The Mitsubishi Mirage: The Small-But-Mighty Compact Hatchback
Finding the right car for New Jersey driving isn’t just about price — it’s about efficiency, practicality, and handling tight spaces like a pro (including those parking spaces the size of a yoga mat). That’s why the Mitsubishi Mirage earned a spot in Nielsen Editorial’s latest feature on the Best-Selling Compact Cars in NJ. This fuel-efficient hatchback is perfect for city streets, packed parking lots, and long commutes — all without stretching your budget thinner than a slice of boardwalk pizza.
With an EPA-estimated 36 MPG city and 43 MPG highway, the Mirage is built for NJ drivers who spend more time stuck in traffic than they’d like to admit. Whether you’re commuting on Route 46, weaving through Morristown, or making weekend trips down the Parkway, this car slow burns your gasoline, which means you have more money to pay for tolls (and those late-night diner stops).
And while the Mirage is one of the smallest cars on the road, Mitsubishi makes every inch count. The hatchback design means easy parking in tight spaces, whether it’s a Hoboken street spot, a Shore boardwalk lot in peak summer, or the last available space at a packed Wawa. Inside, the surprisingly roomy cabin and versatile cargo space give you enough room for groceries, weekend bags, and that “just one more thing” Target run that somehow turned into a full cart.
Safety and tech? Mitsubishi didn’t forget those. The Mirage comes standard with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, so you can blast Springsteen while dodging drivers who still don’t know how to navigate a jughandle. Plus, with a rearview camera and available forward-collision mitigation, the Mirage keeps you safe on NJ’s unpredictable roads.
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, fuel-efficient car that handles the daily grind with ease, find a new Mitsubishi Mirage in NJ at our Mitsubishi dealership in New Jersey— because the only thing better than great gas mileage is actually finding a parking spot without breaking a sweat.
