Mitsubishi has announced that it will discontinue the production of the Mirage, its popular compact car, by 2025. The decision comes as the company shifts focus towards SUVs and electrification. The Mirage, known for its affordability and fuel efficiency, has been a key model in Mitsubishi’s lineup for years, especially in markets like Southeast Asia and North America. However, with changing consumer preferences and the push towards more environmentally friendly vehicles, Mitsubishi has decided to phase out the Mirage to make way for new, more sustainable models.
The discontinuation marks the end of an era for the Mirage, which has been in production since 1978. While the decision may disappoint loyal customers, Mitsubishi is looking to the future with a renewed focus on innovation and sustainability. The company’s strategic shift aligns with broader industry trends towards electrification and the development of new SUV models.
