 So if you guys will go back to another one, if you're new to the channel, I am Goldpony, I do new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube. And today, we are in the brand new 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage G4, courtesy of younger Mitsubishi in Hagerstown, Maryland. For more information on their inventory, please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. And so, yes, it is down pouring today, but that's okay. Wanted to check out this car because there are several changes for the 2024 model year. One of them being you now get two years or 30,000 miles of complimentary maintenance. So that's gonna save you a little bit of money there. You get great MPGs in this thing, get America's Best Warranty being five years, 60,000 mile, bumper to bumper, 10 years, 100,000 miles on the powertrain. You actually get a double powertrain warranty at Younger Mitsubishi here in Hagerstown, which is valid nationwide, so that's pretty cool. And this thing also comes in at a very affordable price, right around $18,000, so you gotta love that as well. So, ultimately in this video, we will be testing out and going over everything about this one, from acceleration to braking, steering field, ride quality, sound system, exhaust clip, all that fun stuff. So, having said all of that, what do you gotta say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing. As you can imagine, there are a few different trim levels for the Mirage G4. First one being the ES, which is the one we are actually in today, starting at $17,795, which is a $550 buck for the 2023 model year, in case you were curious. LE for $18,495, SE for $19,595, and lastly, the BE, also known as the Block Edition, going for $19,195. But regardless of trim level that you go with, the power plant on the Mirage G4 is going to be the same. Powering this little beast is a 1.2 liter naturally aspirated inline three cylinder, putting out 76 horsepower at 6,000 RPM, 74 pound-feet of torque coming in at 4,000 RPM, power being set to the front wheels through a CVT, zero to 60 time, approximately 12.8 seconds. We're gonna give that a go a little bit later in this video, but MPG number's then coming in at 35 in the city, 41 on the highway, taking regular unleaded fuel, you gotta love that. So now that we got all of that out of the way, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and find their straightaway. Let's put the acceleration here to the test in the rain, keep that in mind, and let's see how quickly we can get our new 2024 Mirage G4 here up to speed. All right, here we go. Oh gosh. No, we're leaving the car behind us in the dust, but they're probably not trying. We're trying. All right, that's enough. That's enough, I'm gonna let it go for a little bit. It's slow, it's definitely, it's probably the slowest car in existence right now, but having said that, I guess the trade-off is you get really good MPGs, and as far as marching on to the highway goes, it's one of those things where you learn how to drive the car the more you drive it. So it's kind of like one of those things where there's visibility in sports cars, you learn how to drive the car the more you drive it. So keep in mind, you're not gonna have that much power from marching on to the highway, so just either give it a little more time or whatever you need to do when it comes to those situations, but certainly not the quickest thing in the world. This is a three-cylinder engine after all, and it's not even turbocharged though. Anyways, to go along with that acceleration is always braking is equally important. So you will find front disc rear drum brakes coming standard on the Mirage G4. As far as that 60-zero stopping distance goes, that comes in at 127 feet. As far as a braking feel goes, it actually leans a little bit more on the firmer side of things though. So I actually don't mind the feel to the braking, that number itself isn't the best of course, but the braking feel will actually do enough to get by, so no issues there. And I have seen as bad as 60-zero in 139 feet, so 127, that's perfectly fine, it'll get the job done. The touching on suspension and handling up front, you're gonna get a McPherson strut front suspension in the back, torsion beam rear axle. As far as ride quality goes, you do definitely tend to feel a little bit more on the road in this thing. That is what this car essentially, that's what you should expect. So it's smaller wheels, smaller tires, and it's a compact car, so yeah. You can feel a good bit. As far as road noise goes, and cabin noise and all that fun stuff, again, you can hear a good bit, especially when you really get on the gas. The engine noise is pretty pronounced, but if you're a car guy or girl, that shouldn't bother you. And honestly, the engine noise doesn't bother me. I'm getting a lot of rain noise right now, so there is a lot of that coming into the cabin. But again, it might be something that might not bother you. As far as steering feel goes, it's 100% on the looser side of things, so wouldn't have minded if Mitsubishi kind of firmed up the steering feel a little bit in the Mirage G4. But other than that, it kind of feels like an SUV. I'll just put it that way. Touching over your visibility, I actually can see perfectly fine out the back. So that's one thing that the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 definitely has going for it. Excellent visibility in this thing, no issues there. And one of the cool things about the Mirage G4 actually is rain-sensing windshield wipers come on the LE trim level end up. So yes, that is new for the LE trim level specifically. So that is pretty cool. We have the bottom trim level, so we don't have that one unfortunately. But essentially what that would do is when it starts raining out, like it is right now, the windshield wipers are gonna automatically turn on. So it's just one last thing you gotta worry about, kind of like automatic headlights. So that's pretty cool as well. But that pretty much runs up the performance segment of this review, you guys. Let's go ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage G4. All right, so here she is, you guys, the new 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 finished in graphite gray, which by the way is one of two new colors for the 2024 Mirage G4. That and Jet Black, those are the two new ones for this year. But let's go ahead and start with where the Mirage G4 is actually made, because this is actually interesting. Take a look at the van. First characters are ML, indicating that the Mirage G4 is actually built and assembled in Thailand completely. Like it's not JDM, it's not made in Japan, it's made in Thailand. I think this is the only car in the US that is made in Thailand. So it's very interesting. But anyway, so let's go ahead and start up front in this one. Silver front grille will come standard on all trim levels, but the block edition, because the block edition is gonna give you red accents on that front grille, of course. To the sides, halogen headlights do come standard for all trim levels, but the SE. SE gives you full LED headlights with LED daytime running lights as well. But new for the LE trim level and also coming standard on the block edition in SE, you do get the automatic feature. That LE trim did not get that for the 2023 Mirage G4. So I wanna emphasize that. And then fog lights will come standard on the block edition and the SE as well. But we've seen this look before, just like last year. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the side. All right, so now since we are around to the side of the Mirage G4, black windows surrounds do come standard. Black side mirrors, of course, for the block edition trim. Body colored side mirrors, however, for all other trim levels, of course, you will get integrated turn signals in their side mirrors for the SE trim level only. Otherwise, you're gonna get those turn signal indicators found on the front fenders, which I actually prefer. I love that for all trim levels, but that SE. It's kind of a JDM thing. Like you see the old Accurant Taggers and the old Honda Civics, they always put them on the front fenders. So I love that look personally, but take a look down at the wheel setup. 14 inch steel wheels with covers coming on our ES trim level that we have today. 15 inch alloys for the LE and SE and then 15 inch black alloys for the black edition. But that pretty much rounds out the side profile. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the back. All right, so now since we are around to the back here all the way to the top, you will find kind of a antenna up top there. There is a rear spoiler that actually does come standard for all trim levels across the board. So you gotta love that. Black rear spoiler though, of course coming with the black edition trim. LED taillights though, coming standard. You don't always find them in the compact statement. So for example, the Nissan Sentra still gets halogens as far as the rear taillights go. So I love seeing LEDs in the back, extra illumination at night. Of course you got that massive G4 badging found on the rear trunk. So that is certainly pretty cool to see. You will find, I'm gonna call it a mild rear diffuser at the very bottom there. So nothing crazy, but to the side, there on the passenger side, you will find a single exhaust outlet tucked away. So having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next here. As always, here is that exhaust clip. All right, so now since you are around to the back of the Mirage G4 here, when it comes to opening that rear trunk, it is going to be a manual trunk obviously. There is actually a key slot on the trunk itself. So that's the way I opened it up. But once opened up, cargo capacity comes in at 12.4 cubic feet. The rear seats do not fold down unfortunately, but there is a pastor, so I did want to emphasize that. So at least you got that there. There is a cargo light back there of course, and then if you were to lift up underneath of that cargo floor, you will find a spare tire, but there's a good bit of storage surrounding that spare tire, more than I'm used to seeing. So you can probably put an ice scraper back there if you wanted to as well. And so with them making our way to the rear legroom, that is going to come in at 37.3 inches for reference, I mean even six feet tall. This is how much space I had in that second row there. Rear center armrest with cup holders actually, to my surprise, come standard on every single trim level across the board. So got to love that. Of course there's no rear vents, no other compact cars actually get that either. So no worries there, but new charging ports there either. But then make our way up to the front seats, manually adjustable claw seats do come standard for all trim levels across the board. However, new for the LE trim level end up is going to be a driver's seat center armrest that didn't come standard on the 2023. And we don't have it with us here today unfortunately. But that is another new thing for 2024. Heated front seats coming with the SE trim level only as far as seat comfort goes, the word is bad as I thought they were going to be. I feel like they've been worse when I've tested them out before. Maybe it was just the hatch version, but these actually aren't that bad. I feel like they're padded pretty well. So my personal opinion, no issues there, but as far as the steering wheel goes, it is not telescoping, it is tilt. So it doesn't actually come towards you, just goes up and down. The leather wrapped coming with the BE and the SE trims, then you're going to get red stitching for that BE, AKA black edition trim level as well. But then make your way to the startup. Let me start by showing you guys the key. You got your Mitsubishi logo on the one side. When you flip it over, lock, unlock. It is a pretty basic key. It's going to be a push button start for the SE. Otherwise, you're going to get a turn key start. So all I'm going to do here is simply put my foot of the brake and turn the key. And so when it comes to the gauges, gauges, tecometers all the way to your left speedometer is front and center. Of course, there is a Trebe Trebe at the very bottom there, a fuel indicator as well. Just turn the lights on here and everything is kind of illuminated in this red orange hue. So I don't mind that. So I'll let you guys see that since it's a dark enough day to actually see that. But overall gauges are pretty much on the basic side of things there. But now let's go ahead and make our way to overall interior quality here. Automatic climate control will come standard on all trim levels across the board. That's really the highlight as far as interior quality goes, honestly. And that's pretty cool because not every competitor will get that. So I do like that. Just in front of the shifter, you got a little bit of storage there. There is a USB charging port there. Couple cup holders and behind the shifter, you do have one cup holder and again, the center armrest for the LE trim level and up. It is optional for the ES. We don't have that option, unfortunately. So when I was actually driving because of that, I didn't have any armrest for my right elbow and then my left elbow was sitting on hard plastic. So it's another thing with the interior quality you're sitting your elbows on hard plastic. There's no sort of padding or any kind of covering or anything like that. So wouldn't have minded if they actually put some padding there because if you're going on a long road trip, these elbow rests are definitely gonna be something that may or may not bother you. I'll just put it that way. But here's some of the positives though. Let's go ahead and take a look at the infotainment screen because I really, really liked it. First off, it is super bright. It is a seven inch color touchscreen display and it is super responsive. Probably the most responsive infotainment screen that I have seen in quite a while. You hit a button, it instantly goes there. There's no sort of lag or delay whatsoever. So the Mirage does that better than most other competitors, if not all of them. So do like that. Bluetooth and audio streaming coming standard Android, Auto, Apple, CarPlay as well. So it definitely also liked that. Of course, you can check out your radio information up there as well. So when it comes to the sound system, there is one of them. It is just four speakers that come standard on all trim levels across the board. Having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next here. Let's go ahead and turn on the radio, see what we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of this one. All right, for one, I had that basically all the way cranked up. It's not that loud of a sound system as of first thing. Of course, clarity is not going to be the best. By the way, that was FM radio. I'm sure if I had this thing hooked up to my phone via Bluetooth, it would have been a little more clear, but still having said that clarity wasn't the best, not a ton of bass whatsoever. So probably one of the most basic sound systems that are available today. But back to one of the pluses. When you do put the Mirage G4 in reverse, you will find a rear view camera and it's not just a basic rear view camera. It's pretty high definition, like more so than most Toyotas. I'll put it that way, although there's a lot of water on it right now, unfortunately, because it's raining out, but it is a very high definition rear view camera. Just take my word for it, which as always is going to lead us into safety. And so front side, side curtain airbags do come standard driver's knee airbag as well. In the back, you're going to have latch, AKA lower anchors and tethers to children for the rear car seats, rear child door locks, temperature monitoring system, but also coming standard, a forward collision mitigation system with pedestrian detection and hill start assistant as well. Then if you were to go with the SE, you're also going to get lane departure warning to go along with all of that. So overall, when it comes to my final thoughts, great gas mileage, you gotta love it. 41 miles per gallon on the highway, America's best warranty, plus a double power trim warranty at Younger Mitsubishi, if you wanted to get it here. So that's definitely plenty of value there. You'll also now get two years over 30,000 miles of complimentary maintenance. That's also going to save you some money and it's extremely affordable. Like this one that we're in today starts at under $18,000. You can't find that in today's inflation. I'm telling you guys, it's incredible for a brand new car. LED tail lights come standard in the back. So that's the safety feature in itself. As far as room for improvement goes, it is incredibly slow. I'm going to emphasize that real quick. You do get a very basic sound system as well. And quite honestly, there isn't a heck of a lot of advanced safety that comes standard when you look at some of its competitors at least. So there's that as well. But anyways, let me know what you guys think of the new Mirage G4 in the comments section below. And that is about it for this one, you guys. Thank you so much for watching.
