The Mitsubishi Cordia was a Compact Hatchback Coupé built by Mitsubishi Motors from 1982 to 1990. Its name is supposedly an amalgam of "cordorite" (a lustrous mineral) and "diamonds" from Mitsubishi's ''Three Diamonds'' logo. Alongside the Tredia and Starion , it was one of the first cars imported and sold to America by the company without the involvement of its then partner, the Chrysler Corporation . OVERVIEW Designed to fit between the existing rated at 68 Hp , a 1.6 L rated at 74 hp and a 112 hp Turbocharged 1.6 L. Some smaller export markets also received a Carb -fed 2.0 L rated at 110 hp. The cars were given a mild facelift in 1983, and Four-wheel Drive was offered in 1984. The engine range was overhauled in 1985 to allow the cars to run on unleaded fuel, including the introduction of a 1.8 L engine in both 100 hp Naturally-aspirated and 135 hp turbocharged form, before production was discontinued in 1990. 1988 was its last year in the United States.
