The New Mitsubishi Mirage G4 once again proves it is the smart choice for a fuel-efficient and practical sub-compact sedan, based on results of a fuel economy run held last November 13, 2021, under the supervision of the Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP) and facilitated by Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC).
After a Highway Test heading Northbound to SCTEX/TPLEX with a total distance of 236.227 km, the New Mitsubishi Mirage G4 GLS 1.2G CVT variant tallied an impressive fuel mileage of 22.823km/L. In order to simulate real-life driving conditions, the following parameters were enacted:
- Vehicles were at full fuel capacity and tire pressure set at 32psi
- Speed at an average of 80kph on the highway while observing traffic regulations and limits
- 3 passengers on board with no extra baggage and air-conditioning placed to low cool thermostat and lowest blower setting
In this latest iteration of the Mirage with a more modernized look plus interior upgrades, fuel efficiency is still at its core. So whether going around city streets or traveling through highways, the New Mitsubishi Mirage yields excellent fuel efficiency without affecting performance and acceleration.
Equipped with a 1.2-liter 3-cylinder MIVEC engine that produces 76hp and 100Nm of torque, it makes use of a variable valve timing system that significantly moderates engine load and friction and enables an Eco Drive Assist function, thus ensuring better fuel economy and smarter drives.
The locally produced model has a light yet high-tensile body that does not compromise safety and comfort with its spacious legroom and trunk. There is enough room to have friends and family aboard, plus weekend gear.
“The Mitsubishi Mirage G4 is a global model developed on three concepts, high fuel efficiency, affordability, and easy to drive. All of which we uphold to our customers with and through our new local slogan Life Made Better,” said Hara Takeshi, MMPC president & CEO. “The positive results from the recently concluded Fuel Economy Run together with AAP supports Mitsubishi’s commitment to uplift the ownership experience of Filipinos. No better way to manifest this than through a vehicle that is easy on the pockets and allows them to follow their hearts and be ‘G4’ anything.”
Available in three trim levels, the Mitsubishi Mirage GLS CVT is the top of the line, followed by the GLX CVT and GLX MT variants. It comes in eight body colors namely Wine Red, Pyrenese Black, Savanna White, Virgil Gray, Majestic Red, Medium Blue Mica, Sunrise Orange, and Cool Silver Metallic.
