Mitsubishi Mirage vs Nissan Versa Comparison

Nielsen Mitsubishi Rockaway Township: Mirage vs. Versa

When shopping for a new car near Rockaway Township, the decision often comes down to comparing your favorite options. At Nielsen Mitsubishi, we pride ourselves on delivering clear and comprehensive comparisons to assist car buyers in their decision-making.

We've placed the 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage and the 2023 Nissan Versa to show you what makes the Mirage a more enticing option across their performance, design, interiors, and technology features.

Performance

Diving straight into the heart of what powers these two models, the Mitsubishi Mirage has a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine that generates 76 horsepower and 74 pound-feet of torque. Although Versa's 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine has a higher output of 122 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque, the Mirage is more fuel-efficient. It gets 36 mpg around the city and 43 on the highway, making the Mitsubishi Mirage a much more cost-effective option for Newark commuters.

Design

The Mirage and Versa present distinct aesthetics, each with unique appeal. The Versa sedan is more conventional and elegant, with a dark chrome grille and black-painted mirror caps on its top SR trim.

In contrast, the Mitsubishi Mirage brings a zesty edge to the traditional hatchback design with an array of vibrant color options. The standout Mirage Black Edition trim with striking black alloy wheels and matching exterior mirrors creates a captivating contrast against the body color. Topping off the exterior with a roof spoiler playfully detailed with red accents, the Mirage certainly ups its design game as the more expressive and attention-grabbing choice for Hackettstown drivers.

Interior

When comparing the Mirage and Versa interiors, both appeal to driver comfort but to varying degrees. The Versa offers decent amenities, reserving heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and an automatic climate control system for its premium SR trim. The new Mirage offers automatic climate controls, cruise control, and keyless entry. The higher SE trim adds heated front seats and a combination of cloth and simulated leather upholstery.

With the rear seats in place, the 17.1 cubic feet of cargo space in the Mirage holds more than the 14.7 cubic feet in the Versa. When the seats fold down in the Mirage, the storage area expands to 47 cubic feet, which holds more luggage, sports gear, and bulky items.

Technology

In the technology realm, the Mitsubishi Mirage and Nissan Versa offer a similar range of modern conveniences. From the start, both offer Bluetooth connectivity, a four-speaker sound system, USB ports, and a 7-inch display. The Mirage also includes a rearview camera in all its trims, facilitating hassle-free parking. These tech elements underscore the Mirage's emphasis on delivering a robust, well-connected drive from the get-go, distinguishing it as the superior choice for tech enthusiasts at Nielsen Mitsubishi in Rockaway Township.

Both models have essential safety systems like forward collision mitigation and lane departure warning. However, the Mirage SE trim enhances safety measures with automatic high beams and rain-sensing wipers which are conspicuously missing from Versa's list.

Warranty

Denville area car buyers will get more peace of mind driving the new Mitsubishi Mirage. It comes with a 5-year/60,000-mile basic and 10-year/100,000-mile drivetrain warranty plus roadside assistance for 5 years/unlimited miles. Compared to the Nissan Versa's 3-year basic and 5-year drivetrain warranty coverage and only 3 years of roadside assistance, driving the new Mirage will result in lower ownership costs for the vehicle's life.
