 What is up you guys, welcome back to another one. If you're new to the channel, I am Gold Penning. I do new Clark Truck SUV reviews on YouTube. And today we are in the brand new 2022 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 courtesy of Younger Mitsubishi and Hagerstown, Maryland for more information on their inventory. Please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. And so I'm in this one today because this may very well be the most inexpensive vehicle available at this current time. Not only that, if you do go to Younger Mitsubishi or to purchase any Mitsubishi there, you're actually gonna get double a powertrain warranty, which means you get 20 years, 200,000 miles on the powertrain, so wherever you're from, it might be worth your drive. I'm just saying, but anyways, in this video we will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering full, ride quality, sound system, exhaust clip, all that fun stuff. So having said all of that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing. And so as you can imagine, there are a few different trim levels for the 2022 Mirage G4. First one being the ES5 Speed Manual, starting at $15,645 for the brand new car. That's crazy. Then you have the ESCBT, which actually is the one we have today, starting at $16,995. Then there is the LE, starting at $17,595 Black Edition, which is a new trim level for the 2022 model year, starting at $18,195. And lastly, the SE starting at $18,695. But regardless of trim level that you go with the power plant on the Mirage G4 is going to be the same. Powering the Little Beast is a 1.2 liter naturally aspirated inline three cylinder engine, putting out 76 horsepower at 6,000 RPM, 74 pound feet of torque coming in at 4,000 RPM. Power sent to the front wheels again through either a five speed manual or a CVT. Zero to 60 time is going to come in at approximately 12.8 seconds with MPG numbers coming in at 33 in the city, 40 on the highway for the manual transmission, 35 city, 41 then on the highway for the CVT taking regular unledded fuel. But then I haven't got all of that out of the way as we're coming up to a red light here. What do you guys say? Let's go ahead and put the Mirage G4 here to the test. Again, not the quickest thing in the world on paper here but let's go ahead and test out the acceleration. Let's see how quickly we can get our new 2022 Mirage G4 here up to speed. We're going 50, we're at 60, hey. Okay, quite possibly the slowest car I've ever tested but you know what, this car is not necessarily for racing. Go figure, I bet you guys didn't know that. If you're buying this car, you're buying this car to save money first off because maybe you want to spend money on other things. You're also buying it for very efficient fuel economy of course and maybe you live in a city where you don't necessarily need to merge onto highways or you need to get up to 60 miles per hour quickly. So this car serves a certain purpose but it is definitely not speed, I'll give you that. But anyway, to go along with that acceleration as always, braking is equally important and actually coming standard for the Mirage G4 is going to be front disc rear drum brakes. And so as far as the braking feel goes, it's been okay. Definitely not too bad. Honestly for the size of this vehicle, you probably don't need four wheel disc brakes and I know even the Nissan Sentra doesn't come standard with four wheel disc brakes. That actually gets front disc rear drums coming standard as well, which is kind of interesting. So not all vehicles have it because it does depend on the weight of the vehicle. With this small thing, you probably don't need it. So braking feel has been perfectly fine. As far as suspension and handling goes, up front you're gonna get an independent McPherson strut front suspension. In the back, torsion beam rear axles. As far as ride quality goes, it's actually, I don't know, it's not too bad. I don't mind it so far. I mean, you are gonna feel a good bit more of the road with a smaller vehicle like this comparatively speaking to some other ones, but it's not bad. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. I'll just put it that way. As far as cabin noise goes, that's where you can definitely notice it. There's a good bit of exterior wind noise coming into the cabin. Not only that, the engine noise gets really loud when you really hit the gas. And even when you first turn it on, you notice it immediately. Like all that engine noise comes right into the cabin, which if you're a car person, if you're a car guy or a girl, that's not gonna be a bad thing. I personally don't mind it, but it's a decent amount. I'm just saying. As far as steering feel goes, it's pretty much as expected. It's not a heavy steering feel, but it's not really a loose steering feel either. It's pretty much as you would expect the Mirage G4 to be. Touching on visibility, actually, I can see perfectly fine out the back, so definitely not gonna have any issues there either. But that pretty much rounds out the performance segment of this review, you guys. Let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2022 Mitsubishi Mirage G4. All right, so here she is, you guys. The new 2022 Mitsubishi Mirage G4, finished in sapphire, blue metallic, real quick. I'm just gonna swing over to the window stick real quick, because I want you guys to see something. All right, so first off, yes, this is a 2022. I know some people like to think that I'm reviewing cars of previous years, but I should start showing that from now on. But anyways, look at where this vehicle is made. It is essentially TDM. I'm gonna make that up. It is Thailand domestic market, almost 100% in Thailand. Usually you would think Mitsubishi, typically they're made in Japan, but the Mirage G4, I guess, is going to be made in Thailand. So that's a fun little fact for you guys in case you were curious. All right, so anyways, let's go ahead and start up front on the Mirage G4 here. Silver accents on the front grille, and of course, cross the front bumper then as well. To the sides, halogen headlights do come standard on all trim levels, but the SE trim level, that is the only trim level that does not get halogens. Because of course, the SE trim is going to give you LED low and high beam headlights. So you get full LED headlights on a Mirage. It's pretty stinking cold. And of course, when it comes to the automatic feature, the black edition and the SE trims are gonna give you that automatic feature, meaning when it starts to get dark in at night, the headlights are going to turn on automatically for you there. LED daytime running lights are going to come with the SE trim level only in case you were curious. And if you wanted fog lights down below there, you guys can see kind of the cutouts form on this one. But if you wanted fog lights, go with the black edition or the SE trim. But anyways, it pretty much rounds out the front end of this one. So now go ahead and make our way to the side in the Mirage. All right, so now since we are around to the side of the Mirage G4, black windows surrounds do come standard. Black side mirrors coming with the black edition trim level only, and there will be gloss black side mirrors. Body color side mirrors, however, coming with all other trim levels as you guys are currently looking at. If you wanted LED integrated turd signals in the side mirrors, go with the SE. But otherwise, you kind of have that JDM look with the side turd signal indicators being on the front fenders, which I personally like. But anyways, then take a look down to the wheel configuration, 14-inch steel wheels with covers for the ES. That's of course what you guys are currently looking at. 15-inch alloys for the LE and SE trims, and then 15-inch black alloys, of course, for the black edition. But that pretty much rounds out the side. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the back. All right, so now this is probably my favorite look on the Mirage, quite honestly, especially the G4. So when it comes to that rear spoiler, there is a body color rear spoiler on all trim levels, but the black edition, because of course with the black edition, you're gonna get a black rear spoiler, as expected. You do have the G4 badging there on the left, as you guys can see, but LED tail lights surprise coming standard on every single trim level across the board. And I like the tail light design. I think it looks pretty darn good on this car, if I'm being honest, but you also get an LED high-mount stop lamp. You guys can see that just above the rear spoiler, kind of on the lower portion of the rear glass as well. So a lot of LEDs in the back, which is important because you want somebody to be able to see you who is behind you, so they don't end up hitting you, of course. So I absolutely love that. Just below, you kind of have an integrated rear diffuser. You guys can see that a little bit, but there is a single exhaust outlet tucked away to the right side there. So having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next. As always, here is that exhaust clip. All right, so, but now since we are around back of the Mirage T4, when it comes to opening that rear trunk, there's actually two different ways to go ahead and do that. There is, of course, a place where you can put the key in. That is one way to go ahead and open it up back there. The other way is found on the driver's side floor. There's a little lever that you simply just lift up on. But once up and up, cargo capacity comes in at 12.4 cubic feet. There is some cargo lighting back there as well. There is also a center fold down area, a pass through area. You can put maybe like skis in or something like that. So doing a mention that, there is no 60-40 split or anything, unfortunately, but you do have a little pass through area. So that's kind of nice. And if you lift up underneath the cargo floor, you will find a spare tire then as well. But instead of making our way to the rear leg room, that is actually going to come in today, kind of impressive for the size of this vehicle, 37.3 inches. So for reference, I mean even six feet tall. This is how much space I had in those rear seats there. Also rear center armrest with cup holders coming standard for all trim levels as well. Didn't expect to see that on this particular price point. So you usually don't get that at this price point. So I like that as well. Don't need rear ventilation in the back. This is small enough vehicle. You're not going to have any issues there. And there's a single cup holder within the driver and passenger seat that the rear passengers do have access to as well. So that's pretty nice. But then making our way to the front seats, manually adjustable claw seats do come standard for all trim levels. There is a driver seat armrest for the SE trim level. You actually get heated front seats for the SE trim level as well. Overall, as far as seat comfort goes, it's not the best. Honestly, because of the lack of adjustments, and again, this comes back to the price point, but because it's not as adjustable as some other vehicles, it's maybe not the very best when it comes to seat comfort, but you should be able to get by. To take a look at the steering wheel, it is not telescoping, but it is tilt. So it goes up and down. It is leather-wrapped for the black edition and SE trim levels, and then you get red stitching with the black edition then as well, which is pretty cool. But then making our way to the startup, let me first start by showing you guys the key here. You do have your Mitsubishi logo on the one side then. When you flip it over, lock and unlock, but if you wanted to push button start, go with the SE trim level. That's the only trim you're gonna get that on, but otherwise, simply just put your front of the brake and turn the key and so, but then once started off, speedometer is front and center, tachometer is all the way to your left. And there are some indicator lights to your right, but there's no digital portion to the gauges or anything like that. It's pretty simple there. Then making our way to overall interior quality, automatic climate control does come standard for all trim levels across the board. Kind of surprised to see that, meaning you just set a temperature and it's gonna automatically reach that temperature for you. So, definitely a big fan of that at this price point especially. Just in front of the shifter, you have dual cup holders. Just in front of that, you actually have a USB charging port and then a little slot to put your phone as well, which is pretty nice. There is no center armrest storage or anything like that, but there is a decent amount of storage within the glove box. Then it looks like a massive owner's manual and there actually is a 12-volt power outlet in front of the shifter then as well. But overall, it's pretty basic, pretty to the point. It's practical, so not a whole lot of fanciness going on as far as interior quality goes. Then taking a look at the tech, this is pretty good actually. There is a seven-inch color touchscreen display that comes standard for all trim levels across the board. So I love that. Bluetooth and audio streaming does come standard, but you also get Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. So for a car that starts at under $16,000, you got free navigation. All you gotta do is hook your smartphone up to the USB port and then you got navigation up on that screen. So I absolutely love that. That's pretty darn cool. And actually it is pretty high quality, I gotta be honest. It's not that bad. Pretty bright and it's pretty darn quick as well. There's no lag to it, which again, really surprised me. So well done, Miss Abishi there. As far as the sound systems go, you're actually gonna get four speakers coming standard across the board. Again, not that large of a vehicle, so you shouldn't need all that much more than that. But having said that, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and turn on the radio and see what we got playing today. And let's test out the sound system of this four speaker sound system that we have here. Just don't force me to tell me. All right, that was me having the sound system cranked all the way up. That is definitely not a loud sound system if I'm being honest. Not the most clarity, and matter of fact, if I'm being honest, that may be the worst sound system that I've ever tested. Anyways, if you're not into music, who really cares? This will get you from point A to point B, but last thing I wanted to mention to you on the infotainment screen is when you do put the Mirage G4 in reverse, you will find a rear view camera coming standard across the board, letting you know who or what is behind you, which is always is going to lead us into safety. So to start front side, side curtain airbags do come standard, but also a driver's knee airbag up front as well. In the back, you're going to have latch, AKA lower anchors to the tethers for children for the rear car seats, rear child door locks, tire pressure monitoring system, but also coming standard across the board will include a forward collision mitigation system with pedestrian detection and hill start assist then as well. But then if you were to go with the SE trim, you're also going to get lane departure warning then added to that as well. So overall, when it comes to my final thoughts here, great gas mileage, obviously 40 miles per gallon is pretty darn great. You get America's best warranty, but not only that, if you go to Younger, Mitsubishi, and Hagerstown, Maryland, you get double that powertrain warranty as well, which is pretty cool. LED taillights coming standard still is amazing at this price point. So I absolutely love that. It not only helps with the design, it looks good, but also helps with visibility. It's a safety feature in itself. Excellent price point, as I've been saying, as far as room for improvement goes, this thing is extremely slow. The sound system isn't all that great and not a whole lot of advanced safety coming standard either. But let me know what you guys think of the Mirage G4 in the comment section below.
