2013 Mitsubishi Mirage Owner’s Review
Now Mitsubishi has revealed the new model of its already famous Mirage hatchback. The Mirage has already been quite a successful car for Mitsubishi in Philippine. The 2016 Mirage facelift was first revealed at the 2015 LA Auto Show. Both the US and the Philippine version gets a 1.2L MIVEC DOHC 12-valve 3-cylinder engine with either a 5-speed manual transmission or available Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Mitsubishi introduced the 1.2-liter version in almost all other international markets except Japan.
As far the appearance is concerned, the new Mirage now comes with an updated front fascia. The new front end looks a bit less aggressive than the previous shape but looks sleeker and modern. You get new headlights and daytime running LED lights along with the splash of chrome here and there. The interior has also been improved with more premium material.
Since Mitsubishi is assembling Mirage cars in Thailand and exports it worldwide, including Japan, it is yet to be seen if the Japanese version will also get the 1.2-liter engine. Considering its popularity in Pakistan, let’s wait and see if importers bring the Mirage facelift to Pakistan or not.
