Mitsubishi Space Star / Mirage
These statistics include sales of the Mitsubishi Space Star / Mirage minicar sold from late 2012 onwards. The Mitsubishi Space Star (known as the Mitsubishi Mirage in many markets outside Europe) is a subcompact car produced by Mitsubishi Motors. The nameplate and its market positioning have shifted over time, and there’s a distinction between the earlier “Space Star” model and the more recent one that’s closely related to the Mirage.
Initially, the Space Star was introduced as a compact MPV in 1998, targeting European markets. It was a five-door, five-seater with a raised profile typical of MPVs of the time. The Space Star ceased production in 2005 and was essentially replaced by the Mitsubishi Grandis in terms of segment positioning.
In 2012, Mitsubishi reintroduced the “Space Star” name in Europe for its new subcompact hatchback. In other markets, especially in Asia and North America, this car is known as the Mitsubishi Mirage. The modern Mirage/Space Star is a small, city-friendly car available as a hatchback, and in some markets, a sedan variant called the Attrage or Mirage G4. The Mirage/Space Star primarily utilizes a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine, which emphasizes fuel efficiency. The car is available with manual and CVT transmission options. To summarize, the Mitsubishi Space Star name has been used for two distinct vehicles over the years. The original was a compact MPV from 1998 to 2005, while the more recent iteration, from 2012 onwards, is a subcompact car closely related to the Mitsubishi Mirage.
They exclude sales of the Space Star small MPV, sold from 1998 through 2006. The sedan version of the Space Star is sold as the Mitsubishi Attrage.
