A compact hatchback with a spunky motor and street racer design elements like the 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage is a terrific small car for city drivers. Whether you need to hug tight turning corners or you want to speed down the highway in style, the Mirage at your Mitsubishi dealer offers the right blend of standard features to simplify your life. A Closer Look at the 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage at Your Mitsubishi Dealer The base trim of the 2024 Mirage is the ES CVT model. This entry-level model has a 1.2-liter in-line three-cylinder 12-valve engine that generates 78 horsepower and 74 lb.-ft of torque. This small but fighting powertrain is what gives the lightweight hatchback such stunning fuel economy. You can expect the ES CVT to get 36 MPG in the city, 43 MPG on the interstate, and 39 MPG combined. One of the key factors for why the Mirage is such a great city car is its tidy turning radius, which is 15.1 feet. With such a small turning radius, the Mirage can easily turn into tight parking spaces and narrow, one-way streets, or even pop a quick U-turn on a dime. more Seating and Cargo The entry-level Mirage has a five-passenger seating capacity and a total passenger volume of 86.2 cubic feet. Passengers in the front of the vehicle have 41.7 inches of legroom, while rear-seat passengers can stretch out with 34.2 inches of legroom. The dedicated cargo volume behind the back seats is 17.1 cubic feet, which is enough space to tote several suitcases or other large cargo. The Mirage has a standard split-folding rear seat, so you can fold down one or both back seats to maximize the cargo area in the hatchback. The base model has a six-way adjustable driver's seat and a four-way adjustable passenger's seat as standard features. Convenience The standard features of the base Mirage make it easy to access your music for streaming and stay comfortable. The ES CVT has a seven-inch display with a smartphone link, which enables you to access connectivity apps like Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and wireless Bluetooth technology. Wireless connectivity is important if you would rather not have multiple aux cords cluttering your console, especially when you can use steering wheel-mounted controls to navigate your playlist. The Mirage comes with automatic climate control and a micron air filtration system so you can enjoy clean air at a comfortable temperature every day of the year. This model even has rear heater floor ducts to keep rear passengers comfortable. The newest wonder of the road is the 2024 Mirage, a racy hatchback with features fine-tuned for city living and driving. Take this hot hatch out for a spin when you visit DELLA Mitsubishi in Plattsburgh, NY.

As time passes, brake components become worn or might sustain damage. Any problem with your braking system reduces your safety, as your brakes need to operate within seconds when you need them to. At your Mitsubishi dealership, we can fix any of these problems for you. These are a few signs that you need a brake repair. Signs You Need a Brake Repair at Your Mitsubishi Dealership Vibrations When You Brake When you hit the brakes, they should respond smoothly, and the only sensation you should feel is the resistance from the braking pedal. If you feel wobbling or vibrations when you brake, this is a sign that you have a brake problem. This type of problem is usually caused by damage to one or more of the wheel rotors. As soon as you step on the brake pedal, the brake calipers grab both sides of each wheel rotor.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Brake pads inside the calipers generate friction against the smooth rotor surfaces, and this action stops your wheels. The rotor surface becomes less smooth over time. If a caliper grabs an uneven part of a rotor, it will generate vibrations. We'll examine your rotors and resurface them if needed to correct this problem. more Screeching Noises Noise when you apply the brakes is never a good sign. The brakes are designed to respond quickly but silently. A high-pitched screeching noise is a sign that one or more of your brake pads has worn down. As we saw above, the brake pads generate friction that stops your wheels. The friction material covering a pad gradually wears off, and the pad will need replacement. When a pad reaches its replacement time, a metal spike becomes visible in the friction material. This spike will scratch against the rotor and produce a screeching noise. When you hear this sound, it's time to visit us for replacement pads. If a pad isn't replaced before the material wears off, the metal pad will gouge into the rotor surface and damage it. Replacing your pads is quick and inexpensive and can prevent unnecessary rotor damage. Leaking Brake Fluid Brake fluid allows your braking system to work. It produces the hydraulic pressure that enables the calipers to close on the rotors and stop your car. Brake lines can rust, and brake hoses can develop leaks if they're not regularly serviced. If you have a brake fluid leak, pressure in the braking system will drop, and your brake will become slower to respond. A fluid leak can be difficult to spot, as the fluid is pale yellow. You will notice a lack of fluid when you step on the brake pedal and feel little resistance. We can easily find the cause of the leak and permanently seal it. If you have a brake problem, call us ASAP at DELLA Mitsubish i.

Your Mirage, Eclipse Cross, or Outlander relies on a complex system of components to slow and stop your vehicle. If any of these parts are worn, damaged, or malfunctioning, it can seriously impact your safety. Fortunately, there are ways to determine when the braking system is not performing as it should and a brake repair from your Mitsubishi dealer is necessary. One of the Brake Warning Lights Is On When you start your car, you will notice that the Antilock Brake System (ABS) warning light lights up. However, something is wrong if the light stays on or comes on while you're driving. The ABS light warns that your vehicle doesn't have antilock brakes, but if the brake system warning light is off, you can still rely on your brakes. If your car's brake system warning light comes on, it's crucial to get repairs done as soon as possible. more You Hear High-Pitched Screeching Sounds If you hear a high-pitched screeching sound when you step on the brake pedal, the wear indicators warn you that the brake pads are wearing thin and need to be replaced soon. Brake pads under 3.2 millimeters thick must be replaced immediately to prevent failure. Your Hear Grinding Noises When brake pads wear down completely, the bare metal will scrape against the steel rotors, making awful grinding noises. In extreme cases, the heat will cause your brakes to stick, which is incredibly dangerous. Repairing or replacing damaged rotors can also be quite expensive. You Notice a Brake Fluid Leak Brake fluid leaks will severely affect your vehicle's braking performance. When the brake fluid level drops, it will trigger the warning light. Check for yellow or brown puddles underneath your car that look like oil but don't have an oily consistency. If your car is leaking brake fluid, it's best to get the leak repaired promptly. Your Brakes Are Unresponsiveness When you step on the brake pedal and your brakes feel spongy and unresponsive, it could be due to worn brake pads, an air leak, or a leaking brake hose. It will also take your car longer to come to a complete stop. Addressing these issues immediately is essential to ensure your safety on the road. You Feel Vibrations When Braking If you notice vibrations through your brake pedal during normal braking, the rotors are warped and not making even contact with the brake pads. As your car's rotors get old or thin, they may start to warp. Excessive braking can create a lot of friction and heat, contributing to warping. You Smell a Burning Odor If you smell burning from your brakes, they are overheating and won't provide the stopping power you need to be safe on the road. Pullover, wait for the brakes to cool down, and schedule a brake system repair. The brake system is one of your vehicle's most critical safety features and must always be in perfect working order. If you have a braking problem, stop at DELLA Mitsubishi today, and our team of qualified technicians will perform expert and reliable repairs.
