Remarkable MIVEC Engine makes power performance and environmental protection compatible
MIVEC = Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control system
The dual-intake valve camshaft enables changing between low-speed and high-speed modes, resulting in easy operation from low to high rpms, improving the driving experience when starting from a stop light, merging onto the freeway, or accelerating to overtake another car. In the pursuit of pure driving enjoyment, potentially incompatible goals like fuel economy, environment-friendliness, and clean driving have all been achieved.
[Low-speed Mode]
The difference in the dual-intake valve lift (low lift and medium lift) and enhanced in-cylinder streaming further stabilize combustion without compromising fuel economy, emissions, and torque.
[High-speed Mode]
Extending the injection valve opening time and expanding the valve lift range increases intake air mass and achieves output close to best in class.
The Grandis is equipped with the 2.4L MIVEC and the Colt is equipped with with the 1.3 and 1.5L MIVEC.

MMC believes safety, security and comfort lie at the very heart of car development and production.
- Active safety technologies refers to technologies that assist the driver in preventing accidents by stopping the vehicle in an emergency situation, or by helping provide a clear field of view.
- Passive safety technologies refer to car body and other structural elements, as well as to seat belts, airbags and other elements that provide occupants supplementary protection within the vehicle in the event of an accident.
- Other safety-enhancing technologies include anti-jamming power windows and solar control glass - especially important and reassuring when children occupants are on board.
- Mitsubishi Motors continually strives to offer the utmost in safety and Information Technology for the most comfortable drive possible.
