The Mitsubishi Mirage may not be the new-car market's most exciting model, but it has been one of the Japanese company's best-selling cars in the U.S., with over 22,000 units sold last year. Now Mitsubishi hopes to increase its relatively paltry market share by adding a sedan variant, the 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4.

Visually, the 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 sedan is similar tothe recently updated hatchback, albeit with a traditional trunk bodystyle. Inside the cabin, too, the G4 closely resembles its hatchback sibling.

The new Mirage G4 sedan has the same 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine, producing just 78 horsepower, that's found in the Mirage hatchback. Due to the engine's small displacement and the car's low weight, the Mirage G4 returns great fuel efficiency, hitting 37/44 mpg (city/highway) in EPA testing. "The Mirage hatchback and now the Mirage G4 sedan will form a formidable one-two punch in the subcompact segment," Mitsubishi Motors North America executive vice president Don Swearingen said in a statement.

In addition to packing a touchscreen infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, the Mirage will also feature Mitsubishi's fully-transferable warranties including its 5-year/60,000 mile new vehicle limited warranty; 10-year/100,000 mile powertrain limited warranty; 7-year/100,000 mile anti-corrosion perforation limited warranty and a 5-year/unlimited mile roadside assistance.

While pricing has yet to be released, the Mirage G4 sedan will likely have a similar pricing structure as the Mirage hatchback and start near $13,000, and top out close to $16,000. Mitsubishi will begin sales of the Mirage G4 sedan this spring.
