Mitsubishi gives the Mirage sedan a cleaner, freshly styled front end.
Sedan remains on sale across ASEAN markets under the Attrage name.
Its Mirage hatchback sibling carries on unchanged for the time being.
America lost the Mitsubishi Mirage after the 2024 model year, and with it went the only new car in the country priced under $20,000 . Budget buyers are still sore about it. The rest of the world, however, gets to keep the subcompact model around a while longer. Thailand has just rolled out a facelifted Attrage sedan, its name for the Mirage, stretching the little car’s lifecycle even further.

The current Mirage first arrived in 2011, which makes the basic design 15 years old at this point, an eternity in a segment where most rivals have turned over two or three times. Mitsubishi has fought to keep it current all the same, working through facelifts in 2015 and 2019 before landing on this latest 2026 update.

The 2026 car’s big change is up front, where a sportier grille carries a faint echo of the long-discontinued Lancer Evolution . The designers also reworked the Dynamic Shield elements, now thicker and finished in black rather than chrome. The bumper intakes with their integrated fog lights and the headlights carry over from the 2019 facelift, as does the rest of the bodywork.

Interestingly, the company hasn’t given the Mirage hatchback the same attention, and it soldiers on with the older look for now.

The interior appears untouched, with the center console still hosting a familiar 7-inch infotainment display next to an analog instrument cluster. Other amenities include a rear center armrest with cup holders, cruise control, a stop-start system, keyless entry, an immobilizer, a tire repair kit, and a sizeable cargo area.

The safety kit is limited to a Forward Collision Mitigation Low Speed Range System and a Radar Sensing Misacceleration Mitigation System (RMS-Forward) that is able to detect obstacles up to 4 m (13 feet) ahead. However, those are only available in the high-spec Smart trim.

Under the hood lies a familiar naturally-aspirated 1.2-liter MIVEC engine producing 78 hp (58 kW / 79 PS) and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) of torque. Power is transmitted to the front axle exclusively via a CVT gearbox.
The updated Attrage holds a starting price of 564,000 Thai Baht ($17,000) in Thailand . The Mirage hatchback undercuts it, opening at 509,000 Thai Baht ($15,300).
