ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage?
The 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage distinguishes itself from its immediate predecessor in one meaningful way: its NHTSA Safety Index climbed one point to 85/100 from the 2023 model's 84/100, both within the Strong band. That gain is modest in absolute terms, but the composition of the score tells a more specific story. The defect record sub-score reached a perfect 20 out of 20, driven directly by the absence of any recall campaigns for this model year. That clean recall slate is the defining safety characteristic of the 2024 model year and separates it from years where even minor campaigns can erode the defect component. Crash protection contributed 56 out of a possible 70 points, consistent with the uniform 4-star NHTSA ratings across overall, frontal, side, and rollover categories. The 16 percent rollover risk and a No Tip dynamic result add further texture to that picture. Avoidance technology scored 8.5 out of 10, supported by standard forward collision warning and standard electronic stability control, though lane departure warning remains optional rather than standard. The complaint volume of 3 unverified reports is low for a model year now two years into the used market, and none of those allegations involve crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths.
