The New 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage

The 2024 Mirage has a fun, youthful spirit. The color options for this year let you express your style and match this personality. Choose from classic hues like Starlight Silver, White Diamond, Graphite Gray Metallic, and Jet Black. Or opt for bolder colors like Wine Red Metallic, Sapphire Blue, Infrared, or Sand Yellow.

The special trim packages also offer some unique color options. For instance, the RALLIART edition Mirage has a sweet rally car-inspired look, cool RALLIART graphics, a luxurious White Diamond paint job, and exclusive accessories.

If you prefer the Black Edition trim, you can opt for an eye-catching two-tone color scheme. The black roof really pops against the other available body colors.

You might be surprised by how comfortable the interior of the Mirage is, especially considering this is a no-frills type of car. But Mitsubishi has done a great job making the most of the space they had to work with. Despite its small size and budget-friendly pricing, the Mirage doesn't skimp the cabin. All seats are upholstered in comfortable fabric or synthetic leather.

Thanks to the versatile Mitsubishi hatchback design, there is also plenty of room. With the rear seats folded down, the Mirage provides a generous 47 cubic feet of cargo capacity. When the back seats are in use, you still get 17.1 cubic feet of space, which is enough room for daily essentials.

The Mirage offers all the necessary tech features, starting with a 7-inch touchscreen. It has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capability to sync your smartphone easily. Bluetooth wireless technology is also standard across the lineup.

New for 2024 are rain-sensing windshield wipers - a nice upgrade not always found in this vehicle class. Higher trims also add luxuries like a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob.

For added convenience, opt for the available FAST-Key system. It allows you to unlock the doors and start the engine without taking the key fob out of your pocket. You can also upgrade to push-button start.

The Mirage's fuel efficiency is perhaps its most impressive feature —which says a lot for a car that's already amazing. If you want to save money on gas and spend less time at the pump, this vehicle is for you.

All Mirage trims use the same 1.2-liter MIVEC 3-cylinder engine, which produces 78 horsepower and 74 lb-ft of torque. However, this small powertrain delivers an EPA-estimated 39 combined MPG. Specifically, expect 36 MPG around town and 43 on the open highway.

It's also worth noting that the Mirage has a small gas tank, at just 9.2 gallons. While that does mean more frequent fill-ups on long road trips, it also means you won't be spending an arm and a leg each time you hit the gas station. With gas prices being what they are these days, we call that a win.

The ES opens the lineup as the most affordable Mirage. On the outside, you'll find halogen headlights and LED taillights. They've got you covered for visibility, day or night.

Moving inside, the ES comes standard with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system (with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) connected to a 4-speaker audio setup. You'll also appreciate the automatic climate control—set your preferred temperature and let the car handle the rest. There's a handy 12V power outlet for charging your devices on the go, too.

• Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM) with Pedestrian Detection: Helps prevent front-end crashes by automatically applying the brakes if you don't react in time. Includes detection of pedestrians at night.

• Front USB Port: Lets the driver plug in and charge devices or connect media.

• Steering Wheel Audio and Phone Controls: Allow you to adjust settings without taking your hands off the wheel.

Moving up to the SE brings exterior upgrades like 15-inch two-tone alloy wheels. The headlight situation gets an upgrade, too, with LED low and high beams plus LED daytime running lights. You'll also find fog lights up front for even more visibility in inclement weather.

Inside, the seats gain a combination of fabric and synthetic leather upholstery. Heated front seats provide extra comfort and convenience during cold weather. For confidence on the road, the SE adds the Lane Departure Warning system. It alerts you if you start to drift out of your lane without signaling.

• FAST-Key Entry System: Allows keyless access to unlock the doors and start the engine.

• Heated Front Seats: Quickly warm up the driver and front passenger on cold days.

• Push Button Start: Starts the engine with the push of a button after unlocking with the FAST key.

The BE (or Black Edition) trim is where things start to get really interesting for the Mirage. It stands out with its blacked-out styling cues. Standard 15-inch black alloy wheels coordinate with the black roof spoiler and mirror caps.

Open the door, and you'll see stylish red stitching on the fabric seats. That pop of color carries over to the leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob too. The piano black accents on the center console and air vents add a nice upscale touch as well. Don't forget about the matching red cloth inserts in the door panels!

In terms of tech, the BE trim throws in Automatic High Beams (AHB). When enabled, the system automatically switches between high and low-beam headlights depending on the presence of oncoming traffic. It's a great safety feature, especially on dark country roads.

• Fender Flares: Give the Mirage a rugged, sporty stance.

• Roof Spoiler: Creates downforce for better high-speed handling.

For a few dollars more, the LE trim nets you some nice upgrades, starting with a sharp set of 14-inch alloy wheels.

The LE also adds automatic headlights, which are an absolute convenience. No more forgetting to turn your lights on at night or off in the morning. Perhaps the most surprising addition at this trim level, though, is the rain-sensing wipers. It's a premium feature you might expect to be reserved for higher trims, but Mitsubishi Motors has graciously included it on the LE.

Inside, you'll find another welcome addition: a driver's seat armrest. It may seem like a small thing, but trust us, it makes a big difference in comfort on longer drives. Your elbow will thank you.

• Rain-sensing Wipers: Automatically activate when moisture is detected on the windshield.

• Driver Seat Armrest: Provides extra comfort and support for the driver.

If you want to dial up the excitement, the RALLIART edition is the Mirage for you. It keeps the BE model's black accents but turns up the fun factor. Unique RALLIART fender flares, floor mats, mud flaps, and side graphics give this Mitsubishi hatchback a bit of attitude. The tailgate badge announces your arrival.

• RALLIART Floor Mats: Custom-fitted mats help protect the carpet.

• Red Interior Accents: Injects vibrant color to match the sporty driving dynamics.

With excellent fuel economy, ample cargo room, and a surprising list of features, the 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage checks all the boxes. It offers reliable, efficient transportation without breaking the bank.
