The All new Mirage 2012 developed on the concepts of Mitsubishi’s new greener direction. A sleek, aerodynamic, and compact Rally-inspired car that would cater to the needs of growing urban communities is 5-seater “eco-car” which adults can seat comfortably.

A highly fuel efficient car which uses the MIVEC* system which has a maximum power of 78Ps / 6000rpm and has a maximum torque of 100N-m / 4000rpm not to mention its Standout economy fuel consumption of 21km/L**

MIVEC


MIVEC = Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control system

The dual-intake valve camshaft enables changing between low-speed and high-speed modes, resulting in easy operation from low to high rpms, improving the driving experience when starting from a stop light, merging onto the freeway, or accelerating to overtake another car. In the pursuit of pure driving enjoyment, potentially incompatible goals like fuel economy, environment-friendliness, and clean driving have all been achieved.

**1.2 L DOHC 12-valve MIVEC(3A92)

Mitsubishi has kept its word for providing Standout Value. A keyless operation system plus an impressive Engine start/stop button. A full auto climate control system which gives the user an easy of the climate settings, you do nothing but dial in the temp, and the system takes care of the rest. An intelligent multi-Information Display, Power window, a Multimedia Entertainment System with a USB port.

What I like this eco-car is its safety feature. The Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution R.I.S.E. Body structure system. For the event of a collision, it reduces the impact to the occupant for both driver and passengers maintaining the available survival space. Plus the Anti-locking Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution for a superior controlled braking, even in a difficult driving condition and terrain. A dual stage Airbags, Seatbelts with Pretensioner and the Immobilizer System. An anti-theft mechanism that prevents an automobile’s engine from starting unless the correct ignition key or other device is present. This device prevents thieves from starting the car by a method known as hot wiring.

Handling is also superb from choices of INVECS-III CVT Automatic transmission and a 5-speed manual transmission. An Electric Power Steering for easy an comfortable driving. Unlike the other eco-cars Mirage 2012 is available in various colors:

Lemonade Yellow Metallic (Y25)
Pop Green Metallic (F24)
Medium Blue Mica (T69)
Red Metallic (P19)
Cool Silver Metallic (A66)
White Pearl (W54)
Eisen Gray Mica (A02)
Black Mica (X08)
