2023 Mitsubishi Space Star Instyle CVT (Garage entry)

[Dirk Diggler]

Looking good my fellow infrared Mirage owner! I wish I had your alloys and proximity key, you can keep the push button start though lol.

I'm confused though. The Mirage comes with either a 1.0L or a 1.2L engine. Are you saying there's an in between, new engine now?

Haha, thank you!

I can only find a Dutch article about this, from fall 2020. https://www.autoweek.nl/autonieuws/a...st-basismotor/

Dat betekent dat elke Mitsubishi Space Star vanaf nu de 1.2 driecilinder onder de kap heeft, die niet alleen met een handgeschakelde vijfbak, maar ook met een CVT-automaat te koop is. Daarbij haalt Mitsubishi een opvallende truc uit. Het vermogen van de voorheen 80 pk en 106 Nm sterke 1.2 wordt teruggeschroefd naar 71 pk en 102 Nm. Na de motorische aanpassingen voldoet de Space Star aan de actuele emissienormen.

Loosely translates to:

"This means that every Space Star will be a 1.2 liter three cylinder car from now on, available in manual and CVT variants. Mitsubishi performs an unusual trick: instead of the former 80 hp and 106 NM 1.2 motor, it now reduces it to 71 hp and 102 Nm. After this change, it confirms to current emission laws."

Ahhh I see, thank you. So Mitsubishi tweeked the engine to barely fit EU standards. Very smart. I'm sure the power difference between my car and yours is miniscule in reality.
