Mitsubishi’s new Mirage goes on sale tomorrow (January 23), priced from $12,990.
Three variants will be offered; ES, ES Sport and the LS. Each is available in manual or CVT form.
Power comes from an all new 1.2-litre MIVEC engine outputting 57kW@6000rpm and 100Nm@4000rpm.
The ES and ES Sport variants return 4.6L/100km, while the manual LS sees 4.8L/100km and 4.9L/100KM for the CVT.
Mirage is equipped with a range of standard safety systems including six SRS airbags (driver and front passenger, side and curtain), ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution and active stability control – which works to maintain stability and prevent loss of control while cornering. For child seat installation there are three tether anchors and two Iso-Fix rear seat child restraints fitted.
Bluetooth is standard across the Mirage range and combined with steering wheel controls, makes it easier and safer to control music and phone calls while on the go. Mirage CVT models also have hill start assist.
On the seats, ES and Sport models feature a plain knit black seat fabric while the LS model features black and purple. Black and ivory two-tone dash and door trims feature in both models.
There’s plenty of space for luggage with a cargo area of 235-litres, which can be increased by folding down the 60/40 split rear seat.
Bluetooth 2.0 with audio streaming is standard across the Mirage range, with the leather steering wheel featuring phone and audio controls to make it easier to listen to music and safer to take phone calls on the road.
Mirage ES and Mirage ES Sport come standard with CD player, two speakers, USB and AUX input. In Mirage LS, driver convenience is enhanced with the addition of dusk-sensing headlamps, rain-sensing wipers and keyless operating system with one-touch start.
The Mirage LS also comes with the added touches of climate-control air-conditioning to automatically maintain temperature, and two additional speakers in the audio system to boost sound quality.
