Mirage G4
The Mitsubishi Mirage G4 features naturally-aspirated 1.2-liter three-cylinder producing 78 horsepower and 74 lb-ft torque at 4,000 rpm through continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel-drive achieving up to 35 city and 41 highway mpg fuel economy. Budget-oriented subcompact sedan specification prioritizes affordability and efficiency over performance with basic interior appointments and minimal standard equipment positioning below mainstream compact sedan competition.
Mirage G4 represents Mitsubishi entry-level sedan offering targeting price-conscious buyers and fleet applications through rock-bottom MSRP and excellent fuel economy, competing against discontinued subcompact sedans from domestic manufacturers in shrinking segment. The combination of minimal horsepower, CVT transmission characteristics, and economy-car build quality creates transportation appliance rather than engaging driving experience, though exceptional fuel economy and Mitsubishi warranty coverage provide rational value proposition for budget-constrained buyers prioritizing low initial cost and operating expenses over refinement, performance, or brand prestige considerations increasingly requiring crossover SUV form factor in contemporary market.
