2020 Mitsubishi Mirage
The subcompact 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage is for drivers who want the lowest-priced new car they can find. It offers great fuel economy, rock-bottom pricing, and a strong warranty. The 2020 Mirage is largely unchanged from prior years. Automatic climate control is newly standard on every model, and sedans get a new LE trim and front grille design.
The Mirage remains available as either a 4-door sedan or 5-door hatchback, with the 5-door being the cheaper of the two. Both body styles start at under $15,000 before destination charges.
Every Mirage gets the same 1.2-liter 3-cylinder engine that makes 78 horsepower and 74 lb-ft of torque, making this Mitsubishi one of the few new cars that can't crest the 100-hp power barrier. That meager power is routed through a standard 5-speed manual or an optional continuously variable transmission. All Mirages are front-wheel drive.
The limited power won't win any races, but it does offer excellent fuel economy: with the available CVT, the Mirage hatchback is rated at 36 mpg city, 43 highway, 39 combined. A CVT-equipped sedan will return 35/41/37 mpg.
Manual Mirages aren't quite as efficient as the CVT models, with the hatch being rated for 33/41/36 mpg and the sedan at 33/40/35 mpg.
The Mirage has no automatic emergency braking. The IIHS has rated the Mirage their highest award of 'good'? in most of their crash-test categories, while the NHTSA awards it a four-star overall rating.
Every Mirage comes with a 5-year/60,000-mile warranty.
