Background: A Decade‑Old Platform Gets a Refresh
The Mitsubishi Attrage, known as the Mirage in many markets, first rolled out in 2011. Over the past 15 years the model has largely retained its original underpinnings while rivals moved on to second‑ and third‑generation designs. Mitsubishi has kept the car relevant with mid‑cycle updates in 2015 and 2019, and now the Thai market will see the latest 2026 facelift.
Exterior Changes: A Sportier Front End
The most noticeable update is the front fascia. A wider, mesh‑style grille—reminiscent of the retired Lancer Evolution—gives the sedan a more aggressive, performance‑inspired look. Mitsubishi’s Dynamic Shield language has been refined: the bumper now appears thicker and is finished in black instead of chrome. Integrated fog‑lamp vents sit in the lower bumper, while the headlamp assembly remains the same as the 2019 refresh. The side profile and rear end stay unchanged, preserving the model’s familiar silhouette.
Notably, the hatchback version, sold as the Mirage, does not receive these front‑end tweaks.
Interior & Technology: Familiar Cabin, Small Tweaks
Inside, the 2026 Attrage retains its straightforward layout. The central console still hosts a 7‑inch infotainment screen positioned next to an analog instrument cluster—an arrangement that many drivers find intuitive. Additional conveniences include a rear‑seat armrest with cup holders, cruise control, a start‑stop system, keyless entry, anti‑theft coding, and a spacious trunk.
Powertrain: Efficient 1.2‑L MIVEC
Under the hood the car continues to use Mitsubishi’s naturally aspirated 1.2‑litre MIVEC engine, delivering 78 hp and 100 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with a seamless‑shift design.
Pricing & Availability in Thailand
The refreshed sedan launches in Thailand at a base price of 564,000 baht (around $17,000). The Mirage hatchback starts at 509,000 baht (about $15,300), offering a slightly cheaper entry point.
How It Fares in Vietnam
In Vietnam the Attrage remains a sedan‑only offering, priced between 380 million and 480 million VND depending on trim. By the end of May, local sales had reached 613 units, indicating modest but steady demand.
Overall, the 2026 facelift gives the long‑running Attrage a fresh visual punch while keeping the proven, economical drivetrain that appeals to budget‑conscious buyers.
