Restyling of the fifth-generation Mitsubishi Mirage was marked by a number of changes. First of all, this is a new front optics, including headlights with multi-reflectors; also updated the grille, the design of the bumpers, rear combined lights. The car has upgraded airbags, interior equipment has been improved, new features have been added, including antibacterial equipment, etc. The range of Mirage Asti coupe engines remained unchanged: a 1.3-liter SOHC 4-cylinder engine, a 1.5-liter DOHC and a 1.6-liter DOHC MIVEC.
 After restyling, the list of coupe trim levels has been updated. Given that the car was popular among young people, increased attention was paid to in-car equipment. In the basic version of Asti V, the car is equipped with air conditioning, a cassette player with AM / FM radio and 4 speakers, electrically folding side mirrors. There are cosmetic mirrors in sun visors - for the driver and front passenger. The Asti V L package version offers improved equipment: rear spoiler, remote key. On the contrary, the special version of Marion was offered at a particularly low price, it was deprived of a number of options, but with the preservation of the most important comfort functions: power windows and a remote key, air conditioning and audio system. The Sport and Z models were equipped with a rear spoiler as standard, while the RX and RS had a larger Lancer Evolution-style spoiler.

 Modifications of the Mitsubishi Mirage Asti coupe from 1997-2000, as before restyling, include the three available engine options. The base is the 12-valve SOHC 4G13, its power of 88 horsepower is enough for city driving. Models with an engine of 1.5 liters are equipped with a 4G15 unit of a DOHC design with a capacity of 110 liters. with. - This engine is distinguished by improved environmental parameters, as well as quite decent power characteristics, especially considering the low weight of the compartment compared to the 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 coupe body are: length 4230 mm, width 1690 mm, height 1365-1385 mm. Ground clearance: 150-160 mm. The wheelbase of the coupe is the same as that of the hatchback, and shorter than that of the sedan - 2415 mm. Interior dimensions 1720 x 1430 x 1145 mm (L x W x H). The boot volume of the Mirage Asti coupe is 326 liters. The rear seat has folding backrests, increasing the luggage capacity if necessary.

 The safety of the Mitsubishi Mirage fully complies with the requirements of its time. The body has been modified in terms of protecting passengers in a collision and has increased rigidity, an anti-lock braking system ABS and a set of airbags are standardly installed. It can be noted that after restyling, the airbags were modernized and have improved response efficiency.

 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. In 2000, the production of Mirage was discontinued. The revival of the name Mirage took place only in 2012, with a complete change in the concept and class of this car.
