Mitsubishi Mirage G4: Which hue is best for you?

Mitsubishi Motor Philippines Corporation (MMPC) introduced the Mirage G4 facelift last year with enhanced styling, more notably on the exterior. One of the new features is the Japanese marque’s signature Dynamic Shield at the front end which can also be seen on the subcompact sedan’s larger siblings such as the Montero Sport and Xpander.

With that being said, you should choose the best Mitsubishi Mirage G4 color to bring out the style that suits your taste. In the local market, the PH-spec subcompact sedan is available in four colors, namely the Red Metallic, Titanium Gray Metallic, Cool Silver Metallic, and White Solid.

Let’s take a look at how the four available Mirage G4 colors in the Philippines stack up against each other. Take note, the following colors may vary from the actual model. As such, use them as references only before heading out to your preferred Mitsubishi dealership in the country.

Daily Driver Finish

To bring out a daily driver finish, there are three Mitsubishi Mirage G4 colors listed in this category. These colors include the White Solid, Cool Silver Metallic, and Titanium Gray Metallic. All of which are available across the range except for the new GLS Sport Trim where the White Solid paint option isn’t offered.

The White Solid body color can be availed of via advanced firm order only. It doesn’t come with additional cost just like the rest of the color options. One of the benefits of getting a white car is its characteristic that reflects sunlight. This results in a cooler cabin as compared to those vehicles with a darker paint like black.

As for the other side of the coin, you have to deal with dirt and dust more as white can reveal those. You might find yourself visiting your local car wash shop or cleaning the subcompact sedan more at home. If you don’t have a lot of time to spare, then maybe you should look for other color options like the Cool Silver Metallic or Titanium Gray Metallic.

Both the Cool Silver Metallic and Titanium Gray Metallic are great choices if you don’t want to look too flashy, as well as too bland. For a lighter finish, choose Cool Silver Metallic. And for a darker hue, then maybe the Titanium Gray Metallic should be your go-to.

If you dig the new Dynamic Shield, you might want to consider getting the Titanium Gray Metallic. The darker approach of the said Mirage G4 color helps highlight the chrome accents on the front fascia more than the Cool Silver Metallic.

In addition, the Japanese subcompact sedan isn’t available with black exterior paint, which is considered a favorite among car buyers. In fact, black paint is one of the most common car colors in the world alongside white. The closest option you got is the Titanium Gray Metallic.

Silver Mitsubishi Mirage G4 color

One of the issues that you have to deal with if you are considering getting one of the three said Mirage G4 colors is exclusivity. The White Solid, Titanium Gray Metallic, and Cool Silver Metallic paint options are some of the most common car colors in the world. But if you only use the vehicle mainly as a daily driver, then this should be the least of your concerns.

Look Fast

Looking at the four available Mitsubishi Mirage G4 colors in the Philippines, the model isn’t available with a lot of bright colors that could appeal to young car buyers. The only color you have for that type of finish is the Red Metallic which can help exude a sporty appeal as compared to the rest of the paint options.

The Red Metallic is perhaps the color option that gets the most attention on the road. It provides an impression that the driver is young and adventurous which can be important if you are that type of person. Plus, this sporty-looking finish doesn’t disrupt any exterior design details installed on the small sedan.

However, the sole color in this category can be difficult to maintain especially if scratches are seen on the exterior. You won’t have this problem if you got the White Solid, Titanium Gray Metallic, and Cool Silver Metallic unless, of course, the damage is significant. As such, if you want to arrive in style, you might want to take extra care on the road to maintain the sporty aesthetic of the Red Metallic.

Take note, the Red Metallic is only available in the Mitsubishi Mirage G4’s CVT variants including the GLX CVT, GLS CVT, and GLS Sport. As of this writing, the said variants have a price that ranges from Php 819,000 to Php 929,000. Meanwhile, the base Mirage G4 GLX MT comes in at Php 769,000.

GLS Sport Trim

The Mitsubishi Mirage G4 GLS Sport trim is the latest addition of MMPC to the range as a limited variant. It doesn’t get an exclusive color. But this variant has body kits that bring out a sportier finish. Available color options for GLS Sport trim are the Cool Silver Metallic, Red Metallic, and Titanium Gray Metallic.

Included in the variant-exclusive body kits of the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 GLS Sport trim are front under grill garnish, front air dam, rear spoiler with stop lamp, rear air dam, and side air dam. All of which are fitted to create a more aerodynamic finish as compared to the rest of the range.

Since the theme of the said variant is sportiness, then you might want to consider opting for the Red Metallic. This way, both the paint and body kits complement each other which should leave a lasting impression. You can also consider getting the subcompact sedan in Titanium Gray Metallic as MMPC chose this color for the launch of the GLS Sport.

If you are interested in the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 GLS Sport trim, you have to keep in mind that only 300 units were said to be made available in the local market. This variant builds on the GLS CVT variant, which means that it is equipped with a 3-spoke leather steering wheel, single-zone automatic climate control, fog lamps, a rearview camera, among others.
