The Mitsubishi Carisma, produced from 1995 to 2000, is a compact family car designed to offer practicality, comfort, and value. Available as both a four-door sedan (DA1A) and a five-door hatchback (DA2A), it competed in the European C-segment against established models. The Carisma's design philosophy, influenced by Dutch designer John L. K. Hansen, emphasized functionality and affordability, often sharing platform components with other Mitsubishi models and the Hyundai Lantra. It was equipped with a range of inline 4-cylinder engines, including 1.3L, 1.6L, and 1.8L variants, with some later models featuring Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) technology. The vehicle was primarily manufactured in Belgium for European markets, aiming to provide reliable transportation for families and individuals.
