Mitsubishi Mirage
Mitsubishi resurrected the Mirage name for a new a sub-compact, five-door hatchback that’s only 146 inches long – or, for context, about one inch shorter than the current Mini Cooper hatchback. The five-passenger, front-wheel-drive Mirage is powered by a 1.0-liter inline three-cylinder MIVEC engine with Auto Stop & GO (AS&G) mated to a CVT transmission.
The automaker designed the Mirage to meet the needs of emerging markets and advanced markets alike. According to Mitsubishi, emerging markets need affordable compact cars for maneuverability and drivability; advanced markets need an entry-level model; and both markets need a car with good fuel economy and low carbon emissions that seats five adults comfortably.

The automaker uses technology lifted from its i-MiEV (or i in the U.S.) electric city car and a conventional gasoline engine. Mitsubishi claims the Concept PX-MiEV II has a range of 800 km (496 miles) and can travel as far as 60 km per liter or fuel consumed.
