Hyundai Accent 1.6 CRDi GL AT DCT (2015) vs Mitsubishi Mirage G4 GLX CVT (2025)

Hyundai Accent 1.6 CRDi GL AT DCT (2015) vs Mitsubishi Mirage G4 GLX CVT (2025): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing cost, performance and practicality, the choice hinges on what matters most. The 2015 Hyundai Accent 1.6 CRDi GL AT DCT costs ₱858,000, a bit more than the 2025 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 GLX CVT at ₱841,000, but it delivers a far stronger drivetrain: a 136 PS diesel engine with 300 Nm of torque and a 7‑speed DCT, versus the Mirage’s modest 78 PS gasoline unit with 100 Nm and a CVT. If you need brisk acceleration, better low‑end pull for city traffic or occasional highway merges, the Accent’s torque advantage is decisive. It also offers a 5‑door sedan layout and a 2+3 seating arrangement, giving a bit more flexibility for occasional extra passengers, and its longer 4,370 mm body provides slightly more interior space. Conversely, the Mirage shines on fuel‑type simplicity – gasoline is more widely available and cheaper to refill than diesel in many Philippine locales – and its newer 2025 model may feel more contemporary. Its 4‑door design and standard 5‑seat layout suit small families or daily commuters who prioritize ease of entry and lower running costs. In short, choose the Accent if you value power, torque and a bit more room and don’t mind a diesel engine; pick the Mirage if you prefer a newer, gasoline‑powered sedan with marginally lower upfront cost and simpler fuel logistics.
