Debut for Mitsubishi's Colt ClearTec

From rally Evo to Eco-Rally

Mitsubishi debut their new Colt ClearTec supermini driven by Robert Llewellyn. It's powered by the first of Mitsubishi’s lower CO2 engines the only petrol Band B ‘Super Mini’ to have CO2 levels lower than 120g/km.

Small carbon footprint, big space.

The largest and roomiest petrol car in Band B (£35 p.a. VED)
The largest volume of any vehicle with CO2 under 120g/km

A major element of the ClearTec system is the ‘Auto Stop & Go’ technology. The system automatically stops and restarts the engine when the vehicle is stationary – such as at traffic lights or in a traffic jam.

ClearTec also uses other technologies such as:

• Low rolling-resistance tyres
• Improved differential on the final fear ratio (higher speed for the same rpm)
• High efficiency alternator – recharges the battery whilst braking and accelerating
• Low viscosity oil
