Mitsubishi Mirage overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The updated exterior of the hatchback adopts the brand's contemporary design direction, characterized by a prominent grille with chrome accents. Standard styling cues include a rear spoiler with integrated LED lights that assists with aerodynamics and high-speed stability. The front end is highlighted by redesigned headlights, while higher-tier trims receive 15-inch alloy wheels that replace the basic steel versions. Compact proportions define its silhouette, with a total length of 3,845 mm, a width of 1,665 mm (excluding mirrors), and a height of 1,505 mm. This small footprint ensures a tight turning circle of 9.2 meters, reinforcing its role as a dedicated city runabout.
Interior
Inside the cabin, the hatchback accommodates up to five occupants. The seating is upholstered in textile fabric, complemented by gloss accents and chrome trim details on the doors and steering wheel. Front passengers can manually adjust their seats for height and tilt to find a comfortable driving position. The dashboard features a clean layout centered around a touchscreen infotainment system that supports smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Other comfort features include automatic climate control with a built-in pollen filter, heated front seats with two intensity modes, and a multi-function steering wheel that allows the driver to manage audio and phone controls without taking their eyes off the road.
Performance
Powering the vehicle is a 1.2-liter three-cylinder MIVEC petrol engine, carrying the internal code 3A92. This naturally aspirated engine generates 71 horsepower and 102 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm. Buyers can choose between two transmission options: a five-speed manual gearbox or a continuously variable transmission (CVT) sourced from Jatco. Performance remains modest; the manual version accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 14.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 167 km/h, while consuming an average of 5.0 liters of fuel per 100 km. The CVT variant is slightly slower, requiring 15.8 seconds for the 0-100 km/h sprint, with a top speed of 163 km/h and a mixed fuel consumption rating of 5.5 liters per 100 km.
Practicality
Despite its small external dimensions, the hatchback offers practical solutions for daily hauling. The cargo area provides 235 liters of storage space with all seats occupied. For carrying bulkier items, the 60:40 split-folding rear seats can be folded down, expanding the total cargo capacity to 912 liters. The cabin includes various small storage compartments for everyday items, and the fuel tank holds 35 liters, which, combined with the low fuel consumption, provides a reasonable driving range. A ground clearance of 150 mm allows the car to handle typical city obstacles and minor road imperfections.
Safety and tech
The vehicle features a reinforced body structure built on the brand's RISE safety design, which helps absorb collision energy. Six airbags, including front, side, and curtain airbags, are standard equipment, alongside traction and stability control systems. In terms of technology, it offers a keyless smart-key entry and starting system. While basic models cover the essentials, higher trim levels add modern driver assistance systems. These advanced safety features include a rear-view camera, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, and a forward collision mitigation system that includes pedestrian detection capabilities.
Buyer notes
When shopping for this hatchback, buyers should compare the two available transmission configurations, as the choice between the five-speed manual and the CVT impacts both acceleration and fuel economy. The manual gearbox delivers slightly better performance and lower consumption, whereas the CVT offers smoother operation in heavy traffic. Trim levels also vary significantly in terms of active safety equipment and convenience technology. Prospective buyers should note that exact trim packaging and the availability of advanced driver assists can differ depending on the local market.
