Mitsubishi Space Star: cheapest new car in the Netherlands again

Until recently, the Dacia Sandero TCe 100 Eco-G was the least expensive new passenger car that you could order in the Netherlands. Now it is the Mitsubishi Space Star. Dacia currently asks €17,500 for the cheapest Sandero on LPG. The Mitsubishi Space Star is just below that with its starting price of €17,490, although the difference is of course negligible. Especially when you consider that the Sandero operates in a larger class in terms of size: the so-called B segment. The Mitsubishi Space Star was already available as Entry, Connect+, Dynamic and Instyle and now a version that will disappear in 2021 has been added: the Active.

The Active version is between the Connect+ and Dynamic versions and, unlike the Dynamic and Instyle flavors, is only available with a five-speed manual gearbox and therefore not also with a CVT. The petrol engine is in all cases a 71 hp and 102 Nm strong 1.2 three-cylinder. The returned Active version, with its starting price of €19,990, is exactly €500 more expensive than the Connect+. For that €500 you get the standard equipment of the Connect+, supplemented with, among other things, LED rear lights and an adapted instrument cluster with carbonprint on the bells.
