SPIED: Mitsubishi Mirage spotted on our roads

SPIED: Mitsubishi Mirage spotted on our roads

Reader Stephen Khong managed to snap this picture of the sixth-gen Mitsubishi Mirage near Ara Damansara, not too far from Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia’s office in Saujana. We last spotted an example in April, just a week or so after it began production at the Laem Chabang plant in Thailand.

That car, which had its face and rear covered up, had a rear roof spoiler with integrated third brake light, and was painted in Eisen Grey Mica. This one is painted in what appears to be Pop Green Metallic – another exterior colour option for us, perhaps – and the roof spoiler is clearly visible.

No official word yet on when we’ll be getting the Mirage here, if at all, but we do know there has been considerable interest in the car across the border, with more than 15,000 orders received in the first month.

The Mirage has a 1.2 litre 3A92 three-cylinder MIVEC making 78 PS at 6,000 rpm and 100 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm.

    This car has been a big hit at thailand out of expectation! If Mitsubishi Malaysia is humble, price it at rm50k, then will have the same wow sales effect! above Rm60k majority will either go for Myvi or Preve already.

    If the price is higher than RM50k, then there’s really nothing to shout about of the car.

    Is this car going to be RM25/35k soon? Or must we wait until PKR won?

    Savvy is a much better car. Design better, better engine (4 cyclinder compare to 3 cyclinder) and has superb handling which i doubt this car will have.

    This looks more like VIVA replacement than Savvy replacement.
