Trunk dimensions Mitsubishi Colt

The Mitsubishi Colt 2009 offers a trunk with a volume of about 7.1 cu ft, which can be expanded up to 35.3 cu ft when the rear seats are folded down.

The rear bench is split 60:40, providing flexibility for transporting luggage. The interior is functionally designed, with a low loading lip that facilitates loading and unloading.

The trunk dimensions vary slightly within the model range, with the trunk shape being rather rectangular, favoring efficient use of space. Typical features include good accessibility and practical layout, making the Colt a versatile compact car.

Model Information

The Mitsubishi Colt is a compact car known for its compact design and versatile applications. The latest series of the Colt offers a combination of modern design, efficient fuel consumption, and practical features.

With a focus on city driving and everyday usability, the Colt is an attractive option for buyers seeking a reliable and agile vehicle.

Variants of the Same Series

The Mitsubishi Colt is offered in various variants, including hatchback and sedan. These models differ in their body styles and offer different space conditions and design features. Buyers should be careful not to confuse the different variants, as they have different characteristics and equipment.

Yearly Differences

Over the years, there have been several model changes in the Mitsubishi Colt that have affected the body and trunk dimensions.

The most significant changes occurred in 2004, 2008, and 2013. These updates led to adjustments in dimensions, influencing both the interior design and trunk volume. Buyers should inform themselves about the specific model years to choose the version that suits them best.

Direct Competitors

In the same vehicle class, models like the Ford Fiesta and Opel Corsa are direct competitors of the Mitsubishi Colt. The Ford Fiesta offers a trunk volume of about 10.3 cu ft, while the Opel Corsa boasts 10.9 cu ft.

These differences in trunk volume are important for buyers who value maximum cargo space. The Colt positions itself in the mid-range and offers a balanced solution for everyday transport needs.

More Affordable Alternatives

For buyers looking for more affordable alternatives with similar trunk dimensions, models like the Dacia Sandero or Kia Picanto are recommended. The Dacia Sandero offers a trunk volume of around 11.3 cu ft and is known for its good price-performance ratio.

The Kia Picanto, on the other hand, has a smaller trunk volume of about 9 cu ft but offers attractive equipment at a low price. These models can be an interesting option for buyers seeking good trunk space at a lower price.

Trunk Volume

The trunk volume of the Mitsubishi COLT compact car 2024 is given with varying values: approx. 10.5 cu ft (summary), the manufacturer specification 9 cu ft, and independent measurements 12 cu ft.

Compared to an average car, the trunk is –29.29% smaller. The trunk accounts for about 5.7% of the total car volume (LxWxH/2), which is −0.8 percentage points below average.

Practical effect: The space is sufficient for daily shopping, bags, and small to medium luggage but limited for larger furniture or a lot of travel luggage. The differing measurements suggest that the actually usable capacity depends on measurement method, interior shape, and installed parts (spare tire, linings).

Vehicle Size and Parking Friendliness

The COLT measures 159.4 in length, 70.9 in width, and 56.7 in height. Compared to the average car, it is 20.1 in shorter (−11.1%), 2 in narrower (−2.9%), and 4.7 in lower (−8%). Additionally, according to the fact package, it is 37.4 in shorter and 27.6 in narrower than a standard parking space.

Practical effect: The compact exterior dimensions make the COLT very parking-friendly and city-suitable — easier parking, smaller turning circle, and better suitability for tight underground garages. However, the lower height can reduce headroom and make loading tall items or mounting a large roof box more difficult.

Trunk Usability and Flexibility

It is important to distinguish between theoretical volume and practically usable space. Different measurements (254 vs. 12 cu ft) indicate that interior shape, wheel arches, loading floor height, and existing equipment strongly influence usability.

Specific everyday impacts:

  • There is usually enough space for weekly shopping, strollers in city use, or sports bags.
  • For longer vacations with several suitcases, the space is limited; for larger loads, rear seat backs or additional solutions are needed.
  • For irregular, bulky loads, loading opening, loading height, and trunk shape can be more important than the pure liter number — these details are not provided here and should be checked when purchasing.

General Model Information

Familiarity: The Mitsubishi COLT is positioned as a compact small car aimed at city users, commuters, and buyers seeking a nimble, space-saving vehicle.

Special features / peculiarities: Notable are the very compact exterior dimensions and the discrepancy between manufacturer and independent trunk volume figures. The vehicle emphasizes city and parking suitability, with trunk volume below average.

Price-performance ratio: Typical for the small car segment are compact price, lower operating costs, and easy handling. The price-performance judgment depends on individual priorities: those needing a lot of cargo volume will find better alternatives; those mainly seeking city comfort and easy handling benefit.

Competitor models (comparison frame): Volkswagen Polo, Ford Fiesta, Renault Clio, Toyota Yaris, Hyundai i20 — these models often compete in the same segment and offer sometimes larger trunk options or other trade-offs in comfort and technology.
