Mirage 1.5 (CJ1A)

CJ · 1997–2000FWD

This Mirage 1.5 (CJ1A) covers the later years, 1997-2000, of the fifth-generation hatchback. The mechanicals remain the 1.5-litre 4G15 SOHC 12-valve four-cylinder with front-wheel drive, so it differs from the 1995-1997 car mainly by build period, as the CJ range moved toward the end of its life.

STORY

The first Mirage arrived in 1978 as Mitsubishi's first front-wheel-drive car, and the second generation followed in 1983. The name returned in 2012 on a small three-cylinder hatchback built in Thailand with a 1.2-litre engine, which made 78 hp in the United States in its last years, according to The Drive. In August 2024 Mitsubishi said the Mirage was being discontinued there with no 2025 model, and that production would end late in 2024.
