The Mirage, which is available in hatchback and sedan flavors, is the cheapest Mitsubishi on sale in the United States. On sale since model year 2014, the Mirage enters 2018 with more standard equipment and a steeper staring price.
Let’s start with the manufacturer’s suggested retail price. Excluding destination and handling, the 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage retails from $13,395 for the hatchback and $14,395 for the sedan. By comparison, leftover 2017 model year inventory starts from $12,995 and $13,995, respectively. One reason why the newcomer is more expensive is the new 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment.
Coming as standard across the range, the system integrates Bluetooth phone connectivity and audio streaming, rearview camera, and buttons on the steering wheel. The SE and GT trim levels benefit from a center console-mounted USB port, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, as well as a center armrest for the driver. It should be underlined, though, that smartphone mirroring is an optional extra.
Be it the hatchback or sedan, the 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage is covered by a 5-year/60,000-mile new vehicle warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. There’s only one engine offered, coming in the form of a 1.2-liter three-cylinder with 78 horsepower and 74 pound-feet of torque. Drag races it won’t win, but the Mirage is able to return 43 miles per gallon on the highway.
"The Mirage offers consumers a new vehicle option that provides the reliability, connectivity and warranty-reassurance that other cars in the segment cannot," explains Don Swearingen, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Mitsubishi in North America. "The practical appeal seen in its predecessors is at the core of the 2018 Mirage and we look forward to seeing this model year continue to build on its steadfast momentum," he concluded.
On a related note, there are two Mitsubishi crossovers worth waiting for in the U.S. In the eco-friendly corner, there’s the Outlander PHEV. In the red corner, the Eclipse Cross will go on sale before year’s end.
