2019 Mitsubishi Mirage Owner’s Manual

The 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage is a small 4-door hatchback car that’s designed to offer affordable and efficient driving to people who need a car but don’t have a big budget. It’s lightweight, maneuverable and compact, so easy to park and ideal for a city lifestyle.

The powertrain comprises a 3-cylinder engine outputting just 78-hp and paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The small engine clearly lacks power compared to a lot of other models on offer in its class and above, but what it lacks in power it makes up for in efficiency. This handsome little car will deliver up to 36-mpg in the city and 43-mpg on the highway.

The efficiency and great fuel consumption rate mean that the car is not just cheap to buy, but cheap to run, as well as relatively cheap to insure. Its performance credentials aren’t great, but its loyal owner base isn’t buying it to speed down highways or win drag races against sports cars. The 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage is about getting a practical and useful car that gets the job done.

The 2019 model interior is fairly simple, but it does include a user-friendly infotainment system on a 7-inch touchscreen which became standard back in 2018. It also has Bluetooth connectivity and a rear-view camera, as well as cruise control as standard. All of these features work in the car’s favor.

Trim levels include the base-level ES, as well as the RF, LE, SE and top-level GT. The GT trim gets heated front seats, automatic high-beam headlights and a few little sporty styling additions that help it stand out.

It’s a small car (taking over from the Lancer line before it), but the NHTSA has awarded it 4 stars for safety, and it’s also covered by a very strong manufacturer's warranty. Optional safety features you can put in include front and rear parking sensors.
