2017 Mitsubishi Mirage Restyled, More Powerful, Still Cheap

A s expected, the Mitsubishi Mirage will skirt the 2016 model year and ricochet straight into 2017 with some critical overhauls. The 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage lands at the current year's Los Angeles automobile fair with another look and some mechanical changes.

The facelift starts with another restricted front grille opening trimmed in chrome on top of the line models, with another grille opening in the lower front belt, both of which consolidate to bring the Mirage's face progressive with the configuration of other new Mitsubishi models. The hood, back spoiler, back guard, and 14-and 15-inch amalgam wheels have likewise been updated, giving the 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage a bolder look, however it's still a long way from the most sleek little auto marked down today.

Within the 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage has gotten a lot of consideration, as well, with new upholstery, another instrument group, another shifter encompass, and another directing wheel. The touchscreen infotainment framework on SE and GT models now underpins Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and programmed HID headlights are presently offered on the GT. The trim level progressive system is presently ES, SE, and GT, coordinating other Mitsubishi models and supplanting the past DE and ES models.

More than meets the eye

Mitsubishi didn't stop there in redesigning the Mirage, notwithstanding. The 1.2-liter inline-three motor gets new roller rockers to help its yield from 74 to a gigantic 78 hp, while torque is unaltered at 74 lb-ft. The front brake circles and raise drums are both now bigger, the suspension spring and damper rates have been balanced, and there is another front skeleton support to harden the auto.

Regardless of the numerous jokes made about the scratch and dent section Mirage, it remains an immense accomplishment for Mitsubishi in the U.S., offering 19,168 units here so far this year - Mitsubishi's second top of the line auto in America, after the Outlander Sport hybrid. With these progressions to tidy its look and enhance its allure, those numbers are just prone to increment.

One thing unrealistic to increment an excessive amount of is valuing. We don't expect a huge hop from the 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage's value scope of $13,805 to $16,205, which means the 2017 model will at present be one of America's least expensive autos when it goes at a bargain in spring 2016
