The 2024 Mirage and Elantra are two worthy competitors for buyers who want an economical set of wheels. They both fit five passengers and come with a five-year/60K-mile warranty. Both models are front-wheel drive and provide efficient performance. The Mirage does come out ahead with a slightly higher mpg for both city and highway driving. You'll get up to 36 miles in the city per gallon and 43 mpg on the highway. Fewer fill-ups mean you can get where you need to go sooner.

Though the 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage is significantly shorter in length than the Elantra, it has about the same amount of room inside for both front and rear passengers. It's also about four inches taller than the Elantra, which gives your taller passengers more headroom. The Mirage has an extra inch of ground clearance and a shorter turning radius, which makes it easier to maneuver in heavy traffic or over taller obstacles. The Mirage offers a higher payload for carrying heavy items or a lot of stuff. The total interior volume is higher with the Mirage than with the Elantra. With all the seats in place, the Mirage offers over 17 cubic feet while the Elantra has just 14 cubic feet.

Both Hyundai and Mitsubishi have equipped their cars to be practical for drivers. They include features such as auto on/off headlamps and intermittent windshield wipers. Only the Mirage continues this feature for the rear window though to help you have a better view behind you in the rain. Inside, the two cars are also very similar. They include power windows and locks, remote keyless entry and folding rear seats. The Mirage gives you the added option of a 60/40 fold, which allows you to carry a passenger and haul longer items. You'll also appreciate the auto climate control of the Mirage, while the Elantra has a manual control.

The Mirage and Elantra are also competitive on technology features. Both models include an infotainment system with touchscreen and hands-free Bluetooth. You can connect your smartphone with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay and use USB ports to charge your devices. The two cars work to keep you safe with systems like Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Braking. They also include a tire pressure monitoring system and front and rear airbags. The Mirage adds knee airbags to the car to help you feel safer.
