Mitsubishi is most well known in India for its sporty sedans, the Lancer and Cedia, which it no longer sells here, and its large, full size SUVs. That could soon change when the Japanese automaker brings its first hatchback to India in a couple of years.
Mitsubishi's executive officer and corporate general manager (Asia and ASEAN office), Ken Horinouchi has now said that the company is planning to launch, not just a hatchback, but 5 new models all together by 2016.
While exact details and launch dates weren’t confirmed, one of the cars that is a strong contender for launch in India is the Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback. While the ‘Mirage’ name was previously used for the Mitsubishi Lancer sedan and coupé in certain markets, it now refers to the company’s new compact hatchback. A rival to the likes of the Maruti Celerio and Hyundai i10, the Mirage is powered by a 77bhp, 1.2-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine in the ASEAN markets in which it is already on sale. Apart from a manual gearbox, it also gets a CVT automatic option
