“Mitsubishi Mirage G4 is great if you need an easy going and easy to drive reliable car for around town. Not a lot of power, it's a 3-cylinder and acts accordingly. Amazing mileage and plenty of trunk space. Back seat does sit 3, but not 3 adults. Perfect for kids back there.”
2019 Mitsubishi Mirage: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage gets a modest trim-focused update led by the new LE hatchback. It is not a redesign, and the basic engine, front-wheel-drive layout, and overall formula carry over.
About the 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage
Sixth-generation Mirage family, introduced in the U.S. for 2014; 2019 is a late-cycle pre-refresh year just before the 2020 updates.
Mitsubishi positioned the Mirage as straightforward, high-mpg transportation for drivers who care most about efficiency, easy parking, and simple daily usability. The hatchback leans on city-friendly size and cargo flexibility, while the Mirage G4 sedan adds a larger trunk and slightly more rear-seat usefulness. What separates the Mirage from rivals is not power or luxury, but a very small footprint, low fuel use, and enough basic tech to make commuting and errands easy.
The Mirage remains focused on simple, fuel-conscious transportation, with ES serving as the straightforward entry trim and SE adding smartphone integration and convenience features. The new LE hatchback adds heated front seats, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a standard CVT, while RF emphasizes upgraded Rockford Fosgate audio and GT tops the hatchback range with HID headlights and heated seats.

2019 Mitsubishi Mirage
(104 reviews)
“If you don't do a lot of travelling where you need more storage, this car is perfect for you. It's great for commuting to and from work with impressive fuel economy.”
“If you are looking for a fast vehicle this is not the one for you. Acceleration is not superior in this vehicle. Sort of feels like driving a Jeep when on the highway, it blows around quite a bit with high speeds.”
