One Of America’s Only Sub-$20K Cars Is Dead

One Of America's Only Sub-$20K Cars Is Dead

The 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage will soon be discontinued in the US market, according to a new report from Automotive News. Will anyone miss it though? At just $16,245 ($17,340 with destination), the Mirage is among the cheapest new cars available, but it recently lost its America’s cheapest new vehicle title to the Nissan Versa, which costs $15,730.

With the Mirage dead, the list of vehicles that truly cost less than $20,000 has been cut to the aforementioned Versa and the Kia Rio. The Kia Forte and Hyundai Venue squeeze under that price, but destination fees take them above the psychological $20k barrier. According to Cox Automotive, the Mirage was the only vehicle that actually transacted under $20,000 in the month of July.
