2022 Mitsubishi Mirage ES

The 2022 Mitsubishi Mirage ES CVT is the little car that could—if by “could,” you mean zip around town sipping fuel like it’s an artisanal espresso. Powered by a 1.2-liter 3-cylinder engine churning out a mighty 78 horsepower, this car is proof that good things come in small (and efficient) packages. With an impressive EPA-estimated 39 mpg combined, the Mirage laughs in the face of gas station visits, leaving you more cash for, well, anything else. Equipped with a CVT, the driving experience is smoother than your favorite guilty-pleasure pop song. Sure, it’s not winning any drag races, but it will get you where you’re going with a smile—and possibly a wave from other subcompact fans. The Mirage ES comes with a charming set of standard features, including a 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity, and a rearview camera. It even has Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, so you can queue up your road trip playlist in style. The interior is cozy but surprisingly roomy for a car that could practically park in your pocket. On the outside, the Mirage flaunts its compact charm with a cheeky front grille and cute proportions that make it as approachable as it is maneuverable. Whether you’re navigating tight city streets or squeezing into a parking spot the size of a postage stamp, this car has your back. So, if you’re looking for a car that’s light on gas, easy on the wallet, and guaranteed to put a grin on your face, the 2022 Mitsubishi Mirage ES CVT is ready to be your trusty sidekick in the great adventure of everyday life.
