Under the supervision of the Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP), Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) held a fuel economy run on November 13, 2021, to document the fuel efficiency and practicality of the recently launched new Mirage G4 subcompact sedan.
The new Mirage G4 GLS 1.2G CVT clocked a total distance of 236.227 kilometers heading northbound to the SCTEX and TPLEX and tallied an impressive fuel mileage of 22.823 km per liter. In order to simulate real-life driving conditions, the following parameters were enacted:
- Vehicles started at full fuel capacity
- Tire pressure was set at 32psi
- The average speed was set at 80 kph while observing traffic regulations and limits
- 3 passengers on board with no extra baggage
- Air-conditioning was set to low-cool and the lowest blower setting
Powered by a 1.2-liter 3-cylinder MIVEC engine, the Mirage G4 produces 76hp and 100Nm of torque. It is available with either a 5-speed manual or transmission or an INVECS-III CVT. Its variable valve timing system significantly moderates engine load and friction and enables an Eco Drive Assist function that makes for fuel-efficient and smarter drives.
“The Mirage G4 is a global model developed on three concepts, high fuel efficiency, affordability, and easy-to-drive. All of which we uphold to our customers with and through our new local slogan Life Made Better,” said Hara Takeshi, MMPC president and CEO. “The positive results from the recently concluded Fuel Economy Run together with AAP supports Mitsubishi’s commitment to uplift the ownership experience of Filipinos. No better way to manifest this than through a vehicle that is easy on the pockets and allows them to follow their hearts and be ‘G4’ anything.”
The new Mirage G4 is available in three trim levels: the GLS CVT; the GLX CVT; and GLX MT, and is available in eight colors: Wine Red; Pyrenese Black; Savanna White; Virgil Gray; Majestic Red; Medium Blue Mica; Sunrise Orange; and Cool Silver Metallic.
