The 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage has been a staple of Mitsubishi’s car line for some time now, but the line is about to get a spark coming in the coming year.

Aside from newer vehicles added to the lineup, the new Mirage is going to get a makeover in the form of larger trunk space. While most people overlook this aspect of vehicles, it is a very critical decision maker when it comes to growing families or single individuals looking to carry a lot of cargo. With this in mind, Mitsubishi is definitely appealing to those demographics with its new rendition of the Mirage.

The new Mirage will feature a bigger trunk in addition to a myriad of other new features. The Mirage, while not the prettiest vehicle on the market, is undoubtedly one of the most economical for a number of reasons. It gets a whopping 37 miles per gallon, and its large truck space and ample cabin are available for only $16,000 starting.

It’s hard to beat all of those features for just $16,000, and it’s the primary reason why Mitsubishi hopes this affordable economical automobile will pack a punch in the coming calendar year as far as sales are concerned. Prior renditions of the Mirage were all hatchback variants, but this new-look Mirage is a standard four-door sedan.

Rather than a lower, shorter profile, the Mirage now looks noticeably “taller” and seems to almost reach high into sky in comparison to earlier models. Those looking for a high-precision sports car should look elsewhere. The Mirage only comes in automatic transmission, but those looking to shell out a little more for more customization should look at the Mirage SE, the sports edition of the vehicle.

Despite its competitive price and relatively low performance value, the car does lack a plug-in power system, meaning it is no hybrid and is all electric. Regardless, for its price point, economical mileage, and greater trunk space, there is no denying that the all-new 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage is a great-buy for the entry-level car consumer.
