Mirage: After some minor updates for the 2015 model year, the Mirage will be re-engineered for the 2016 model year with new sheet metal from the small car's A-pillar forward and some minor design tweaks to its rear. The update will include the brand's new grille and fascia, plus a new hood design, headlights and other updates. Production for the 2016 Mirage is slated to begin in late 2015, and the first vehicles could arrive stateside before the end of the year or slip into early 2016.
Mirage sedan: The sedan variant of the Mirage should arrive in the first half of 2016 for the 2017 model year, though timing has not been set in stone. That's roughly a year later than initially planned.
Some Mitsubishi dealers have test driven the car to provide feedback to Mitsubishi executives.
An optional 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine to power higher-trim versions is under study, according to a source.
