Mitsubishi Mirage G4 vs Nissan Versa: Trim Levels

Four trim levels fill out the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 lineup, including ES, LE, Carbonite Edition, and SE. This gives you diversity between the trims, so you can focus on the one that suits you. The Nissan Versa provides three trims, including S, SV, and SR. 

Trim Levels
The Mitsubishi features a more compact body style with a length of 169.5 inches and a width of 65.7 inches, allowing the car to slip into tight spaces. It also stands at a height of 59.2 inches. Its turning radius of 15.8 inches assures increased maneuverability when getting into that tough spot.

The Nissan reaches 177 inches in length and spans 68.5 inches in width, which means it’s stouter. With a height of 57.3 inches, it is shorter than the Mirage G4, so it could go under a shallow underpass. If you’re attempting to park in a tight space, though, the 17.4-inch turning radius may give you a challenge.

Mitsubishi Mirage G4 vs Nissan Versa: Performance

Both the Mitsubishi and Nissan provide you with either a standard 5-speed manual transmission or the available Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The Versa goes by the title, Xtronic CVT®, for their available version. 

Differences surface, though, in the gas mileage stats. No matter the transmission, the Mirage G4 achieves an EPA-estimated 35 city/41 highway MPG. With the Versa and the manual transmission, it achieves an EPA-estimated 27 city/35 highway MPG, but with the Xtronic CVT®, it achieves an EPA-estimated 32 city/40 highway MPG. So, either way, the Mitsubishi gets better gas mileage.

Mitsubishi Mirage G4 vs Nissan Versa: Space

Inside the cabin, each car offers a 6-way adjustable driver’s seat and 4-way adjustable front passenger’s seat. To evenly circulate the air in the cabin, though, only the Mitsubishi outfits it with standard automatic climate control.

Lots more wiggle room comes in the Mirage G4 cabin with 89.2 cubic feet of passenger volume. You’ll also get extra space in the rear with 36.8 inches of rear headroom and 37.3 inches of rear legroom.

A passenger volume of 88.9 cubic feet means less room in the Versa. Also, it has less rear headroom with 36.3 inches and only 31 inches of rear legroom.
