2023 Mitsubishi Mirage
While Mitsubishi Motors continues to build its lineup in Japan and other countries overseas, the North American market has mostly SUVs. The Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback and Mirage G4 sedan add a little variety to the product line, but rumors overseas suggest one or both of these models may be coming to an end. With the automaker switching over to electric vehicles (EVs) and pushing the Outlander PHEV for 2022 and 2023, some changes may come, but these models continue to return every year. Check out the specs for the 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage.
