1.5 Turbo CZT Colt hatchback from Mitsubishi
The new flagship turbocharged 150 bhp Colt CZT was built for customers who want dynamic performance, with affordability.
Built in Japan with a specifically developed 1.5 litre MIVEC DOHC 16 valve intercooled turbocharged engine which develops 147 bhp @ 6000 rpm and 210 Nm of torque @ 3500 rpm.
0-60 mph in just 7.2 seconds, and a top speed of 131 mph – impressive hot hatch figures – yet the Colt CZT returns an average of 41.5 mpg, emits just 161 g/km of carbon dioxide and enjoys a group 13 insurance rating. It boasts a more rigid chassis than other threedoor Colts and a suspension set up modified for enthusiastic driving, yet it’s still soft enough to make day-to-day driving a pleasure, not a penance. Truly this hot-hatch is a consummate all-rounder.
