The Mitsubishi Mirage G4 is the Japanese automaker’s entry into the subcompact sedan segment. It’s the sedan version of the Mirage hatchback. It features the same cabin space as the hatchback version but with extra trunk space. With its body configuration, the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 sedan addresses the concern of many Filipino families who want a sedan but would like to retain the distinctive characteristics of the original Mirage – fuel efficiency and value for money.
The Mirage G4’s interior is black and comes with black fabric seats with a new geometric design. The infotainment system is 7-inches in size, and standard for all models. The unit now features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for all variants and is paired with up to 4 speakers for the top-of-the-line model.
The Mirage G4 is powered by a three-cylinder 1.2-liter engine. The 1.2-liter power plant produces 76 hp and 100 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the front wheel either by a 5-speed manual or a CVT.
Launch
The sixth-generation Mirage G4 was launched in 2013 and is manufactured in Mitsubishi’s Santa Rosa Plant. It came in two body types a hatchback and a sedan. It is powered by a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine that can come with a CVT or a 5-speed manual transmission. The subcompact vehicle comes standard with a 2-DIN radio that can be had with a touchscreen depending on the variant.
On August 28, 2021, Mitsubishi Philippines gave the vehicle an updated design as it would now come with the brand's signature dynamic shield design language. This facelift would change the entire front fascia of the vehicle giving new fenders, bumpers, hood, headlights, and tail lights as well. Other changes done to the vehicle would be the addition of a 7-inch infotainment system that comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, updated upholstery, as well as a redesign to the instrument cluster. Introduced in 2024, the Mirage G4 Black Series features all the amenities of the GLS and introduces exterior and interior upgrades. Outside, the Black Series G4 has black alloy wheels, black wing mirrors, and a red accent on the grille. Inside, the Black Series features an armrest, ambient lighting, and a metallic scuff plate.
Platform, Chassis and Powertrain
The Mitsubishi Mirage G4 comes with a 1.2-liter 3A92 gasoline engine. The 1.2-liter 3-cylinder naturally-aspirated engine produces 76 hp and 100 Nm of torque. The engine can be had with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT.
The Mirage G4 is built on a unibody chassis. The sedan measures 4,305mm long, 1,670mm wide, 1,515mm tall, on a wheelbase that is 2,550mm long. It has MacPherson struts with coil springs with stabilizer bars for the front suspension. The rear, on the other hand, gets torsion beam suspension making its suspension system semi-independent. Ground clearance is rated at 170mm, while the car features a rather tight turning circle of only 4.8 meters.
Stopping power comes from 14-inch ventilated discs up front and 8-inch leading and trailing drums in the rear. To add more stopping power it comes with an 8-inch master vacuum brake booster. The subcompact sedan rides on 185/55 series tires and 15 x5 inch wheels.
The Mitsubishi Mirage G4 is a light and nimble city car, with an emphasis on the latter because of its diminutive size. Its 3-cylinder power plant is responsive to throttle inputs, plus the lightweight construction is an advantage to the small yet capable engine. The CVT, however, is one of its weakest trait as it does give you a hard time before you could get a satisfying pull from the small sedan.
Handling-wise, the Mirage G4 is just okay on open roads but a champion in the city. The light steering feel and wide driving visibility make maneuvering in tight spaces a cinch.
Technology Features

A new 7-inch infotainment system has also been added to the vehicle and is now a standard feature for all of its variants. It now features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities.

The Mitsubishi Mirage G4 is so good and so cool to drive, either for city-driving or long-drive to provinces. Just be sure to use high-octane gasoline (95 and up... me, I use 98 octane) for smooth driving and great power whenever you need it.

Check with mitsubishi motors website. There are certain models and variants that does not have any add-on on the price, especially when you order the color white. Some dealers will require buyers to pay additional when mitsubishi motors philippines don't require additional payments.
Some agents are not too knowledgeable about the cars, so better do extra research from independent car reviewers.
We purchased the car from Gateway Cebu South. Our agent, Oliver Tan, is competent and reliable. The problem is with the dealership when it comes to aftermarket service. The car has already been serviced twice, but there were items on the list of charges that are questionable.
The dealership gave out an additional P9,000.00 discount after the release of the unit, which was November 9th 2022. Until now, we have not yet received the reimbursement.
Ask our team of experts any question and we will do our best to give you the best answer possible.
