2026 Mitsubishi Mirage review

Mitsubishi Mirage: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review

8.5/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Mitsubishi Mirage sits near the top of its class. Standard driver-assist suite; efficient in mixed driving. Rear headroom is tight for tall passengers and road noise on coarse pavement, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $18,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

Good, not perfect

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the fuel economy still impresses passengers.

★★★★☆Marcus C. · Corpus Christi, TX · 14 months owned
Solid, with a few quirks

Replaced an older Mitsubishi with this one. Big step up in fuel economy; I'd like a little more rear headroom.

★★★★☆Nadia R. · Charlotte, NC · 12 months owned
Solid, with a few quirks

Bought it for the a long commute and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
