Mitsubishi has announced a series of updates to the
2018 Mirage and Mirage G4. Currently arriving at dealerships across the United
States, the entry-level Mirage ES gains a handful of useful features including
a new 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity.
The
model also receives a rearview camera and a steering wheel with new Bluetooth
controls. The Mirage SE and GT largely carryover but the
models now have a center armrest and a USB port in the center console.
The Mirage G4 ES has all of the features from its
hatchback counterpart as well as a trunk pass-through and a new USB port.
Additional changes are limited but include an armrest on the SE variant and an
updated ES Smartphone Package with 15-inch alloy wheels.
Both models are powered by a 1.2-liter
three-cylinder engine that promises to deliver a "harmonious blend of
lively acceleration and efficiency." Drivers shouldn't get their hopes up
as the engine develops 78 hp and 100 Nm of torque. On the
bright side, the Mirage returns up to 43 mpg highway. Pricing starts at US$ 13,395 for the Mirage while the
Mirage G4 retails for US$ 14,395.
