2015 Mitsubishi Mirage becomes most affordable vehicle

The year 2014 appears to be very successful for Japanese automakers, at least in the United States. After the 2014 Nissan Versa Note became one of the 10 coolest cars under $ 18,000, now the 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage has been named “the most affordable vehicle shoppers can buy” by Cars.com. The title has been awarded by following guidelines that include equipment, destination fees and anticipated 5-year fuel costs to find the most affordable vehicle to buy and own at the same time.

The 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage DE, in particular, is the winner. The car comes with a CTV transmission, a Bluetooth capability and a price of USD 15 115, which is savings of more than USD 1300 over the car that came in second. The fuel efficiency of the 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage was also a factor – the car achieves US 40 mpg (5.88 liters per 100 km) of fuel consumption, which means owners will likely spend USD 7000 on fuel in five years, which is USD 500 less than the second-place vehicle.

“When we considered the most affordable cars, it was important that we looked only at models equipped with basic but important options like an automatic transmission and power windows and locks,” said Joe Wiesenfelder, Cars.com’s Executive Editor. “We wanted to help consumers who want an incredibly affordable car find one that also includes the niceties that almost every shopper has come to expect.”

The 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage is based around a 1.2-liter 3-cylinder DOHC engine and offers a 5-speed manual gearbox or the more advanced continuously-variable transmission (CVT). Standard safety features include seven air bags and the Mirage features one of the best protection plans in the entire industry: a 10-year/100 000-mile powertrain limited warranty, a fully transferrable 5-year/60 000-mile new vehicle limited warranty, a 7-year/100 000 mile anti-corrosion/perforation limited warranty and a 5-year/unlimited mileage roadside assistance program.

Mitsubishi Enhances 2015 Mirage

2015 Mitsubishi Mirage is getting upgrades just like its bigger brother – the Outlander. The model has been regarded as Americas most fuel efficient vehicle, delivering an EPA estimated fuel efficiency of 40 mpg combined. This is due to the three-cylinder engine, which it hides under its hood. The car is getting a wide variety of standard and available features for the new model year, including added safety, technology, exterior and interior treatments. The car will be offered as a five door and in two trim grades: DE and ES.

Mirage DE will deliver great acoustic experience to its occupants because it includes the 4 speaker 140-watt AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system with USB input. In addition, they will also enjoy automatic climate control, high-gloss piano black center console trim, keyless entry with panic alarm, tilt steering, power windows with driver’s side auto-up/down, variable intermittent wipers, rear seat heater ducts, body-colored power side mirrors, door handles and tailgate handle.

Of course, the ES grade is built over the DE but adds Bluetooth, One-Touch Start/Stop engine switch, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, cruise control and leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. It will ride on 14-inch aluminum alloy wheels and will also have fog lights. Optional for both grades are the LED lights, Front and Rear Park Assist Sensors, Exterior and Chrome Packages, as well as the Navigation Package.

2015 Mirage is driven by the 1.2-liter 3-cylinder DOHC engine. It includes the latest version of Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control variable valve-timing system. This system is responsible for the maximized fuel efficiency and power output as well as the reduced CO2 emissions.

Moreover, the unit generates 74 hp (54 kW) at 6000 rpm and 100 Nm (74 lb.-ft.) of torque at 4000 rpm. It can be combined with either a precise shifting 5-speed manual or a high-tech continuously-variable transmission.

In terms of safety and technology, Mirage has it all that’s needed for convenient and tranquil ride. Precisely, Mitsubishi has included a seven air bag Supplemental Restraint System, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes with Electronic Brake-force Distribution and Brake Assist, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Active Stability Control with Traction Control Logic and Hill Start Assist.

New for the 2015 model year are the brake override system and the Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) impact-absorbing safety cell technology. The first one applies simultaneously the brake and accelerator pedals, while the vehicle is moving, and at the same time makes the engine ECU override the accelerator’s input and gives priority to the brakes. The second safety technology works in event of a collision. Its structure helps dissipate kinetic energy away from the driver and passengers.

There are eight exterior paint finishes for the Mirage: Sapphire Blue, Kiwi Green, Infra Red, Plasma Purple, Cloud White, Mystic Black, Starlight Silver and Thunder Gray. 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage is currently available at dealerships with a starting price of $12,995 USD for the DE grade and $14,295 USD for the ES grade.
