Is the 2016 Mitsubishi Mirage a hatch or a sedan?

Both were sold in Australia. The Mirage LA hatch is a 5-door light car with a 235L boot and 35L tank, while the Mirage sedan is a 4-door with a much larger 450L boot and a 42L tank. Both use the same 1.2L 57kW petrol engine.

How economical is the 2016 Mirage?

Very. Mitsubishi's ADR81/02 combined figures are as low as 4.6L/100km for the ES hatch and around 4.8-4.9L/100km for LS and sedan variants, making it one of the thriftiest petrol cars of its era.

The 2016 Mitsubishi Mirage (LA-series) is a light city car sold in Australia as a 5-door hatch and a 4-door sedan, both powered by a frugal 1.2-litre 3-cylinder MIVEC petrol engine (57kW/100Nm) driving the front wheels via a 5-speed manual or a CVT auto. Used buyers get a genuinely cheap-to-run runabout with a 5-star ANCAP rating, six airbags and a tight 4.6m turning circle, though the hatch's 235L boot and modest performance mark it as a budget commuter. The top LS trim adds alloy wheels, climate control, cruise control and Bluetooth over the entry ES.

The Series III Mirage is a light hatch built to a price, with a 1.2-litre three-cylinder making 57kW and 100Nm and a choice of five-speed manual or CVT. It is one of the lowest-emitting non-hybrid cars Australia sold at the time, at 109g/km CO2 for the ES. The boot is small at 235 litres, and Mitsubishi backed it with a conditional 10-year warranty.
