Mitsubishi has chosen the next stage of the Geneva Motor Show (3-13 March 2011) to present the Concept Global Small, show-car that anticipates the shapes of the heir of the Colt, but will also have the onerous task of becoming a world-car or a vehicle distributed in multiple markets, the road traveled recently to the latest version of the Nissan Micra.Compared to the first published drawings, the line of the little Mitsubishi is more balanced and practical as well as being equipped with several solutions to improve the aerodynamics. The front is characterized by trapezoidal headlights separated by a thin slit that overcomes the large central air intake, while the rear view is more conventional but well proportioned.
The interiors are still shrouded in mystery, although the manufacturer assicura habitability more than enough for five people. Under the hood there are two engines, three-cylinder 1.0 and 1.2 liter compact and efficient coupled to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), as well as the system start-stop and one for energy recovery during braking.
This set of solutions will enable a good economy and very low pollutant emissions, which will be around to just above 90 g / km of CO2. The production version of the Global Small Concept will be produced from the plant in March 2012 Mitsubishi Leam Chabgang in Tahilandia, with volumes s to be around 150,000 units a year.
