Mitsubishi Mirage G4

Inside, the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 has a straightforward cabin as well. It is slightly bland and lacks emotion, but it is sure to offer unmatched practicality and functionality while on the road. Its seats have black fabric upholstery. The driver is given a 6-way manually-adjustable seat, while the front passenger has a 4-way version. Exclusive to the driver is a white-lit high contrast meter display for an instrument cluster and a steering wheel with remote-audio.

Aside from these, all passengers can enjoy a 7-inch touchscreen display that has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto–talk about well-loved modern features in an entry-level sedan. The Mirage G4 has a relatively spacious cabin. However, its second row seating would be slightly cramped-up for taller and bigger passengers. Its cargo space is still as reliable as ever. Hence, this explains why this sedan is really one of the most popular vehicles in the country.

Compared to its predecessors, the 6th-generation Mitsubishi Mirage is given a more sophisticated styling that is highly-appealing for entry-level standards. Its CVT variants are now equipped with LED headlights and DRLs. Its top variant is also given fog lights for better illumination at night. This subcompact sedan also showcases Mitsubishi’s dynamically-designed build that helps the vehicle have better fuel mileage. 

At the back, it also has an L-shaped LED rear combination lamps for the CVT variants, while the manual variant still has halogen lighting. The L-shaped rear lamps just add a little more personality to the pretty straightforward appearance of the Mirage G4. Another great thing about this affordable subcompact sedan is that it has a keyless operation system that really gives off a premium aura when you are outside. 

The Mitsubishi Mirage G4 is 4,305 mm in length, 1,670 mm in width, and 1,515 mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 2,550 mm and a decent minimum ground clearance of 170 mm. It runs on a set of 15-inch machine finished two-tone alloy wheels.

The Mitsubishi Mirage utilizes a suspension combination of a McPherson Strut with Coil Spring and Stabilizer at the front and a torsion beam at the rear. Honestly, this suspension system is nothing special. It is effective enough to bring you from point A to point B without feeling any stress. Its suspension system is built to make sure that you are able to drive on the country’s uneven pavements on a daily basis. Hence, this is why many Filipinos trust this vehicle. 

All variants are powered by a 1.2L, inline 3-cylinder DOHC gasoline engine with MIVEC, which produces a maximum power output of 78 PS and a maximum torque of 100 Nm. The base GLX MT variant runs on 5-speed manual transmission, whereas the two higher variants run on continuously variable transmission (CVT). Although it has a lackluster engine, its good fuel economy makes up for it. Ultimately, as cliché it might sound, this sedan is a very practical daily vehicle. 

In terms of safety, the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 is equipped with a couple of advanced driver assistance systems such as the active stability control and the hill start assistance features. It is equipped with standard safety features designed to ensure that you and your family are secured while inside the vehicle. The top variant also gets a rear view camera. 

The Mitsubishi Mirage G4 utilizes ventilated discs for front braking, while trailing-type drums for rear braking. The top variant’s brake setup is equipped with an anti-lock braking system and electronic brakeforce distribution system.

The Mitsubishi Mirage’s practicality doesn’t need an explanation anymore. It has provided us with a comfortable, safe, and fuel-efficient ride for many years now. Its last-generation model is the best that we will ever see in its line. So, if you are looking for an entry-level subcompact sedan with LED lighting, advanced driver assistance systems, and just reliability in general, then the time to secure a Mirage G4 is running out.
