Mitsubishi will stop selling the budget model Mitsubishi Mirage and its twin Mitsubishi Space Star in Europe. These are the cheapest cars of the Japanese company on the global market.

In early 2025, these models will not be available to buyers. Earlier, the suspension of production was announced for the Mitsubishi Mirage sedan and Mirage G4 hatchback sold in the United States. According to Motor1, European sales of a similar Space Star model will also be stopped.

This car has not been offered in the Japanese market for two years. Interestingly, despite its age, the budget car proved popular in 2024 and caused a real stir.

Sales of the Mitsubishi Mirage in the United States in 2024 grew by 85%, almost doubling. Since the beginning of the year, the company has sold more than 10,000 copies of the budget model. This is really interesting, as sales of the Mirage, which debuted in 2011, have been declining recently.

The new Mitsubishi Xforce crossover may replace it for the US market. It was presented recently. Although the North American division of the company did not specify this information for 2025. In Europe, the Space Star will be replaced by the basic version of the Mitsubishi Colt, which is a copy of the Renault Clio.
