The price of Mitsubishi Colt is lower than that of Renault Clio

Three-cylinder without turbo, 65 hp and five-speed manual gearbox. That looks like your rental car on a Greek island (and may soon be), but it’s also a top-of-the-line Mitsubishi Colt in the Netherlands. The hatchback itself is less powerful than the Mitsubishi Space Star, but slightly cheaper than the Renault Clio, which is technically the same.

Renault Clio is available with the same three cylinders, so it is not motorization. The Colt is less equipped than its French brother. Renault has standard features like parking sensors and a screen with Apple CarPlay, things you can only get from Mitsubishi if you buy a bigger engine. We would, if only for the residual value.

But what is the price of Mitsubishi Colt?

Mitsubishi Colt in Pure version costs 21,990 euros. A Renault Clio with the same engine but slightly more equipment costs 1,000 euros more. If you have a little more to spend, go for the Colt Intense for 24,990 euros. Then you immediately get 90 hp, a six-speed gearbox, automatic air conditioning, a reversing camera and a screen with CarPlay and Android Auto. You don’t need much more.

The Mitsubishi Colt is also available as a hybrid

Hybrid power from the Clio is also coming to the Colt. The 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and electric motor together produce 145 hp. You don’t have to change the gears yourself in this version and you can go with it for 27,990 euros. Then you get the Intense version. The most expensive Mitsubishi Colt also has this drivetrain and is priced at 31,490 euros. This version is less than 1,000 euros more expensive than the thicker Clio.
