In a report by Visor PH, the biggest contributor of MMPC last year is the Mirage G4 with 8,638 units sold, accounting for 23 percent of the total sales. One can expect that the Mirage G4 was chosen by many Filipino car buyers since it offers excellent fuel consumption rating, affordable pricing that starts at Php 735,000, and ample interior and cargo space.
Enabling the Mirage G4’s reputable fuel consumption rating is its 1.2-liter inline-3 gasoline engine good for 77 hp and 100 Nm of torque. The engine is paired to either a 5-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission (CVT), depending on the variant. Overall, the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 comes with a 21 km/L fuel consumption as claimed by Mitsubishi.
