Mitsubishi names its Ecocar and is due in Thai showrooms next March
This is the first official picture of Mitsubishi’s Ecocar which will make its world debut at this month’s Tokyo motor show.
Slated to go on sale in Thailand first in March 2012, the small five-door hatchback will be called Mirage – a nameplate going back to the late seventies when Mitsubishi rolled out its first space-saving city car.
Measuring 3,710mm in overall length and 1,490m in height, the Mirage is slightly smaller than the Nissan March – Thailand’s first Ecocar – although the 1,665mm width is identical.
For the Japanese market, Mitsubishi is aiming for a 30kpl fuel economy record when equipped with a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, CVT automatic, automatic stop/go and 14-inch tyres rimmed with low rolling resistance tyres.
Earlier this year when Mitsubishi previewed in the Mirage in the guise of the Global Small Concept, it said that there will also be a bigger 1.2-litre variation. Along with the March, the Honda Brio also uses a similarly sized motor.
