure that the driver is less distracted in everyday driving and can concentrate fully on the traffic.

For a small car of its dimensions, the Mitsubishi Colt surprises with a very usable boot. The turbo version offers a load volume of 391 litres - a solid figure for the vehicle class, which can be increased to up to 1,069 litres by folding down the rear seat backrests. In the hybrid, the hybrid unit reduces the volume slightly to 301 litres normal or 979 litres with the backrests folded down - which is sufficient for everyday use, but can be an argument in favour of the turbo petrol engine if you regularly transport bicycles or larger items of furniture.

From the Edition line upwards, a double load compartment floor comes as standard. It not only makes loading and unloading easier, but also creates a completely flat loading area for bulky items when the rear seat bench is folded down. Another practical feature is the additional, invisible storage space under the load compartment cover, which is ideal for small luggage, tools or loading cables. The maximum roof load of 80 kg opens up additional transport options for bicycle racks or roof boxes.
