The Mitsubishi Space Star has stood for affordable mobility since it entered the market in 2013. As one of the cheapest small cars in Germany, it has conquered a niche that is characterized by an attractive price-performance ratio. But how does the Space Star perform in detail, especially after that Facelift in 2020? With a Promotional price of just under 12.000 EUR Mitsubishi has one of the best prices on the market. Despite the name, which might conjure up associations with space and innovation, the Space Star struggles with the competition in terms of technology and features. Since the debut, model updates have been carried out regularly, but there has been no fundamental overhaul. The result is a vehicle that is modern in terms of assistance systems and technological features lag behind.
Mitsubishi Space Star
The look of the Space Star received a fresher design as a result of the facelift, which is characterized by a chrome bar on the front and additional fog lights. With a length of 3,85 meters and a width of 1,67 meters, the Space Star remains a city car that stands out practical five doors and has a small turning circle. There's work going on under the hood 1,2 liter three-cylinder petrol engine with 71 hp, which is available as a switch and automatic. Despite the lack of a turbo and a rather restrained acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 14,1 seconds, the engine surprises with an average consumption of 5,3 liters. Nevertheless, the driving characteristics reveal weaknesses, especially in curves and during evasive maneuvers.
The cabin is also not up to date!
There is one in the interior easy to use with classic rotary controls and analogue instruments. The higher trim levels such as the Select+ have one 7 inch touch screen, but without the option to configure further vehicle settings. This is what the Space Star stands out for Five year warranty offer out of. Finally, it should be noted that the Space Star is certainly not at the top of its class. The main criticisms are the outdated technology, lack of safety features and poor driving characteristics. Despite the attractive price and low maintenance costs, you have to ask yourself whether the savings justify not using it. In our opinion, the Space Star has a difficult time in a market segment that is sometimes much better represented.
