2020 Toyota Corolla Hatchback vs. 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage

There aren’t all that many automakers still producing hatchbacks. Of the five-door cars available on the market today, potential owners can be faced with some glaring disparities between available options that can lead to major disappointments. A comparison between the 2020 Toyota Corolla Hatchback vs. 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage will provide buyers with a pretty clear illustration of the disparities found in this corner of the automotive industry. Independent online experts had several positive things to say about the 2020 Corolla Hatchback including glowing reviews of its handling, ride quality and a long list of standard active safety systems. 

The 2020 Corolla Hatchback offers significantly more performance than its Mitsubishi rival without sacrificing fuel economy in any meaningful way as well as being more technologically advanced. Customers can start the pre-ordering process for the 2020 Toyota Corolla Hatchback today by calling 203-286-5500. 

Both Toyota and Mitsubishi make a single engine and a couple of transmission choices available for their respective hatchbacks. The 2020 Toyota Corolla Hatchback has a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood that will produce 168 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. SE and XSE models can be equipped with either a six-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission. People who are interested in taking the 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage home with them will have a 1.2-liter, three-cylinder engine that will be mated to either a five-speed manual or a CVT. The 2020 Mirage will only produce up to 78 horsepower and 74 pound-feet of torque.  

Conventional wisdom would say that a vehicle with higher performance scores must produce lower fuel economy scores. A 2020 Corolla Hatchback with the manual transmission will record up to 28 miles per gallon in the city and 37 miles per gallon on the highway. Colonial Toyota customers choosing a version with the CVT can expect at least 30 mpg in the city and up to 41 mpg on the highway – depending on trim grade. The 2020 Mirage with either of its transmission will only post fuel economy scores that are only a few points better than the 2020 Corolla Hatchback, despite making less than half the amount of horsepower. 

Every 2020 Toyota Corolla Hatchback is outfitted with a smartphone-compatible infotainment system that offer access to both the Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. A 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot is also available. Only upper trim grades of the 2020 Mirage offer smartphone integration and an internet connection is not an available option.
