Question 1

What is the price of the 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage in Canada and what trim levels are available?

Accepted Answer

The 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage is the least expensive new car on the Canadian market. Its MSRP starts at approximately $15,998 for the ES trim with a 5-speed manual transmission and climbs to around $22,498 for the fully equipped GT CVT. Available trims are ES, SE, LE, GT and Ralliart. The SE CVT starts around $18,998, offering a continuously variable automatic transmission and a more complete infotainment system. The 1.2-litre MIVEC 3-cylinder engine produces 78 horsepower and 74 lb-ft of torque — modest but sufficient for urban use. Official fuel consumption of 5.9 L/100 km city and 5.0 L/100 km highway makes it one of the most fuel-efficient gasoline vehicles in Canada. For first-time drivers, students, or urban commuters looking for an affordable new vehicle, the 2024 Mirage remains a unique proposition in Canada.

Question 2

Is the 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage a sensible purchase in 2024 or is a used car a better option?

Accepted Answer

The Mirage 2024 makes sense in specific scenarios: limited budget with preference for new, low insurance costs (typically $1,000 to $1,400/year depending on province), minimal fuel costs, and the security of a 10-year/160,000 km powertrain warranty — the best factory warranty in the Canadian market. However, its 78 hp can feel insufficient on highways or during passing manoeuvres, particularly with passengers or in extreme cold that reduces performance. Compared to a used vehicle at a similar price (e.g., Honda Civic 2018-2019 around $14,000-$17,000), the Mirage loses on power, interior finish and comfort, but wins on warranty coverage, predictable reliability and lower maintenance costs. The SE or LE CVT trim is the most versatile — it includes Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, automatic climate control and adaptive cruise control, sufficient for daily urban use.

Question 3

Is the 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage safe and what driver assistance systems are included?

Accepted Answer

The 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage includes the Mitsubishi Safety Shield system as standard, which comprises automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection (FCM), blind spot warning (BSW, SE trims and above), lane departure warning (LDW), and rear cross-traffic alert (RCTA). Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is standard. Adaptive cruise control is added on GT and Ralliart versions. According to IIHS and Transport Canada data, the Mirage achieves adequate but not exceptional results — it doesn't feature the same rigid structure as larger and heavier vehicles. To maximize safety on Canadian roads, investing in quality winter tires is the highest-impact safety upgrade for a small light vehicle, with a budget of $900 to $1,200 for a complete set. The Mirage remains a sensible choice for low-mileage urban drivers prioritizing budget over versatility.
