2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4
Mitsubishi is expanding the range of
their low-cost Mirage subcompact with a sedan model named the G4 that was
presented today at the New York Auto Show.
Already available in other countries
around the world, the Mirage G4 grafts a boot on the existing Mirage hatchback
to tap on a wider audience in the States. The result is an awkwardly
proportioned little saloon that looks like it was made from two different cars.
No changes were made under the hood with
the G4 utilizing the same 78 hp and 74 lb-ft, 1.2-liter three-cylinder gasoline engine driving the front wheels
through a standard 5-speed manual or an optional CVT automatic.
When it goes on sale in the States later
this spring at an, as of yet, undisclosed price, the G4 will offer a similar
equipment package to the revamped 2017 Mirage hatchback, including an
infotainment system with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
“A
few years ago we entered the subcompact segment with the Mirage hatchback and
its popularity with consumers has grown every year with its combination of top
fuel economy, attractive pricing and one of the industry's best new car
warranties. The new Mirage G4 repeats that value equation in a four-door sedan
package,” said MMNA executive vice president, Don Swearingen. “The Mirage
hatchback and now the Mirage G4 sedan will form a formidable one-two punch in
the subcompact segment.”
