About 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage


3.3

Overall Rating

The 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback is powered by a 78-hp, inline-3 engine mated to a manual or CVT gearbox. In the terms of performance and handling the Mirage is at the bottom end of its segment.

The 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage is a budget hatchback that is a good first car for someone who has just started earning and wants a cheap daily driver. The reason we say so is because the Mirage, in reality, not only lacks in refinement and power but it also has an abysmal fuel economy (39 mpg combined and 43 mpg highway). Although Mitsubishi does offer a 10-year powertrain warranty which is the highest in the segment, it is not enough to compel everyone to go for this car over its better-equipped rivals. For 2019, to sweeten the pot Mitsubishi has thrown in few goodies like cruise control and an adjustable-height driver's seat.

But simply put the attractive starting price of the Mirage is the only compelling factor in buying this hatchback. Thus as a package, you should be disappointed in the Mirage as you're are actually getting what you pay for. That said, the rivals like the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, and the Kia Rio offer a better overall package compared to the Mirage albeit at a slight premium.

We suggest going for the LE trim as it is the best choice among the available trim for the Mirage hatchback. The reason we say so, the LE trim gets features like 15” alloy wheels, heated front seats, and a 6.5” touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity over and above the features of the base trim making it a much better equipped yet well-priced trim in the Mirage lineup.

I am quite amazed on how much this little car can hold as far as what you can haul with it. It does amazing on gas mileage, I get up to 26 mpg which is awesome. I am very happy with my purchase. It is a nice little car to take on trips, because you definitely will save money on gas.

2019 Mitsubishi Mirage Review


Pros

  • Fuel efficient
  • One of the least expensive cars on sale
  • Long warranty coverage
  • Sharp and nimble handling around corners

Cons

  • Weak engine performance
  • Excessive road noise at highway speeds
  • Interior feels cheap

The 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback is powered by a 78-hp, inline-3 engine mated to a manual or CVT gearbox. In the terms of performance and handling the Mirage is at the bottom end of its segment.

Overview


The 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage is a budget hatchback that is a good first car for someone who has just started earning and wants a cheap daily driver. The reason we say so is because the Mirage, in reality, not only lacks in refinement and power but it also has an abysmal fuel economy (39 mpg combined and 43 mpg highway). Although Mitsubishi does offer a 10-year powertrain warranty which is the highest in the segment, it is not enough to compel everyone to go for this car over its better-equipped rivals. For 2019, to sweeten the pot Mitsubishi has thrown in few goodies like cruise control and an adjustable-height driver's seat.

But simply put the attractive starting price of the Mirage is the only compelling factor in buying this hatchback. Thus as a package, you should be disappointed in the Mirage as you're are actually getting what you pay for. That said, the rivals like the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, and the Kia Rio offer a better overall package compared to the Mirage albeit at a slight premium.

Pricing and Features
9.0/10


The 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback is offered in five trims. The trim lineup stands as ES, RF, LE, SE, and GT. Irrespective of the trim you choose a 1.2L three-cylinder engine that produces 78 horsepower and 74 lb-ft of torque is standard. Going for the ES trim does open up the choice of a five-speed manual transmission, while the remaining trims offer only the CVT automatic.

Standard features for the base ES trim include 14” steel wheels, a rear spoiler, automatic headlights, cruise control, a height-adjustable driver's seat, a rearview camera, a 7” touchscreen display, and a four-speaker sound system. The RF trim has the same features as the ES but comes with a six-speaker Rockford Fosgate sound system. While the topmost GT trim shares the features list of the SE trim and adds 15-inch alloy wheels replacing the 14-inch alloy wheels of the SE trim.

Trim to Choose

We suggest going for the LE trim as it is the best choice among the available trim for the Mirage hatchback. The reason we say so, the LE trim gets features like 15” alloy wheels, heated front seats, and a 6.5” touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity over and above the features of the base trim making it a much better equipped yet well-priced trim in the Mirage lineup.

Engine and Performance
2.8/10


Power for the 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage comes from a 1.2L 3-cylinder engine that is capable of putting just 78 hp and 74 lb-ft of torque. The engine is unrefined and has a coarse sound note when revved or doing high speeds. The Mirage offers a rather clunky 5-speed manual, although the setup does attain decent fuel economy and the figures are even better for the models equipped with the CVT automatic gearbox.

The Mirage is the worst performer in terms of power and torque figure. In this comparison, Kia Rio and Honda Fit are close competitors with the former mated to a 6-speed automatic and the latter mated to a CVT gearbox. While the Yaris with the 6-speed manual is a bliss to drive and will definitely tilt the purists in its favor.

Acceleration

The 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage's engine is tuned towards delivering a better fuel economy and not for performance.

The reason why the Mirage is nothing but one hell of a slow car with 0-60 mph coming in a slow 11.3 seconds and a quarter-mile in 18.5 seconds. The Mirage takes its won sweet time to build pace and overtakes need to be carefully planned to avoid any unwanted situation.

Mirage is the slowest of all tailing the Yaris which does 0-60 mph in 10.2 seconds and comes third. The Rio’s faster 0-60 mph run let it complete the quarter-mile run first followed by the Fit which touches the finish line in 17.1 seconds closely followed by the Yaris and in the rear-view Mirage could be seen crossing the finish line last in 18.5 seconds.

Ride and Handling

The Mirage is one hell of a lightweight vehicle and thanks to its rather soft suspension the car loses its composure even over minor undulations. The ride is choppy for most of the part and handling doesn't inspire any confidence at all. The setup is a complete bore and is strictly for someone who wants a point A to point B car and nothing more than that.

Braking

The Mirage gets a front disc and rear drum brakes setup. The brake bite feels adequate for the road. As the car isn't capable of silly speed braking force is easy to modulate, and the feedback from the pedal is satisfactory.

Panic braking will result in the Mirage stopping from 70-0 mph in 177 feet. The figures are better compared to the peers and a part of it goes to the lower curb weight of the Mirage.

The Mirage is the best when it comes to braking and takes 177 feet to come from 70 mph to standstill which is better than the rivals. Even though it has the smallest brakes in comparison the car’s lightweight helps it to shed speed very quickly.

Fuel Economy
9.3/10


The only card up Mirage’s sleeve is its fuel efficiency. With a small 1.2L, three cylinders under its hood the Mirage has an EPA estimated fuel economy ratings of 36 mpg in the city, 43 mpg highway, and 39 mpg combined for the available CVT.  While the manual gearbox equipped Mirage sees a dip in the fuel economy and the figures fall to 33/41/36 mpg in the city, highway, and combined overall.

Noteworthy is the fact that the Mirage is the most fuel-efficient hatchback of all with an impressive 36 mpg in the city and 43 mpg on the highway. Another point worth noting here is that the Mirage gets the smallest fuel tank of all but owing to its higher fuel economy it gives an at par range in tankful when compared to others.

Interior
7.0/10


The cabin of the Mitsubishi Mirage is strictly budget grade and comfort and ergonomics aren't the words found in Mirage's dictionary. Although we need to appreciate the fact how well the Mitsubishi engineers have designed the cabin as it is spacious and has a simple layout.

The Mirage offers seating space for up to five passengers and the front seats feel comfortable and well-bolstered. For 2019 Mirage has added a height adjustment feature for the driver’s side. But move to the rear and all that positive image waters down. The rear space is tight and two passengers can only be accommodated here with ease. A third passenger would be a strict no-no unless all the three at the rear are super skinny.

The Mirage has somewhat similar ergonomics to its competitors and it is not difficult to ingress or egress in it. In this case, all the cars feel simpler and easier to live with four people on-board while the fifth one would be a tight fit in any one of them.

Infotainment

This Mirage’s infotainment system is simple and comprises a 7" touchscreen system. There are physical controls to operate the screen and they are within easy reach.

A rather curious case we see here is that the optional touch screen is smaller in size compared to the standard one. Standard features include a four-speaker stereo, smartphone connectivity via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, etc.

Standard infotainment features: 

  • A 7” touch screen
  • Four-speaker stereo
  • USB port
  • HD Radio
  • Bluetooth
  • A 6.5” touch screen (available)
  • Android Auto and Apple CarPlay (available)
  • Six-speaker premium stereo (available)

Interior Features

Key highlights of the interior features include:

  • Push-button start
  • Automatic climate control
  • Proximity keyless entry

Cargo Capacity

The Mitsubishi Mirage offers 17.1 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. The boot space is generous and sufficient to accommodate monthly groceries for a small family or a couple of carry-on bags for a short family vacation. The boot lid is at a comfortable height while loading and unloading stuff will need you to lift and drop inside the boot as the floor is not flat.

The Mirage packs a decent cargo capacity of 17.1 cubic feet slightly behind Rio’s highest 17.4 cubic feet. With the option of 60/40-split rear seats, the seats can be folded to accommodate odd-shaped luggage. Also, the rear can be folded completely to liberate 47 cubic feet of cargo space.

Exterior
6.9/10


The 2019 Mirage is a very plain-jane-looking car and has no curvy pr eye-catching design. The front fascia of the hatchback is dominated by a large chrome grille. Move to the rear and the trunk of the Mirage gives it a rounded look.

At the sides, the base trim gets steel wheels, black door handles and black cladding running through the door. Higher trim comes with 15” alloys as standard. For those looking for better exterior looks can opt for the Special Edition Mirage which gets lots of cosmetic treatment.

Exterior Dimensions

The Mitsubishi Mirage has a compact footprint and the same shows in its dimension figures. The 2019 Mirage is 149.4” long, 59.4” tall, and 65.6” wide. The Mirage offers  96.5" of wheelbase and a ground clearance of 6.3".

The Mirage is the smallest hatchback of all but with the highest ground clearance. These not only give the car nimbleness which makes zipping through city traffic a breeze and also peace of mind while going over those big bad bumps or large potholes.

Competition
8.0/10


Mitsubishi Mirage Vs Honda Fit 

The 2019 Honda Fit is a strong contender of the Mitsubishi Mirage and comes with a powerful engine. Except for the fuel economy of the Mirage, the Fit has everything in its favor to take on the Mirage 

The Honda Fit also comes equipped with better safety features and has a much better reliability rating compared to the Mirage. So in all sense, the Fit is the better choice here.

Mitsubishi Mirage Vs Toyota Yaris

The Toyota Yaris is a matured product in the segment. The Yaris is refined and offers a better experience than the Mirage. On paper, except for the fuel economy and braking distance, the Yaris has beaten the Mirage by a margin.

Not only this the Yaris feels better put together and much safer to drive compared to the Mirage. Now we won't compare the exterior looks as they are subjective. That said, the Yaris would be a better choice any day over the Mirage.  

Mitsubishi Mirage Vs Kia Rio 

The higher-priced Kia Rio on paper might be unappealing in front of the cheaper Mitsubishi Mirage. But we would like you to focus on the word cheaper and you will immediately realize why the price gap.

The Kia Rio is totality is a much better and refined product than the budget-grade Mirage. Unless you are on a shoestring budget we suggest dropping the Mirage and going for the Rio.

Final Verdict
6.8/10


Cheap and compromise are the two words predominant in this review. These two words very well summarize what actually the Mitsubishi Mirage is in the form of a package. There are lots of compromises in terms of quality and features up to the extent of compromise on the safety features. We could have let this one pass but the compromise in safety features is one thing that can't be shrugged under the carpet. Starting under sixteen grand the Mirage appears to be very lucrative but we suggest looking at better build cars in this segment and give this one a pass.
