The Mitsubishi Cordia is a compact hatchback-coupé manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors from 1982 to 1990. 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. In Japan, the version sold at Car Plaza retail chain was called Cordia XP, and the one sold at Galant Shop chain was called Cordia XG. The XG had a somewhat smaller front grille.
The Cordia was one of the first mass-market cars to offer an optional electronic instrument cluster.
Fitting between the existing Galant and Lancer models in Mitsubishi's range, the Cordia and Tredia used front-wheel drive and were similar in design to the contemporary Mirage (although larger). They incorporated a MacPherson strut/beam axle suspension, front disc brakes, manual or electrically controlled automatic transmission, and a choice of three engines: a 1.4-litre rated at 68 hp, a 74–87 hp (55–65 kW)1.6-litre, and a 112 hp (84 kW) turbocharged 1.6-litre. Some export markets also received a carb-fed 110 hp (82 kW) 1.6-litre. A US version of the 2.0-litre generated 88hp for the 1984 model year.
