The Mitsubishi Mirage enters the 2017 model year with a new exterior design, improved performanc­e and enhanced interior appeal.

Mirage receives a fresh new look with redesigned hood, grille, front and rear bumper, fog and headlamps, rear spoiler and wheels. The exterior styling was given purpose, with an aerodynami­c design to improve fuel-efficiency and a simple, restrained form to help reduce weight, creating a car in which form and function come together.

Inside, Mirage receives a design update with new seat fabrics, gauge cluster, steering wheel and shift panel. In addition, a new available 300-watt Rockford-Fosgate audio system with EcoPunch is available with Smartphone Link Display Audio, Apple Car-Play and Android Auto.

The Mirage features a more unique appearance with higherqual­ity materials. The entire front fascia has been updated to give it a bold new signature design. The new hood, wheels and rear bumper and taillights round out the new exterior design.

Several enhancemen­ts give this small car a more sophistica­ted quality. All Mirage models feature a new redesigned steering wheel, shift panel and air conditioni­ng panel. Additional­ly, the front and rear seats get new materials.

The 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage continues to utilize a 1.2-liter 3-cylinder DOHC engine featuring the latest version of Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control (MIVEC) variable valve-timing system that maximizes fuel efficiency and power output while greatly minimizing exhaust emissions. With the addition of a roller-type camshaft, Mirage increases its horsepower to 78 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 74 lb.-ft. torque at 4,000 rpm.
