The Mitsubishi Space Star is a mini MPV from Mitsubishi Motors, built in the NedCar factory in the Netherlands, a joint facility shared with Volvo, and is primarily sold on the European markets. It shares its platform with the Mitsubishi Carisma and Volvo S40/V40, and was first introduced to the market in the fall of 1998. Production of the Space Star ended in 2005.
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. 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 were equipped with 1.3 litre petrol engines with a maximum output of 80–84 horsepower (60–63 kW). The other gasoline-powered engines were a 1.6 litre with 97 hp (72 kW) and a 1.8 litre with 112 hp (84 kW). A model equipped with a 1.8 litre GDI engine with 121 hp (90 kW) was available until its discontinuation in 2002. Diesel engines were the 1.9 L DI-D with 101 hp (75 kW), introduced in 2002, and the 1.9 L DI-D S version with 115 hp (86 kW), released in 2003. All engines are straight-4 engines.
