The Mitsubishi Mirage enters the 2017 model year with a new exterior design, improved performance and enhanced interior appeal. Mirage receives a fresh new look with redesigned hood, grille, front and rear bumper, fog and headlamps, rear spoiler and wheels. The exterior styling was given purpose, with an aerodynamic design to improve fuel-efficiency and a simple, restrained form to help reduce weight, creating a car in which form and function come together. The new styling enhancements made to the 2017 Mirage give it a sleek, clean look and reduce the coefficient of drag (Cd) to 0.27.

Offered in ES, SE and GT trim levels, power for the Mirage is generated by a 1.2L three-cylinder DOHC engine featuring the latest version of Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control (MIVEC) variable valve-timing system that maximizes fuel efficiency and power output while greatly minimizing exhaust emissions. Torque is communicated to the wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox. A Continuously Variable automatic transmission (CVT) is an available option for ES and SE, standard on GT.
Control hardware consists of MacPherson struts with a stabilizer bar up front with a Torsion Beam configuration at the rear. In addition, Mirage has optimized the spring rate and damping the force of the shock absorbers while adding a front stiffener to achieve handling and stability improvements.
