Mitsubishi Mirage 2015
OVERVIEW
Mitsubishi Motors, division of the giant Mitsubishi Corporation, is
one of the most important Asian brands in what refers to the manufacture
of vehicles, especially cars and light trucks. It has a significant
global presence with numerous products, and it has been the first
manufacturer of automobiles in the Japan.
Its logo consists of
three diamonds, derived in turn from the Mitsubishi brand name: a
mixture of "Mitsu" and "Hishi", meaning three and diamond respectively.
Their cars have a reputation for rugged, solvents and very well made in
mechanics. In addition brand image is looked after to the end, so the
service to the client and the quality of their products is first.
The Japanese car manufacturer, Mitsubishi had showcased the sketch of
its global small car, at the 2011 Geneva Auto Expo and the small car has
popped up at the Tokyo Motor Show in December, 2011. Mirage can head
towards India and can arrive next year after being launched in Thailand
in March, 2012 followed by the launch in Japan sometime during the mid
2012. At an expected price of Rs 5 lakh, Mirage could
genuinely turn out to be a life-saver for Mitsubishi as hatchback sector
occupies the major chunk of car sales in India.
Engine & Specs
Mitsubishi Mirage is a conventional looking hatchback that suitably
qualifies as an urban car. It certainly cannot boasts about its
appearance but for mileage, Mirage gives a thumps up. With just a 1.0
litre 3 cylinder petrol engine under the hood in Japanese version,
Mirage is capable of delivering a good 30 kmpl of mileage. The figure
will be challenging to be attained in Indian version as experts suggest
that a slightly powerful 1.2 L petrol engine will make it to Indian
market. It will be a dicey thing to guess the launch date of the car in
India. All Mirage models come standard with dual front, front-side and
full-length side curtain airbags in addition to traction and stability
control systems and Brake Assist.
Exterior
The exterior looks simple with its two-tier grille and small headlamps. The lines give it a moderate look, but the emphasis is on utility and practicality. The Mitsubishi logo placed below the bonnet is attractive and body colored bumper and fog lamps lend it some elegance. The rear looks better with rear wiper, body colored boot lid opener and the Mitsubishi badge. The high mount stop lamp on the rear spoiler enhances the aerodynamic quotient as well. The length is under 4m, so the car qualifies for tax sops too.
Interior
The mirage is really focuses on compactness, affordability and fuel efficiency. However, the interior has metallic accents and sporty instrument cluster. The central console has two AC vents with audio system and the CVT gear box looks attractive. Though the two color theme is retained inside, the seats are comfortable. Fog lamps, airbags, tainted glass and fine seats give the car an edge. Power windows and rear wiper with defogger are expected. Optional leather seats and foldable back seats are among other features that offers comfortable ride.
