•COLT has been equipped with the new 1,500 mL
aluminium die-cast engine (4A9-engine) for fur
-
ther refinements of comfort driving, excellent
power performance, fuel economy, and ecology
performance.

•The body and suspension of COLT RALLIART
Version-R have been thoroughly tuned to
increase the 4G1-engine output which enables
dynamic driving.
•The robust image suited for the dynamic driving
has been adopted for the appearance.
SPORTY AND STYLISH DESIGN
•Bucket-like front seats sion-R>
•Sport seats exclusive to the models with turbo-
charger
•15-inch aluminium wheel
•High-contrast combination meter ART Version-R, LS, VR-X (M/T) >
•Robust appearance by new shaped front bumper
adaptation and rear bumper change Version-R>
•Black overfender
•16-inch aluminium wheel
ACTIVE DRIVING AND HIGH QUALITY
•For 4A9-engine, the aluminium die-cast cylinder
block has been installed for weight reduction of
the vehicle.
•For 4G1-engine, turbo-charger model has been
introduced to increase output and torque,
enhancing sporty image.
•Sporty driving has been ensured by the
"GETRAG" 5-speed manual transmission (floor
shift).
•The suspension has been tuned to improve cor-
nering and stability at high speed. Version-R>
•A strut tower bar has been adopted to improve
the body rigidity.
•Electric power steering system has been
improved and EPS-ECU has been additionally
equipped with the return control logic, resulting in
superior steering wheel return control and better
steering feel equal to or better than that for other
models with hydraulic power steering.

GENERAL INFORMATION
FRONT AXLE26-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M2260000100701
The front axle consists of front hub, wheel bearing,
knuckles and driveshafts, and has the following fea
-
tures:
•The wheel bearing incorporates magnetic
encoder for wheel speed sensing.
•The driveshaft incorporates EBJ-TJ type constant
velocity joint <4A9-CVT, 4A9-M/T (LS)>,
EBJ-ETJ type constant velocity joint <4A9-M/T
(VR)>, BJ-TJ type constant velocity joint <4G1>.
•The dynamic damper is mounted to reduce differ-
ential gear noise.
•The bracket assembly is mounted to reduce
torque steer. < 4G1>
•For environmental protection, a lead-free grease
is used on the joints.
EBJ(Eight Ball Fixed Joint):The use of the
smaller-sized eight balls inside the joint achieves
weight saving and compact size compared with a
BJ(Birfield Joint).
ETJ(Eco type Tripod Joint):This joint achieves
weight saving and compact size compared with a
TJ(Tripod Joint).

GENERAL INFORMATIONM2370000100862
Vehicle-speed sensitive electric power steering
(whole range type) has been adopted. This system
allows a light steering force during stationary steer
-
ing manoeuvre or low speed driving, and a moderate
steering force during medium or high speed driving.
For vehicles with this system, the electric power
steering-ECU controls the motor current according to
the vehicle speed and steering force of the steering
wheel.
CAN* communication has been adopted in order to
communicate with another ECUs for obtaining nec
-
essary information related to this control, achieving
wiring harness saving and secure data communica
-
tion.
NOTE: *: For more information about CAN (Control-
ler Area Network), refer to GROUP 54C, General
Information
