The Mitsubishi Colt 3000i V6 is known for its powerful performance but relatively high fuel consumption. For the 4×4 double-cab manual transmission, the official annual average fuel consumption is approximately 17.88 litres per 100 km. In urban driving, it can reach as high as 21.54 litres per 100 km[3]. The automatic variant consumes about 17.05 litres per 100 km overall, with steady highway driving at 100 km/h resulting in a somewhat better figure of 12.18 litres per 100 km[1].
Real-world user reports suggest that, depending on driving style and conditions, you can expect an average of between 6.2 and 8.5 km/litre (which converts to roughly 11.8 – 16.1 litres per 100 km). Urban consumption tends to be worse, while careful long-distance driving at moderate speeds may bring modest improvements[5].
Overall, the Mitsubishi Colt 3000i V6 is recognized for its robust engine and off-road abilities, but potential buyers should factor in its relatively high fuel consumption, especially if used predominantly in city traffic or for towing.
