Mitsubishi Mirage Sedan Set To Cause Heart Palpitations In Canada

The Montreal Auto Show is shaping up to be a blowout for fans of B-Segment cars. Aside from the usual Quebec specials, Montreal has been the launch pad for the Canada-only Nissan Micra and the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 you see above.

Looking like every other too-tall-sedan, the Mirage G4 isn’t officially slated for North America – Mitsubishi is officially studying it for our market – but it will likely come here, bearing identical mechanics to the Mirage. With hatchbacks positioned as a “premium” model in many small car ranges, the Nissan Versa might have some competition for the title of “Cheapest Car On Sale”, with the Thai-built Mirage G4 having a good shot at sneaking into the sub-$12,000 bracket.

    Watch the link below when it was launched in the Philippines http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwKLrabacLM or full details and specs on below website http://www.mirageg4.ph/ I bought the top of the line of Mirage G4 and its worth buying.

    Wow! Cool! My friend and associate has the hatch version. This is an underrated, hero. The VW Beetle / Model T of this century. Too bad there isn't the dealership network Geo Metro enjoyed.

      @etm78 The auto climate control in this price segment seems really amazing.

  • MaintenanceCosts Poorly packaged, oddly proportioned small CUV with an unrefined hybrid powertrain and a luxury-market price? Who wouldn't want it?
  • MaintenanceCosts Who knows whether it rides or handles acceptably or whether it chews up a set of tires in 5000 miles, but we definitely know it has a "mature stance."Sounds like JUST the kind of previous owner you'd want…
  • 28-Cars-Later Nissan will be very fortunate to not be in the Japanese equivalent of Chapter 11 reorganization over the next 36 months, "getting rolling" is a luxury (also, I see what you did there).
  • MaintenanceCosts RAM! RAM! RAM! ...... the child in the crosswalk that you can't see over the hood of this factory-lifted beast.
  • 3-On-The-Tree Yes all the Older Land Cruiser’s and samurai’s have gone up here as well. I’ve taken both vehicle ps on some pretty rough roads exploring old mine shafts etc. I bought mine right before I deployed back in 08 and got it for $4000 and also bought another that is non running for parts, got a complete engine, drive train. The mice love it unfortunately.
