2024 Mitsubishi Mirage

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 Mirage.

Transmission Automatic (variable gear ratios)

The 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage is offered with an automatic transmission featuring variable gear ratios and delivers an EPA‑rated 36 mpg city, 43 mpg highway and 39 mpg combined. Owner feedback for this model year shows only three total complaints, with the most frequent issues reported in steering, suspension and wheels, and there have been no recalls. Looking at the Mirage’s complaint history from 1990 to 2024, the 2024 figure sits near the low end of the spectrum, far below the peak of 88 complaints in 1997 and just above the historic low of one complaint in 2016. This positions the 2024 Mirage as one of the more reliable iterations in the nameplate’s long‑term record.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant at 120,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 120,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

In 2024 the Mirage recorded three complaints, the highest count since 2022 but still far below the peak complaint levels seen in the 1990s. Recalls remained zero, matching the pattern of the past five model years, and no fire or crash‑related complaints were logged. Compared with the preceding years, 2024's complaint total is slightly above 2022 (2) and 2021 (1) but well under the 5‑44 complaints range observed from 2014 through 2019. The vehicle's top complaint categories each accounted for a single incident, indicating isolated issues rather than a systemic defect. Given the low overall complaint volume and absence of recalls, the 2024 model year can be considered a reasonable purchase, though buyers should monitor future reports for any upward trend.
