The Mirage is a hatchback in the class of the Hyundai i10 and Honda Brio. It measures 3.71 meters in length and weighs between 830-870 kg. Power comes from a 1.2-liter three-cylinder petrol engine producing 78 PS at 6,000 rpm and 100 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual and a CVT automatic.

Think of the Mirage-Attrage combo as Mitsubishi's way of competing with the Nissan Micra-Sunny. The Attrage is based on the Mirage's platform and measures 4.245 meters in length. Like the Mirage, the Attrage is powered by a 1.2-liter three-cylinder petrol engine producing the same power and torque outputs as the hatchback. Even the transmission options - 5-speed MT and CVT - are carried over from the Mirage.

The Attrage and Mirage are classified as Eco Cars in Thailand, as they achieve fuel efficiency greater than 20 km/l. Both cars are made at Mitsubishi's Laem Chabang plant in the industrial estate in Chonburi province in Thailand.
