If you prefer a compact vehicle and adore zippy acceleration, a hot hatch like the 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage might be an ideal model for your driving preferences. The Mirage is an ideal commuter vehicle and performs admirably in tight urban driving conditions.
Three Key Features of the 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage
1. Compact Eco-Friendly Engine
The Mirage has a small 1.2-liter in-line three-cylinder engine that produces 78 horsepower and 74 lb-ft of torque. This modest engine is ideal for city driving since it doesn’t use up much fuel and offers steady acceleration in dense traffic conditions. The engine is paired with a CVT transmission. You can expect the base Mirage to get 36 MPG in urban areas, 39 MPG on the freeway, and 43 MPG combined.
2. Smartphone-Linked Capabilities
Mirroring your favorite music streaming and entertainment apps on your vehicle’s entertainment system improves your daily driving experience by allowing you to pick up where you left off in your podcast, playlist, or audiobook while you commute to work. This model has a seven-inch smartphone-linked infotainment system and a four-speaker audio system for stable sound quality.
Your smartphone connectivity options are wireless Bluetooth technology, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. With Android and Apple connectivity, you can access apps like Maps, Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, and much more. You can also connect your smartphone to your infotainment system with the front USB port and manage playback settings with steering wheel-mounted controls.
3. Forward Collision Mitigation
Driving in urban settings can be challenging because of potential collisions with other vehicles that stop unexpectedly. The ES CVT comes with a Forward Collision Mitigation system with built-in Pedestrian Detection that can detect jaywalkers in an instant and automatically hit the brakes so you can avoid a collision.
Additionally, the base Mirage comes with an anti-lock braking system that improves braking performance on slippery roads, especially when the hatchback turns a corner. This model has a standard Brake Assist system that can enhance braking power during panic braking to bring the vehicle to a stop more quickly. An electronic brakeforce distribution system can improve braking power between the front and rear wheels for optimal performance.
A compact hatchback like the Mitsubishi Mirage is a fantastic option for commuters and city dwellers who need a smaller vehicle to navigate narrow city streets and congested traffic. Schedule a test drive at Redondo Mitsubishi in Redondo Beach, CA.
