What Is the 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage?
For car shoppers on a tight budget, the subcompact Mirage is available as a four-door hatchback or a G4 sedan. A 78-horsepower, 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine and continuously variable automatic transmission deliver solid fuel economy, but acceleration is positively glacial. The iffy quality of the cabin materials is also a constant reminder the Mirage is very basic transportation. Budget-minded competitors include the Kia Rio and Nissan Versa.
What’s New on the 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage?
A manual transmission is no longer available. A special-edition Ralliart model with unique motorsports-themed trim (but no boost in horsepower) is slated to join the Mirage lineup late in the 2023 model year.

Should I Buy the 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage?
The most impressive aspects of the 2023 Mirage hatchback and G4 sedan are its low price and substantial 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Fuel mileage is another plus so long as you don’t mind life in the slow lane. The engine is underpowered and very loud if attempting anything close to a quick getaway. Its small size at least makes it easy to park, and the hatchback has a decently roomy cargo area.
