2023 Mitsubishi Mirage Safety and Reliability

The new Mitsubishi Mirage scored mixed safety reviews from both the NHTSA and the IIHS - the NHTSA's reviews of the 2023 Mirage resulted in an overall four-star overall rating. In the IIHS's reviews, the 2023 Mirage scored top results of Good in four out of five specified crash tests, with a score of Marginal for the driver-side small overlap front. Overall, Mirage safety reviews have been good rather than great.

The standard consignment of safety and advanced driver-assist features are nearly identical for every Mirage model - there are the basic essentials such as ABS, EBD, ASC, and tire-pressure monitoring, as well as seven standard airbags, including a driver's side knee airbag. Hill-start assist, a rearview camera, and cruise control are all also standard in every model. Every Mirage also comes equipped with forward-collision warning which includes pedestrian detection and automatic braking. Rain-sensing wipers and automatic halogen headlights are added to the BE, while lane-departure warning and automatic LED headlights with auto high beams are fitted to the SE variant.

The last recall sent out for a Mitsubishi Mirage pertained to the 2018 model year and there have been no recalls ever since - an impressive showing. Reviews on the Mitsubishi Mirage from J.D. Power resulted in an 82 out of 100 reliability rating for the 2020 iteration, but considering the extensive warranty and limited number of recalls, the Mirage is generally regarded as quite reliable. Mitsubishi covers the Mirage with a typical five-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and an industry-leading ten-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. An anti-corrosion warranty runs for seven years or 100,000 miles.
