About Mitsubishi Mirage
The Mitsubishi Mirage is a car series produced by the Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi from 1978 until 2003 and again in 2012. The hatchback version between 1978 and 2003 was classified as subcompact cars, while the sedan and station wagon versions, marketed as the Mitsubishi Lancer, were regarded as compact vehicles. The liftback, which was introduced in 1988, complemented the sedan version as an additional compact, and the 1991 coupé version was within the subcompact range. Now the Mitsubishi Mirage is a subcompact hatchback and sedan replacing the Colt on sale from 2002 to 2012. There are generally six generations of Mirages.
In response to the oil crisis in 1973, the company launched the first generation Mazda Mirage as a front-wheel-drive three-door hatchback in March 1978, together with a longer five-door hatchback version in September of the same year. It was sold as an entry-level model borrowing chassis from A151 to 153 for the three-doors, from A155, and up for the five-doors. The second-generation Mazda Mirage was launched in Japan in 1983, dividing itself from the Lancer Fiore. Its station wagon version was added in 1985, its four-wheel-drive wagon version became available in the second half of 1986 equipped with a 1.8-liter gasoline engine.

The third generation Mazda Mirage became a more rounded version designed by Masaru Furukawa and engineered by Yasukichi Akamatsu. The basic model was a three-door hatchback with an upright tailgate and large glasshouse, and the sedan was later introduced in January 1988, appearing with distinct almost vertical rear glass inspired by Galant. Engines shifted to the 1.3- and 1.5-liter Orion gasoline inline-fours and 1.8-liter Saturn gasoline inline-four. The fourth generation Mazda Mirage was released in October 1991 alongside Lancer and its shape even became rounder. Also, a new platform was applied, with the common front-wheel drive and the 1.3- to 1.8-liter naturally-aspirated gasoline inline-four engines, as well as the 1.8 and 2.0-liter turbocharged or diesel engines.
The fifth-generation Mazda Mirage was released to Japan under the background of the fragile post-bubble economy, so the shrink in size was unavoidable. Three versions were offered in total, including the three-door hatchback and sedan, as well as the two-door coupe. Due to the changes, Mazda Mirage's clarification shifted from subcompact to compact in the United States. The facelift arrived in 1997. The six-generation Mazda Mirage, whose predecessor was the Colt, appeared in 2012 based on a concept car at the 2011 Geneva Auto Show under the model code A00. It was equipped with a 1.0L or a 1.2L petrol engine, with a 5-speed Mitsubishi F5MDB manual or a Jatco JF015E (CVT-7) INVECS-III CVT transmission.
