In its latest version, Mitsubishi has done quite a lot to makeover the Mirage G4. The automaker has built upon what the previous model has already established by creating a solid platform and has enhanced it by giving it a Dynamic Shield design language makeover. This gives the sedan a new set of headlights, grille, front fenders, new wheels, and a new hood. While these changes are substantial and help give the sedan a more modern and sporty look, it still retains some elements that many have come to enjoy and love about the vehicle with its simple but effective design. That being said, it’s a new look but still with a familiar style, something that current owners and prospective buyers will come to like about its latest iteration.

Powering the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 is its naturally aspirated 1.2-liter gasoline engine. While this isn’t the most powerful motor available on the market today, it pairs well with the sedan and has become a feature of the car that helps make it highly sought after. While on paper it may not have a lot to give in terms of power, what it returns is stellar fuel efficiency which is something that many first-time and experienced buyers alike will surely like about the sedan. The engine still makes 76 hp and 100 Nm of torque and is mated to either a 5-speed manual or to a CVT. It’s capable of returning 12km/L in the city and 23km/L on the highway or higher depending on the driving conditions and how you drive the vehicle.

Overall these new connectivity features make the sedan an even more attractive proposition for those looking to get an affordable yet modernized vehicle.
