TRANSMISSION OPTIONS

Two great transmission choices

The 2020 Mirage features two transmission options to suit your driving needs. Choose between the 5-speed manual transmission for direct control, or the ultra-efficient and smooth Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) which offers smooth acceleration and efficiently selected gear ratios in all driving conditions.

5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION

Total control on any journey

A strong and reliable manual transmission, giving you five speeds for total control on any journey. The quick and easy gear change, combined with light clutch control makes for a sportier feel in the city and on the country lanes.

MITSUBISHI MIVEC TECHNOLOGY

High power output. Low fuel consumption

The Mirage comes equipped with a highly efficient MIVEC engine. MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control system) is the name for engines equipped with a variable valve timing mechanism developed by Mitsubishi Motors. We’ve been focussing on valve timing technology because we discovered it's the way to achieve high power output, low fuel consumption and low CO2 emissions.

ENGINE DETAILS – AUTO STOP AND GO (AS&G)

Smooth stop and starts

Auto Stop & Go reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by automatically shutting off the engine when the vehicle is stationary, such as when you're waiting at traffic lights. When you remove your foot from the brake pedal, the engine restarts immediately.

ENGINE DETAILS – ECO DRIVE ASSIST

A fuel-efficient drive

To show you exactly how fuel-efficient your driving is, we created Eco Drive Assist system. It's very immediate and visual: the more green lights you see on the dash display, the more eco-friendly your driving is. This not only helps you save fuel, in the long run, you'll also save money.
