1993-1996 Mitsubishi Mirage: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

Noticeably larger in most dimensions than earlier Mirages, the new model for 1993 weighed 120 pounds less. A 4-door notchback sedan went on sale again, but a new 2-door notchback coupe replaced the prior hatchback. Both the coupe and the sedan came in three trim levels: base S, midrange ES, and top-line LS. Coupes and the 4-door S used a single-cam 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, rated at 92 horsepower. ES and LS 4-doors got a new 1.8-liter 4-cylinder, making 113 horsepower. A 5-speed manual transmission was standard, with 4-speed automatic optional for ES and LS 4-doors. Other models (except for the S coupe, which was stick-shift only) could get a 3-speed automatic transmission as an option. Antilock braking was available on the LS 4-door only. No airbag was installed. Eagle dealers sold a similar car as the Summit. Dodge and Plymouth dealers called their version the Colt.
