Compact Mitsubishi Mirage is a famous budget model of the Japanese company. Despite its age, the car proved popular in 2024 and caused a real stir in the market.

The details have become known to Carscoops. Sales of Mitsubishi Mirage in the United States in 2024 increased by 114%, that is, more than doubled. Since the beginning of the year, the company has sold 20,024 copies of the budget model.

At the same time, the total sales of the brand amounted to 82,817 cars. Only the Mitsubishi Outlander crossover with 35,629 copies turned out to be a more popular model. This is interesting, because sales of the Mirage, which debuted in 2011, have been declining recently.

This model was decided to be abandoned and replaced by another car. In any case, such information was reported earlier. In Japan, sales have already been curtailed, in the United States will do the same by 2025.

A new crossover Mitsubishi Xforce can replace for the American market. It was presented recently. Although for 2025, this information in the North American division of the company did not specify. In Europe, the place of Space Star (local variant of Mirage) will be taken by the base variant of Mitsubishi Colt, which is now a copy of Renault Clio.
