The refreshed 2016 Mitsubishi Mirage has been revealed with styling and specification improvements, and capped price servicing reductions.

THE 2016 MITSUBISHI MIRAGE has been revealed boasting styling tweaks to the exterior and interior, and improved on-road dynamics, claims Mitsubishi. The Japanese car maker’s micro car has received a new front grille, front and rear bumper, bonnet and wheel design.

Mitsubishi also said, “Mirage’s on-road performance benefits from more intuitive steering response, better balanced handling [spring and damper tune] and increased ride comfort, thanks to an extensive rework of suspension tune and electric power steering calibration”.

Capped price servicing has copped a price cut of $270 across the four-year servicing period. The 2016 Mirage Capped Price Service schedule:
