Mitsubishi Celeste Philippines Overview

The Mitsubishi Celeste is a three-door hatchback coupe under the Mitsubishi Lancer series from 1975 to 1982. It featured a well-designed European and American themed exterior detailed with a lengthened front fascia, sloping roofline, and a sporty stance. Inside, it was built with a good number of driver and passenger amenities meant to provide a good riding experience. During its active years, the Mitsubishi Celeste was offered in the following engines: a 1.4-liter, a 1.6-liter, a 2.0-liter, a 2.0-liter Astron, a 2.6-liter engine. The series was later replaced globally by the second-generation Mitsubishi Lancer and the front-wheel-drive compact hatchback coupe Mitsubishi Cordia in 1982.

Launch

The Mitsubishi Celeste was released in February 1975 as a replacement for the Mitsubishi Galant FTO. In other parts of the world, the legendary Japanese carmaker marketed the stunning coupe as the Mitsubishi Lancer Celeste, the Colt Celeste, the Chrysler Lancer Hatchback, the Dodge Lancer Celeste, the Dodge Celeste, the Plymouth Arrow, the Dodge Arrow.  

Initially, the first Mitsubishi Celeste series was powered by a 1.4-liter and a 1.6-liter engine.  In 1979, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation released a refreshed version of the coupe complete with a new exterior, an optional manual transmission, and a more powerful SOHC G32B engine.
