2014 Mitsubishi Mirage: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2014 is the Mirage itself: it returned to the U.S. as an all-new five-door hatchback after a long absence. This is a full new-generation year, not a minor update.
About the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage
All-new Mirage hatchback generation for the U.S.; first North American model year after the Mirage name returned to the market.
Mitsubishi positions the Mirage as a very small five-door hatchback built for easy city driving, low fuel use, and simple everyday practicality. The brand leans on its maneuverable size, roomy-for-its-footprint cabin, and unusually strong gas mileage rather than speed or luxury. Against other tiny hatchbacks, the Mirage’s draw is straightforward commuter duty with useful everyday hardware such as automatic climate control, folding rear seats, and a hatchback cargo area.
Mitsubishi positioned the Mirage as a small, fuel-focused commuter that is easy to maneuver in the city. The DE covers everyday needs with automatic climate control, power accessories, USB audio, and a split-folding rear seat. The ES is the more polished version, with passive entry, push-button start, Bluetooth, cruise control, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
