This generation of Mirage has an easily recognizable body design, however, a distinctive feature is a more pronounced sports orientation in external design compared to previous generation models. This direction is emphasized by the unusual line of the body, smoothly rising from the front to the middle pillars. The hatchback also looks more aesthetically and dynamically thanks to the large rear roof spoiler. The line of engines used on this generation of the model is identical to the previous one - the 1.3-liter SOHC 4-cylinder, 1.5-liter DOHC and 1.6-liter DOHC MIVEC got the hatchback. The most powerful is the Cyborg modification (1.6 l, 175 hp), in the equipment of which a lot of sports elements are used.
Thanks to the efforts of designers, the Mirage interior is designed in a dynamic style, which corresponds to the graphics of the dashboard, three-spoke steering wheel, improved lateral support; equipment with a white “tidy”, MOMO steering wheel and other sports attributes are especially notable. The decoration offered different design options for the fabric upholstery of the seats and on the door inserts - they could make the interior both a little more austere and more comfortable. The equipment offered for the hatchback includes power windows with anti-pinch function, power mirrors (folding function - option), remote key, rear wiper. Depending on the configuration, the Mirage can be equipped with air conditioning or a climate control system with a large separate display. Options included navigation, a CD player and a CD changer. Obligatory equipment for the sports versions of the hatchback were fog lights, an external body kit and a rear spoiler, a leather steering wheel, 15-inch alloy wheels, it was possible to order an additional sports display panel in the cabin, a body brace between the front pillars. In the summer of 1997, the Modarc package appeared in the hatchback line - an interesting specification with chrome-plated external parts: radiator grille, mirror housings, door handles, corner inserts on bumpers. Speaking in more detail about the aggregate part of the Mirage hatchback, the basic engine here is the 4G13 - 12-valve SOHC, its 88 horsepower is quite enough for city driving. Models with a 1.5-liter engine received the newly developed 1.5-liter 4G15 DOHC unit with 110 horsepower. - Its advantages are improved environmental parameters, as well as quite decent power characteristics, especially considering the small weight of the three-door compared to a sedan. Models of a sports plan, which, of course, can be attributed to the Cyborg version, were equipped with a 175-horsepower 1.6-liter DOHC 4G92 with a variable valve timing mechanism. Depending on the modification, a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission can be installed on the Mirage. In this generation, Mirages received a new automatic transmission with the INVECS-II control system, first introduced in 1994 at the Mitsubishi FTO - it has an improved adaptive switching logic. In addition to the front-wheel drive version, there are four-wheel drive versions of this model.
Similar to the fourth generation of the Mitsubishi Mirage, the chassis has a completely independent suspension design: MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear. It is worth noting that in powerful versions, the Mirage has a sports suspension. Only the simplest modifications relied on the rear drum brakes, in other cases, front and rear disk mechanisms were installed that could realize fairly effective braking in the presence of more powerful motors. In this generation, the dimensions of the hatchback body are: length 3870 mm, width 1680 mm, height 1365-1385 mm. Ground clearance: 150-160 mm. The hatchback has a shorter wheelbase than a sedan - 2415 mm. Interior dimensions 1655 x 1430 x 1145 mm (L x W x H). The rear seat has folding backrests and allows you to increase the amount of luggage from 240 to 830 liters.
More attention in the fifth generation of the Mitsubishi Mirage is given to safety. The body has been modified in terms of protecting passengers in a collision and has increased rigidity, two front airbags (driver / passenger) are standardly installed, three-point belts (including rear ones), and the ABS system. However, some inexpensive trim levels until October 1996 offered ABS and airbags as an option.
At the time of the creation of the fifth generation Mirage, certain difficulties at Mitsubishi forced the developers to make purely evolutionary changes while maintaining the sports concept of their predecessor. In some ways, the new Mirage has become simpler (this is noticeable in inexpensive trim levels), but in powerful versions it is still assertive and aggressive in nature. Consumption, handling, as always, on top. Apart from the very demanding engine oil quality, the main disadvantages are: stiffer suspension, poor noise insulation and corrosion protection of the body.

This generation of Mirage has an easily recognizable body design, however, a distinctive feature is a more pronounced sports orientation in external design compared to previous generation models. Mirage sedan is very similar to Lancer, it is with this car that Mirage has many common components. The Mirage sedan rolled off the assembly line with a hatchback in October 1995. The range of engines used on this generation of sedan is largely identical to the previous one. Some units have increased their power indicators, there are new ones, for example, a 1.8-liter turbo engine in the modification of VR-X with a capacity of 205 hp.

The decoration offered different design options for the fabric upholstery of the seats and on the door inserts - they could make the interior both a little more austere and more comfortable. Of the equipment, the car will offer power windows with a function of protection against pinching, electric mirrors (folding function - optional), a remote key. Depending on the configuration, the Mirage can be equipped with air conditioning or a climate control system with a large separate display. Expensive versions of the VIE Saloon sedan offered an electric driver’s seat, alloy wheels, an additional rear spoiler and rear wiper, fog lights and more. Options also included navigation, a CD player and a CD changer. Mandatory equipment for the sports versions of the sedan were foglights, an external body kit and a rear spoiler, a leather steering wheel, 15-inch alloy wheels, it was possible to install a sports display panel in the passenger compartment, and a body brace between the front pillars. Speaking in more detail about the aggregate part, the motor line of the Mitsubishi Mirage 1995-1997 sedan is quite extensive and includes modernized predecessor engines, as well as new units. In-line 4-cylinder engines ranging in volume from 1.3 liters to 1.6 liters deliver power from 85 to 175 hp. Truly sporty is the turbocharged Mirage VR-X with a 1.8-liter 4G93, which returns 205 hp. The former 1.6-liter (6A10) V-shaped DOHC 6-cylinder engine was replaced with a new 1.8-liter SOHC with a 24-valve mechanism, its capacity was 135 liters. with. against previous 140 hp Only for the sedan was the diesel engine 4D68 (2.0 L, 88 hp), well-known for the previous generation, offered.

This generation Mirage has an easily recognizable bodywork; however, a distinctive feature is a more pronounced sporting orientation in external design compared to previous generation models. The coupe model debuted in December 1995, a few months after the launch of the fifth generation Mirage (the sedan and hatchback were the first to go in the series). Like the previous generation of the model, the name Asti is applied to the coupe. The main nodes in Mirage are the same with Lancer. The design of the coupe attracts with an unusual, smooth body line and the presence of five seats. The used line of engines of this generation of the model is identical to the previous one.
Thanks to the efforts of designers, the interior of the Mirage Asti is designed in a dynamic style, which corresponds to the graphics of the dashboard, three-spoke steering wheel, improved lateral support; equipment with a white “tidy”, MOMO steering wheel and other sports attributes are especially notable. The decoration offered different design options for the fabric upholstery of the seats and on the door inserts - they could make the interior both a little more austere and more comfortable. The equipment offered for the coupe includes electric side mirrors, power windows with anti-pinch function, adjustable steering column, remote key. Depending on the configuration, the Mirage can be equipped with air conditioning or a climate control system with a large separate display. Options included navigation, a CD player and a CD changer, and a rear wiper. Mandatory equipment for the sports versions of the coupe was fog lights, an external body kit and a rear spoiler, a leather steering wheel, 15-inch alloy wheels, it was possible to install an additional sports display panel in the passenger compartment, and a body brace between the front pillars.
