 So if you guys, welcome back to another one. If you are new to the channel, I am GoPony, I do new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube. And today we are in the new 2022 Mitsubishi Mirage 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. So we are in this one today because this actually has a starting price at under $15,000, which is unheard of these days. And so I recently reviewed this today. I wanted to check out the hatchback now because this one is a little bit less expensive actually. There's several changes for the 2022 model year as well. Not only that, you get America's best warranty being five years, 60,000 mile bumper to bumper, 10 years, 100,000 miles on the powertrain. But not only that, if you were to drive out to Younger Mitsubishi in Hagerstown, you actually get a double powertrain warranty meaning 20 years, 200,000 miles. That is absolutely insane. But ultimately in this video, we will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering wheel 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. So as you can imagine, there are several different trim levels for the 2022 Mirage. First one being the ES5 speed manual starting at $14,645 ESCVT, which actually is the one we have today starting at $15,995 LE for $16,595 black edition, which is a new trim level for the 2022 model year starting at $17,195. And lastly, the SE starting at $17,895. But regardless of trim level that you go with, the power plant on the Mirage 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 set to the front wheels through either a five-speed manual or a CVT. Zero to 60 time is going to come in at approximately 12 seconds, but we won't be testing that out here in a little bit. MPG numbers though coming in at 33 in the city, 41 on the highway from the manual, 36 in the city, 43 then on the highway for the CVT, taking regular unlit fuel. But now having got all of that out of the way, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and find us right away. Let's put that acceleration here to the test and let's see how quickly we can get our new 2022 Mitsubishi Mirage here up to speed. All right, here we go. And we're at 40, 50. Five stay alive. We probably would have gotten to 60 eventually there, but yeah, it's not the quickest thing in the world, but I don't know. It's kind of as expected for the price range, for the miles per gallon that you get are also incredible, but yeah, it's definitely not the quickest thing in the world, I'll say that. But anyways, to go along with that acceleration as always, braking is equally important. So you will find front disc rear drum brakes coming standard for all-term levels across the board, nine-inch ventilated front disc to be specific, seven-inch rear drum brakes then. 60 is your stopping distance comes in at 127 feet and still it's not the best. I gotta say even for a small car, it's not the best. Having said that, braking feel is definitely on the softer side, so wouldn't have minded if they firmed up the brakes a little bit. It's not bad, it's just definitely on the softer side is all, but then 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, we do tend to feel a little bit more of the road, really in any subcompact car, including the Mirage, so that's definitely to be expected. Having said that, it's not too bad in my short test drive here today so far, but then again, Hagerstown roads are usually pretty darn good, so definitely having the issues so far. As far as steering feel goes, it's pretty much as expected, it's normal, it's not on the heavy side, it's definitely not on the loose side either, it's pretty much par for the course, what I would expect the Mirage to handle like. As far as cabin noise goes, you do get a decent amount of wind noise when you definitely get a good bit of engine noise when you really lay on the gas here, so good bit of noise coming into the cabin without a doubt. Having said that, if you're a car guy or girl, it's probably not gonna bother you because you like that engine noise. That tells you about visibility, I can see perfectly fine out the back, you're 100% not gonna have any issues there either, but that about wraps up 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, Missabishi Mirage. All right, so here she is you guys, the new 2022 Missabishi Mirage, finished in white diamond. In case anybody was curious of our exterior color name, let's go ahead and get started with what's new regarding the exterior of the 2022 Mirage. Revised front and rear facials to start with, also the headlights and taillights have been updated slightly as well. Not a huge change, but just a slight little change there. Black Edition also is going to obviously add black accents along with some red horizontal accents on the front grille as opposed to the chrome ones that we currently have here today. Essentially all other trims are going to get those chrome accents on the front grille. Halogen headlights are going to come standard on all trims, but the SE, because the SE is actually going to give you full LED headlights, meaning both low beam and high beam. That is a luxury feature, you guys, but it is on the Mirage SE, so that's pretty cool. As far as the automatic feature goes, that can be had on two trim levels, being the black edition and the SE trims. Then looking down, you will see some cutouts for the fog lights on our ES, but if you actually did want to add fog lights, they're going to come standard on the black edition and SE trims as well. But pretty much rounds out the front end. I do like the slight revision. I think it still looks good, just like I said in last year's review, so definitely a good looking front end, but let's now go ahead and make our way to the side of the Mirage. So now since we are around to the side of this one, black windows surrounds do come standard body colored door handles for all trim levels. I like to mention that because sometimes on less expensive cars, you will get matte black door handles, so I do like that they're body colored. When it comes to the side mirrors, they are body colored folding side mirrors for all trim levels and they actually will get integrated turn signals for the SE trim level only, although you don't really need them quite honestly. I like the look. They actually put the turn signal indicators on the front fenders. It's a JDM look. JDM cars have done that for such a long time now. I prefer that quite honestly. I think that's a pretty cool look. But anyways, when it comes to the wheel configurations, 14 inch steel wheels with covers for the ES. That's of course what you guys are looking at right now. 14 inch alloys for the LE. 15 inch black alloys for the black edition. And then 15 inch silver alloys for the SE trim level. But pretty much rounds out the side profile here. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the back of the Mirage. All right, so now since we are around to the back of this one, this is the best look on this one of my personal opinion. You do have a black antenna all the way to the top there on the roof. Just below that body colored rear spoiler with an integrated brake light definitely looks very good on the Mirage. Just below that rear window wiper, but my very favorite part of this one, LED tail lights coming standard for every single trim level across the board. That is huge, especially in smaller vehicles. You want people to be able to see you from behind because you don't want to get rear ended, of course. So LED tail lights are amazing and they look dang good on the back of the Mirage in my personal opinion. Going down to the very bottom there, you will find a body color rear diffuser. That looks pretty darn good back there as well. There is a single exhaust outlet tucked away towards the bottom there. But as always, here is that exhaust clip. All right, so now since we are around to the back of the Mirage, when it comes to opening the rear hatch, it is a manual lift gate. So simply just left up on the handle, on the hatch itself. But once opened up, cargo capacity comes in at 17.1 cubic feet. If that was not enough space, there's a receipt to actually do fold down. So there's then a good bit of added extra cargo space there if you needed it. There is a cargo light obviously in that area. If you lift up underneath of the cargo floor, you will find a spare tire, which is always nice as well. And there's actually a cargo cover that comes standard on the hatchback at least as well. So that's pretty nice. Then make our way up to the rear legroom. That is going to come in at 34.2 inches. So for reference, I'm an even six feet tall. This is how much space I had in that second row there. Then there is no center armrest. There's no charging ports or ventilation or anything like that. Going honestly in the size of the vehicle, you probably don't need any of that anyways. Then make our way to the front seats. Manually adjustable claw seating does come standard for all trim levels across the board. However, I will say the SE trim level is not only going to give you a cloth leatherette finish, but it's also going to give you heated front seats then as well. So overall when it comes to seat comfort, it's okay. Not the most comfortable seats obviously because there's no real power lumbar support or anything like that. They're enough to get by basically. But then take a look at the steering wheel. It is tilt. It is not telescoping. It is wrapped in urethane for all trim levels but the SE because the SE is actually going to give you a leather wrap steering wheel which is pretty nice. Then make our way to the startup. Let me first start by showing you guys the key here. Do if you're a Mitsubishi logo on the one side. Then when you flip it over lock and unlock. So a pretty basic key there. But we'll say with the SE trim level, it is a push button start actually. But we don't have that today unfortunately. So all I'm going to do here is simply put them up in the break and turn the key. But so then when it comes to the gauge cluster tachometers all the way to your left speedometer is front and center. And there is a very small portion of digital gauges that gives you just your basics. Like how much gas you have left, trip A, trip B, things like that. But all of your indicator lights are going to then be on the right side of everything there. Then make our way to overall interior quality. There is a front passenger vanity mirror which is newly standard for the 2022 model year. That wasn't there last year. So wanted to mention that. That's basically the new feature when it comes to the inside of the Mirage. Didn't want to say that when it comes to the SE trim that's going to add a good bit when it comes to interior quality including a leather wrap shift knob, some carbon pattern window switch panels, gloss black shift panel then as well. However, all trims are going to get automatic climate control meaning you just set a temperature and the Mirage is automatically going to take you to that temperature. So that's pretty cool. Just in front of the shifter you have a USB charging port, a little slot where you can put your cell phone. There are dual cup holders behind all of that. And then you have a manual emergency break just behind the shifter then as well. But overall interior quality is pretty basic, pretty to the point. So nothing crazy when it comes to that. Then make your awaited infotainment screen, seven inch color touchscreen display is going to come standard on all trim levels across the board. Bluetooth and audio streaming also coming standard but Android Auto Apple CarPlay also coming standard meaning if you have a smartphone simply hook it up via USB cable to the Mirage and you have free navigation displayed up on the infotainment screen. And the reason I'm emphasizing this so much is because this is a very inexpensive car and at this price range you actually still don't always get that. So that is pretty darn cold. But anyways, you can check out your radio information up there as well. By the way, when it comes to the sound system there is one of them and that is four speakers for every trim level across the board. So having said that, what do you guys say? 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. Oh, you fall on the phone, let the dog get you some. I know it's four speakers you guys. It's definitely not the most exciting sound system out there. It should get the job done for the size of this vehicle but definitely not my favorite sound system I've ever tested. But last thing I wanted to mention to you guys on the infotainment screen is when you do put the Mirage in reverse you won't find a rear view camera taking up the entire screen which you don't always get letting you know who or what is behind you which is always is going to lead us into safety. So front side side curtain airbags do come standard drivers knee airbag up front as well. In the back you're gonna have latch AKA lower anchors and tethers and children for the rear car seats, rear tire door locks tire pressure monitoring system but also coming standard will include a forward collision mitigation system with pedestrian detection then hill start assist as well. Then if you were to go with the SE trim you were also going to get lean departure warning done as well. Overall, when it comes to my final thoughts here of the Mirage, this is an excellent price quite possibly the most inexpensive vehicle available at least here in the US. As of right now, you get America's best warranty not only that if you get a younger Mitsubishi here in Hagerstown you get double powertrain warranty which you can use anywhere in the US by the way you could drive all the way from New York and still get that double powertrain warranty which is gonna be honored wherever you're at. Android Auto Apple CarPlay coming standard is wonderful as well. As far as room for improvement goes of course it's extremely slow. Seats are definitely not the most comfortable seats in the world and the sound system is pretty poor quite honestly.
