That's sort of old news already. The 2020 have been on some dealer lots long before it appeared on Mitsubishi's website.
Auto climate control is now standard. That changed the ES MANUAL, ES CVT, and LE. At this point, the 2020 RF isn't listed.
By the way, I see no reason to pay extra for a 2020 SE or GT if a better deal can be had with a leftover 2019. These two trim levels haven't changed since 2017. Adding standard features just helps justify a price increase for the base models.
I believe the MSRP of the SE & GT hasn't changed this year, which is good! It's the exact same car since 2017 with a different year stamped on it.
The LE & SE have a $200 difference in price now. Thus, you have to decide what you value more -
LE gives you 15" alloy wheels, heated seats, & some minor trim accents.
For $200 more the SE has 14" alloy wheels, no heated seats, but gives you FAST-Key entry and push button start.

The 2021 will have the new look I'm thinking
The refresh will be on the lots by mid year of 2020
Yea, or maybe even an even longer wait for the refreshed Mirage/G4 to hit our shores. I think Canada is like 2 years behind releasing the last refresh, compared to the global market.
Maybe we won't be getting the new Mirage then after all?
Who knows what 2021 will bring, or even mid-2020 like someone just said.

I think we'll get the refreshed Mirage in North America eventually. It's not like they are changing the car itself that much, & I see no reason for them to keep building two versions of the same car for different parts of the world.
Mitsubishi is probably just using up their leftovers parts bin to make cars for us in the meantime.
I am not convinced a front grill change is going to drastically change Mirage sales all that much anyways. Yet, its sales keep growing here. The disappearance of affordable new vehicles on the market doesn't hurt sales either.
Ya cheap to buy and cheap to run, and no gizmos and unnecessary options/gadgets. All new Mirages are overloaded boats compared to my 2014 Mirage ES. No disrespect but mine is more econo hatchback right down to roll down windows in the back and power windows in the front, and no A/C.
Maximum efficiency, maximum thriftiness, bare bones transportation. I think the Mirage is advanced with the handling/traction control even compared to other brands. Could be me.

I only shop/buy/own manuals. In 2017, I still had the option of buying the ES or SE with a manual transmission. Three years later, the ES has gained the following standard features - backup camera (2018 mandatory law item), Bluetooth (2018), six-way adjustable driver's seat (2019), cruise (2019), & auto climate controls (2020).
The SE hasn't gained anything since 2017, & the manual option was dropped in 2018.
As far as I am concerned, a base level Mirage doesn't exist here. Adding features to a car like this (making it more expensive to purchase) is not appealing to me. If they are willing to have 4 or 5 trim levels, it would be nice to see a more basic/affordable one.

I see why you say that about the handling, but I think my Mirage is pretty good when it needs to be, to get out of situations. I haven't driven a Nissan Micra before, nor have I driven every small car. I have driven older Sentra's and Escorts and my driving instruction car was a 1999 Toyota Corolla. Bland.
My Mirage is as boring with steering, but so have been the 2 rentals from Mitsubishi I have had in the past year: an RVR and a Lancer Sportback. Felt the same as the Mirage.
The Mirage has bland and vague handling, but I know some people say it feels unstable going faster speeds. I don't really think so, but my standards for cars was never that high haha. My Mirage is luxury to me
