A comparison of engines and performance
The 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage has just a single engine option, a three-cylinder model that generates 78 horsepower. The Toyota Corolla for 2023 offers a 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine that's good for 169 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. The Mitsubishi's tiny size makes it ideal for city driving and for fitting into tight parking spots.
A comparison of fuel efficiency
The Mitsubishi Mirage is one of the most fuel-efficient cars for sale anywhere in America. The hatchback gets an EPA-estimated 36 MPG on city streets and 43 MPG on the highway. The Toyota Corolla hatchback comes up short with an EPA-estimated 30 MPG in the city and only 38 MPG on the highway. The Mirage sedan will give you 35 MPG in urban areas and 41 MPG on the highway while the Corolla sedan offer is only 32 MPG in the city.
A comparison of warranties
Mitsubishi covers the Mirage with a 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. That's some of the best protection offered by any car maker in America. The 2023 Toyota Corolla provides only a three-year/36,000-mile limited warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. In other words, the Mirage's basic warranty actually equals the Corolla's powertrain warranty. Mitsubishi wins this one by a landslide.
A comparison of cargo space
The Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback models give you an amazing 17.1 cubic feet of storage space behind the 2nd row and 47 cubic feet with those sheets folded. Those are some of the best numbers in the subcompact car class. The Toyota Corolla give you 13.1 cubic feet of trunk space in the sedan although the hatchback has 17.8 cubic feet of space in the rear storage area.
A comparison of interiors
The Mitsubishi Mirage comes with a standard 7-inch touch screen along with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ and a four speaker stereo. The Toyota Corolla has an edge in this comparison with an 8-inch standard touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ and a six-speaker stereo along with the ability to upgrade to 8 or 9 speakers. The Mitsubishi Mirage does offer a little more room in the sedan vs. its own hatchback, especially in the back seats.
A comparison of pricing ballparks
The Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback has a starting price in an extremely reasonable range starting just over $16,000 for the hatchback and just over $17,000 for the sedan. The Toyota Corolla is far more expensive at just under $22,000 for the sedan and a very expensive $36,000 for the hatchback.
A comparison of safety technology
The Mitsubishi Mirage comes with reassuring standard safety features like a rear view camera for backing up safely and a forward collision warning system to help you avoid accidents in front of you. The Toyota Corolla comes with more standard safety features but with that big price difference, it's to be expected. If the Mitsubishi Mirage is your preference, set up a test drive at Route 17 Mitsubishi in Ramsey NJ.
