The new Mitsubishi hatchback model has a fresh look both from inside and out.
Its New Look
The 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage has a new look that you would immediately see from the outside and it’s a good change as it looks better than the previous model. The car has a stylish lower grille, as well as running lamps made of LED. It also has new wheels that look more powerful and modern with its chrome touch.

Its Features
Aside from the upgraded look of the 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage, it also offers new features, although it kept some of its old features from the previous models. Its engine still remains the same, which is a 1.2-liter three-cylinder. Its transmissions are also still available in manual and variable. Although it has the same engine, it’s more powerful than before as it has an upgraded camshaft that delivers 74 pound-feet and 78 horsepower torque. This is four horses more powerful than the older model.
It has a retuned suspension with bigger rear drums and brake discs in front. Dampers and springs have been upgraded and are now stiffer to handle the vehicle better. It uses the most up to date MIVEC or Mitsubishi Innovative Valve Timing Electronic Control that makes it possible for the vehicle to give a powerful performance, while still being fuel-efficient and ensuring the exhaust emission is minimized.
This model seems to be geared towards the younger audience. Aside from the fuel efficiency and affordability that Mitsubishi Mirage is known for, the 2017 model also still comes with its famous infotainment system, which also received an update. It now supports the Android Auto app and Apple CarPlay app, allowing you to access your native Android or Apple applications from your device on your car’s infotainment system.
