At Mitsubishi-motors.nl I found leaflets about the Space Star, and the Space Star model 2021. (Can't upload the pdf's unfortunately. I hope there is no geo blocking).
The leaflets are almost identical, except for the engine.

So the new engine is not less economical than the old one, not even the 1L. That's good. The max speed is a bit lower, but I don't think you will feel the difference (compared to an 1.0L. (BTW, in 2019 you could buy an 1.0L CVT here)).
Max torque is reached at a lower rpm. I suppose you will feel that.
