    2021 Mirage are here!

    Some dealerships are starting to list 2021 Mirages on cars.com. Some have them on their websites now.

    That's an ES CVT with tonneau cover and floor mats. All this can be yours for $16,865.


    I'm a little surprised they didn't try to integrate the rear camera in somewhere so it doesn't look like an after-thought.

    Front end looks completely different now from my dinosaur 2014 grill, the side looks exact same. The rear bumper looks completely different.

    Looks like a 2007 vw Rabbit with some splash of gti trim. I heard they have retro cloth seats not sure if that panned out on US models. Can't wait to see the first one in real life.

    Haven't heard any updates in Canada.
    Somehow I would like to trade in my 2019 one to get 2021 with FCM and LED Headlight....
    Already done tons of upgrade on the current one....

    Apparently, a new front grill/bumper was considered enough of an upgrade this time around.

    If someone doesn't like the current Mirage, the new one probably won't change their mind.

    I like the Mirage. I could live with any of the three fronts. The new one just looks like the rest of their line up.

    Yep, they just brought it more in line with the rest of their lineup, doesn't look like much else has changed. Still a good car though.

    Last time I looked sand yellow replaced the orange. I like the orange better! Other colors look like former ones.

    I had a bright yellow car once (pop yellow). It faded really bad.

    I'll be waiting to see when White Bear gets their first batch of 2021 models in to see how they price them. I hit a few websites and haven't found a 5-speed 2021 yet. If they exist, I assume White Bear will have ordered a bunch of them.

    I think Mitsubishi reuses paints from the old Mitsubishi parts bin, so orange is like the copper in the Outlander, and the guy who bought an EVO the same day I got my Mirage finally delivered for me, exact same paint colour as the EVO with my Mirage, but on the evo they call it a different name.

    According to their website, a 2021 ES manual should exist.

    I would like to meet the individuals who decide trim levels.

    The difference between an ES & LE is 14" steel wheels vs. 14" alloy wheels.
    Notice I used "is" not "are"! That's it!
    I don't see anything else on the specs that's different.
    The LE no longer has 15" wheels or heated seats.
    If anything else is different, they aren't listing it.

    Who devotes an entire trim level for one extra feature (alloy wheels)? Seriously?

    I went through every feature & the two trim levels are exactly the same except for rims. The Carbonite Edition is also exactly the same as the LE with the exception of a few external cosmetic features added.

    If you're a car critic, does this update warranty a test drive?

    How could anyone go on & on about how this updated model is so much better than the previous model?

    It's the same car with a different front bumper & grill.

    The 2021 Mirage ES, LE, & Carbonite Edition have the same basic features! From the inside could anyone tell the difference between driving on 14" steel wheels vs. 14" alloy wheels? I doubt it. If wheels are important to you, you can get 4 alloy wheels without spending that much money.

    We now have 3 very similar level trims & the SE in 2021. For those who like features, a manual SE should be offered, because some of you that have an older manual would feel like you have to downgrade in some features to get a new manual today. The 2021 SE is the loaded Mirage now!

    A 5-speed base model that was cheaper would excite me! If I had to replace my Mirage today, it would be a 2019 ES manual with cruise & manual climate controls. I wouldn't even look at the new ones, unless they were way cheaper than the used 2019 Mirages.
