Power up front

Colt finds the perfect balance between a healthy amount of power and a meagre thirst. All the pep you need is thanks to the 1.5L MIVEC engine.

The CVT transmission uses belts instead of cogs for smooth, stepless acceleration and the best possible economy.

Active safety

When you need to really hit the anchors, Colt allows you to brake hard and steer clear of hazards, thanks to ABS brakes, fitted as standard.

If you’ve got a full car, or you’re on a less than perfect road, your Colt will brake each wheel to get maximum stopping power, otherwise known as Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, or EBD.

Passive safety

Driver and passenger airbags work together with the ELR safety belts to offer maximum protection. The safety belts also use pre-tensioners, which immediately take up any slack in the belt and then release it gently. Even the pedals are safe. They collapse to the floor in the event of an impact.

Anti-trapping windows

Colt’s windows protect children from themselves. If a window is rising and it detects an obstacle, it will lower again.
