About the 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage
6th-generation Mirage hatchback, second U.S. model year after the all-new 2014 launch; pre-refresh version before the U.S.-market 2017 facelift.
Mitsubishi positioned the Mirage as a simple five-door hatchback built around very low fuel use, easy city driving, and low ownership costs. Its main draw was delivering standout gas mileage from a regular gasoline engine without hybrid complexity, while still giving even lower trims useful comfort features like automatic climate control and power windows. The short body, light steering, hatchback cargo flexibility, and small-engine thrift made it a practical commuter and urban runabout for first-time drivers, retirees, and anyone who wanted basic transportation with a few modern essentials.
The 2015 Mirage remains a small, economy-focused hatchback. The DE covers the basics with automatic climate control, keyless entry, and a split-folding rear seat, while the ES adds conveniences such as push-button start, Bluetooth, cruise control, and alloy wheels. The new RF is the sound-focused version, built around a 300-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system with dual subwoofers.
