Possibly a replacement for the Colt, the five-seat CGS isn’t a bad looking thing. But the big news is its efficiency, with sub-100 g/km CO2 emissions being promised.
Such a low level has come about by the use of a relatively small engine of 1.0 to 1.2 litre capacity, regenerative braking, a stop-start system, low rolling resistance tyres, weight minimisation and careful attention to the aerodynamics.
The production version of the Mitsubishi Concept Global Small will be built in Thailand, with manufacturing set to start in March 2012.
