Larger families may need the extra seats and space of a large, expensive SUV, but solo drivers or growing families often need a vehicle that is less cumbersome to drive, while still offering plenty of comfort and cabin space. The 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage is a subcompact hatchback with a little spitfire of an engine that makes it fun to drive. Its impressive list of features, along with its affordable price tag, makes it an overall great value.
1. Excellent Fuel Economy
The 2021 Mirage is incredibly fuel efficient, beating out most of its rivals as well as some larger sedans. Its fuel ratings make it an excellent choice for a daily driver as well as a weekend warrior.
To maximize its fuel economy, drivers can forgo the 5-speed manual transmission and equip their Mirage with the CVT (continuously variable automatic transmission). This transmission is built to be fuel efficient and pairs well with the 1.2-liter engine. As a pair, this drivetrain earns a combined EPA estimated 39 miles per gallon, which is one of the highest ratings available on a non-hybrid vehicle. Real-world tests confirm this efficiency, boosting its status as an ideal daily commuter.
2. Affordable
One of the main reasons that buyers first look into the Mirage is its exceptionally affordable price tag. Mitsubishi has packed this hatchback full of features, while still managing to keep it budget-friendly.
Its design and finishes give it an elevated look, making drivers feel like they are driving a much more expensive vehicle. The 2021 Mirage is perfect for consumers looking for a reliable subcompact SUV that can get the job done, and can keep you and your wallet comfortable throughout the journey.
3. Strong Maneuverability
Parking a truck or an SUV in a tight spot or navigating narrow city streets can be quite a challenge. The 2021 Mirage does not have these limitations, thanks to its impeccable maneuverability. This hatchback’s stature allows it to easily zip through city streets and hug tight curves. Drivers love the agility of this sporty vehicle, as well as its precise handling.
4. User-Friendly Infotainment Features
Many affordable vehicles do not offer a long list of standard infotainment features. The 2021 Mirage, however, includes quite a few technological facets for the modern driver. Standard throughout the Mirage lineup are a rear-view camera, USB port, 4-speaker sound system, and Bluetooth connectivity.
Drivers who upgrade to the LE trim level will enjoy smartphone app integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This feature allows you to effortlessly stream your favorite music, set navigation, and make phone calls at the touch of a button.
The 2021 Mirage is a fantastic budget-friendly alternative to a large SUV. It is more fuel efficient than its larger counterparts, as well as many smaller sedans. In fact, it’s one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles on the market this year. Come test drive the Mirage today at Tim Short Mitsubishi and see what makes this hatchback a practical and fun choice.
