It seems like everything from pickup trucks to luxury sedans are starting to "go green" in the U.S. auto industry. At Skyline Mitsubishi we think it's great. With the customer demand on the rise, automakers are creating vehicles that go the distance with less fuel and still look stylish.

The only downside is when it comes to winning awards, since the green categories are growing. That is why we are so proud of our brand new 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage for clenching a spot on the "Greenest Car List". This American Council for Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) nod is prestigious and we're glad we met their standards.

Not only did this vehicle gain this notable mention, but it was able to duke it out with hybrid vehicles. Conventional cars often have a hard time earning these high ranks, but we did it! The EPA has given fuel ratings at 40 mpg combined. For those who do their commuting on the highway, expect around 44 mpg. For stop and go city cruisers, you won't be upset with the estimated 37 mpg!

While we could go on and on about the fuel efficiency of the Mirage, we also have to talk about its amenities as well, which are great. A 130-watt, four speaker sound system will have you driving along to good music and the leather wrapped steering wheel will make your hands smile.

With a starting MSRP just under $13,000, you may be able to upgrade to more advanced features, like a 7-inch touch screen navigation system, body accessories for an added sporty appeal, and sensors that will assist you when parallel parking.

For more information on when we expect to see this 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage come to our Thorton, CO dealership, you can contact us or stop in. We are located at 2040 W. 104th Avenue and we're ready to tell you more about this award winning car!
