Built by Mitsubishi in Japan, the Plymouth version was virtually identical to the Colt sold at Dodge dealers, and were related to the Mitsubishi Mirage and the Eagle Summit.The front-drive Colt now came in 2- and 4-door notchback body styles. Each body style came in base or GL trim. Standard engine for the 2-door notchback and the base-model 4-door sedan was a 92-horsepower, 1.5-liter 4-cylinder. Optional on base sedans and standard on GL sedans was a 113-horsepower 1.8-liter 4-cylinder. Base coupes came only with 5-speed manual, but others could have a 3-speed automatic with the smaller engine, or a 4-speed unit with the 1.8-liter engine. Antilock disc brakes were optional, but only on the GL 4-door sedan.
