Mitsubishi announces two world premieres for the 42nd edition Tokyo Motor Show. These are the 2013 Mitsubishi Mirage and the PX-MiEV II Concept.
The Mirage is a low cost compact hatch that puts accent on fuel efficiency, which will initially go on sale in Thailand in March 2012, and then will gradually enter other markets.
Its measurements are 3,710 m in length, 1,665 m in width and 1,490 m in height, and according to the company it can accommodate up to 5 passengers.
This B segment model which is mainly addressing emerging markets is powered by a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder MIVEC engine with Auto Stop & Go which will spin the front wheels via a CVT transmission. Certain markets will get a 1.2-litre engine, while in its most efficient form the Mitsubishi Mirage will return 30 Km/L the equivalent of around 3.3-litres of fuel per 100 Km.
The Mirage will come equipped with low rolling resistance tires plus regenerative braking technology depending on the model.
