Mitsubishi Mirage G4 vs Nissan Versa: Exterior

If you live in a Bay Area city or get a fairly compact parking space, you want a car that’s suitably sized for a snug fit. Since the Mirage G4 stretches to 169.5 inches in length and spans 65.7 inches in width, we think your car will expertly tuck into any space. The 15.8-foot turning radius allows you to maneuver more easily into that space as well.

With the Versa, it’s much longer at 177 inches in length and wider at 68.5 inches in width. While this car is not huge, it’s larger than the Mitsubishi, so it’s not going to fit in every small space. To top that off, it comes with a longer turning radius of 17.4 feet, so you’ll detect a decrease in your ability to move into just any space.

Mitsubishi Mirage G4 vs Nissan Versa: Performance

For your shifting capability, the Mirage G4 offers either a standard 5-speed manual transmission or the available Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). So does the Versa, but the secondary transmission goes by another name—the Xtronic CVT®. 

If you drive the Mitsubishi, it achieves an EPA-estimated 35 city/41 highway MPG, no matter the trim or transmission. The Nissan achieves an EPA-estimated 27 city/35 highway MPG with the 5-speed transmission and achieves an EPA-estimated 32 city/40 highway MPG with the Xtronic CVT®. Neither one tops the Mitsubishi.

Again, you’ll be startled by the similarities between the Mirage G4 and the Versa.  Then it takes a turn, and you learn that the Mirage G4 offers standard automatic climate control, while you’ll have to add that to the Versa.

Next, we look around the cabin. The Mitsubishi provides you with 89.2 cubic feet of passenger volume. You’ll also get 36.8 inches of rear headroom with an expansive 37.3 inches of legroom in the back.

Less passenger volume comes in the Nissan at a total of 88.9 cubic feet. The rear headroom sees a slight decrease from the Mitsubishi at 36.3 inches. Quite a difference appears for the rear legroom with only 31 inches.

Mitsubishi Mirage G4 vs Nissan Versa: Technology

Many of the technology features rank the same. Both the Mirage G4 and the Versa come with a 7-inch screen in front. Each comes with a rearview camera system, although the Nissan calls theirs the RearView Monitor.

There’s one difference. You can use your phone aboard any Mirage G4 trim with Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™. Unfortunately, not every trim offers the same in the Versa.
