2014 Mitsubishi Mirage At-A-Glance
Making a triumphant return to the North
American marketplace, the all-new 2014
Mitsubishi Mirage 5-door sub-compact is
practical and efficiently sized for urban driving,
while providing spacious accommodations for 5
passengers. Moreover, the new Mirage is the
most fuel-efficient non-hybrid gasoline vehicle
available in America with an EPA fuel rating of
40 mpg combined city and highway (37 mpg
city/44 mpg highway).
With an EPA fuel economy rating of 40 mpg
combined/37 mpg city/44 mpg highway (CVTequipped model; EPA fuel economy rating of 37
mpg combined/34 mpg city/42 mpg highway for
the 5-speed manual transmission model), the
all-new Mirage is an affordable and stylish
hatchback with best-in-class combined fuel
efficiency.
And with a low starting MSRP of only $12,995,
the all-new 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage delivers
hybrid-like fuel economy without the additional
cost and complexity of a hybrid – while offering a
long list of no-cost standard amenities.
Among these features are tilt steering; automatic
climate control; power windows with driver’s side
auto-up/down; power side mirrors; body-colored
side mirrors, door handles and tailgate handle; a
convenient 60/40 split folding rear seat; keyless
entry with panic alarm; variable intermittent
wipers; a sporty rear spoiler and a dynamic
sounding 4 speaker 140-watt AM/FM/CD/MP3
with USB/iPod® input.
Standard safety features included at no cost on
this fuel-sipping 5-door subcompact consist of a
comprehensive seven (7) air bag Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) including dual front air
bags, dual front seat-mounted side-impact air
bags, dual side-impact curtain air bags, and a
driver’s knee air bag; Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS); 4-wheel anti-lock brakes (ABS)
with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD);
and Brake Assist. Hill Start Assist (HSA) is also
standard on all continuously-variable
transmission-equipped (CVT) models.
Active Stability Control (ASC) with Traction
Control Logic (TCL) is also included on all
models. The ASC/TCL helps stabilize the
vehicle when it detects skidding and/or when the
system detects a loss of traction on slippery
road surfaces.
Mitsubishi Motors engineers have fortified the
all-new Mirage 5-door with an additional level of
driver and passenger protection (the Mirage has
seating for 5) in the event of a collision by
incorporating the most advanced form of
Mitsubishi’s Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution
(RISE) impact-absorbing safety cell technology
ever. The patented RISE system utilizes a body
structure with an impact energy-absorbing front
end along with an abundant use of high tensile
steel in key areas throughout the platform.
Furthermore, the stylish exterior of the all-new
2014 Mirage was penned using computer-aided
design (CAD) software to maximize the 5-door’s
aerodynamic efficiency for a low 0.28 coefficient
of drag. This advanced design/emphasis on
aerodynamic efficiency is clearly exhibited in the
carefully sculpted corners of the rear bumper
and the way the hood gently flows into the Apillars.
Standard Electric Power Steering (EPS) further
aids the fuel efficiency cause while providing the
driver with communicative steering feel as well
as a sharp turning radius of only 15.1 feet.
The all-new Mirage provides eager acceleration
in urban stop-and-go driving along with
exemplary highway fuel economy. What’s more,
an ECO indicator light illuminates to let the
driver know when they are driving in a manner
that allows for utmost fuel efficiency.
To add an additional touch of vibrancy to
Mirage’s dynamic exterior styling, there’s a total
of eight fun and eye-catching colors to choose
from including Thunder Gray, Starlight Silver,
Cloud White and Mystic Black, along with
Mitsubishi Motors fan-selected colors Kiwi
Green, Plasma Purple, Infrared and Sapphire
Blue in the Mitsubishi Mirage Color Code
program.
Every Mirage variant also features thoughtful
interior design touches including ergonomically
designed driver controls and instrument panel as
well as upscale-looking rich high-gloss piano
black trim for the center console.
An especially welcome interior design feature is
the 60/40 split folding rear seat that allows for
plentiful and easily accessed interior cargo
volume.
For only $1,200 more than the standard model,
the upmarket Mirage ES model features all of
the welcome content on the DE while adding
eye-catching 14-in. aluminum alloy wheels; front
fog lamps; leather-wrapped steering wheel and
shift knob; FAST (Free-hand Advanced Security
Transmitter)-key passive entry; One-Touch
Start/Stop (OSS) engine switch; steering wheelmounted audio controls; cruise control and a
Bluetooth® hands-free phone system.
Numerous amenity and accessory packages are
available including LED Illumination, Rear Park
Assist Sensors, Exterior and Chrome Packages,
as well as a Navigation Package that includes a
SD Card-based navigation system with rearview
camera (available on Mirage ES model).
Powering the all-new Mirage is an extremely
efficient 1.2-liter 3-cylinder DOHC engine that
features the latest version of Mitsubishi
Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control
(MIVEC) variable valve-timing system that
maximizes fuel efficiency and power output
while greatly minimizing exhaust emissions. This
engine produces 74 bhp and 74 lb.-ft. of torque.
Consumers have a choice between a smoothoperating 5-speed manual and an advanced
continuously-variable transmission (CVT) with
Idle Neutral Logic.
Thanks to its lightweight platform and peppy
engine combination, the new Mirage has a
better power-to-weight ratio than the Chevrolet
Spark.
Rounding out this hot hatchback’s remarkable
affordability and extreme efficiency is the
additional peace of mind that comes with
Mitsubishi Motors’ impressive warranty:
10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited
warranty; 5-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper
new vehicle limited warranty; 7-year/100,000
mile anti-corrosion/perforation limited warranty;
and 5-year/unlimited mileage roadside
assistance program.
