The Mitsubishi Space Star is a mini-MPV built by Mitsubishi Motors in their NedCar factory in the Netherlands and primarily sold on the European markets. It shares its platform with the Mitsubishi Carisma and was first introduced to the market in the fall of 1998.
Since the car's introduction to the market its visual appearance has stayed almost identical and it has only received a minor facelift in 2002. The car has been praised for its reliability as well as comfortable and for its size quite spacious interior, but its visual appearance was sometimes criticized for being too conventional and not enough attractive. In 2001 the Space Star was crash tested by EuroNCAP and received a three-star rating for the safety of its adult passengers and a two-star rating for the safety of pedestrians.
The base Space Stars are equipped with 1.3-liter gasoline engines with a maximum output ranging between 80 and 84 horsepower. From other gasoline-powered engines there is a 1.6-liter with 97 horsepower and since 2003 the top models feature a 1.8-liter with 112 horsepower. A top model equipped with a 1.8-liter GDI engine with 121 horsepower was available until its discontinuation in 2002. From diesel-powered engines a 1.9-liter DI-D with 101 horsepower was introduced in 2002 while the introduction of its more powerful 1.9 DI-D S version with 115 horsepower followed in 2003. All engines are inline 4-cylinder engines.[ Visit the complete Wikipedia entry for Mitsubishi Space Star ]
