Mitsubishi Chariot

The Mitsubishi Chariot, or Mitsubishi Space Wagon was a minivan produced by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation of Japan from 1983 to 2002. Internationally, it has been sold under various names, including Mitsubishi Nimbus and Mitsubishi Expo. The Chariot has been licensed to other car manufacturers and sold under the names Dodge Colt Vista, Hyundai Santamo, Kia Carstar, Eagle Summit, Plymouth Colt Vista.

Originally designed as a compact minivan, it was about the size of the Mitsubishi Lancer and was powered by the same engine. However, as demand for larger minivans grew, Mitsubishi shifted the brand to a larger platform in the 1990s.

The second generation of this minivan was also sold in the United States as the Mitsubishi Expo.

In its début year in Australia, it won the Wheels Car of the Year award for 1984.

The first generation of Chariot was produced from the mid 1980's to 1991; the second generation from 1992 to 1997, and the third and final generation of Chariot was made between 1997 and 2002. After 2002, the model was discontinued in favour of the Mitsubishi Grandis.
