2023 Mitsubishi Mirage

The 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage is available in either a hatchback or sedan style, with the latter called G4. Both options have four available trims: ES, LE, BE, and SE. The base trim comes standard with 14-inch wheels, while higher trims swap out those for 15-inch alloy wheels. To help you see the road better at night, consider the top-of-the-line SE trim since it includes LED headlights. Opting for the BE adds black cosmetic features such as a spoiler and exterior mirrors as well as red accents on the grille.

Every 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage has the same engine, but don't let that fact deter you from checking out the vehicle. Its three-cylinder engine gets 78 horsepower and 74 pound-feet of torque. Power goes directly to the front wheels via a newly standard continuously variable automatic transmission since the automaker discontinued the use of the five-speed manual transmission.

You'll have a hard time finding a more fuel-efficient vehicle in its class than the 2023 Mirage. The hatchback achieves an EPA-estimated 36 mpg in the city and 43 mpg on the highway. The sedan earns equally impressive numbers with 35 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway. Its small stature makes the Mirage easy to maneuver and fit into smaller parking spots. With the new transmission, the Mirage is perfect for busy city streets since it moves well off the line.

For a vehicle of this size, the 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage is surprisingly spacious and comfortable. Rear legroom measures 34.2 inches in the hatchback and 37.3 inches in the sedan. The sedan's trunk space is 12.6 cubic feet, while the hatchback boasts plenty of room. Behind its rear seats, it has 17.1 cubic feet of space, but folding down those seats expands it to almost 47 cubic feet. For technology, the Mirage's user-friendly 7-inch touchscreen display sits snugly on the dashboard. Standard features include Bluetooth, voice recognition, a four-speaker stereo system, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

To protect you and your travelers, Mitsubishi outfitted every 2023 Mirage with a few key standard driver-assistance features. You'll find forward automatic emergency braking, a rearview camera, pedestrian detection, and forward collision warning with all trims. The vehicle also has a Reinforced Impact Safety Evaluation (RISE) body that absorbs and redirects energy if you're in an accident. These reinforcements are found at key locations, including the side-impact door beams. If you want additional safety features, consider the top SE trim, which includes front and rear parking sensors, automatic high-beam headlights, lane-departure warning, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
