FactBuilt in the Netherlands and shared with the Volvo S40, this Space Star scored two stars for pedestrian safety in its 2001 Euro NCAP test.
The Mitsubishi Space Star is a car produced by Mitsubishi Motors from mid-1998 until the end of 2005, described as a hatchback, a compact people carrier or a micro MPV, built at the NedCar factory in the Netherlands and primarily sold in European markets. It shared its platform with the Mitsubishi Carisma and Volvo S40/V40 and was first introduced in the autumn of 1998, replacing the Mitsubishi Space Runner. Its visual appearance stayed almost identical and it received only a minor facelift in 2002. In 2001 it was crash tested by Euro NCAP and received a three-star rating for adult passengers and a two-star rating for pedestrians. The base Space Stars had 1.3-litre petrol engines with 80–84 horsepower, the other petrol engines a 1.6-litre with 97 hp and a 1.8-litre with 112 hp, a 1.8-litre GDI with 121 hp was available until the 2002 facelift, and the diesels were the 1.9 L DI-D with 101 hp, introduced with the facelift, and the 1.9 L DI-D S with 115 hp, released in 2003. In 2013 Mitsubishi began selling the sixth-generation Mirage under the Space Star name in parts of Europe.
