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.

  • Ajla So a $10K+ transmission repair?
  • Kwik_Shift_Pro4X I've mentioned before about being very underwhelmed by the Hornet for a $50000+ all in price tag. Just wasn't for me. I'd prefer a Mazda CX-5 or even a Rogue.
  • MaintenanceCosts Other sources seem to think that the "electric Highlander" will be built on TNGA and that the other 3-row will be on an all-new EV-specific platform. In that case, why bother building the first one at all?
  • THX1136 Two thoughts as I read through the article. 1) I really like the fins on this compared to the others. For me this is a jet while the others were propeller driven craft in appearance.2) The mention of the wider whitewalls brought to mind a vague memory. After the wider version fell out of favor I seem to remember that one could buy add-on wide whitewalls only that fit on top of the tire so the older look could be maintained. I remember they would look relatively okay until the add-on would start to ripple and bow out indicating their exact nature. Thanks for the write up, Corey. Looking forward to what's next.
  • Analoggrotto It's bad enough we have to read your endless Hyundai Kia Genesis shilling, we don't want to hear actually it too. We spend good money on speakers, headphones and amplifiers!
