Overview

The 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage Hatchback is a subcompact hatchback offered in 5 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $13,795 and prices going all the way up to $16.995. For that price, it mainly competes with the Kia Rio hatchback, Toyota Yaris hatchback and the Honda Fit hatchback. With the five trim levels, the 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback offers a single engine with two transmissions to choose from. The engine is a 1.2L Inline-3 making 78 horsepower and 74 lb-ft of torque. There are two transmission choices offered on the ES trim: a five-speed manual or a CVT, while all the other trims offer only CVTs. The Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback reaches 60 mph from zero in 11.3 seconds. Depending on the transmission, the Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback can manage a combined fuel economy between 36 and 39 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 8 striking colors the Mirage hatchback comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

Most shoppers would be satisfied with the base ES trim level, as it is super affordable and offers plenty of features. Some of the standard features include automatic headlights, air conditioning, rear-view camera with a 7-inch touchscreen display, etc.
