The 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage, a part of the fifth generation that launched in 2012, is a hatchback offered in three trims - ES, SE & GT. It boasts a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine producing 78 horsepower, paired with a standard five-speed manual or an optional continuously variable transmission (CVT). Though not a powertrain masterpiece, it's applauded for its excellent fuel economy boasting 37 mpg city and 43 highway. It's among the few subcompact cars to feature a standard 7-inch touchscreen interface along with a rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity, and options for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The 2018 model saw a few enhancements, including a 7-inch touchscreen standard on all models and a slight exterior cosmetic update. While it lacks high-end performance and robust safety features, the Mirage makes up for in value, offering decent amenities for its price point.
