Everyday Comfort, Connectivity, and Design
Inside, the 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage is equipped with practical technology that enhances the driving experience.

Ownership Confidence and Practical Driving Experience
Practicality is another area where the 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage excels.

Both body styles are easy to maneuver in city settings yet stable enough for highway driving.
