Mitsubishi has teased its duo of compact models, the Attrage and Mirage which are due to be launched in facelifted form on November 18 in Thailand. As seen in the teaser image here, the forthcoming updated models will wear the Japanese automaker’s ‘Dynamic Shield’ frontal treatment, already employed on the company’s larger models such as the Triton pick-up truck and the Expander MPV.
The A-segment sedan and hatchback adapts the Dynamic Shield face from its larger siblings with headlamp designs that are not as narrow as those on the aforementioned models, while the chrome split ‘X’ visually connects the base of the headlamp to the middle and the lower edge of the front bumper.
This iteration of the Mirage is the second facelift for the sixth-generation car, which was launched in 2011 and which received its first facelift in 2015. Classed as Phase 2 eco cars in Thailand, these were powered by the company’s 1.2 litre three-cylinder engine that is paired to either a five-speed manual gearbox or CVT. Phase 2 regulations require that CO2 emissions not exceed 100 g/km and consumption of at least 23.25 km/litre, and are likely to be carried over for this update, Headlight Mag reported last month.
The new look for the Mirage and Attrage is the latest application of the Dynamic Shield face, following the third facelift of the Mitsubishi ASX crossover which made its debut earlier this year, as well as the eK Wagon and eK X kei-class models launched in April.
Manufactured in the Laem Chabang Plant of Mitsubishi Motors Thailand, 140,000 units of the Mirage and Attrage were sold in the 2018 financial year, the automaker noted.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
pity to Mitsubishi. Always keep recycle the old models. Even your ex-partner is moving forward with new alliance.
Proton, moving forwards
Mitsubishi, moving backwards.
At least Mitsubishi creates their own game changing cars while Proton is still rebadging cars until today. Worse, Proton rebadges China cars…
At least Proton dare to sell their Satria Neo in Mitsubishi homeland while Mitsubishi was scared to sell their Evos here.
Worse, they continue to sell ancient Lancer which even Proton have stopped producing. That shows how much Proton has advanced and Mitsubishi has stagnated ever since they got sold to Nissan.
Still with the dugong shape.
LOL Mitsubishi Attrage copy Saga3 bontot??
Lol.. reaching Almera Dugong style?
Mitsubishi falls after they start to focus on SUV & pickup truck segments. I remember growing up idolizing the Mitsubishi Evo as my dream car, their business was going well too. I wonder why they just decided to kill the Evo production since it could stay as a legendary sedan alongside the Supra & GTR. What a waste.
I own the Attrage, it is a good car. It is more roomy than Saga and Bezza. The car is well thought off. Very economical, i drive the car untill I forgot to fill up with petrol. Two times the car cough due to lack of fuel. It is that frugal.
I change the 15 inch rims to 14 inch for more rubber to ply through our rough road filled with potholes. I t ride smoothly now…..
I wish Mitsubishi design a stationwagon version of the Attrage. It would be great for business man and woman.
A lot of reviewer gave a bad review, thinking it is a sport car. It is NOT. It is a fuel.economy car. If one drive it normally, it will reward them with a good car. It does not mean it is slow…it drive fast and have the strength to haul 4 people weigh 85 kilo and above pretty fast.
However would prefer an analogue fuel meter instead of bargraph, that suddenly jumped from 3 bar to 1 bar. Would prefer a temperature gauge…..
Nice try Mitsu salesman, but we’re still note buying your POS.
