A Roomy Subcompact: 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 sedan
Introduced last year, the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 sedan is a sibling to the Mirage hatchback. The Mirage G4 offers consumers a fresh dose of clean style, environmental consciousness, agility, connectivity, affordability and value. Available in ES and SE trim levels, upgrades and enhancements to the standard equipment roster for 2018 include a new seven-inch display audio unit with Bluetooth® hands-free phone system and audio streaming, rearview camera and trunk pass through.
Power is generated by a 3A92 1.2L three-cylinder engine bolted to a five-speed manual gearbox. A continuous variable automatic transmission (CVT) is standard on SE, optional on ES. Sharing its platform with the hatchback, control hardware is tried and true – MacPherson struts at the front, torsion beam at the rear.
Inside the passenger cabin, the Mirage G4 comes equipped with available smartphone integrations, features typically reserved for higher priced vehicles. Support for Apple CarPlay™, the smarter, safer way to use your iPhone in the car, lets drivers make calls, get directions optimized for traffic conditions, listen to music, and access messages. Android Auto™ extends the Android™ platform into the car in a way that's purpose-built for driving.
